Auto batteries have a hole in the center of the battery for airflow. That's how the auto switch gets activated when you take a draw.
Manual batteries(ones with a button) are activated by the button so there is no need for the airflow hole. It's sealed so juice can't get in the battery internals.
They both work, some autos better than others but if you don't mind the button I'd recommend manual that way you don't have to worry about liquid leaking into the battery.
If you do choose auto just be careful, don't overfill, make sure the excess is blown out and wipe the connections off before screwing it together. You should be ok with it then.

that was my only worry was the button going off in pocket.
so are the PCC cases really worth the extra money do they charge as good as just plugging into USB and charging?
and if I opt not to get a PCC would a one of those fancy looking silver/chrome metal type analog case work just for carrying the ecig stuff around?
the PCC case from easy cig .com looks kinda big , it does not give dims on the site. I wanted to know if its huge in a jean pocket
I already carry a mobile phone in a pocket.

Most people here use and recommend manuals.
Many manuals are sealed better and even those that still have a hole there would need more juice in them to damage the battery. Auto batteries have their necessary little physical drag switch right inside that hole - gunk that up or short it and the battery is ruined.
510 manuals are totally sealed metal on the threaded end. Modern KR808D-1 manuals from Vapor4Life should have the hole blocked off and the ones from SmokelessImage seem to have the hole covered but have a very tiny button. Those are the two most popular and well-supported slim mini models.
Manuals generally make it easier to get a good hit - you can depress the button a couple of seconds before you start dragging is there is already vapor made when you start your drag. Manuals also will not accidentally get turned on by wind or vibration.
Also, drip tips, a handy way to test new juices, are not recommended to be used on auto batteries. And I actually think cartomizers, one of the most popular ways to vape, are slightly more likely to drip occasionally right over where the hole of an auto battery is.
(note - KR808D-1 is a 2-piece but you can use a DSE901 standard resistance atomizer and 901 drip tip on it)

I prefer auto batt on analog size PV; I like hands free.
Some devices like CE2 don't leak so no problem.
If experienced w/ direct dripping the juice won't leak into batt.
I direct dripped w/ 510 and M401 auto batts w/o issue.
I did ruin RN4081 auto batt after a few weeks of incorrect direct dripping.

Manuals all the way! All the best mods and PV's are manual. Might as well get used to it. And it's one less probably malfunction.
Auto is hand's free (pretty much) and manual isn't. I like the button 'cuz I think the hit is stronger but I started with manuals because I wanted it to be like an analog.
My only experience with auto batts was a frustrating one. My auto batt was really sensitive. A slight breeze would set it off and I felt like I didnt have control over the battery at all. The manual batt gives you precise control and I liked that much better. my 2 cents.
If you look around, you can find a button cover for the manual batteries that clips around it and keeps it from accidentally going off in your pocket. The eGo-T and other higher-end batteries have a 5-click activate/deactivate feature that lets you disable the battery when not in use.
When I started I had auto batts and I was in college, the noise from the halls was enough to set off the batts so by the end of class all my batts would be dead. So I switched to manuals and fixed the problem, now that I've moved on to mods I was already used to the manual switch.
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.

I really like my auto batteries.
They're much better than the days of old, as long as you buy from one of the better brands (bloog, v4l, volt).
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.
That said, I am a little more careful when filling cartos for one, which means more time spent doing that, and that's a definite negative.

If you're going to use automatic batteries, make sure to get good ones.
That used to be nearly impossible, but they are making some better ones nowadays that don't totally suck.
I keep hearing that the Bloog MaxxFusion and the Volt batteries are very good.
I haven't tried them myself though.

Totally agree, I tried some auto 510s when I started last year. Totally sucked, primer puffs needed and they activated with practically any amount of noise or vibration, very frustrating.
Recently got the Volt Kit and it was a world of difference. I can't get the auto to misfire no matter how hard I try and it activates as soon as I start to draw, no primer puff needed. I actually prefer it over the manual one I got in the kit just for how easy and consistent it is.
Whether it last as long remains to be seen and I'm more careful with filling, blowing out excess and drying threads when I use it but so far all I can say is they have come a long way.
I had that exact same problem with the autos sometimes too. I only get manuals now since they leak less and don't waste battery life by going off while not vaping.
