510 manual batteries dying?

[Manete]

Hi everybody!

I'm new to this forum and -just like anybody new to the forum- I'm not allowed to start a new thread.
I've been googling for a long while without success in finding a simple answer to a simple question...

What's the difference between a manual battery and automatic battery? I see there's a switch or a button in manual batteries, but, what's the purpose of it? and, what are the advantages? (there must be an advantadge for that they're more expensive...)

I'm buying my 501 kit and will get a couple of spare batteries, so I need to know what I'm buying, because right now I just can't make a decission...manual or automatic batts..?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers,

The 'manual' has a switch built-in which will give you 'less' of a true analog experience BUT more 'control' over the 'digital' experience ie. MORE Vape for the buck (or pound). The auto-battery offers no control. These batteries should be priced about the same. I have the 'manual' and love it. Tried auto-switching batteries on a different unit and I personally prefer a SWITCH. Why not try one of each and make your own decission?

Hi!
Thanks for your answer!
2 more questions:

1- With manual batts, then I guess I won't have to draw so hard in order to activate the battery, is that right? (I just press the button and start drawing as soft as in an analogue cig).
We (me & my wife) have already some 401 e-cigs with automatic batteries and we sometimes find it's a pain to draw because you need to draw very hard in order to activate the battery (although there's plenty of juice in the cart).

2- Do manual batteries can still be activated by just drawing? or do I always need to press the button? (as I'm typing this, I'm vaping...but can I have my hands busy and vape from an e-cig with a manual battery?).

Again, thank you for your help.

Manete,

With a manual battery there is no current to the atomizer until the button is held down. I find there is no difference in the "draw" with either type of battery.

Thanks for your answer Anonomo.
Perhaps for atomizer cleaning purposes, the manual battery is better, for that you can activate it and burn all the dirt. Am I wrong about this statement?

Manete, I have the 510 auto and manual batts, and I also have an M402. I love the manual. I do find the draw to be easier with the 510 manual battery compared to the 510 auto battery. I heat it for just a second before I draw on it.

And with either the 510 auto or manual batt, the draw is 100 times better than on my 402. I can't really switch between the 510 and 402 because the draw is so different on them and I get used to drawing hard on the 402, then draw that hard on the 510 by mistake and end up with a mouthful!

I also think the taste is way better on the 510 manual battery than the auto.

At first I thought the manual batt would be a PITA because you do have to activate the button, but it isn't and now my auto batt sits collecting dust.

Vegatron75, I'm wondering if your battery was starting the self-cleaning cycle. Since you bought it used, it could be nearing that 2000 puff mark or whatever it is. I haven't experienced it yet (and live in fear of it ), but I've read the LED blinks some weird pattern when it's about to start.
