I do the same thing as Shawn, but I sometimes tend to "powerhaul" it 4 a lot longer.
I sometimes hit the timeout and the LED blinks. I wait a few seconds and do it again. I try to always have several batts charged and ready. I'll hit off one of my VX2's 2-3 times them put it down and grab another one to hit 2 or 3 times. That keeps the attys from overheating. If I'm really wanting a fix, I just pick up my epipe. Even though my DSE601 has a weakened atty, it's STILL a boatload more vapor by comparison.
