What's your fave V4L batt and why?

[Belletrist]

i can't pick a fave yet. i have one of each except for a man XL and boy do i want one...

i like the autos for ease of use and mindlessness... i mean, i'm new to vaping so their similarity to a cig is awesome. but i got a manual PT to try... and wow, love that too, so i got a manual reg length and... yeah, enjoy.

so far the only one i'm not *over the top* with is my auto shorty--but i still like it.

so just curious. what's your fave?

see, i actually really like my shorty, and don't notice any HUUUGE difference between its vape, and the vape of a reg battery that i just got. i've yet to try XL; my PT that i use in the car (which i did today with a different cart) again, i don't see huge differences. so right now, i'm liking the shorty for ease/stealth, but the reg is a very close runner up.

Manual XL I now have four of them and with my complex will be ordering more. I feel like I get better vapor production and flavor than from the regular manuals. I have 4 man XLs, 2 reg autos, 1 reg man, 1 auto XL, and an auto and manual PT. Now that I quit smoking I do not even vape the same as I smoked nor do I hold it the same so I prefer manuals everytime.

Now I'm absolutely into the manuals. The auto still has a place, but when I'm seriously vaping, the manual is it. I say that after 20 mins.

para, i'm noticing that after only a week my "smoking" style is changing up so much that it's not that relevant to me to have an auto anymore either... and i am guilty of overfilling carts, lol, so a manual seems safer. plus leaford and his danged lanyard has changed everything about my smoking/vaping style. i can't start smoking again cause i can't hang fire around my neck.

I don't have any XL's or shorties because I don't like the length of the XL and I'm afraid the battery duration of the shorties will be too short, so I can't compare. I prefer the regular autos over the regular manuals. The autos last longer for me, and I like the ease of use.

Manual Xlongs because they are long and strong!!!

 

[antithesis]

see, i know the difference between manual and the autos, but i need to ask all you fine folks what makes you like the manual more? why? i'm wondering if i should buy manual batts the next time around? i have 2 shorties, 2 reg, and am DEBATING two xl's and if so, if i should make them manuals!

jleigh - so far i've mostly been using my shorty battery, and after one full day of use (i was a pack a day smoker but ONLY at work, not at home), which included some vape time at home, my shortly lasted me alllll day (obviously not nonstop, but i mean, it didn't die until like, 1 am, and my first vape off it was at 830am, so it went all day, into the night, and up to after midnight. i'd charged this BEFORE using it out of the box, though, so i'm not sure if that matters or not. my other shorty i didn't do that, because i found out i didn't need to.

the reg batt i'm using today, i didn't charge out of the box (or, cute velvet bag!) and started vaping off it at about 3 am, perhaps the equiv of a half a cig each vape session.

so the shorties batt life to me isn't bad at all.

I have 3 reg autos, 1 shortie, 3 reg manuals, 3 xl manuals, 2 auto pt's, and 2 manual pt's. Besides the ones I have loaned out.
I use a manual pt at work, an auto pt at home, and rotate between the 3 manual XL's when I am away from computers.

I prefer the manuals, only because when I first started vaping the autos were really airy (kinda like sucking on a straw) I prefer a harder draw. But the new auto pt I got has a much harder draw and I really like it. i have heard the new auto XL has a harder draw, looking forward to trying it.

I'm vain, I like my pink multi logo reg manual.

All my other batteries are black.

Question, do the shorties fit into jean pockets safely?

I think it really comes down to your vaping style. I prefer the manual because I feel I have more control. ( yes I am a control freak) I can use an auto just fine but the manual feels more comfortable to me. I went with autos when I made the switch cause I wanted it to be like smoking. Now I could care less about smoking I want it to be about vaping.

They always know. You gotta share the experience when you fire it up.

I am on week 7, I am a guy, my friends refer to me as the ___hole because of my pessimism, and yet I am still giddy as can be. Good luck with that.
