New cut off times on mini bats?!

[popeye79]

I'm not sure if this is a new change or not, but I noticed that both of my 2 new black mini bats have a cut off time around 7-8 seconds.

I don't normally draw for that long, but I wanted to see when they would cut out.

It varies. I have one battery with a 5-second cutoff, one that's 7-8 seconds, and one that's 6 seconds.

Wouldn't it be easier to say 5-8 seconds then?

No, because then I'd get "how do you know"?

Whats 3 seconds between friends?

My two new black ones are 8 seconds roughly, my old white/silver/blue ones are 5-6 seconds

One other new thing? Just got a couple of new mini black batteries today and the end cap is different. Originals were that bumpy fake cig end, new ones are flat with concentric circles

I changed the ashcap for two reasons.

For one, as someone mentioned, it makes it look less like an analog, which I've always supported.

But the bigger reason was that while a traditional ashcap curves right from the join with the tube, scattering the light mostly forward, the "target" cap extends straight for a milimeter or two, scattering more light to the sides. Meaning that the "target" cap has an edge which lights up and is much more easily visible to the user than the traditional ashcap. I hate it when I can't see the LED.

This was on another thread some time ago. But, it answers your question... straight from the horses mouth.
