I know the main benefit of a manual over an automatic is the noise issue (the automatic reacts to loud noises and kills the battery), but are there any other benefits?
Manual Battery vs Automatic?

Also, some autos require a bit of a modified inhaling technique. Not a biggie, but does take a bit of getting used to. Er... just wrote about this somewhere else... lemme go look so I don't have to type it again. *searches her old posts*
Okies here ya go:
"Are you using an auto or a manual switch PV? I was using mine like a regular cig at first & it wasn't really seeming to do much...
Then I saw an explanation of "primer puffs" on autos & that made a difference in effectiveness... I'm not sure exactly where I found it. Maybe someone else will remember where that info is."

But basically, if you're using an auto, it helps to take a tiny puff - not an actual inhale- this is just the... primer.
Anyway, take a tiny puff... that gets the atomizer warm. Then immediately afterward take your normal drag. It takes a bit of getting used to the double drag, but not long. Made a big difference for me when I learned that.
Hope that helps - RR

Hehe, we were typing at the same time. Oops! See above about the primer puff.
And liquid getting in the battery can fry it. At least I think that's the issue. Kinda new to this myself...

Hrm. Good question. I think part of it was to appeal to smokers by mimicking the smoking experience more closely. And also, you generally only have issues with possibly getting liquid in the battery if you are dipping or dripping directly on the atomizer. I'd assume that wasn't something the designers anticipated. If you're just using cartridges normally, it shouldn't be an issue unless you massively overfill them or something.

Personally, I prefer the auto batteries. I like hands-free vaping with flat-tip carts.
I've had both types and I definitely prefer the auto. I don't like having to hold my hand any particular way (in order to push a button) and to me the auto more closely replicates smoking. I just don't want to think about it. I vape a KR808d and the auto batteries rock - they don't come on unexpectedly.
Because people want something that's like a cigarette

Well, actually, I just ordered an automatic for my 510. I hope it will make vaping when riding my bicycle easier.
Having said that: I do wonder myself how long until I will have flooded it so often that it won't work any more

For the reasons stated above I like to have both battery types available. Manual for dripping or a serious vaping session and the auto's when I'm out and about driving etc. I find that different flavors on my 510 taste better on a hotter atty using a man. bat due to ease of momentary button push while a lot of my fruit flavors are fine on the auto with a light draw. The worst of auto's in my experience though not long is I seem to get more liquid in my mouth due to having to activate the battery. Of course this is my fault for lightly overfilling.
Primer puffs are a thing of 2008. I've not heard of any models needing a primer puff since the first few months that i joined the forum. All new and decent models for the past year should already be rid of this need.
I use the M401/ M402/ M602 manual batts and they have been excellent. I find myself liking them more than the auto batts with each use. However, every now and then, i still get lazy and prefer to just take a puff without pushing any buttons.
This is where i get mine:

On my model I need a man. batt. The auto bat doesn't get the atty hot enough to produce a good hit. with the auto bat I have to suck really hard. On the man. batt you have the ability to do a dry burn which in my opionon makes the atty last longer and will give a hit with more vapor if it is lacking. This is important because the atties on my unit average 3.5-4 days
