loud music killing batteries?

[Flitzanu]

ok, just caught something in another thread about loud music or loud noise will set off the auto switches on m401/evo cigs? that or constant air blowing over the holes on the atomizers?

that seems a bit...counterproductive...if i'm taking my ecig in a bar or club with music, if the music is just going to keep activating the cig.

any input anyone?

The pressure switch will not move unless that vibration was-way-way-way up, but I guess it is plausable. As for air blowing, being outside with the wind blowing, that will for sure fire off the battery pressure switch blowing thought the LED side. Cup the led in your hand and you should have no issues with the wind--Sun

sun...you're always on top of posts! haha.

so, then, sitting in a typical, loud bar shouldn't affect it much then...most likely? it would make sense being in a loud concert filled with heart pounding bass, so i guess that was more the question...if it was noise volume, or bass depth and vibration.

i guess i'll just find out! i'm figuing my Pilot Hybrid will show up tomorrow or friday, so i'll have the weekend to try it out

i'm crossing my fingers my atomizers don't burn up in like one day. hah!

Flitz--Give us a heads up on how you make out with your new Pilot once it arrives and have a great time vapin at the Concert--Rock On---Sun

Sorry, I have to disagree. I bought 2 puresmoker m401 sets to take on vacation with me (4 batteries total). The resort had a "disco" for nightlife, mostly dance type music with a fairly crappy sound system. I'll try to describe the noise level... it was loud, but you could still hear someone talking next to you. Not someone talking a couple seats away. Bass was thumpy, but not "shake your lungs" thumpy.

It thought the damn things were busted. I couldn't get a drag off them... so I changed to the second set of batteries (total 4). Nope, a puff here and there, then nothing.

Then I noticed a couple blue lights on the batteries I wasn't using. I watched all four for a while. They'd turn on, and on, and on, and all of them eventually went into the "2 minute timeout" mode. Without the atomizer attached, sitting in the box. So there ya go. If you take 'em dancing, leave the atomizers OFF so they don't burn out, go outside, and wait a bit to have a smoke. That's where the rest of the smokers are anyway, LOL

 

[RjG]

P.S. I'm not sure if I was clear about this - they batteries turning on by themselves didn't go dead or anything, as long as they aren't attached to atomizers at the time.
And everything DID work just fine once you go outside.

Entirely possible sitting somewhere a bit out of the direct path of the sound might be fine too.

And it was definitely vibration, since there was no air flow whatsoever with the batteries sitting in the little carry case.

RJG--Sorry you ran into that--pressure switch must be ultra sensitive in the 401, I can not even replicate it with the 901/RN4071/or the DSE 801 or the Jazz Disposable--but I can see it happening as the switch is just a wheel conection that does not need that much to fire. A manual like Janty makes is the key Model for the Disco then--Maybe Janty should advertise that LOL---Thanks for the Report--Sun

 

[RjG]

LOL, yes, I was extremely surprised to see that as well.

I still had my trusty e-cigar though. It worked just fine.
The big red light kept attracting the security to throw me out ! Blue lights are so much better in non-smoking places

the 401 doesnt use a convential pressure switch. It has a Electronic MIC as the switch. It is a microphone, hence the batteries draining in a night club!!

 

[Trumpybloke]

From personal experience I can add thoroughly DO NOT have your e-cig in your pocket while drumming LOL!!
I run a Alesis DM-5 studio kit with a 300W P.A. set up and the other day felt like a bit of a bash at the skins... forgot I had my 901 in my pants pocket ... about 20 mins in I thought "crikey my thighs a bit warm???" turns out the atomiser was diligently trying to escape by burning my pants !!!

I always knew I was "hot" on the skins but this confirmed it

 

[jimgman]

i put my 401 in front of my car speaker to test this. granted its not 100 watts per channel, but i had to turn it up all the way to set it off. i guess i could see it going off in a loud nightclub though.

 

[Flitzanu]

well...all things in line, hopefully i get my kit today or tomorrow and can test this weekend and let you know! thanks for all the input.

My husband can not take his pilot to work, he drives an 18 wheeler-it turns on constantly...So it is useless to him....Also I have seen mine turn on in 2 different vehicles, with NO music on. I have to take a 901 with me when going somewhere so I don't burn out my Pilot.

 

[SannerSays]

I have noticed that I have to roll the windows up in my truck in order vape my 401. If the windows are down, the wind in the truck sets them off. They stay "lit" until abruptly shutting off. Then I have to put it away for a few minutes until I can use it again. They seem to be ultra sensitive!

 

[Flitzanu]

ok i will say....i've heard info that it does not have a microphone...but is just ultrasensitive. i'll be testing that on saturday

The M401 (Like the Janty Dura, 510, and other M series Ecigs) Uses an Electric Switch. This is not like the old pneumatic/mechanical type switches. A 901 batt will never turn on unless inhaled upon ... however, each draw pulls more power when compared to an electric switch. Pound for pound, pneaumatic switches are a thing of the past, and electric switches are the future. They do have their kinks, but every *new* ecig model should start to be using these. I know Sailebao was working on some electric/high discharge batteries for the 801, and I actually have a few here. However, the switch for the 801's has yet to be perfected (as well as 510/dura) So far, the most consistent Electric Switch to date I have seen or personally used is that of the M Series ...

I can pick up a huge bundle of M401 batteries, and as soon as I pick them up, all 50 lights turn on at the same time! Quite a sight I must say haha

EDIT: O, and for the record.

- RN Series use pneumatic (brick/mortar) switches
- DSE Series use pneumatic (brick/mortar) switches [unless requested on the 801]
- JOYE Series I believe use pneumatic for most models minus the 510/Dura. Not sure on the minifogger.
- KR's ... I'm assuming pneumatic
- M series ... All use electronic switches

thanks for the heads up steve! it really is great to see a strong seller so active in the community.

 

[fuzzyvape]

crap.... i just hooked up a 750 watt kicker amp and a 950 watt sub in my car =( i love my loud music

 

[Terraphon]

Just chiming in.

Yes, the 401 batteries can't tell the difference between positive pressure / negative pressure / sound pressure, etc...

The switches in them are SUPER sensitive and WILL be triggered by music in clubs, wind whipping through a car with the window down and loud car stereos.

They can also be triggered by tapping, shaking, moving, yelling, breathing, blinking and farting.

They work like a beast though, don't they?

Terraphon--Glad you posted here--are you finding this to be an issue that is managable or is this something that you would consider a concern-- never knowing when the batteries are going to fire up (heating up atomizer, lose of battery life, etc.) Is this something that that we can just dismiss as unremarkable?--Thanks for your input on this issue--Sun
