Just a little intro post. Put my new Vapor King (Kr808D-1 from V4L) through the ropes today. I really enjoy it. Battery life is excellent, throat hit is good (I'm coming off Menthols, so I'm not really accustomed to a rough TH), and the vapor is actually more than when I smoked analogs oddly enough.

There is one question I haven't been able to answer, however. I'm using regular Manual batteries from V4L with the V4L PCC. When I screw in the batteries, the button on the battery is always facing down towards the case. This prevents the battery from resting all the way in the PCC, and I believe the button is getting pressed when the case is closed. The charger won't activate if I unscrew it and reposition the button facing upwards, and I can't "overscrew" the battery to force it to face upwards.

Is this an issue I should be worried about? Does it affect battery life/charging if the button is pressed on a manual battery while it's charging?

Well, on to some "I'm a noob, this was my experience" type statements.

When I first started vaping the PV, the vapor was quite harsh. Most likely because I wasn't accustomed to it (it's fine now 8 hours later), but it grew on me. Reminds me of when I first started smoking analogs actually, haha. Right off the bat I notice that I'm not getting the "asthma" feeling after vaping for extended periods of time. My airways stay clear and breathing is easy.

I may be slightly biased on this next statement because I did quite a lot of research here on the forums about models, liquids, health, operation, and law regarding e-cigs, but I found it very easy to use. Even a manual which people say feels uncomfortable, I find to be very natural-feeling. Just goes to show you not everyone enjoys the same qualities in regards to e-cigs.

I won't go into excruciatingly boring detail about my experience, but suffice it to say that I'm very happy with this change. I actually quit analogs 4 days before my PV arrived, but I still haven't touched an analog and really don't have the urge to do so anymore.

kudos to your new found love of the pv. i have been using one for getting close to a year now and its my new addiction. i have gotten most of my co-workers interested it vaping as well. but before i get off on a tangent i will tell you the my experience with charging batteries while the button is depressed has not let to a short battery life for me but i get really irritated when i think i have a fully charged battery when i do not. i don't know if that will help you any but its the thought that counts right?

i've found that i greatly prefer a manual battery over the auto ones. i get annoyed when i have to use my auto batteries for long.

Hi, I am a new member, but have been lurking here for almost 10 months. I started vaping 7 months ago. When I started, I only bought auto batteries. They helped me to stop analogs altogether. When I decided to start refilling cartomizers, I bought a manual battery. If you overfill a cartomizer and the liquid gets into an auto battery, it can/will kill the battery. The manual batteries are sealed so that even an overfilled cartomizer cannot kill the battery. Auto batteries are not sealed as they rely on vacuum pressure to activate the switch.

I think the manual batteries are easier to use also because not all auto battery switches are created equal. lol Some of them are easy to activate and other ones you have to inhale so hard to activate that it feels like you are trying to inhale a boulder through a straw! lol

Thanks for all the replies =)

That's good to hear, I didn't think that it would affect it, beyond maybe just making it charge slower, but I'm not a professional in Electronic Engineering or Circuits. Figured I'd ask =)
