Generally, autos have a hole in the middle of the connection pin. Excluding the sealed auto VOLT batts but, even they have two tiny holes on the side of the pin. So, they're not drip proof. Which means if a drop of juice or something were to enter the hole/s in the battery. Then it will kill it which will render it useless obviously.
Which is the #1 reason why people recommend manual batts over autos. Hope that helps.

auto batts are convenient, no button just puff on it, BUT you cannot get juice into the connection or it could wreck the battery, manual batteries on the other hand are sealed and a juice leakage or overflow will not (should not) hurt the battery. I see from the other thread that you bought a Volt kit, did you get the manual or autos?
Manual all the way. Automatic intuitively sounds great, bu they die so fast. You will at some point leak fluid into the battery, and kill an automatic.
no, i think it's about the same usage. i'm not sure if it's true now but it seems auto batteries before were notorious for turning on by themselves. I've never used one so I'm just going off of what I've read before.
Thanks for the info. Yeah I ordered my first starter kit from Volt, but I ordered automatic batteries, as I thought it was easier for a newbie. I should of joined here before I made the purchase last week.
Manual because of all the above reasons. Auto's just don't do anything for me and they will make my mouth hurt after awhile. I hate having to "primer puff" the darn things. Also, with manuals, the user has better control over the vape.
I wouldnt worry about it too much, the volt is a kr808d-1 type connection i believe, you could always just pick up a manual batt from one of our fine canadian vendors.
Nope, they are the same in terms of battery life. There is a difference in cut-off for the VOLT manuals which are generally longer then auto batts. So, you can take something like a 7 second drag off of them. Which is a good thing.
It's not a problem at all. Just fill them with 25 drops and let them soak for 20 minutes. Then blow them out from the mouth piece end to ensure there isn't any access juice. This will decrease the chances of anything getting into the batts. ALSO, it's a great idea to check this thread out:

Thanks for your input guys. I will purchase 2 manual batteries when I order more juice from volt.
P.S. you guys reply fast here =)

I'm one of the few that prefer auto batteries. I refill my cartos carefully (and take them off my battery first) so I've never had a problem with frying a battery.
I personally find that the auto batts mimic the act of smoking better for me. You actually have to take a drag to activate the sensor, whereas with a manual you press the buttton and the vapour kinda pours out. I like a little more resistance.
It's a personal preference. If you're buying a starter kit that comes with two batteries, why not choose one of each to see what you like?

The XL 510 autos I got from MadVapes have lasted ok (I believe they are vacuum switch) even with liquid getting in them..1 of the 3 I bought doesn't work as good as it did but still works after over 3 months of daily use.
OP auto battery's take more work and most likely won't last as long and you have to keep them clean..they are more convenient when your hands are full as you don't have to push a button. I have both kinds..if you want to save $$$ it's best to get manual only but if you have the money get both
Most people here use and recommend manuals. Manuals are harder to damage or kill with juice leaks (and manuals with a totally sealed metal end are near impossible to damage with juice). Manuals will not turn on accidentally in wind or vibration. Manuals give you more control of your hit and let you get the best drag/hit every time (you press the button in 1-2 seconds earlier than you start dragging so nice vapor is waiting). And I think manuals are less work - your drag is not responsible for causing vapor to me made - you can drag softer and like I said above have vapor ready when you start to drag.

Interesting, can't really comment on that since I never owned the Madvape auto batts. So, I'm not sure about their durability. But, I can comment on the VOLT autos since the longest batt they have is 78mm (which is all I own). They have been damaged and killed with juice entering the hole in the center pin. Which is documented in the VOLT thread.
Auto batts actually take less work but, they are easier to kill. Since the switch on VOLT batts have a hair pin trigger. Just the slightest drag and it will activate.

You'll be fine with the auto batteries. That's all I use. The only way you'll get liquid in them is if you overfill the carto. I have 6 auto bats right now and the oldest ones are dead from being charged so much, not because they got juice in them.
My wife and i just switched and i bought her 2 auto batteries and myself a manual one. Is there any danger if i accidentally over fill hers or will the battery just stop working? Thanks.
