Automatic Battery Discharge From Music

[Blackbird]

Hey folks, new guy here.

My wife and I have been vaping for about 6 weeks now. We bought 901 types with automatic batteries for the convenient size and no hands operation.

I am a musician and have found that since the automatic batteries are turned on by a change in pressure, the batteries will be turned on and heat the atty when I am playing. Also if the batteries are disconnected from the attys they will still discharge over a period of time just from lighting the LED.

I have found the best thing to do is to disconnect the battery from the atty and store the PVs in a container away from the stage area.

These are great forums with lots of people willing to share info. Thanks for your help in making our decisions to kick cigarettes.

This is a big problem with the older type auto batts. They are also activated by wind and sometimes by vibration. That, and the fact that you should drip with auto batts, is why I don't and probably will never use them.

Welcome to ECF. You are correct on the activation with high sound situations (heavy bass). I would suggest manual but since you are playing you most likely don't have a free hand to hit the button. You could however carry both types and use the manual batts inbetween songs.

I use a V4L KR808 automatic battery and it sits beside my computer while I type, and I spend at least eight hours really hitting the keyboard (I go through two a year) or on my coffee table which sits in front of my stereo speakers, and I have yet to have it a misfire. Even my 510 autos, which I didn't care for at all, have never fired on their own. Is this something that is inherent to knock offs or have I just had the very best luck in the world with my batteries?

Deepends on the switch. Some are more senstive than others. I have had 510 go off from sound, wind and shock. They do not fire for long but LOUD music can make them fire often. I myself do not use auto batts anymore since I like the control of manual and mainly drip. The auto was nice when starting out since it more closely mimics the action of smoking.

I play bass and R&R/Blues so I'm always in a heavy bass situation. I was also a mechanical engineer in a past life and read up on the probs with both types of switches and we decided the autos would be better for us in most situations. We also decided that carts we could fill ourselves would be more convenient and that long term, properly maintained attys would be less expensive. The Diet Coke soak and hot water rinse seems to work well.

So far we've outfitted with plenty of spare batteries, attys, chargers and carts/liquid for the price of 4 weeks of cigs. I figure we will average about 40 cents a day for costs, which is great! I've done the short poly filler mod for the carts and we are really pleased with the results.

Liv2Ski...I plan on getting some manual batteries with the next order I place just to use at gigs and such. At my "real" job and other situations I'll probably stick with autos.

Again, kudos to this board for supplying so much good info.

Man it's always the bass that gives you that kick in the chest and let's you really feel the music. No wonder the switch is activating! You will most likely enjoy the manual batts and it is always nice to have choices in your gear box. Happy Holidays and keep that bass thumping

It's the bass and bass drum that makes people want to move. The vast majority never notice the bass until it's not there and then only have a feeling that something is wrong. Shortly after I started playing (a long time ago) I noticed I could change the way people move while dancing by changing the way I play and emphasize different parts. Been having fun with it ever since. I hope to be playing as long as I can cast a shadow.

Merry Christmas and Happy You Near

I have the same problem with my NJOY NPRO.
I just ordered a manual eGo kit to get away from that problem.
