How long do these things last before the wires bust and the unit is useless?
Last person I knew, back in the pre-cambrian days who had one (during the advent of in boot warmers) got about a year's use out of them before they busted.
Can these be used with Intuition liners? I rarely have cold feet, but sometimes wouldn't mind a little warm up. I just wonder if they put off enough heat to change the mold/fit on Intuitions.
you don't feel that they compromise fit? I have very little room to spare in the toe box of my boots.

For me no. It's only my toes that get cold. Everyone is different, that's why I suggest trying a pair. I stick them on top of my sock, above my toes. You can position them a little further back if you have to, the heat will still make it up to the toes. For me, they are good for about 4-5 hours. They are much thinner than the hand warmers. For a couple bucks, it's a cheap test. Rip em out and throw them away if they don't work.
Do you guys know which ones Atomic integrates into their boots?
My gf has them integrated into her boots, and I'd like to get her the batteries, but I don't know which ones are the 'right' ones. Any ideas?

Take a pic of the connector at the end of the wire...I should be able to tell.
Re: wich are better.
My wife and I have Thermics. They seem to work well. The only thing I've noticed is on really really cold days, the batteries poop out a bit. A quick trip to the lodge usually helps though. This may be solved by getting the extenders and putting the batteries under your coat or somewhere warmer. I think these heaters would be much better if they could improve the battery technology a bit.
Duct tape a hand warmer on the battery :dunce:My wife and I have Thermics. They seem to work well. The only thing I've noticed is on really really cold days, the batteries poop out a bit.
