Hi all! So I typically use my Ego's or my little mod at home, but when I am out & about I take my regular 510s or my 808s from V4L. I'm thinking about trying the Volt, but am wondering about their automatic batteries. Is the draw really hard on their automatics?

With my 808s from V4L, I had to get all manuals because it was a really hard pull with the automatic. I haven't tried a regular 510 automatic yet...but figured I would check on the Volt first since I seem to hear a lot of good things about them.

Any insight into their auto batteries would be greatly appreciated!! When I'm out my real preference is to use an automatic battery, so I'd love to find a good one.

The v4l are known typically for having a more open easier draw. So that raises some questions from personal preference, cartos used and whether you cleaned the batteries -which needs to be done regularly for a nice draw on an auto. It's too difficult to say unless I'm using you battery so we'll leave that one alone I guess. I believe you could also have gotten a battery that had a stiff draw. It happens.

The only thing I can say is the volts do have a stiffer draw compared to v4l batteries, in general.

I've only used Volts and I have an auto and a manual. I like both. The auto is easy to draw, and the manuals are perfect. If you can do it, get a longer size. They do last a little longer.

But yeah, the autos are awesome. I think my buddy who got me into this, he has about 4 of them, all autos, and he hasn't had a problem with them.

Great - thank you both! I have 4 of the V4L autos, their ""Titan" batteries, so they are sealed. I've only used them with the V4L ClearCarts or WOW Vapor cartos, but i really found myself having to take some pretty hard primer puffs to get them going, and even then, it was just too much work for an easy draw.

I think I will give the Volt a try and see how those go. Any idea how these compare to a regular 510 auto? I've not tried the auto 510s either, just the manuals with those

Thanks again!

If you are looking to use a clearo on the Volt, I would recommend getting a manual battery, or wait until tomorrow when I have the X2 from them and I will try my clearos on it. The auto batteries don't work well at all on clearos, but the manuals are great for it.

These would just be for when I am out, so I'd just be using cartos. Typically when I'm out I use a more "cigarette styled" battery and set up. Thanks for the tips!

Order a few unsealed batteries from bloogplanet.com. They are selling all sizes 65, 78 and 108 for $7.99 to make room for new sealed batteries. I ordered a couple because I was having the same draw problems as you with my volt automatics which are also sealed. After a day of using the unsealed and at $7.99 a piece, I ordered 4 more. You use have to be careful not to overfill your cartos because a leak will kill the battery. The draw is amazing on these and you can't beat the price.

the VOLT is the only way to go for ease of draw.

i have the 78mm in auto's and manuals and have the X2 650's in auto and manuals.

i love these jewels and plan to stick with them.

now it is possible to get a bad one,once in awhile,but that happens in every product out there,

my vendor will replace it if bad ,they have 3 month warranty on their products.

All my 808 sealed have a tighter draw than the old ones. I picked up two sealed when Volt first came out with them and don't even have to look to see which ones I'm vaping. They put the old ones on sale and I grabbed a bunch of them. I've never been able to find an adaptor that will work on the sealed autos either so 808 cartos are it. The sealed won't fire for me on an 808 to 510. Since unsealed are becomming a thing of the past I'm going to pick up a few more Bloogs while they're on sale at that price. I've never had one go bad from juice getting into it. I learned to be careful with filling when unsealed were the only game in town.

I am using a clearo with a sealed auto X2 now and not having any trouble AT ALL. It works pretty well in fact.
