M401/2/3 Supplier list

[wegster]

It seems my other models have a supplier list thread, but not the M401, aka Pilot, Evo, etc. Note the 402 and 403 batteries all screw onto the M401, are just different lengths. The prices shown are valid as of today, obviously may change, and links to USB passthroughs are shown as well.
If some are out of stock (OOS) labelled, this obviously may change, so check back with the link, as I doubt I'll be able to keep stock status updated :-)
If anyone has additions, let me know. No association with any of them, but have had good service to date from multiple of the below.
Prices may be rounded up slightly, if something is $7.95 or $7.99, I call it $8. NOTE:

This list is meant to be as complete as possible for US suppliers, plus the common 'Ship to US' (a few Chinese vendors). If you want to see vendors from the UK and elsewhere, please PM me, will add as I'm able to..thanks!

Note - Puresmoker is also coming out with a 'universal' USB passthrough, which may include an M401/2/3 adapter. Visit his (sponsor) forum and let him know if you'd be interested in an M401 adapter. Also, the JantyStick is supposed to eventually have an M401/2/3 adapter, which is itself has USB passthrough capabilities.

Received 2 passthroughs form Trueman E-cig.
1 - M-401 and 1 - RN4081 @ $9.00ea.
No LED and a bit harder to draw on.

They're OK, but not as good as my others.

[RjG]

Nice list :-) Thanks wegster!

[wegster]

Added LiteCig USA into list. Also have to call out - the list is in no order at this point, other than US suppliers first, followed by a few China vendors.

No association with any of them, have ordered from several but not all of the above to date, with zero problems.

Let me know if I'm missing anyone else.

yeah.. the m401 passthrough from there is hard to drag on, but it works ok. I was thinking maybe it needs more power than my puter provides.. You have others with an easier draw? I have nothing to compare it to...

p.s... NICE LIST... Good to have all this in one place

myfreedomsmokes.comkit $40battery $14atomizer $8cartridges (5 full/10 empty) $4very reasonable shipping and great customer service.To get these prices go to the wholesale page name: smoke, password: puff
edit: I have no association I'm just a satisfied customer

[enrogae]

Vaporstix.com has the m401 starter kit for $50, and when I ordered mine they shipped it that day. I'm very pleased with those folks thus far.

[wegster]

Added vaporstix and myfreedomsmokes to the list.

What is up with these 'wholesale' (to get normal retail :-/ ) sites anyways? It's not like it's a real wholesale price..

They're OK for $9.00. The one I using right now is from vaporguys, about $19 if my memory serves me right, has the LED too.

The harder draw seems like a tighter vacuum switch. You have to draw harder to activate it. It may loosen up a little with use.

Be careful of the wire. If you keep bending it where it enters the passthrough, it could break. I put a small glob of clear silicone on the end to protect the wire from bending sharply at that point.

I was concerned about that as well.. I don't have much to work with, so I used tape to stiffen it up and protect the wire:

Could the harder draw be caused by the Trueman passthroughs being made from the DSE401 batts instead of the m401 batts? I have never had a DSE401 batt and was told they are based on negative pressure as apposed to the mic in the m401. Were the DSE401 attys made differently? Maybe the atomizers are not in perfect sink with the passthrough. I do notice the little hole is in a diff place on this DSE based passthrough than the M batteries:

DSE-passthrough on the side. m-series straight shot... edit: It is my understanding that the little hole is where the mic is activated on the m-series and the big hole has a light plastic coating inside to protect the hardware... it's not juice getting in the big hole that shorts/clogs up the battery, but the little hole... I would assume the DSE version is the same? Maybe the m-series atty is not lined up properly with the DSE side hole and this causes a harder draw?

Also.. The screw threads on the DSE passthrough look and feel more crude and seem spaced a little farther apart. Could that also have an effect?

Umm.. yeah. before anyone asks.. The other day I started scraping the paint off the battery to try to get a shiny steel look.. with a nail file as it's all I have. metal was nasty smelling on my skin after holding so i used some crappy nail polish to cover it up.

Are they in stock? and are they made from the m-series with the hole in the right place with the (what I believe to be) nicer screw threads? mayhaps next month I should check that out!
