manual or auto battery ...what is better??

[Morandir835]

Puffpuff2k (sir or Ms.?) all depends on the person and their preference. Try both, and then decide which you like best...

juice can kill autos easier than manuals, but manuals are not 100% protected against juice either. If some leaks into the button, you can render the battery just as useless as an auto who's switch is clogged with juice...

...I've also been vaping a while, and am not too worried about one getting juice in it, as I've filled many a carto before, I have spares, I have other devices, and a $14 battery wouldn't be the biggest loss ever. .......

I sure don't want to have to spend $14+ on a 200- 300 mAh battery with a 200 recharge life when I can get a 900 mAh battery with a 2000 recharge life for $4.

As others have said, autos for hands-free. Sometimes I like to vape when mowing, working with tools, doing things where my hands are pretty gunked up, so an 808 auto is what I use then. Other than that I use a manual mod.

None of my auto batteries have had random firing occurrences. Some of the anti-auto folks probably haven't used recent auto batteries.

You have to be right from my perspective. If all autos were as sensitive as the one I had I can't imagine anyone liking them unless they lived in vacuum! I use mods now so its a non issue for me anyway.

At the end it comes down to there is no single one-size-fits-all. I really like my manual notcigs Infinity VV mod for all day, every day, use, EXCEPT when I need hands-free, PV-in-the-mouth, where auto is where it's at.

(I remember a thread from 8 or 9 months ago, the person was a mechanic, really needed a fairly compact auto for use while he was stuck under a vehicle and needed both hands, people were trying to tell the guy he was "wrong", that he needed a manual -- it was a hoot to read This thread hasn't been anything like that one -- people are playing nice, providing good reasons for why they like one vs. the other.)

I confim Auto is better and stronger.

I might have to snag a cheap auto battery someplace just to say I have tried one. I drip, so I doubt it is a feasible thing for me. But I would love to try it just once.

Don't be overly afraid of dripping with an auto battery, just be aware.
I dripped quite a bit with my automatic RN4081 (NJoy NPro) a long time ago with no issues.

You just need to know what you're doing.

I use a manual Volt from smokeless image. it has a sealed battery and the button is too teeny that it's nearly impossible to set it off in your pocket. I also use the Maxxfusion from bloog in an auto battery and have never flooded a carto enough to short out the batt. i don't find the draw to be any different on either model.

That's why I buy my paper towels in bulk from Sam's Club.

I prefer manual, but there are times when I wish I had auto...like when I'm going to the bathroom.

Also, one of these days I'm going to end up with an ecig in the toilet or a urinal. I don't want that to happen. But I just know it's only a matter of time!

In comparison to sucking on a straw, that is probably true, lol.

Had some poor experiences with some autos in the past, namely the SKYcig (BLU) they are terrible for auto activation from the slightest of things. I can't tell you how many times (normally when all my Titan bats or egos where charging) I'd go to the PCC and pull out an assembled ecig only to find it's leaked an entire pre filled cart all over itself. If it will do that in the very PCC designed to hold them, it'll defo do it in just your pocket etc. Sure I could be extra careful and make sure I never carry around a pre-assembled one, though it does somewhat beg the question: "why is there a slot for one on the PCC in the first place then? "

Auto batteries also, in my experience seem to require more regular charging and have a nasty habit of failing much quicker then manuals. Manual all the way for me now, unless I'm absolutely left without a choice.

You won't be the first, and you won't be the last.

I use Bloog 808ds and it depends:

1) IF you blow gently out the excess you almost never ruin an auto--it's not a problem at all. The autos are for a cig experience--you can chain them, smoke them, hands free them.
2) The manuals are about vaping--you take a long, nice hit and put it down. I use it on my high nic nightly "treat" for a big hit. But it's not like smoking per se--it's vaping. But you can drip safely with them. If you want to hit it here and there then a manual--if you want to drink beer at a party and chat like a cig get an auto.

I concur but whats does "put it down" mean

I'm still waiting for my first kit to arrive, but vaping on the toilet in my non-smoking apartment was one of the first things that occurred to me and got me really excited about ecigs. That, and (potentially...) vaping inside a restaurant as an intermission during a huge buffet session.

I started with some tiny 3pc auto 2 years ago, fired at the slightest disturbance. Moved a few weeks later to an auto 510, same problem. Went back to analogs for 2 years, then sprung for a manual 510. Went to a riva/ego, then an infinity. But continued to smoke analogs. Just got an 808 auto a little while ago. The batt isn't sensitive at all, and it's helped me more than anything to quit because of how similar it is to an analog. I never had to push a button on an analog, so it felt unnatural to me. (though I still love the crap out of my infinity vv for getting me through the tougher nighttime cravings.) in the end, to each their own, It does take a certain degree of shopping around til you find your niche. Don't be afraid to try things and not like them, there's a bazillion people on the classifieds that would be happy to buy the things that didn't work out for you. Good luck in your vaping journey!

I believe there is a great future for auto batts.
Problem is the design and QC is hit or miss now.
Similar technology is used reliably in automobiles.
