auto vs manual battery. pros and cons?

[paulw2014]

Anyone know how auto batteries work? Does the suction force somehow turn on the battery? I also tend to associate auto battery with the cigarette like devices that I've tried years ago which didn't do anything for me. They were unreliable.

I've been using the Ego Twist and although you have to press a button, it offered reliability.

So has auto batteries improved on the reliability department?

Are manual batteries going to be obsolete in the future?

thanks

From my recent experience, no they haven't improved. My last cig-a-like auto was starting to act a bit wonky, and stay stuck on.

Air flow routing would have to be integral with the battery, and there's just no standard for it, in anything bigger than a cig-a-like; IMO manual is here to stay.

as said above...autos are wonky at times...manual seems to be the best bet, not going away I believe

when I first started out, I was skeptical of manual batteries, thought it was a weird and unnatural way to 'smoke'.

after using a manual, I will never go back. they give you so much more control of your vape (not dependant upon the strength of your draw)

how could they become obsolete? I would never buy an auto. =)

I like manual batteries because it adds to the ritual of vaping.
Pushing the button then taking a vape.
Much like the lighter is to a cigarette.
