kissbox automatic vs manual switch - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

I've got my KB Classic one month ago and started to use the automatic switch which I've found great.
Trying to use the manual switch I was disappointed: low vapor and burn taste.
Today, I've decided to give another chance to the manual switch so I dipped 3 drops on the atomizer and 6 drops into a half cartridge.
With the automatic I have great amount of vapor and easy to aspire. With the manual switch and the same atomizer less vapor, burn taste (again) and a great effort to aspire (the manual switch is closed - you have only the 2 holes of the atomizer to get the air in).
In this case I wonder why may users prefer the manual switch. Can anybody tell me what I'm missing here?
Thx

I was in the same boat you are in. I couldn't get the manual switch to work properly. After 2 weeks of using it I was ready to give up on it. All of a sudden it started working great. Not sure if it was me being a noobie or something with the switch wasn't working right. I haven't used the auto switch since.

thx smokingclam for sharing your experience. Could you explain why you prefer it to the automatic switch?

Papi you are right. I have never used my auto switch. I have not been using my kissbox for a while ,because of burnt tire taste. I put my auto switch on and burnth taste gone . Thank you for this tip.

I get a better hit from the manual switch cause it stays on longer. I also had the burnt tire taste at first with the switch. Not sure if the atomizer needed brreaking in or what. It justed started to work one day.

The Manual Switch is The Bomb if You Want Real Smoke!!! You Might Have to Get Use to using It, Also Remember Its Going To Use More Juice If Your Cranking It Up!

If Your Getting A Burn't taste with The Manual or Auto Switch Your Ran Out or Low oN Juice, Keep it Topped Off. (if it was not broken in yet, 1st few uses may be burnt taste, you should always put 2 drops on any new atomizers before firing it up)..

Once you get use the manual switch you won't wanna go back!

Keep It Topped Off & Practice!

VAPE ON!

Thank you all and really glad for you rejoice.
@Cellmeister: more tests yesterday. The first draws are good and the I have the burn taste. So yes it takes much more juice(double)/10 draws let say. And I have to draw very hard to eliminate the burn taste. From the point of view of comfort it doesn't compare to automatic switch but anyway, I'll continue testing.

Tests update:
I found that hit throat is stronger with manual switch.
Keep testing

Once you get used to using it you won't go back to the auto switch. Took me a while to get the hang of it I think. Only time I use the auto now is to see if the battery is going dead.
