Loud music will KILL your auto e-cigarette

[tony206]

One thing I have noticed is that under certain circumstances, loud music (especially bass) will cause the battery to turn on and stay on even past the 8 second mark.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It's a known concern, discussed here long ago. And it's true. Vibration does its dirty work.

Loud music killed my 306 atty.

Now I only take my manual batteries out with me, especially if I'm going to a bar with loud music or to see a band.

If I happen to have an auto battery on me and find myself in one of those situations unexpectedly, I make sure to unscrew it from the atty before putting it in my pocket.

I have some batteries my dog's barking even activates.

That is the way those batteries work--they have a small micophone switch in them. They are a very poor design and should not even be sold anymore---get the manuals if you can.

Yeah, I don't use mine like that anymore anyway. I only use manuals or a Prodigy, but I actually thought it was funny that the dog activated it. Also, some of them will activate by wind or even if you blow on them. That's really not a very good design.

my blu wouldn't turn on with loud music, but would if you blew on it

I couldn't figure out why two of my 510 attys went dead in 5 days with no warning at all until I happened to be useing my auto battery in my car one day with the system up and got a burnt taste looked down and saw that the battery was staying on. That was the last day I used my manual battery that came in the kit its manuals only for me now. It would also start on its own or stay on if I was outside on a windy day.

Eloc--same think happens all the time with auto passthoughs--they stick on and fry the atomizer right out. Best to go all manual if you can.

Yeah I now have 4 manual batteries and a manual passthrough will never buy another auto battery again and tell who asks me about my e-cig that if they buy a kit make sure it comes with manual batteries for this reason. Now I just need to slow down on how frequent I vape since I have killed two attys this week by getting them two hot I guess. I just like that great throat hit I get if I take slow long hits starting to think about getting either a Protege or a high volt mod unit.
