no choice but auto

[ka9qlq]

hello everyone this is my first post
I am severely disabled, and am unable to press a button to vape.
I got a 510 Auto Mega Battery Sat and it quit working today. I Guess they are a little touchy? but a push button switch is out of the question for my disability. Ideas welcolcome
Thanks
Alvin

First thing I would do is contact the vender who sold you that batt, next I would look around for quality auto venders. I have had wonderful experiences with Vapor 4 Life. They have selections, quality and the best customer service I've experienced from any vape company out there.

My first order from them about two years ago had a problem with one of the batts. I mentioned this on their forum here on the ECF, about 10 minutes later I get a pm from one of their employees asking for my order number so a replacement could be sent. This was midnight on a Saturday btw. I can't recommend them highly enough.

You could try a 21st century kit from rite aid if you need something fast - they're $20 and include a charger, batt and 3 catridges. I still use mine occasionally, it's rly good kit for the $ imo. After that I agree w/ this ^^^. Might want to check out the volt from smokeless image too.

Sorry your battery died. But at least replacements are a plenty.
Id also like to mention, Grimmgreen over at grimmgreen industries site just did a review on the "Vapor Zues " from vapor 4 life and if you get a chance to watch the review I believe the device might really ..really interest you. Its an auto device that kinda looks like a cigar. Hands free vaping. And he said with the matching cartomizer it comes with it lasts for hours. And amazingly enough it's a 5 volt battery device. You don't "change " out batteries its more ego-ish and charges with a USB cable.
It also has a thick rubber tip that makes it easy to just hold with your teeth.
I was impressed with the review, id look into it .....sounds like it would be a perfect device for you

It depends on what size of battery you are looking for as well as the type. If you are giong to want something larger then a 180mah to 250mah battery must will be manual. The smaller 510 type batteries as well as the 808D type come in automatic as well as manual. The larger ones however are mostly manual with a few exceptions. For the small 180mah sized automatic batteries you can generally find them priced abotu $10-$15 without charger. The size will see the price go up about $5 or so depending on who is selling it as well as the brand.

Hi and Welcome to ECF!...Wish I could help, but being a noobie, all I can do is to wish you the best of luck and say hello. There are awesome people here. I have no doubt, someone will be able to help you find what you need.

Which brand is it to begin with would be the next question since it sounds like you got a defect you could return for exchange or refund! That would be the first thing since every so often a few bad ones get out. I found that out here with one particular size of automatic running into problems while the other sizes as well as manual batteries keep on going! Have some more on the way as well.

The Joyce brand has a few but 650 or 900mah in size. One having an auto or manual setting seen at Joye 510 Auto/Manual Mega Battery - 90mm (Long) (510MEGABATT)

Of course once you go with another brand then you will end up needing at least the usb adapter while the ac wall adapter is also recommended! The fast replacement if you are comfortable with what you have there would mean a delay while seeing it replaced.

 

[Oneida]

Maybe an eRoll? They're cig-sized autos and many people including veteran vapers seem to like them a lot. There's a long thread about them here.

 

[Night Hawk]

If you shop around a bit you can often find better deals for a specific item once you have decided what you will be doing as far as any replacement. You might just want another brand if not exchanging the bad one for a good through the company. The eRolls are a bit pricey when compared to other brands as one thing to note here.

Too bad you couldn't get this one in automatic! I spotted a great deal on a kit that see two not one battery included for the Ego C-Twist type 650mah variable voltage that also has the 900mah option but is manual not auto. New CE4 Atomizer +Zippe Case+Adapter Kit

One idea to pass along here would be a look at the Ego C_Twist that come in both auto and manual to get an idea for any replacement. ego c-twist auto battery - Bing Images

Thank you all very much!
I do intend to call madvapes today, not sure its worth sending back a 10 dollar Batt but will ask. It's got juice in it so really my fault anyway. You'd think someone would have a better design there, with a moisture trap like a grease trap on a sink. J pipe. I will check out the recommended vendors too.
BTW I got 3 Vision eGo Clearomizer V3 (CE5) w/CE4-510 Adapter for a Colored Rotatable Drip Tip for 510/901 (360 Degree Rotation) as I'm used to a full bent Yellowbowel Apollo pipe & a 6ml Clear Giant Cartomizer for 510/eGo(2.2 /3.0ohm)(Discontinued)
God bless

Smokeless image has both 65mm and 78mm batteries in auto - along with the 2X size batts. Both are hassle free - and if you need a longer charge the 2X is great.. a bit bigger than a cig though - more like a cigar.

Seems like some vendor was touting "sealed" auto batteries.

(Goes digging for answers)

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/halo/248868-anyone-elses-auto-battery-sealed.html
So volt batteries had/have a sealed option. I'd check reviews more too.

Another option....a "Modder" could take a mod and rig a wire to a foot switch or something if that's practical for you...IDK the specifics about your situation. I'd go with the auto batts, but I mention it for ideas....

smokeless image sells some auto egos, good battery life but they take kr808 cartos, i'd recommend kangers, or even the clearos they sell

If you don't mind something larger, something in the SabreTouch line from VaporMoon might suit you. It's a touch switch, not an auto. You don't have to push the switch in, just complete the circuit by making contact with/touching the device in the right places.

I don't see what it fits

Can't do foot switch, or even touch switch. Have to have it put in mouth but can hold it. Small Batts are ok as long as they WORK.

BTW Madvapes said "Oh just toss it"

All I use are autos. I need an automatic as much as I need a high strength nicotine to keep me away from the cigarettes.

By far the best automatic I've tried is the Echo. It's a fat battery similar to an eGo, but it has a flat top with a "sealed" 808 connection. It has a very good automatic switch; unlike other autos it immediately shuts off when you stop puffing on it and will turn on immediately even after it hits the cut off. You can find the Echo at Mountain Vapor, Northwest Vapor, Cropduster901, SmokTek and NHaler just to name a few. Mountain Vapor has the best starter kit, with 5 cartos or 2 CE4's. Mountain Vapor also has an automatic eGo which I am told is just as good as the Echo. Unfortunately with the Echo, you're stuck with the cartomizers or CE4's designed for it if looks matter to you. If not, then any 808-threaded device will work just fine on it.

I have both the Echo and an X2 from Smokeless Image; the Echo definitely has an easier draw and a better switch, but the X2 does have cone threads for aesthetics.

When it comes to minis, the eRoll has become very popular recently. I haven't tried it, nor am I likely to. I just don't feel like messing with atty+tank systems on the go, which is odd because I exclusively drip. The PCC issue is more pressing to me, though that can be worked around.

I absolutely love the Sidesho by Modern Vapor, though it is the only super mini I've ever tried. It has a nice easy draw and the PCC is very nice. However, since I drip on autos I do have 2 dead batteries inside a month but only one of which I can definitively say was caused by over-dripping. The Sidesho is the same size as the Blu or the Volcano, but better quality. And they offer blank cartomizers, the only company with a battery in that size range who does so that I have found. I do have a Joye 306 kit on the way to compare.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend the Volt. At least for my preference, I prefer an easier draw than what I've encountered with their batteries. They are a quality product though, and they do have great service. Of the standard minis I have tried, I actually really like the Fin. It's a cheap brand that you can grab from WalMart for about $10.00. I wouldn't recommend their flavors, but they have the easiest draw of the stick batteries I have tried and replacements are cheap.

If you want a pipe-like experience, I haven't heard horrible things about the 601-C. It's an automatic e-pipe that takes 510 cartomizers.

Good luck.

alvin, good luck! if you don't mind me asking, do you use a program to dictate your posts?

 

[Johnnie Price]

I forgot to mention that if you wish to use VV, V4L has a VV auto battery. It's basically an Echo with VV, though I haven't tried one to compare. Smokeless Image will soon be coming out with a VV auto as well, though theirs will have the cone threads like the X2.

Since someone mentioned the Vapor Zeus, there are some revolutionary things about it. The carto design is nifty, and I've yet to see it anywhere else. The fact that it's a 5 volt battery is pretty nice as well, and the auto or manual feature of the black model is nice but not unheard of.

Wow, I just went to Totally Wicked to get you the link to their auto Ego batteries, and they're gone! They don't carry them anymore.

If you can't find an auto Ego battery anywhere else, PM me with your address. I have 2 that my brother gave me because he accidentally ordered auto instead of manual and was too lazy to mail them back for replacements. He just re-ordered the manual batteries and gave away the autos.

Like my brother, I mostly drip. So, I've only used them once or twice. I've just been saving them for emergency back-up.

So, I'll gladly send them to you if you can't find them elsewhere. Just send me a PM if you want them.
