i am using the titan 510 manual battery. i love the manual batteries but i am very dissapointed with the atomizers that come with this ecig. even a good one only gives a good smoke for 5 days or so. after that its either burnt or has no taste. i find you get a good smoke for about three days. doesnt matter if the atomizers from totally wicked are cheaper....they dont last. as a matter of fact i have yet to find one from any brand that does. if this is the problem than id say its more expensive than smoking real cigs. when your atomizer clogs or just doesnt smoke very well i find myself wasting alot of fluid trying to figure out the problem...another expense thats adding up. i realize this is new technology but their must be something out there that gives a great smoke for a longer period. i have been doing very well not smoking. after a year of on and off again ecig analog smoking i have been smoke free for 6 weeks without one drag off an analog, but it would be cheaper to just go to the store and spend a few bucks on a pack of smokes than it is to buy another $100 worth of ecig pieces and juice. also where do you get a coupon code? what do i have to do to get a coupon code......ive spent barrels of money at totaly wicked and am wondering if i have to promise my first born child to get a coupon code. anyways..i bought 10 atoimizers on june 14th..received them june 18th...and i only have 1 unused atomizer and 1 that i am using at the moment. the others clogged in a day, one only gave me one puff and then didnt work at all, one was so clogged from the factory that when i took my first drag it was as though i sucked on a straw that someone had plugged from the otherside, and the others lasted maybe two days. nothing works..not canned air ,not boiling, not a flippn thing. i have not talked to totaly wicked yet but will after i post this comment/question. so hope somebody knows.....is there another upgrade in tech that puts the titan to shame...and where else can i purchase a manual battery. also im not interested in any of those batterys that fluid can leak into the battery itself. sorry guys but very frustrated. thanks for any help.

The 510 atomizers is one of the better ones out there for vapor and draw. It's the 510 battery that isn't the best - not the longest lasting per charge. You could try another model... since you already have the 510 I'd recommend the Tornado/eGo, but I'm going to say that ecigarettes aren't for everybody, and if I were you, and had the same experience that you have had so far, I wouldn't sink any more money into it than you have already.

I can't really understand what you're saying as it doesn't make any sense - this is not the experience of any user I have heard of. It seems that maybe ecigs are not for you, as you have to be going about it in the wrong way somehow.

You've got three options:

1. Give up, it's not for you.
2. Buy some kit from a couple of other suppliers, if it's an improvement then you know what to do; if it's the same then maybe get the message: this isn't for you.
3. If you are really committed to finding an answer, go to a local vapers meet. There won't be anyone there who has the same experience as you. They'll be able to tell you what you're doing wrong.

#3 is the best option of all since it will fix your issue. Some people are better off with a mentor initially and it may be that's what you need. Some activities or skills are best learnt with the help of a mentor, it makes the process so much easier.

Just for a comparison I've been using some TW 510 atties for 3 months and never cleaned or blown a single one, with continual daily use, and using heavy liquids with user-added flavors. Mind you that's at 5 volts and with short pulls, it seems that atties love that combination. But you probably need to sort out your standard ecig issues first, you have to be doing something wrong, or the liquid you're using is faulty in some way.

Your experience is not typical.

Since it seems to be focused primarily on the atomizers, I would try atomizers from a different source (less expensive than TW), e.g., Rocky Mountain Vapor ($8 plus free shipping if you buy at least two).

Keep them constantly moist by ignoring the cartridge and dripping 3 drops of e-liquid every time the flavor or vapor falters.

You've not mentioned the e-liquid you are using. Try different ones to see which you like best. I happen to like regular old DeKang e-liquid, although many prefer the thicker USA-made. If you like tobacco flavors (as I do), I recommend Marlboro/USA Mix, DK-TAB, 555, Flue Cured, Cuban Cigar, and Hilton, all of which are carried in various sizes and strengths by RMV for example (although there are scores of other excellent e-liquid suppliers).

However, everyone's taste is different, so you need to do some experimenting.

As for those manual batteries you asked about, you can get them anywhere (or close to it). Take a look at some of the 510 suppliers I mentioned in my comparative review.
