Hello bigal41
I started off with auto batteries and I got my first manual battery yesterday. I can tell you that with the auto I usually have to give it a couple of puffs to get it warmed up to creat a good vape. With the manual you press the button on the battery and inhale period, no prime puff is needed. and you get a good throat hit with every puff. I noticed also that I am forced to hold the manual differently, as you have to depress the button as you take your puff. It was strange at first but it is automatic to me now! LOL

I've seen this many times can someone explain what that means and also why would someone choose a atty over a carto or vice versa.

Thanks

As you've just read, almost everyone will prefer a manual battery over an automatic. With the auto, IT decides when and how much vape you get... with a manual YOU decide.

As for the atty vs. carto: If I could afford to use a fresh carto every time I probably would - but I'm not super-picky about flavor. They are just much, much easier.. just screw one in and go. BUT - they can be expensive! You CAN refill them but IMO they get worse every time you do until they just aren't worth it (and you find this out after you just filled it with juice - more juice wasted).

With atty (either dripping or with a cartridge) it's easier to switch flavors, it's more work and maintenance, the flavors come through better (imo), and they last longer - I've been using the same two atty's since March and they are both still going strong. The main thing though, is that they are way cheaper to use than cartomizers.

A great compromise between functionality and value is using an atty with a drip tip; The drip tip is just a mouth piece that goes on the end of your atty. You just drip 2-3 drops of juice in there and vape until it's gone (maybe 10 drags) and then drip a couple more drops in. The drip tip funnels the juice into the atty and keeps it from getting into your mouth. Fewer parts and pieces to mess with or have to carry around with you, and therefore fewer parts and pieces to replace. You can't do it in the car though, if that's a big part of your day (I use a cartomizer when I drive).\

Don't drip and drive.

I've tried all manner of atomisers and cartomisers and have finally settled on cartomisers now. I'm using one of missy's wetbox with a cartomiser, really the only way you can use the wetbox, and I just keep them in and going week after week until they finally get so clogged up I can't draw through them and then just throw them away. And when I get close to the bottom of my pile of cartomisers I simply order more. Easy. For me at least.

I personally have an auto right now - has this sensor in it that tells it to turn on when you take a drag. For me it's "okay". I can't complain about the price, how well it is hitting and the vapor, but the cost of buying cartomizers is really starting to add up (even tho it's STILL cheaper than smokes a day)

Within the next week I'm going to be buying a manual as I've hear they are better on the juice, and the battery life is, by far, better.

What PV you choose, again as others have said, is YOUR own personal preference. I chain vape - so I need something that's going to allow me to do that. I found that in a manual (eGo).

GL on your future purchases. :)
