okay expertsoecho.... I know you talked about "glitzy" stealth echos before. I think I just received one. It is the first sealed 650 echo auto I've had, and glad I just ordered one single. Anyway I have to draw hard, many times, to get it started then it works. Put in down and I have to start all over again. Is this part of a bad batch or is there a secret resolve? I've tried raising the post on a few cartos and the battery itself. Any secrets would be appreciated.

The switch is intermittently 'numb' and a bit unresponsive on mine from time to time. I'm convinced this is the issue. As such you end up sucking really hard and getting little vapor. Things will be super 'airy' sounding as you do this.

If your air pinholes on the side of the battery are clogged, you'll get an entirely different experience. You'll feel like you're sucking milkshake through a tiny straw, literally the opposite of the above.

I posted on this earlier. It seems fixed by 1) re charging 2) tightening up the air flow quite a bit one way or another

Where did you purchase your stealth from?

yes, the airholes appear to be clear, ran a pin through to be certain.

edit:
just tried taking off the standard whistle tip and put on an 801 wide mouth drip tip and it works a bit better, but not great like my other batts. Your airhole comment helped.

I have a 1300 stealth (long story) and use the "iTurbo" clearos with it. Have you tried blowing gently through the carto mouthpiece to be sure there is no liquid trapped in the airtube? Also a sewing needle pushed gently through the air tube will clear any bubbles that may have formed. And last but not least try backing the carto off the battery just a smidge to allow for a little more air intake. HTH

All the stealths, whether they are hangsen or Smokeless image or any other "imposter". (LOL! should I toss out the word clone like some folks do for any high mah battery that's not an ego?) have the same issue with the pinhole. I carry mine in a pouch now so I don't get pocket dust in there.
I'm waiting for mine to develop the hard draw again so I can try your post hole adjustment.

Because I want to know who is creating an unregulated stealth (which I like) with a ten second cut off (which I like) with faulty circuitry (which I don't like) so we can encourage them to get new switches :)

Got it! :headbang: However, for me I don't care for stealths, I would rather have regulated, there's no way I can drag on an ecig for 10 seconds straight and I know nothing about circuitry (I like it that way) :laugh: Seriously she's always talkling about her special connections. As an example check out the engraved Echos now for sale and also the post about the "military Echos" that are being made especially for her.

Thanks for all your replys about this stealth. I got this one from nwvapors...a black 650. It is not related to my echo cartomizers that work on every other echo battery I have. Not the pinholes and not the led hole, all clear and brand new.
It's fully charged too. Just a bad battery I think and or the breaks of the newer stealth. I guess I'll contact the seller. I don't like to fiddle this much, especially since I've been spoiled with good Echo batteries that work right out of the mail box. Thanks again.

Where's Mowhawx? More racoons here now than my compost box at night. Let us know what you think, what your using- stealths, dccs, single coils, etc.

Had an hour or so to spare today. Spent time gutting and cleaning about 5 echomizers. These ones were several months old, stuck in a baggie since before I knew how to take them apart. They were a little sticky to say the least. Good as new, now. Now I just have to wait until the silicone dries.

Found out I was doing it the wrong way. I was trying to speed up the curing time with a hair dryer but found out from a contractor that silicone uses moisture in the air to cure.
