And I would have made it too, if the battery had not died. Grrrr.

I have more on the way, but the auto I have for my 510 seems like a dud, even charging all night long only lasts about an hour. The manual is a little better, after charging all night it lasted from 7:00 am till about noon.

Sort of ticked that the only reason I went back to cigs is because of the battery....this is what concerns me about these things. Love it so far, but afraid I have to carry around tons of equipment just so I don't get caught in the cold. Like right now.

My "drill" with 510 batteries has been to own about a half dozen. I don't use a PCC but I do have a single car charger (the stock wall charger powered by the 12V lighter socket into the charger's mini-plug connection) that constantly has a battery in it, and I rarely run a battery all the way down before rotating it with the fresh one in the charger. At home, I keep all the rest of my batteries in a multi-charger.

I got that "rhythm" pretty well worked out just about the time I got my Ego batteries which makes things a lot easier.

Are the EGO and Hello both fully compatible with manual 510's without any adapters or other things to make them compatible? And does it matter which site you order from (meaning are some EGO's knockoffs and should be avoided?) Also, what other things are needed if purchasing an EGO or Hello for a 510 manual? Chargers? PT? USB? or does the standard manual 510 kit generally come with everything needed to charge an EGO/Hello?

I rotated 5 batteries to keep my 510 unit rolling along with no added real-cigs. Then I discovered Vapor4Life and their XL batteries. It's a whole different model of e-cig, but for me it's much simpler and the battery life is much greater making it worth the additional investment.

Ok, I got my V4L Utlimatum kit. So far so good but I don't really understand the PCC; first of all the manual batts dont fit, the button gets in the way. :oops:

Second, do I charge it up first then put a battery in?

Or do I charge a battery in it while it is charing via. usb?

It didnt come with any clues on how to use it.


Yup PCC will not work with manual bats.

Charge PCC first

When you said that the batteries will not fit did you mean that you could screw them in to charge but they would not lay flat so you can close the case?

Yep, that is it exactly. No matter how I try to screw in the battery the button never faces up, it's either down or to the side so it won't fit into the groove.

Guess it would work if I leave the case open....meh.
