So I am personally a manual batt user and will never go back to the auto. The auto isnt dripping friendly and I have killed too many batts that way. The manual gives you more control over your draw without timing out on ya.

I agree.

But, what I would like to see is an automatic with a failsafe manual button. That way you could do either/or and if the auto pressure switch fails you can still use the battery on manual.
 
You can't park an manual between your lips and vape away. The V4L shorty batteries are the perfect solution for hands free vaping.

True, for hands free lazy vaping, you need an auto. But I hate those cheaply built auto pressure switches that fire when you don't want them to. I also hate it when I'm in a hurry, overfill a cart, then discover the auto battery won't fire because juice leaked into the battery air hole.

Manuals are a sure thing to avoid wasting any juice and premature firing (well, except for the ding-dongs that put them in their back pocket). But you have to watch what you buy, because some manufactures put auto battery connectors on manual batteries without closing the hole.

Hey, who are you calling lazy? I'm MULTI-TASKING :).

I've heard about people having issues with the pressure switches but haven't found it a problem with the 8 or 10 autos I've been through. And I completely understand the leaking concern with any atty other than the cartomizers. It barely takes an ounce of attention to prevent leakage with a carto - that is one of the reasons they are so popular.

Anyway, to each his own, I see that the manuals do indeed have a very strong lead in the poll. Just goes to show I have better taste than the average bear :).

Nah, that wouldn't be "better taste"... that would be "higher class". You belong with the cheerleaders. :cool:

The rest of us just enjoy proven technology with the old skool method. We're doing all the work in the game. :pervy:

See, Just 2 different teams... that's all. :thumb:

My first experience w/vaping was a manual mod, and a very bad experience. I then searched the forum and chose a Joye 306 - I was gun shy, didn't want to spend more money getting disappointed. I'm happy w/the 306 except the constant attn to keep it going (recharging batt and dipping). I also have no experience with cartomizers. Can I even use one w/the 306? Any suggestions for this NOOB? :confused:

Not sure my msg got thru, hope I'm not duplicating. After a bad experience (my first w/vaping) w/a mod, I now have a Joye 306 auto. I like it except for the constant attention it requires (recharging the batt and dipping). I haven't used a cart yet. Any suggestions for this Noob?

You would have to get an adapter in order to use a KR808 or GreenCig carto with your Joye 306 battery. The 306 is compatable with the 510 so any of the 510 to DSE910/KR808D-1 adapters should work. You may want to go ahead and get a KR808D-1 battery, however, since they have a much longer battery life than the 306. The 306's are small, light and easy to use handsfree, but their cartridges are small and the batteries need more frequent charging, whereas the KR808D-1's have a long battery life (5-6 hours), and the cartomizers last for hours and hours. With light to moderate vaping a carto can last all day.

Before opting for the KR808D-1, you may want to try one of the new 510 cartomizers like HealthCabin carries. Like I mentioned, a 306 and 510 are supposed to have compatable threads so the new 510 cartos should work on a 306. Here is the link to the one's HealthCabin has: 510 Soft Tip Cartomizer In 6 Flavors - $7.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail. I haven't looked stateside for these but would guess there are several US suppliers that have them also.

WAYYYYY prefer manuals, but I do have some autos and sometimes I'm just in the mood for them. My 510s are all manual and my 901s are auto. I did NOT have good luck with a 510 auto battery... too hard to activate consistently (idk if it was the brand or just that box of batteries, or what...) but the 901s are easier. Still prefer my manuals 99% of the time tho. :p
