Exxus Quick Brief
What You Should Know
A quick rundown of the main points, questions, and guidance you'll find in this guide.
Overview
Auto-draw cartridge vaporizers skip the button and fire when you inhale, but they need the right kind of cartridge to work. This guide explains how to spot an auto-draw compatible cartridge and how the technology fires without a button.
The key is a small airflow hole in the cartridge base. Check for it, understand how the air sensor works, and you can enjoy the hands free ease that Exxus auto-draw devices are built for.
Key Takeaways
- Auto-draw devices fire when you inhale, so no button press is needed.
- They require a cartridge with an airflow hole in the bottom so air can pass through and trigger the sensor.
- To check, look inside the 510 threading for a hole that feeds directly into the cartridge.
- An internal air sensor detects your inhale to activate heating and powers down when airflow stops.
- Exxus auto-draw devices include favorites like the Tap VV, Slim 2.0, Minovo, and Palm Pro.
- Hands free auto-draw feels more natural than holding a button for every hit.

Below, the full guide builds on the quick brief with detailed product considerations and buying guidance to steer your choice.
In the world of cartridge vaporizers there exists two leading schools of thought in terms of basic functionality, those that follow the manual button press and those that autodraw. Today we are going to focus on the autodraw vaporizers to explain a very important note that you will need specific air-hole equipt cartridges in order to use your piece. Continue on to see why you need these specific cartridges, how your auto-draw vape works, and some awesome Exxus vapes that utilize this great inhalation technology.
What Kind of Cartridge Do I Need For My AutoDraw Vape?
While the Tap VV, Slim 2.0, and Palm Pro all included universal 510 threaded connections, the reality is that due to their auto-draw nature you will need a cartridge that also features an airflow hole on the bottom to allow it to function.

To check if your cartridge has the proper air hole functionality simply look within the 510 threading and see if there is a hole on the bottom that feeds directly into the cartridge itself. This necessary hole allows for the air sensors within your AutoDraw vaporizer to properly function and for air to flow directly though your cartridge and into your mouth.
How Does My AutoDraw Vape Work?
Much as the name suggests your AutoDraw vaporizer functions purely off of your inhales, allowing for a relaxing buttonless experience you can pick up and start puffing away on. Packed within your vaporizer is a surprising amount of technology that allows your auto-draw device to utilize an air sensor that can tell when air is passing by from an inhale in order to activate the vaporizing mechanics to provide you with an effortless hit.
In the same way that the air sensor notices your inhalation, it also notices the absence of such air and that is how it stays powered down, thus allowing for it to be always ready. Thanks to the auto-draw technology you can have the ultimate ease of access when it comes to blowing clouds with zero hassle.
What Exxus Vapes Feature Autodraw?
Exxus has a diverse selection of autodraw vaporizers that allow for you to choose the perfect one for yourself from favorites such as the Tap VV, Slim 2.0, Minovo, and Palm Pro! All of these great vapes utilize the hands free autodraw technology for a smoother operation that feels much more natural than holding down a button each time you need a hit. Peruse all of these great vapes here at Exxus Vapes Online and check out which one is your perfect fit!
Frequently Asked Questions
How-To FAQs
Common questions about this guide and how to put the information to work when choosing your device.
How do I know if my cartridge works with an auto-draw vape?
Look inside the 510 threading for an airflow hole in the bottom of the cartridge that feeds directly into it. That hole lets the device's air sensor detect your inhale, which is what auto-draw needs to fire.
How does auto-draw actually work?
An internal air sensor notices air passing through when you inhale and activates the heating mechanism, then powers down when it stops sensing airflow. That is why the device stays ready without a button.
Which Exxus vapes are auto-draw?
Several, including the Tap VV, Slim 2.0, Minovo, and Palm Pro. All use hands free auto-draw so you can pick them up and inhale without holding a button.
What happens if I use a cartridge without an airflow hole?
The air sensor cannot detect your draw, so an auto-draw device will not fire properly. You need a cartridge with the bottom airflow hole for it to work.
