I have some batterys that just come on when moved, no loud noises, no wind, just pick them up. Some switches are more sinative than others. I only take the ones that work correctly with me to the Casinos or my atomizers get burned up. I can sometimes get them to stop doing it, but its hard to explain. I wiggle somthing inside the battery untill it quits doing it with a unfolded paper clip.
You should try it first. I had no problems at all in a sports bar, with pool tables, Foosball, and 300 people shouting over the music. Only the "disco" bar caused great problems.
Unless they have dance music cranked at your job, rotfl ;-)

i haven't been out to a bar with it yet, but i've had it sitting on my desk while playing Half Life 2, and loudly.
also blared some music and held it to the speakers and it didn't set it off. i moved it down by my sub and nothing either.

It's definitely not noise in general, it's anything that applies the right amount of pressure to the switch. My battery was strobing to the drumbeat last night, maybe even the bass, but the place I was at has terrible acoustics and the band playing was this loud-as-hell surf band.
All I know is my EVO has been demoted to house duty only, my pen goes on the road. I think it will work out better that way, anyhow, considering cart size and need for topping off/maintenance.

Yep.
I can't use the evo with official evo batteries in my car. I have a battery that has a stiff switch, which I only use for dripping. That's the one I use when I'm on the road.
Once I get another e-cig, that'll be my car companion and I'll use the EVO when the bigger cig isn't convenient.

Who says I don't?
Also, not all subwoofer enclosures are ported
That's true, but there is a trade off with sealed subs - the cabs I built were for Bass Guitar rigs where size, or lack of it, was not vital.
Sealed enclosures usually have higher power handling and smoother response than ported cabs, but they do not have the low response capabilities of ported enclosures and require more power from amp and speaker. Sealed enclosures tend to roll off (lose output power) below 60hertz whereas a single port cab can highlight a certain frequency according to the volume of the port and the size of the cab. This gives the speaker and cab a wider range and covers down to 40hertz, even lower if required if you use 'high order' enclosures with multiple ports. My designs aimed for an even percieved response across as wide a frequency range as possible. If you're into cab design/building, grab a freeware program called WinISD from LinearTeam You can experiment with it to design cabs or check compatibility of drivers before you spend lots of money buying them. All you need are the Thiele Small parameters for the driver which should be available on the manufacturer's spec sheet.

i haven't left my house this weekend, hehe, but on a personal note i'm going to the movies later, so i'll take it with me in the car. i don't have a loud stereo, but i have a tiny, noisy Acura Integra. i'll try with the windows and the sunroof and see if i can activate my new Pilot batteries.
i'll have my EVO by monday, so i'll try with those too in a few days and see if i get the same results as the others with their EVO.

sweet! thanks, cant wait to hear your results as i am still deciding on a pilot vs a 901
Hello, Which battery do you have? The mighty atom or the Genie? Are they both just as sensitive? Do you know if the Genie is new and maybe less sensitive?And if the battery nukes the evo completely will intellicig give you a new one under a warranty?
Simple answer, get yourself an SD or something like it with a manual switch, then it will turn on when you want it to.
well, i was out in daylight and tried some loud music and windows down, but it's pretty cold out, and i couldn't see the LED very well, so i will need to make a more formal test when it's dark and not freezing outside...hehe. but...it didn't go off in my car just driving down the road, having the windows cracked to order food, etc. i think it will be more of an issue with simply adjusting your habits like has been suggested.
i mean, can you really even smoke an analog with both windows or the top down?
i will say, its nice that i dont have to worry about ashing, or trying to hold it in my lips while driving or something, since i can just set it in the seat.

cool! well thank you for doing your mini test. I think im pretty certain i am getting a 401 when they are back in stock.
and to answer your question yes i can smoke a regular cig with the top down but yes i do get ashes ALL over the place and always worry about my leather seats getting jacked up.
Wow, I had missed this thread. The first time I experienced the 2 minute cutoff on my Pilot was when I was driving my car and had not been using it for a while...
Just checked and one of my Pilot 401 batteries does the same thing, the other does not. Don't know about my 402 battery, it is charging.
I have both types of batteries and they are both just as sensitive.
I got them at the same time so it's not an age issue.
As for replacement if the battery nukes the atomizer...I have no idea but I'd think it's doubtful.
Gonna revive this because I remember some posts by venerable veteran Ned Zeppelin (where are you, buddy?). He told us some e-cigs were arriving at European destinations in a burned-out state. They had been airmailed to destinations as a single piece. Something turned on the battery, which turned on the atomizer, ergo, burned up.
Is it possible the cargo hole of a jet airplane is noisy enough to trigger an intact e-cig? If so, then all cigs should be transported in pieces, as most manufacturers seem to.
I know we have some pilots who vape. What would the environment be like in a package cargo hole (surely different from a hole where dogs or pets would be transported). Is it terribly noisy? Terribly cold (JC thought his liquid froze in flight)? Pressurized?
Maybe the next time someone visits an airport, they can stand behind a jet revving up and watch their e-cig for activation!

The cargo compartments are neither pressurized or heated, at least on passenger planes. I would imagine that a cargo plane has the same conditions as a cargo compartment on a passenger plane. Also before pressurized compartments pilots and crew needed to have oxygen over 10,000 feet, and very warm flight suits.
Had an idea that seemed to work!!! I took the "cartridge condom" (the rubber casing for the DSE901 carts) and put it over the LED light (on the 401). It does not seem to eliminate this problem completely.. but certainly helps it!
(makes the draw a little harder tho, u guys think this will blow out or overheat my atomizer?)

THAT is really weird.
It's true, blow on the PS M401 Pilot LED and it turns on.
It's weird because this particular model e-cig as NO AIR PASSAGE through the battery, it's sealed. How strange.
Anyway - no air passage means it's not a harder draw, that's your imagination, the air goes through the little holes where the atomizer threads on to the battery
It also means it can't wreck anything putting a rubber over the LED.
That's really strange, wish I could try that, I don't have a 901.
Hah! I figured out why my draw was harder... I restuffed my cart and I overstuffed it.. pulled some of the polyfil out and it works fine again
