Manual battery better than automatic? Really?

[danielwd]

I ordered an automatic battery on accident for my JOYE 510. I love it way more than my manuals. Hands free vaping! I still haven't had the cut-off than everyone talks about.

I am surprised I like it so much seeing as how so many people on here are negative about them.

 

[franklyspeaking]

The biggest problem with auto batts is the switch, especially on the 510 which is prone to leak. Most of the auto batts stick in the on position after a few weeks. To combat this try storing them overnight upside down (atty connection down). This will help drain any fluid that may have leaked into the switch hole. One other thing to keep in mind is when the 510 was originally released the hole in the battery was much larger and allowed A LOT more liquid to leak into the battery.

If you accidentally overfill the cart and it gets into the batt, it'll die Can't do that with manual batts

I had 1 automatic battery and 4 manuals when I started and then I got 2 more manuals later and I just used the manuals more than the automatic and just got used to it so now even when I use the automatic I'll go to press the button and it won't be there haha and it has a cutoff after 4-5 seconds which I don't like whereas my manuals even with a cutoff can be bypassed simply by letting go of the button for half a second and pressing it again.

I think that I prefer the manual battery. After a few month of use, my autos' switches are starting to go. One is super-sensitive and triggers with a slight breeze, or just being set down. The other is under-sensitive and won't trigger with a regular drag.

The hands-free option is nice, but not to stick with auto batts.

Manuals are way better. The dealbreaker for me is the auto sensitivity to sound and vibrations. Makes them totally impractical imo. (I used M401 autos, not 510.)

Plus they seem to work better.

halloween night i took my 801 auto batts, 5 pre-filled carts, 1 801 atty... even with the hundreds of thousands of watts at that "massive" "rave" the batteries weren't firing on their own... which i had read about before the party and watched them to see if it were happening.... never cought them going off by itself.

mind you i own a protege. and love it. auto bats are good for... oh wait if they might get taken by security gaurds and tossed. lol.

Alot of us 510 users are drippers and the 510 manual battery will not be affected by any ejuice getting into the battery. Though after you have mastered the art of dripping then you are rarely going to screw up your auto battery.

Ya, I took one of my auto 510 batts to the Skinny Puppy show on Saturday, and I didn't have much trouble with it going off unintentionally, even when I was dancing. The only time I noticed was when the crowd was cheering like mad at one point.

The only real trouble I've had with my auto has been at school on a windy day. It just was not working out for me at all.

I don't mind the autos, but I pretty much stick with the manual batteries because I have a tendency to overfill my carts. Dead batteries =

I prefer the auto batteries. I think I just have not forced myself to use the manuals enough. I just can't seem to get comfortable pushing the button. I like hands free vaping. So, it's not so much a performance issue, it's more that age old adage ... you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

I should clarify that I only have experience with M401 autos. They went off in my car from the sub and about 10 feet away from my unmiked drumset.

manuals won't roll off the table when you set it down either

 

[Funyun]

im still debating

not all manuals have this grace... some have the bottom button with smooth sides...

personally i prefer a manual PV that can be adapter to differant attys... i switch about them all the time.

It may just be in my head but I seem to get a bigger hit/more flavor with my manual battery. Maybe it's because it's newer. I don't know.

I just can't seem to get comfortable pushing the button. I like hands free vaping.

I don't hand free vape, didn't either with cigarettes actually. Regardless, at first button pressing didn't feel natural to me either. But i've found that by positioning the button underside the ecig, it is right where the thumb naturally is.

Thus i don't actually press the button, rather i just slightly tighten my grip on the ecig with the 2 or 3 fingers on the upside. Feels 100% natural and effortless. Being opposible, the thumb doesn't move either so you're free to move your fingers, and the material of the button makes the thumb stick to the ecig even better than the body would ! only upsides !

From my experience 510 autos are more sensative than 401s

Changing my vote: auto batteries suck. I just got a 901 with auto batteries and they are driving me nuts. The cut off time is way too short and you have to pull pretty hard to get the damn thing to turn on.

I have both man and auto.
I prefer the auto batt.
I direct drip 2 drops, take about 8 to 13 puffs, repeat.
I don't have any issues with flooding batts.
I purchased 18 auto batts over a years time.
4 auto batts wore out after a few months.
Went thru a spell where I only had my DIY passthru.
1 auto batt was DOA.
3 auto batts have a hard to suck switch.
The remaining 10 batts work like a dream.
My 2 auto passthrus works like a dream also.

Same here.
My 510 auto batts work real nice.
I prefer the M401 due to its smaller size and tailpipe capability but it does require more draw.
