Auto or Manual?

[Mo JJC]

If I am working w/both hands- auto, otherwise I prefer the manual. But I seem to be using the auto more since my hands are usually full.

i like the manual for if im watching a movie or something and vaping. otherwise i want an auto. i hate holding my hand to my face while walking for 3-4 seconds while taking a drag. it feels horribly unnatural to me.

so.. my 510 is manual (basically vape session vape) and a 306 for every day use/while im on the computer/driving/etc auto batt.

I went with all manual batteries. To me the 510 is too heavy to hold in my mouth anyway.

I wouldn't mind having a lighter model that was automatic though. I just don't think they make any light enough for that.

I settled in with a Bartleby mod. Frickin awesome!

Okay those of you who prefer manuals, do you also prefer manuals with other models? I'm thinking of getting an auto for mine. I have another e-cig that has an auto battery and I love it. It feels more like smoking a real cig to me, gives me some resistance to work with.

All my home made mods are manual and I prefer them, but there are times when the autos are easier.
The trouble with auto's is they are inconsistant. The manual are usually right on all the time.

Just a thought.

thanks kevin...didnt think of that. it could have very well been the problem. i have ctips for cleaning etc. but i dont do the cleaning very much at all. maybe once a month at best.

This is exactly what I have found, some cut out after 3 sec some nead to be sucked like a poltice occasionaly you get a sweet one (that will die after a month) however, the EVO autos are quite good actualy much more reliable than the 510s

I find that there is barely a taste of the liquids with the manual battery (although lots of vapor), but with the auto batteries the taste of the liquid is very noticeable

I use a manual 510 and wouldnt try an auto for that type. For the m40x series my auto batt has a 8 sec cut off and there's little difference between that and a manual, but YMMV. You can also tell fairly easy if the atty needs a good cleaning using an auto. The tougher the draw gets this usually means it needs to be blown out or rinsed depending on how bad it is.
