Good to hear. Opinions are like battery-holes, everybody has one. Some people seem to prefer tight holes, but personally I don't like my holes too tight - you have to suck harder and longer and also it can be a little noisy which upsets the neighbors. But having a good slot seems to go a long way towards improving the experience. Just remember, before sucking you should take off the condom and pull out the .... plug. Sometimes I even leave my top off and pull out the diaphragm, then I just drip. You know what I mean?


WOWZERS! This is some funny stuff! :D

Well, no matter what...I just can not use this battery:-( I have tried.
In addition, come to find out that fully charged it barely lasts. It only lasted from 1:51AM to 2:59AM! How long do the x-long batts usually last or are supposed to last? (I have mega 510 batteries, which, with an kr808 adapter, last a lot, lot longer!) So, I am now convinced I got a "dud" x-long battery :-(.

How and where do I contact V4L to let them know I will need a replacement.

I just started using an extra long automatic VL4 battery and it is awful even with new VL4 cartomizers. I am so disappointed!

The draw is like sucking on one of those little straws you see on a wd40 can!!!! I feel like a damn vampire sucking on a neck!

My other kr808 batts work just fine. The xtra long one does not have a notch in the top part (screw in part) and that is the problem. Unscrewing the cartz does not help.

Are all the xtra long batteries like this?

Am I doing something wrong?

They ROCK, so if ya cannot figure it out, we getcha a new one, you can choose from any battery we have:D

But, they cartainly are NOT TERRIBLE:grr:

Enjoy

I hope I did not offend you with my choice of words.

What I was saying was that with the extra long battery I happen to get, the draw is terrible! Now, I agree that that does not mean all of them are like that, just the one I got is definately not enjoyable.
I have been vaping since April 09 and have quite a few other model , including other 808 batteries. Compared to the other ones I have, this does seem to be especially hard to draw on. So it looks like mine was build on the first day after a Chinese holiday when everyone in the factory was still worn out, LOL. It happens.

We are evaluating slots versus no slots, bigger holes versus smaller holes, and all variations and combos. We want our next batch of batts to be the ultimate batts, and aren't taking anything off the table just yet.
Hey there, Leaford,

Is this, by any chance, the new purple XL manual you're using in your recent video from China? Looks sooo cool. Is this "the ultimate"? I think we should find a happy medium, as in medium size holes (slightly bigger than originals, maybe a bit smaller than on shorties, even though the auto shorties are great), a medium cut-off time (13 sec is an overkill, especially if it shortens the life of the battery--10 sec?)

I want that purple baby so bad....

Thank you all for the fantastic job you're all doing to help us off those horrible analogs.

I wonder what the other V4L family members think...

I only have one auto chrome shorty but it's fantastic. Tons of vapor, perfect draw, snap and crackle and whistle sounds, albeit very subtle and somehow soothing. Really feels like and analog, light and handy. Love at first sight. I'm waiting for the black to be back in stock. Highly recommended.
