G6 Auto Batteries ...........

[francis_a]

So I'm contemplating on trying out the G6 line and interested with the Auto batts {I currently use a fully manual Apex Alpha Ultra}

Are these prone to accidental activation? It's been a while since I've tried auto batteries so the technology must have improved a lot.

Thanks!

I'm not familiar with the auto batteries since I prefer manual. I can say this much, though...the quality of the G6 batteries is very high. I normally don't care for the manual buttons on e-cigs, but the manual button on the G6 is awesome. I doubt there would be a problem with accidental activation with the G6 automatic batteries.

The autos are not prone to auto activation. They are (like any auto batteries) prone to issues/burn out if liquid gets inside the end of the battery near the threading.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Shannon and Johnny. Looks like I'd be sticking with manual.

I'm totally partial to auto batteries and these are the best I've had. The only autos I have that accidentally go off are the old atomizer types, ie: Blu and Volcano, mostly Blu though.

The G6 cartos seem to let you know when you're getting close to running dry better than others I have of similar makeup (V4L and Smokestik). Instead of a "uh oh, this tastes burnt" all of a sudden, I can detect a rapid decline in taste and vape production... without a burn taste. I haven't had a burner yet. As for when it's time for a new carto altogether, the only indication that they are weakening is that they stop producing as much vape on a well charged battery.

thanks patrickmurphy. i placed my order for auto/manual. I figure I'd probably need 2 more batteries as backup as I hate to wait for charging. i think the auto will work well for me when i'm driving, not that finding the button is hard, just 1 less thing to worry about.
