Man...Auto Batts suck!

[LowThudd]

I was in the "I love auto batts" group before I got my eGo. I hated the idea of having to push a button. Now, I have been using my eGo manual for a couple weeks and w/ my eGo temporarily OOC, I'm using my 510 again...and I hate it. Manual batteries give SO much more control and better vapor. I don't even know how I put up w/ auto batts in the begining. I posted this in the New Members forum because I thought it might help those who are on the fence between Manual and Auto.

A lot, including me, start off with them. Then we discover what you discovered.

Ditto. Fortunately I ordered my first 510 kit with 1 manual batt and 1 auto. Within the first few hours I determined never to buy another auto until and unless the technology improves.

Forgot to mention that Autos suck worse than suck when your on the road next to a big rig. The noise sets them off/

Take it and mod it---do the Nicostick first.
I do have some I haven't modded yet---keep them just in case I want something that looks more real---have yet to use them.

They are easy to kill by flooding your atty which I did quite often when I first started vaping.

Loud country music does it too .
My first 901 Auto sucked (pardon the pun). Gave it to a friend to try, she reported that loud country music set it off. Don't know if she was also around big rigs at the time, but ....

Some of you guys aren't using the right autos then. I use both auto and manual battery e-cigs...and I love them both equally. KR808d-1 and the GreenCig G400 are two that it appears no one has bothered to try here before writing off auto batts. I started off with autos that I wasn't happy with...but the technology has improved over the past year.

My 510 starter kit came with the motorola vacuum switch. It's great. No complaint's except for the fact that I can't find any spare batteries with the same tech...

I have an auto KR808d-1 and I love it.

Sold all my autos, hated them after trying manuals.

I guess I am in the Minority, I like Autos better than Manuals. I like them so much, I’m selling my Manual batteries to raise money for more juice.

BTW – If you hate your Auto’s that much, you can send them to me. I’ll give them a slow death by draining them over and over with a carto.

They both have their place. I think autos are great while driving or when you need 2 hands. I also think an auto p/t works pretty well too.

It's all good!

I use the KR808d-1 Vapor King automatics (manuals too) and I love my autos. They work great!

Moving this to General Discussion...

 

[PaulCincy]

Yes, in one word. A good example: bought an Ego kit with two manual batts in Feb 2010...In March I bought a 5 pack of auto batts....both from the same supplier...
Today, Aug 1, 2010,,,still have one of the manual batts going stronge....All 5 of my
auto batts are dead and gone...Shipped them away to other people on this forum to
"play around with"....I still have one 510 auto batt left,,,but never use it...So, for me,
auto batts don't live up to the benefits they are suppose to make on a person using
a PV...Of course, my opinion,,,,and Enjoy the Adventure...P.S. Hi Stu....

Well, here's another vote for the autos. I use both but in most situations I prefer the autos.

For long, lazy, vaping sessions, especially with a beer, a 510 auto with a carto or a 801 is the tool of choice for me. Just like smoking a cigar or a pipe.

Do all auto's get triggered by sound? I know my intellicig does because i saw the blue tip
light up at a live show.

Which auto's are sound induced, which ones are not?

What about the new V4L vapor kings?

 

[bones25]

I have 7 auto shortys, 1 auto regular and 2 auto XL all from V4L, 2 reg manual and 5 XL manuals all from V4L, a spark plug and a Chuck....all used with cartos only.

I use the auto batts EVERY day and the manuals about once a week when I am driving or out of the house. I haven't had them go off with noise...they do have about an 8 sec cutoff if they did go off though.
