Questions about batteries:

[Gamer]

Hey guys, I have been asked by a company to check out V4L products as a possibility for a company issued E-Cig for smokers. I am pretty much given $50 extra a week until the end of the month to try V4L and other E-Cigs. The one thing that i had been meaning to try are the different batteries. I was told to try different ones out and i got hooked on the XL manuals. In a recent order i got a XL auto and found myself puckering up with a very tough pull, I am now looking at the Minis for my next set of trials. I have so far enjoyed the Manuals but i was wondering if anyone has had any enjoyment with the autos? I find the draw very hard and ended up switching back to my manual after about 10-15min. So i need to make the order today so im asking the forum for a quick rundown if anyone can help

Thanks!

I enjoy my auto shorties at times, as every now and then I just want to puff. Autos and manuals are two entirely different beasts.

When I first started vaping, I balked at the idea of manuals...as did many I suspect. I just wanted to recreate the actual analog experience....which auto shorties definitely do. I find the auto-shortie draw to be much easier than the auto XL. Maybe it's the length...not too sure.

I love the autos... The shorties are good because of the size. Very comfortable. I find the draw a little too airy though. Now the draw on the reg autos to me seem perfect!!! Give those a try for sure. I'm not too happy with the size other then that they're awesome!!

Hehe it hasn't been all fun. I had to do a test when i first started of EVERY flavor. It was nice because I myself use V4L and when the company stated they wanted to try to go to E-Cigs for employees i jumped up and down in enjoyment. I've had to order some other brands and test them as well, Some of them are just down right horrible.

But its been a nice and cheap way to update some of my stock and work at the same time. My next order sadly i don't get anything form except a battery I am giving the rest away to other employees to try. Thats why i need to know if i should test a manual or auto. Im pretty set on a manual but the auto would be soooo nice if it works like it does in my head.

I find the auto shorties to be the best at simulating actual smoking. Not because of the vapor, but because of the actions. They are light-weight (closer to a real one) and no button to push that might make a smoker feel a bit odd. In a case where people are being ask to move to vapor instead of going there on their own, like we did, I suggest the auto shorties to start with. When I am out and about...driving, working...it's auto shorties all the way.

Thanks guys i think i'm going to place that order with an auto in it. I would love something i could keep in my teeth as i drive down the road lol. Plus these are being offered to some hardcore smokers whom might find the button a bit annoying. I personally don't, but i vape for enjoyment where others vape for stress. So the less complicated the better.

Auto shorties! Auto shorties! They are my favorite and I'd root for them all day, especially if the point is to get someone to change teams. From analog to e-cig I mean.

But, the simple fact is that all of the poles I've seen show the majority of people prefer the manuals and are less likely to suffer from user error or a dud battery with the manuals. If I were buying for a bunch of people I would have to decide with trying to convert them to my favorite shorties, or the probably wiser decision of just getting them what works for the majority of people - regular manuals.

I'd stay away from the XL's because of its size, it is a product for people who have already decided to vape, it is a hair shy of a mod. Of course, if you want one battery to last a guy all day that may be the one to go for...

Failing to see the problem.... I've spent tons of money trying to find my favorite flavor, and there was no reimbursement for me. Plus you don't feel as guilty pitching something awful when someone else bought it...

I like the auto for the "hand" experience. I can clasp them between my fingers a bit more like an old fashioned cig. It does have a bit of a learning curve, so remember that your new e-cig users will need a bit more intro then the manual users.

The problem was CRANBERRY! that taste still haunts me

 

[Tenebrae]

Yeah standalone cranberry was rather reminiscent of cat piss imo... Wish I could scrub the taste of it from my memory.Apple cinnamon cranberry however is one of my favs

 

[Adrenalynn]

I use the regular autos all day long (but then I smoke 120's too...) The XL's when I feel like I need a little more hit or am going to be out all day.

I don't use the manuals at all, ever.

Sounds a lot like me. My "excuse" is that the manuals require too much effort and thought on my part. Locate the button, push the button. I just want to vape like I smoked. No buttons.

 

[Adrenalynn]

That should be "smoked" and yup. That's it exactly. Not lookin' for a new hobby.

LOL! The first time I vaped the cranberry my wife smelled the vapor and asked, "what the .... is that?" and I replied "It's suppose to be cranberry but somehow they added cat piss on the inhale"

I only use mega batts. I like the long batt life. I have a manual and an auto and I have to agree. My jaw actually aches after a long vaping session with my auto. The 'true' analog hold (between the fingers) doesn't really work for me with the auto or manual because it is kind of heavy. I'm not sure that I use my little 401 that way either. I don't care how I hold it, I guess, as long as I don't have to keep recharging it.

I personally enjoy the autos- The taste of the juice is much more defined whereas the manual disguises the taste of the juice- Just a pity that the autos are short-lived and not because of juice-leakage. I think the auto switch just dies after a few months of heavy vaping-
