Now I like manuals better

[cthompson116]

Ok, so I bought all autos at first, then wanted to dry burn to rebuild some clearo's. Bought a manual 78, now all I want is manuals!

I have three auto X2's and 8 auto 78's. one manual 78

Yeah I got autos for my first volt kit, but loving the manuals so much more. I've given my autos to friends as loaners to try and get them off analogs and so far has been working!

I can't figure out which I like better. I have 5 auto 78's, 2 manual and a manual 900x2

I like the vapor from the manual but the convenience of the auto. I wish I had an auto x2

I got autos when I ordered my volt kit and added a couple of extras. Then, when I ordered my first X2 all they had were manuals so that is what I got. I had no clue what I was missing, Manuals Rock. It seems warmer to me and I get more vapor. But, I guess it could all be in my head.

Glad I stopped in and read this thread!! I LOVE my 78 autos, but have been wondering what the manual batteries are like ... PLUS I wanna try dripping when testing new flavors of juice! When Reading the "newbie" section so many recommended manual batteries, but I went auto because I wanted to come as close as I could to "smoking" when I gave up analogs (who pushes a button to smoke, right??) LOL!! NOW I'm gonna order my first X2 to use at home & it's going to be a manual ... Just have to decide which size!! I will probably always prefer auto 78's when out and about (unless I talk myself into one of those "Ultimo" box mods I saw in Steeljan's video in which she used a Smokeless Image carto!!! LOL!!! I think I'm lusting over that cute little thing with the button and zebra print!! ;-). So can you guys tell me why you now prefer the manual batteries over the autos? Just curious ....

Manual batteries are thought to give you more control and I believe that is true. For someone like me that started with a mini ecig, and went the ego route for a while, I developed a big appreciation for autos. Then when SI came out with the X2, sealed auto, I was in heaven. For me, it is like the difference in a manual or auto transmission. Simple and easy wins for me. Having said that, I have 1 X2 manual that I really like and I use it with cartos most of the time.

I think you get a bit more vapor. Push the button a second before you drag gets the coil heating before the drag. If that makes sense.

 

[Mroutlaw]

I like both. You do get more vapor from a manual, but that is only because I heat up the coil for a quick second first. You can do the same thing with manual by taking a primer puff.

I use the manuals when I am at home laying in bed or on the computer but when I am out in the car I use the auto because I like to hang it from my mouth

Just started using an x2 manual today after begining with 78mm autos two weeks ago.
Didn't like the cartos: always tasted burnt.
The manual with the clearomizer is working oout great; I like it better than I thought I would!

Precisely right. you don't actually get more vapor production from a manual. But since you don't need to pull through it to fire it, you get more vapor delivery.

I prefer the autos since I hate buttons. But I still like the manuals as they aren't as limited in what hardware you can use them with since they don't rely on maintaining the proper airflow path to fire. I use them with things like attys to test out new juices and my DIY mixes, to dry burn my clearos, and to use them with CE3s (which don't easily work with autos) for acidic juices that aren't compatible with the Clearos.
