Why don't auto batts get more respect?

[Tenebrae]

Only time I use manuals is for refilling. Yes you will occasionally get an unsatisfactory auto but I have pain enough in my hands from typing without adding pushing a very tiny button hundreds of times a day.

If you refill your carts and then use a manual to burn off any overage then you won't kill your autos. I haven't drown a bat since my second month of vaping. Just takes practice and patience.

Often I will put my cartos on a manual PT for a vape or two just to make sure they are good to go before I introduce them to my diamonds.

That's exactly what I do everytime I refill. I load the carto to about 103% capacity, then vape it down on my PT to about 97% full. Then I throw the condoms on and put it away for later.
Also, whenever I put a fresh carto on any battery, be it manual or auto, I keep the PV horizontal (or slightly inclined towards the mouthpiece end) until I've taken a handful of vapes, just to be extra sure.

I bought a diamond battery and a stealth. Only tried them for a short time. I definately prefer
the XL manual batteries. I still have several regular manual batteries, so yesterday I decided to
use some of them again, and they are not nearly as good as the XL. I like large inhales and
throat-hits. I haven't been satisfied with any of my autos.

I don't use autos because the diaphram tends to wear out before the battery does. It's made of thin plastic or metal that flexes when you take a drag. Over time it starts to wear out and it gets stuck in the on position. Of course you can make do for a while by simply blowing back into the cig to unflex the diaphram and locking it back to the off positon, but it gets annoying after a while.

Yep me too Sally. Can't wait for the diamond XL's to come in!

I was a manual girl - I just preferred the draw and it is more satisfying to me. Until the diamond series came along. To me, the draw is almost perfect on the Diamond xls. I am very careful when I refill (off the battery of course) and make sure that I can look through the hole and not see it clogged with juice before I put it back on the battery. If I see juice, I blow it out a bit into a tissue and wipe the carto end down before using. I have about 10 xl diamonds batts and they are pretty much all I use now.

I prefer auto. I tilt mine down towards mouthpiece for a while at first and when I overfill I use a small ball of paper towel wad and stuff into the cart for a few secs to soak up whatever extra I put in. Works great!

Seems like a lot of pepole worry about over-filling and juice messing up the batt. I've gotten a little leakage, but because I read that was an issue before I started dripping I got paranoid and checked regularly. Now I'm very used to how much dripping to stay wet and not overfill (for me about 5-7 drops after 45 minutes of regular use (not constant vaping like some folks but a puff here and there) and I usually take my carto off when I drip and wait a few minuted before re-attaching it. I've had a little juice go in but not much at my batts are going strong.

I respect mine all day long.

My answer to over-filling is to not over-fill.

Sometimes the simplest answer is the best one Ms. Addy.

My answer to over-filling is to not over-fill.

I love this, so sublime.

That's what I do too, Adrenalynn...And I love love love the auto diamond batts.

I recently received my new Diamond xl batt. and really love it too! Will def. buy more. My other autos started dressing alike to impress me...sometimes works.

Indeed, to both statements. If I burn out my lovely auto diamonds, it will be from overuse, not overfilling.
