Batteries ????

[xoYOmamaox]

Well i am getting ready to order a kit from v4l cause my bloog batts are getting old and i have a question for ya. I have auto batts and like them very much but everyone likes manual batts why? i am thinking of ordering some manual ones but not sure.

Probably because manual batteries are sealed so are less likely to be ruined by juice. Also, I love my manuals because I have better control over airflow, meaning I can take it in nice and slowly for alot of vapor!

First 6 months I was vaping, I was all about the auto batteries. They are very convenient to use. However, I ordered a manual just to give it a try, and that's all I use anymore.

The manuals just give so much more control. Plus, when refilling carts, you don't have to worry so much about clogging up a manual since the switch doesn't get juiced up like an auto can.

Two main reasons: 1. You can press and hold the button to manually heat up the atomizer without having to suck on it to activate a switch, which translates into faster and more controlled vaping. 2. Manuals are sealed at the carto end so if you are a person who refills, there is virtually no way for juice to get inside the battery and cause problems observed with autos.

In addition, I like having complete control of the overall process.

MrHyde...I always wondered about this too...Do you hold the button in the whole time you are taking a drag? I want to try them but do you have to get anything new? I mean, chargers and other stuff along those lines.

 

[MrHyde]

Double D,

I press the button before bringing it to my lips, so its already a bit warm...giving me a nice hit from the start. And of course, I continue holding the button until my lungs are nice and full of that yummy vapor x3

Oh, and no...you don't have to get anything new other than the battery itself! Everything from your automatic kit will work with the manual batteries.

Im a big fan of XLmanuals,but those new auto gem batts are pretty sweet too.

If you are going to refill, you need at least 1 manual battery. I have been refilling for over a year now and only lost 1 battery in the first month to overfilling thanks to my manuals. Fill cartomizer, blot, then put it on a manual battery and take a few puffs. Once you have determined that it is hitting well, take it off and blot the bottom again then affix it to whatever auto you prefer.

Personally I only use manuals for refills as my fingers get enough button pressing at work. I have a friend that prefers them though.

I have been vaping all of only 2 weeks, but have refilled from the start with autos...no problem and no ruined batteries? I am careful and use the Taryn spin, but I really like the autos right now.....

I prefer autos, and the V4L diamond series are great.

 

[wader2k]

It's all personal preference really. At first a lot of folks are tied into the cigarette replacement paradigm and want something that replicates that look and feel. The Auto most closely does that.

 

[xoYOmamaox]

thanks everyone still not sure wish v4l kit would come with one of each

 

[wader2k]

If you request one of each style in the Comment field of your order we will do our best to fill it according to your wishes!

I recommend autos for beginners. This is because they are very similar to a cigarette and many beginners forget to push the button. I like autos because of there ease of use and tightness of draw. Some like the lighter draw of the manuals and the fact you can get more control. Ideally I think it is safe to say that having both is a great thing.

I know it seems petty but I'm conflicted because on the one hand I do like the notion of preheating the carto and no risk of ruining the batt due to seepage; on the other hand the switch detracts from the appearance of the rig itself. That grey lump is just sitting there on my otherwise elegant wand of magic nicotine goodness. I mean I go to all the trouble of peeling the labels off my cartos and buffing them to a chromeish finish and sanding down the goofy bumpy plastic simulated cigarette-ash end-cap just to end up with my eyes an inch or so away from that little off color nub? I think not sir.

 

[MrHyde]

To each their own logrus. You'll enjoy your autos while I'll enjoy my manuals =^-^=

 

[Mmc]

I was 100 percent manual and loved it until the diamond batteries came out, now I'm hooked on auto. I am not great at filling, so do usually test out my refilled cartos on my manual to be safe

 

[phishtraveler]

everyone needs multiple autos and manual batteries. its a scientific fact!

 

[MrHyde]

I agree...I have a few of each. In fact, I still have (and sometimes use) my chrome XL auto that I got in the second order I received from V4L a year ago. Its still going strong and looks as beautiful as ever!
