So i love my kr808 auto batteries but i recently purchased a manual and i was curious... should i push the button and start the battery and THEN inhale, or push the button AS i inhale?

I push the button just before and let off a second or two before i stop inhaling. It preheats the coil for a better hit and helps cool it off quicker to avoid over heating.
+3 hit the button maybe 1/2 second then inhale..and let off the button 1 or 2 seconds before finishing draw... It becomes automatic quickly.
Basically up to you. Overall the fact that you have a choice is one of the beauties of the manuals.
Hi kerrdj, How do you like the manual compared to the auto? I have a kr808 auto and have been wondering if I should get a manual too.
I would say it would be worth trying. I mainly vape at my desk at work and the manual seems to have a harder th and A LOT more vapor so i am just going to use it at home. I had finally stopped chain vaping because it wasnt new anymore... then i got a new toy lol
I really enjoy it so far. I am looking forward to comparing battery life too but i havent used it enough yet.

My first batt was an auto and after I got my manual eGo bats it has been collecting dust. I like the control of the manual battery. I tend to press the button for 1-2 seconds, take my draw and release the button a moment before i finish my draw. It really does become second nature pretty quickly.
I like both. I use the autos when I'm too lazy to push the button...LOL. When I got my first manual, I had to email my vendor and ask how to use it 
Seriously, I hit the button as I put the carto in my mouth and let up when I'm done inhaling.

For the least effort you shift your press and release a bit earlier in time than your drag.
press and hold (to start it making vapor)
about 1/2 to 1 second later start dragging
continue to drag and about 1-2 seconds before you are done dragging
let up the button
and continue dragging out whatever vapor remains in the mouthpiece
That way you are dragging when the vapor is best
Typically you drag e-cigs a bit slower than cigarettes (you don't want to out-pace your atty because then you would get more air in your vapor). And you drag into your mouth then inhale. And let your nose smell some of the vapor because smell is a huge part of flavor. SOmetimes I let some waft out of my mouth so my nose catches it on the inhale.

I think dormouse has it right. That's the way I use the manual batt, although everyone has their own way of doing things.
Enjoying my kr8 very much and after using a manual batt, would never go back to an auto.
Also, if I want an extra long drag, I'll release the button for a second right before I think it's going to reach the cut-off, and press again for another 4 or 5 second drag before I inhale.
