preference between manual and automatic batteries?

[fumerfrancaise]

Hi again crystal. I think I might be the only one on the whole site who prefers automatic batteries? I'm more used to using the 510 manual one now but confess that I couldn't get into this at all for the first wk until I changed the way I held it (now hold it more from the end like someone holding a pipe? A man smoke I call it!). It's ok now but I can't wait for my automatic batteries to come for the 510.
My other e-cig is an Evo and apart from the initial breaking it in a bit - it's good to go and draw straight away from without having to take a primer puff.
Agree if you sometimes want a really long (I'm stressed out!) draw then the manual does do it for you but I can get the same relief from 2 or 3 successive draws on my automatic cig too.
So in answer to your original question - yes I have got used to using the 510 manual now but can't wait for the automatic battery to arrive because I'm far more comfortable vaping and holding an automatic e-ciggie.

good to know!

Auto batts are not sealed, manuals are. I'm so used to dripping on manuals and I simply wasn't paying attention and dripped on an auto and it killed it. Liquid gets into the auto switch and in this case the battery didn't turn off. Many posts on this phenomena with autos. And yeah, overfilling can result in the same.
