A couple questions before I make the leap

[milky]

Hello all, been lurking for a couple weeks now, and about to place an order for a VK (after trying other 2 different PVs). And now that I have some experience against which to compare various things, got a couple questions:

1) How sensitive are the VK auto batteries? I think I'd rather get manual for better throat hit, but honestly (and call me vain) I can't get over the manual batteries with the V4L logo all over them.

2) I would consider myself fairly technically and mechanically adept, but for whatever reason I can't seem to drip on the Sidesho without overfilling and getting a mouthful of that wonderful VG ejuice from American eliquid I plan to refill the VK cartos at least 1 or 2 times to save some money, but never having tried a cartomizer type model before, I'm worried that I might run into the same issue when refilling.

3) I've seen conflicting things about the PCC, so which is it? A smart PCC or a dumb one? i.e. will I have to make sure to unscrew the battery once it's done charging?

No matter what the answers are, I'm still sold on the VK. The active community here, the ease of use, not to mention all the stories about the customer service (and V4L's involvement here at ECF), got me thinking that this is the decision I should have made in the first place.

Thanks all...

I like the auto batts, I just give a primer puff then draw on it and it's fine. Just like when I smoked an analog, warm it up, then hit it!

Filling the carto's is easy, even if you overfill it, you just blow through it from the mouth end to clear it out.

The PCC is "smart", screw the battery on and let it "soak", no need to worry, once it's charged it will flash to let you know and if the batt drops voltage it will refresh the charge.

The product is awsome, but yes, the people make it even better!
Welcome!

BTW, they also have a very nice single-logo XL battery in either auto or manual (I really am digging the new 13-second cutoff models).

Hi milky and welcome!
Make sure you read Taryn's post about her re-filling trick.
You can get a single logo battery.

If you go extra long,2 will get you through the day,single logo chrome are nice!!I like the manuals,If you overfill it cant seep into the batt.

I use both the auto long and the auto regular with the 13 second cut-off. The XL has proven to be a little long for me, so I need several regular and a couple chargers. Next order...

Thanks to all for the replies. I just put in my order, looking forward to trying it out.
