I was wondering what the difference (besides the obvious) between auto and manual batteries are. I just got my X2 manual and now think I should have gone with the auto. Any thoughts?
Auto v. Manual

If you put a T3 on it I think you will really like the performance. I prefer manual because it is less effort. You don't have to pull on it to turn the switch on with a manual. Nanos can be a problem with the manuals but the other clearos work great with them.
I started with autos, and liked them.
After about a month, I gave a manual a shot. At first, I forgot to push the button a lot... Now, I really like it.
Even sealed, I think an auto has a higher chance of damage from leaks. The manuals have better control of the vape, and I prefer them. I ended up giving all my autos away, but it is nice to have a choice.
At the end of the day, use whatever works best for you.... I suggest you try both at least once.

I'm leaning toward manual for all of my bigger batteries, X2 and beyond, but nothing beats the convenience of a 78mm auto for hands free operation. I still use them very heavily during the day while I'm busy, but the manuals rule while chilling on the couch. I've never lost an auto battery to a leak, but thena again I've never had a bad leak.
I use both daily, I use my auto when I'm doing stuff out driving whatever, but I like the cape a little better from the manual so when I'm in the mood to drip, chilling having beers or hanging on the couch or whatever I bust out the manual. But the auto is more convenient most of the time.
I think you really have to try both for yourself to know which one you prefer. They do hit a little differently. Everyone you ask will have their preference, but that doesn't mean it'll work the same way for you. I listened to everybody when I first started out and ordered autos, but I turned out to be a manual girl. SI has a really good 30-day money-back guarantee (they still have that, right?) if it doesn't work out for you, so if they do still have that, I would say just try one and see.
This is how I roll. Auto for small batts and manual for big batts.
Manual all the way. I have one small auto...never could get used to the puff puff method.
I have a 68 and 78 mm auto and just purchased a spinner, which I think only is manual?
Anyway, I can agree with the above posts that say that it's less effort with a manual. I've noticed not feeling like I'm sucking through a tiny straw with the manual. Although I can say that autos have their uses and I'm definitely keeping mine for hands-free operation whenever I'm in the need.

same here, but I got 2 xtra 78 manuals just for a warmer carto hit when I feel the need.
Auto vs. Manual, like everything with vaping, is very subjective.
I can't do manuals. I tried, for several months, and still smoked while using them. manuals just don't give me the satisfaction that I derive from an auto. With a manual, beyond the act of pressing a button (which I never liked), there is nearly no lung function. I would constantly hit the cutoff on my manuals because I wasn't exercising my lungs like I would smoking, or with a good auto. With my autos, I almost never hit the cutoff. I've given or traded away all of my manuals and now I'm full auto.
The Volt autos are very good, but since they are "sealed" they have a noticeably stiffer draw. I have both "sealed" and regulated batteries, and unsealed and unregulated batteries. With my "sealed" batteries, I puff on them much like one would with a cigar or a pipe; 2-3 short puffs and then one long, slow draw. Volt autos, especially the X2's, are perfect for this. With the unsealed batteries, I draw on them exactly like a cigarette; fast and hard puffs, usually very short. With the "sealed" batteries, this will quickly kill your lungs; with the unsealed, this is the perfect way to get your "smoke break".
Manuals have their place, and their fans, but it is a very different experience from an auto. For myself at least. Dipping and dripping on my super mini auto is the only thing in 6+ moths to keep me completely away from cigarettes.
For reference, I'm in my early 30's and despite smoking for 15 years I never had any major health or breathing problems related to smoking. I imagine if your lungs have been severely weakened from smoking, a manual is the better option. If not, then you may require that lung hit that an auto can give and a manual can't.
