I've been very, very frustrated lately because some days, it seems that I cannot get a decent hit to save my life. I said nothing about it because I figured it was my technique that was the problem --that I wasn't doing it consistently. I did notice that I wasn't having the problem when I used the passthrough. Today, I was having a great day with it. For 8 hours I was on the same battery and same carto with perfect hits each and every time. I thought "wow! I finally have this down!". Then, when I needed a fresh carto I also got a fresh, fully charged battery because I don't like to use a battery until it completely dies. I screw on the carto and take a few hits. Very little vapor, absolutely no throat hit. So, I keep that up for about another 3 minutes, and conclude that maybe the carto is bad. I use another fresh carto. Same problem. So, I switch to my third charged battery. Same problem. By this time I'm about to start screaming, so I put the carto on the battery I've been using all day. Perfect. But now I can't figure out why I'm having trouble with the other two batteries. Then I start to wonder about the battery cut-offs, so I test the first battery, the one I've been using all day with no problems. 5 seconds or so before it cuts off. The other two batteries? 2-3 seconds before they cut off. So, I can only conclude that this is the problem. Now, my question is is this normal? What is the cut-off time supposed to be?

I can rarely reach the cutoff on my autos, its like 7 or 8 seconds or so. On the manuals, I think its in the 4-5 second range.
Remeber though, on the manuals, everytime you press the button the timer starts again. If the cutoff is too short for you just give the button another push and keep drawing. Beleive me it works.

Let Steve know on your next order. This is not right. He will replace them.
I seldom reach the cut off on my manual, so I guess it's the right draw length for me. I did hear Steve will be getting in manuals with longer cut offs though which will make those who draw longer happy I bet. I do think that if the batter is cutting off at 2 or 3 seconds, there is something wrong. Does the button seem to work right? I had one that was difficult at first.
Aww, I see. well the only advice I can give is to practice. Doesnt take long to find a rythm to get a good long drag out of an auto. When I tried my manual Ide thought Ide never use the sutos again but in actuallity they work just as well.
Remember you have to unlearn how to smoke and learn how to vape.

I hate when that happens, please, make a note on next order, I will make sure you get 2 new ones
you can pick your color, as well as decide if you would like 1 auto, 1 manual, et, et.Wish I could guarantee them all perfect, but, at least I can guarantee to make it right, asap

Steve, you're the greatest, man! But, the reason I have 3 autos is because one of the two batteries I bought wasn't holding a charge long, so you sent me an extra one without asking me to send the other one back (which blew me away!) so I could have a backup. So, I'm pretty sure one of these short cut-off batts is the bad one you already replaced, so I will make a note for ONE battery only.
Oh, and I DO NOT blame you for this. You can't possibly know if one of your batteries isn't working until somebody tells you!!
