I have been using the 901 for some time now with manual batteries and USB pass through. 901 is GREAT.
I then bought an 801 to try out. Was disappointed by it compared to the 901 (still good PV though) to passed it on.
Last week I was given an M201 to try out. It blew me away. Completely.
I go flying RC Helis every Sunday and one battery lasted me from lunch time until 17H30 and was still going strong with no sign of running down.

This M201 has a throat hit like no other. I am even perfectly satisfied on medium level juices now.

This evening I was charging up my batteries so used the 901 on passthrough exclusively most of the night. 20 minutes ago I picked up my M201 and gave it a hit and nearly choked the hit was so hard (pulled like I do on the 901). And using exactly the same Virginia juice in both the 201 and 901.

Honestly, I don't know if I can continue to use the 901. And a pitty. I have 4 USB Passthroughs for it, 11 batteries, 8 atty's and a pile of blank carts (I like having stock of spares :) ). But after the M201, the 901 is just not the same anymore.

Just my 2c :)

Like the thread title says, it my dream ecigs. With USB Passthroughs (only M401/2/3) these days, they perform even better.

I placed my order with AEC during the holidays and it was shipped yesterday when everyone was still on holiday. Their customer service deserves another mention here for sure.

Anyone heard of the new PCC model from Smoore, which is code named the M702?

I have, comes with smart PCC. Looks nice. Have to find out if carts are refillable. Looks like it only comes with automatic battery but PCC looks like it would be worth the investment if it actually works like it says.

It says that this pack holds a charge that will charge your batteries without being plugged into anything, like a battery powered battery charger. Pretty slick.

Nikko, can you tell me how sensitive the batteries are? I prefer the 901 style battery which doesnt go off from loud noise or wind. My m4xx series always burns the hell out of my leg in the car and even sometimes at work which isn't a very loud office.... If it werent for the overly sensitive batteries in the m4xx, it would be my only e-cig, however the 901 battery cant be beat at the moment. Some of the m4 batts seem more sensitive than others, however they turn on in the car.

Am using the M-401 my first Ecig it has not let me down yet. But all am wondering it what's all the hype about 501 ? I mean almost half the post on the entire forums has a word about 501 is it better? Then again since my little M401 has not given me problems am looking at the M402 which is just the same E-Cig with a different design, Guess i'll order the 502 just curious on what the hype is all about.. But am getting good vapor so am still confused

Well, I would say they are somewhere between the Blu, which will go off if you whisper next to it, and the 901, which you pretty much have to inhale on it to activate it.... so, it's a little sensitive, but not THAT bad.

OK, I just compared it with a 401; I held them right next to each other and started blowing softly toward the LEDs... as I increased the velocity of breath, they both lit up simultaneously. I repeated the test several times with the same results, so it's about the same as a 401.... :rolleyes:

Even in the manual, they suggest unscrewing just a bit to break contact between the battery and atomizer to avoid accidental burning.

WillMill, I haven't seen the super-mini ecig yet that is as insensitive as a 901 :(
If you think your 401 is bad, you should try out a Blu or 8084.....
They're both REALLY sensitive to wind or music, especially bassy music.

That's strange i try blowing on mines w/o making a cone around it with my hands and it doesn't light up also i did turn up some music and nothing happended cept when i cranked the bass it just blinked and that's it..Only way it did light up was taking my hand and making a cone then blowing into it.. I use this method btw to dry burn my atty when it start to taste bad.. But even tho like Nikko said it is advise to un-screw it a bit. I been doing so since i got mines.

They have came out with manual m401's. I'm loving mine.
You could grab one of those and take it out to the office instead of the auto.
 
Thanks everyone for the replies. I plan on picking up some manuals, however I like the auto mainly because it is like a real cig. I have 401, 402 and 403s. The only difference is the batteries size. I have a couple of each, total my wife and I own about 20 e-cigs of a few different models and 4 different mods. I normally do unscrew them in the car, but because the m4xx and m201 use a mic style switch, my batteries die very quickly in the car without being used due to the sensitivity if the radio is turned a quarter of a notch up, or a window is down. All of my M4xx and m201 are very sensitive, I guess I would never even consider a Blu or the 8084 then if they are really worse. I will try to take a video with my camera to show how sensitive they all are. I really wish they would come out with a super-mini with a 901 battery style. Once again, thanks everyone for the replies and thanks Nikko for the video. I really do enjoy my m4xx's, but that is the only downside.

Wench, how's the battery life on the manual 401 compared to the autos?
How's the draw? The vapor production about the same???

Inquiring minds need to know! (At least this one does :rolleyes:) :lol:

I picked up a silver auto to go with my dragon.
Both manual and auto are only a week old so perhaps it's new battery awesomeness going on also lol
Honestly they seem about the same (auto seems to last a hair longer but not by alot)but the manual has the obvious advantage of not coming on till you push the button.

I like both but the manual dragon goes out and about while my silver one stays home where I don't have to worry about it going off and draining the batt.

Oh almost forgot to add.. the manual's aren't sealed, they still have the open hole in the battery for air flow so you still have to be careful if you drip.

My solution to this was that I got a couple of batteries of these really cheap Health E-cigarettes and use those batteries in the car. They have a suction switch.:cool:
