M401 manual batteries keep dieing! OMGWTF, what is going on here?

[steevz]

Okay, I've had my M602 for a couple months now. The batteries work perfectly as does my stock atty and the few extras I've purchased from Electronic-Cigz.com.

Now my wife's M401 manual batteries are a different story. She has gone through about 5 or 6 batteries, they just keep dieing it seems. It starts by the batteries going off by them self. The LED starts flickering on and off by itself and the atty gets very hot because the auto-turn off after 7 seconds doesn't kick in. I could see this happening to 1 or 2. But this is getting ridicules, especially seeing as I'm still on my first two. We both drip in case that has anything to do with it.

Someone, please help me out here. This is starting to get frustrating.

Thanks.

The m401 is an excellent atomizer. If you are having bad luck with the stock batteries for it, I would see if you are still within your suppliers warranty. If not, I would suggest a battery mod of some sort. The m401 vapes excellent on both of my mods (bartleby and a little chuck) at true 3.7v.

You should probably be able to purchase a thread adaptor from litecigusa that will connect the 401 attys to a 510 battery. Problem solved if you want to get some more use out of the stuff you already have. However, no doubt she'll be switching up to the ego/torn pretty soon thereafter at which point you can buy an adaptor to use your ego with the 510 stuff...and on and on and on...

I would recommend getting the cheap adaptor for the 401 and then switching to the ego/torn without going crazy on the 510 stuff. Everything you're saying about the 401 is what I think about the 510. Wished I had gone to the ego first.

Hope this helps.

Well, Sean at Electronic-cigz.com stands behind all of his products and will send replacements as soon as a product is malfuntioning, I'm just curious why they keep dieing.

I'd just switch to auto 401 batteries. The manual 401 batteries (all suppliers) have had switch problems since the beginning. I know of one supplier that stopped selling them because of this. I went through 2 of them within 2 weeks and switched back to auto. 401's are a great pv with auto batteries.
