That suggests to me LiPo batteries as they are the only batteries I am aware of that must not be fully discharged, and would also explain why they cost so much.

Its DA E_CIG, and I'm waiting for mine to arrive.

Aw damn it! I didn't know that when mine did the same thing yesterday!
Shoot, I already demolished the battery to use as a building block for a possible AAA NiCad battery set-up. Anybody try that? NiCad does have a high discharge rate, and I imagine more vapour.......and a really fugly e-cig!
