OK, the Joye 510 Battery Sucks... But I Love it!

Yea, I got the mod with the 200 amp-hour deep-discharge marine trolling-motor battery for those moderate vaping sessions but I really like the lowly 510. I actually enjoy the "battery change-out" ritual. I like the light show and Mr. Blinky telling me it's over. If it lasts an hour, it's a banner day.

Is this normal?

Well,,,
When you smoked analogs, you had to empty ash trays, keep track of lighters, cartons, and packs. If you used refillable lighters, you also had to keep track of lighter fluid and flints. The end of the analog lit up and lasted a definite length of time.

How many years did you smoke analogs? It's not suprising you enjoy the added complications of the 510. Personally I would be willing to put up with batteries that lasted 10 minutes before needing recharged.

I think a lot of us forget that we had to "recharge" our analogs after just 10 minutes of use.

And don't forget we had to drip(light) them before each use too.

All excellent points! But I really do like the 510 over my big battery models. Just really dig the size and shape. Particularly with a Super T Shorty contour drip-tip.

Is it normal to like to change batteries and mess with stuff? I don't think so, but who cares as long as it works for you?

lol. My mom smoked for 60 years, switched to vaping, uses eGos, drips, and STILL likes to have some automatic 510 style batteries around... just for nastalga? Go MOM! (and don't worry about it n2xe). The thing with the 510's is they don't have a long lifespan either. Too many recharges necessary and it's the recharging that wears them out.....

Doesn't bother me one bit. People say that filling up carts/cartos looks like a pain, switching out batteries, keeping track of gear, etc. Considering part of my ongoing smoking/vaping habit is "busy hand syndrome" all the fiddling with stuff is part of the game. I *like* dripping in the car while steering with my knee! Filling up cartos at the end of the day in front of my computer is a new ritual. I need all this to keep my hands busy!
