I am about to purchase the brava system, and would like as much information as possible. Was wondering.. what is the difference between the smart box and the manual air lock? Which of the two is better, or gives better results? Thanks for all responses.

They are different ways of sealing the system to provide the suction. The main difference is that the air lock is the much cheaper way of doing it.

I heard that some women have problems with the smart box. I think it's mentioned in some other threads further down. I don't know if the manual thing works as good, but it's maybe less hassle (and cheaper).

The smart box creates a vacuum within the domes that usually ranges between 15 and 33 mgHg. With the airlock, you need to determine on your own the amount of pressure that is exerted.
I have been using the smartbox and find that it works just fine for me. For the last 3 weeks (I've been using the Brava for 10 weeks now), I have been manually sucking the air out of the tube before attaching the smart box. In the event that I lose pressure in the middle of the night, the smart box turns on and brings me back into the appropriate range.
