Let us ignore the mechanics behind it, let's say you have the exact same device as you do now. It vapes EXACTLY the same. Except for one thing, instead of pushing a button to make the device fire, it is an automatic. You can still use any tank system, atty, or carto. So you just inhale and the device fires. The draw is the same and function is the same you just don't push a button. Would you use this? It would be nice not having to worry about the device firing in your pocket.
Would you ever use them?

I have the evic which locks itself after a few seconds, so don't have to worry about it firing in my pocket. However, I would prefer not pushing the button every time.
Nope. 'Cause with any automatic "something" else besides a button has to decide when it turns on, how long it runs, and when it shuts off. I would rather be in charge of as much of that as I can be myself.
I prefer to use an automatic. Emulate analogs more and so that helps keep me from wanting an actual analog. Tomorrow I should be getting my Volt in the mail, another automatic. Can't wait!
Maybe its just me but none of my mods look like a smoke. I don't want anything to act like a cigarette. I vape only.
It's not that we would want it to emulate a smoke, just if you're feeling lazy, or you're worried about it going off in your pocket.
Nope. I want the control over the device, not the device controlling me.
If my carto starts to become flooded, I've learned to vaporize some of the excess juice by pressing on the fire button for about 2-3 seconds before I inhale. I wouldn't be able to do that with an automatic. Continuing to inhale on a nearly flooded carto will most certainly flood it all the way and make it un-vapable. With a manual battery, I've got a chance to save the carto.
Same as if the carto is getting dry. I can do some primer puffs by inhaling without power on to bring more juice into the carto before turning on the heat. Can't do that with an autobattery.
Also, auto batteries become ruined if they get any liquid in them from leaking juice delivery devices. It shorts them out and then you got a dead battery. Although I don't drip on an atty, it is a popular form of vaping. However, it is quite easy for this to leak excess juice on top of the battery connect (the reason why many mods have a "drip well"). You couldn't drip on an auto battery.
I'm sure there's more, but that's all that I remember right now.

Huh? It's a itty bitty button - if I can't push that then... well, that's just too lazy.
All my gear, with the exception of my first eGo batteries, has some sort of shutoff. Either a mechanical switch or a 5 click on/off feature. (And that kind of eGo battery without a shutoff is getting harder and harder to even buy any more.) Stuff turning on in your pocket by itself really should be a non-issue at this point in time - if you turn it off. Me? I would more concerned about the potential an auto battery has to turn itself on than a device with a switch/some sort of power off capability.
Do you drive a stick shift or a automatic?

I like shifting, it's more sporty... & there would be nothing worse then having a sport car with an automatic tranny (or a Provari) unless of course my clutch foot was broken (or my thumb/ trigger finger) but I'm sure there's a place on my desk for a high end Paddle shifter or with automatic options.

Personally, I prefer manual-hovever, I'd like to see someone come up with a 'semi-auto'; push the button, start drawing, release the button, device stops firing as soon as you stop drawing.
I got into the habit of just giving my carto a little twist off before I put it anywhere. It's simple and habit now- the battery can do whatever it wants, but it won't fire anything.
Ive never had my sealed auto's go off in my pocket, and cant imagine them ever doing so - takes a proper draw to get them going.
When I started vaping I only used auto's and thought that was the perfect battery. UNTIL I got my first manual batt.Now i use my auto's for others to try that are interested in vaping 
As for the firing issue all my manual mods have shutoff/lockouts so no need to worry.
As for the firing issue all my manual mods have shutoff/lockouts so no need to worry.Many do.The Echo comes to mind but it is to big and heavy for me. The Eroll is the new auto that many are happy with. I don't think auto is important unless the size and weight are comparable to an analog. Then it is everything!
Personally, I love my manual stuff. But my opinion is that the best device to use is the one that works for you. That's why I love having all the different devices and choices available now. There were a lot around when I started a year ago, but the market has grown even more since then.
