how's the draw? the older models had a very "airy" draw to it.

I also prefer a firm draw and the new shorties ROCK!

If you have one of the older ones, you can tighten the draw by doing 2 things.

1. Break off a round wooden toothpick in one of the little airholes beneath the threads. Seat it real good with your thumbnail or something.

2. Seal off one of the 2 "vents" in the ash cap. You can try it with your finger to see if it works. If so, just block it off with something. If you are VERY careful, you can grab the ash cap with a pair of pliers and twist it off. That will give you all the access you need to fill the vent with something.

Hmm so the new shorty one, get better air draw than the standard one ? dang but only 180 mah, i guess i have to get a pcc w/ it .

The new shorty IS the standard one. The "old" shorties were a trial thing from a different manufacturer.

I have an assortment of all of the new 1-logo batteries (except standard length manual) and don't see any difference between any of them other than battery life.

Well, and the obvious weight & length & color thing.

Just so you know I'm not blowing smoke (no pun intended):

I don't have that many now. I gave a bunch to my son, daughter & her fiancee.
