A word of caution. NEVER drip with an automatic batt of any kind. You will ruin it in short order.
In fact, I see no reason to use an auto battery of any kind. Stick with the manual. You will be happier in the long run.

I have the eGo manual batteries but tend to take a puff forgetting to push the button in. That's why I was asking about the automatic batteries.
Pressing the button will become instinctive as more time passes. If you want to try an auto, I would advise just getting one. The problem with autos is they have a hole in them to allow for the airflow to activate the battery. If any juice at all from either overfilling or dripping gets in that hole, it will gum up the battery and cause it to fail.
Hi Katy. I have been using the ego automatics (650) from Cignot since February. I also have the manual style. Seem to always go back to the automatics. I've had a few in rotation and they have held up good. I've only lost one out of a golf cart. Anyway I think if your cartos don't leak and you don't direct drip into them you will be fine. Because of all the cautions I have always used a q-tip to keep the battery threads clean before charging too. There is a tiny hole that juice could potentially leak into but with the convienence of the autos I guess I'm willing to take that risk.
I'm not sure about which cartos you want to use, but I have been using the Echo-e cartomizers on mine since they came out in June. They don't leak except out the bottom after filling. I just wipe them down good at the bottom before attaching to the battery.
If you have an ego charger, I'd just give one battery a try to see if it suits you.
Thank you so much for your reassuring comments. Now I've ordered a couple of the auto ego batteries from Cignot. I already have the manual but when doing something tend to just take a puff forgetting to push the button. Also, often miss the button altogether. I have 808 auto batteries and do know how to carefully drip, never have gotten juice in the little hold in the middle.
Where do you get those Echo-e cartomizers from? I'd like to look into those.
Katy, Hope you like the Ego auto. I just looked at the ego mega cartos on vapebig website and they look very similar to the Echo-e cartomizers I use. They both taper down to the little rubber whistle tip mouthpiece and probably hold up to 3 mls of juice. I buy the Echo-E primarily from mtnvapor.com also cropduster901, D&Bgold, and nhaler. Just make sure it it the carto specified for the ego...thus the E designation.
They all sell the Echo automatic ego style batteries too. They have a different 901/kr808d connection and use the regular Echo cartomizers. Very similar experience to the Ego automatics only with a big light on the end and take longer to charge.

I use the echo 1300 auto battery and it works very good. I've been using them since May and I haven't had any problem with juice getting in them. The Echo carto doesn't leak at all if you are sure to remove the carto from the battery when refilling you shouldn't have any problems.
Ug... beware the auto batteries on any ecig model. I've tried a few and have wasted probably $1000 replacing batteries. I might be wrong, but i think the very nature of an auto battery causes failure. The auto battery is 'open' which means inevitably some juice gets in that little hole. That fries the batteries in short order. Then the only course is to replace the battery. I was frying thru about 3 batteries in 2 weeks before i finally stumbled on the ego with the manual battery (which if you peek into the top, you'll see is 'closed', which means no juice can get in and fry). You'll get used to the button, and save a ton of money. I should probably also be clear that i've NOT used the auto battery with the ego though. You may well have a different experience. I just had bad bad double bad experiences with auto batts on some other models.
