So the only device I ever used with a manual battery befrore was a dse801 and I hated it, th ebutton protruded out so far and was hard to push comfortably, at that poingt I gave up on manuals, but then my SI USB pass thru came in, the button fits into it smoothly and is so comfortable and easy to press and I love using it. My question is this, are the Volt manual batteries designed the same way, if so I may have to look into getting a few cause I love manuals, I just hate awkward buttons lol

The volt manual batteries have a very small button that is almost flush

As you can see, it hardly sticks up. It's about the width of a sheet of paper over the edge of the battery

I like the manual, but it took me a while to get used to the small buttons on the regular batteries. I have huge fingers, you see. Now, with the X2, I love my manuals, and especially the 5-click on/off. I had to get an auto first though, of course, but I've very much warmed up to the manuals.

Kia, I only have manual x2's, do you like/recommend the autos

The autos work just fine for me, Mroutlaw. I purchased autos because I wasn't sure what I'd think of the manuals, and I haven't had any problems with the 65mm and 78mm auto batteries. My first manual X2 I ended up with accidentally, for the most part, because I was going to gift it to someone that turned out to already own one. So, I kept it. My purchases since have been manuals, since the new 5-click mechanism came out for the X2's. I do like the manuals a little better than the autos, simply for control. I have also been adding manuals to my regular battery stores. After all, I'm the one that keeps recommending all sizes, colors, and switch choices are necessary in one's life. ;)

I have autos for my small batteries. I own a landscape company, so I spend my day driving and running lawn mowers. The auto's are easier for me to use and still have my hands free.

I have manual x2's and was wondering if I should get an auto one, but I only use the, at home. They are just two big to hang from my mouth when I work

meh, unless you're a fiend for hoarding like me, you're probably just fine with your two X2 manuals at home. I have five in rotation now...

Lol, i am like you. You should see my collection of juices, and I like them all. Bought a bunch of stuff for DIY, so I shouldn't need anything there either. My new buying frenzy is cartos and clearos. Just ordered the Phoenix cartos from gotvapes.

Battery system- check
Juice flavor- check
Deliver system- will always be something new to try.

I am going to get a third x2, just don't know which one. I am always afraid that my x2 will fail, and with my luck, my backup, so as you say, need a backup for my backup.

The only thing I do know is, it won't be the 650mah. The 900 and 1300 have me spoiled

The only thing that scares me about the manuals is that they don't have an on/off switch (or seveal presses) like the larger manual batteries and might trigger when in my pocket. I keep my volt in my pocket with my keys and stuff that might press against the button.
Does that happen to you guys?

As I said, I'm a landscaper and that thing is always in my hand or in my pocket with keys. It's never gone off. The button is almost flush with the battery, unlike the x2. It's hardly noticeable, even when you run your fingers around it

Well, glad to know I'm not alone, at least. I'm beginning to think I'll have Rave beat pretty soon!

Don't say no to the 650 just yet. I started with the 1300. Love it. Then I got a 900 and a 650 in new colors (blue and purple, respectively). Um, yeah, love these too, but I have gone crazy for the 650! Seems to be an absolutely perfect size (for me), not too powerful that I can't use my cartos (I've started with the XL's now), and they fit so nicely in the pocket of my purse or standing next to the computer monitor. So, never say never. ;)

I admit I was paranoid about this, too, at first. But, I've thrown my regular 65mm and 78mm manuals into my purse without a problem. I think it's because the button is so close to being flush, and the small size. It doesn't seem to be bothered by much of anything at all. Now, the X2 batteries, it is very nice to have the 5-click, as these buttons are not flush, much larger, and can be gotten in the way of.
