Ordered my first manual KR808 battery and its on the way. I have only autos now and I usually just carry one loose in my pocket. Will I have an issue with the manual going off when I don't know it? Just curious how sensitive the button it and if I might have an issue hitting it without knowing?
Manual battery in pocket?

Most manual buttons are configured and designed so that it does take a small amount of pressure to activate. If this is similarly designed, you should have no problem. My 510 has never gone off in my pocket, but that's not an 808 so I can't be 100% sorry.
The manual batteries are very sensative and will go turn on when you least expect it. I forgot the other day that I had a 510 manual in my pocket, got into the car, and didn't make it a mile before the atty burned my leg. although 808's tend not to get as hot.
You can take the clip off of a tire gauge or a pen and use it to cover the button if you are really worried about it being turned on. I used to do that before I got a good case.
Thats a good idea. Would love to just clip to the inside of my pocket so its not loose but wasn't sure what to do. I'll have to go scrounge through my glove box for my tire gauge now
I've heard that the silverbullet button is very hard to push by accident in a pocket (according to their website anyway), and I'm sure there are other battery mods that make it hard to hit the button without meaning to also. Or what I do is just stick the battery into the pcc :shrug:

If you slide the clip from the LED end of the battery up to the button you won't scratch the paint putting the clip on.
My tornado went off in my pocket recently. It almost burned my leg and gave the atty a weird taste. I'm going to try to clean it and see if the taste goes away.
I use a PG/VG mix, direct drip on the atty and hit it without inhaling. It usually clears out the funky taste.
Thanks for the tip. I just dropped it in some cheap vodka. I'll dry it and if it still tastes weird, I'll do as you suggest.
I keep mine in my pocket,I just dont sit on it!and I do have a leaford lanyard for work.
It looks like you might be able to loosen up the lacing on it to make it fit a Tornado. I'm not 100% sure on that since I haven't actually tried it.
i was watching some tv in bed last night and my 901 manual had fallen beside me on the button, i didnt realize it til i picked it up and it burnt my fingers a bit. I quickly took the atty off the battery and let it sit for about 10 minutes before checking to see if it i had killed it. luckily it was fine but i have learned my lesson about manual batteries... you gotta keep your eye on them lol
I carry my manual 808 in my jeans pocket a lot. As far as I know it's gone off once. Since that one has a 5 sec cutoff i noticed it because i was trying to figure out why i was smelling peanut butter cups...
I have had no trouble with my 510 or eGo. I carry my eGo in my shirt pocket where I used to carry my cigarettes. In my car, it lays in a cup holder where my ash tray used to be. I also carry a Bartelby Mod as a backup without a problem.
When I started vaping, I tried two "Scewdrivers". Both started smoking laying on a flat surface. One actually melted the cartridge. The button was depressed and stayed depressed.

LOL, if it goes off in your pocket you'll know before any permenant damage is done. Not sure about the 808's but the 510's will surprise you every once in awhile. I heard the auto batteries go off sometimes from loud music but never has happened to me. And for an old man like me i still rock out quit a bit.
