Dripping auto vs manual

[Griff]

Disclaimer: I am aware of the potential issues of dripping on an auto batt.

I have two SI Volt sealed Auto batteries, and two SI Volt Manuals.

Have been dripping juices for a little over a week now with a 901 atty. I dont seem to get as much vapor / hit on the manual batts as I do the autos. The autos just seem to perform so much better with the atty & dripping.

So what I have been doing is priming the atty on the manuals to get the process started. Then once the flavor is established I switch over to the autos, to get the nice hit and vapor.

Just an observation from a noob. I am watching to make sure it doesn't flood. If it happens the atty comes right off and gets blown out. Just curioius if others have noticed a performance difference between the manuals and sealed autos from SI.

Never used a gen 2 batt with a 901 atty Griff sir. Will check it out later on today and see if there's a difference. Know I've had more issues using gen 1 cartos with the gen 2 manuals than the autos....

Thanks alot Morandir.

I put a 901 on a Bloog battery once. Nothing to write home about imo. But to be fair, any atty that I have now had been sitting around for over a year. That could play a factor.

It's weird that you get a better hit with an auto with an atty on it. It seems like it would be the other way around...hmm Neat info...

I find even with cartos my autos preform better then my manuals, at least among the Gen-2 type.

No problem Griff sir. Same issue, the atty didn't work nearly as well on the manual as it did the auto. Adjusting the post fixed it though. Same thing I had to do with gen 1 cartos on them. Hope this helps.

Can you explain adjusting the post? You mean on the batt or the atty? I'm using a Litecigusa 901 atty. I dont see anything obvious on either that can be adjusted....

Thanks for your time.
