    I don't know if any other batteries fit the 901 but I do know that the janty stick has an adapter to fit the 901 parts and the battery life is 4-5 hours from what I have heard. I am thinking about ordering one when they come out with a 510 adapter. Or I might not wait and go ahead and get one anyway. The battery life is 3-4 times longer than the 510.

    Hi metalrain.....

    Welcome to the forum :)

    This is a common problem with the 901, bad battery life, and unfortunately other batteries do not fit! I like many users started with a 901, then become frustrated by continuously charging and changing batteries! fortunately there is an answer!

    You can go for one of the battery mods! There are lots available, and they will give you up to a days vaping but easily 5 hours+ depending on usage, on one battery!

    They use rechargeable batterys, that are dirt cheap! around $6 for 2!

    Here are some of popular ones (there are lots of others but these are some of the more popular ones!)


    DIY Kits -

    The above is the cheapest option but is currently out of stock? Maybe worth asking about availability?


    - The ScrewDriver - An electronic cigarette that simply works


    Super T, Innovative manufacturer of Personal Vaporizer products. currently out of stock


    AdapteveR Home of the ORIGINAL USA built PV : Home currently out of stock




    Another option is the Janty stick with a 901 adaptor? while not quite as long battery life as the others will still be better than 901!

    there is a review here

    When I first started vaping, I looked at an e-cig as an entire component. You had a 901, which consisted of a 901 atomizer (and cartridge) and a 901 battery. Period.

    As I started to vape, though, I realized that they really were separate components. For example, you can use your 901 atomizer with a USB passthrough battery. The battery plugs into any available USB power source, whether it be your computer, your house electrical current (with a cheap wall outlet/usb adapter), your car cigarette lighter (with a cheap cigarette lighter/usb adapter), or even with a portable battery pack (like the Kensington).

    Once I got to that point, I realized that the 901 atomizer could be used with other types of batteries so long as the batteries were in a holder that worked with the 901 atomizer. So, for example, you can use a 901 atomizer with a Screwdriver, basically a device that uses non-ecigarette type batteries to give you a longer, more powerful vape. And, of course, there are many other such devices out on the market that use a 901 atomizer (either as its default atomizer or as a possibility with the purchase of an adapter)--the JantyStick, the GG, the Silver Bullet, etc.

    So if you like your 901 atomizer and the flavor it provides but you don't particularly enjoy the short battery life, it's time to start exploring the options. (The cheapest option is the usb passthrough battery.)
