    Default V4L Cartomizers VS Other Cartomizers

    I have purchased cartomizers from a few suppliers and found them to be all the same
    no difference in vaping them ... Some had 4 holes some 2 holes and they came slotted
    and without slots .. The 4 Hole unslotted batts are all and haven't been produced in months...The 2 hole are the standard auto batts that come slotted...The manuals that are now available are also 2 and 3 hole that are currently unslotted but will probably be changed to slotted soon from what I am hearing ...I will be using 3 Auto 3 hole slotted batterys for the test. "Chargers everywhere" The carts are available in slotted and unslotted with no particular semblance of order and are no longer being manufactured without slots as far as I know. This has been brought up before but as I have read about the V4L cartomizers being better I needed to see for myself, I was lead to believe the cartomizers were different and better. Now along with so many other people I know for a fact They are not better but the same!

    For the Test:

    1 V4L Cartomizer has plug and 4 grooves

    1 NHaler KR808 Cartomizer has plug and 4 grooves

    1 CigEasy KR808 Cartomizer has plug and 4 grooves




    Vaping test:

    3 Fully Charged kr808 auto 3 hole slotted battery

    Findings:
    All 3 had the same Flavor ( Same DeKang liquid ) - This was also confirmed by Mark at V4L
    All 3 had the same Vapor production ( Test was done on Full battery for each cartomizer giving 40 long pulls)
    All 3 had the same insides ( I took 3 cartomizers apart ) all 3 from different suppliers without the wrappers you could not tell them apart
    All 3 had comparable amounts of liquid inside



    My findings: The cartomizers are the same, with the exception of the wrapper (With the V4L logo and name of flavor) Other 2 had color wrappers (for identifying flavor)

    My Suggestion: Purchase them were you can find them the cheapest


    Here are some post about the Cartomizers and will support my findings:

    I am going to say it: NHALER CARTOMIZERS

    Are V4L carts really any different from other KR808D-1's?


    Are all kr808d-1's equal?

    Did you try 36Mg vs 24Mg?


    I really wish all of the cartomizers said what flavor they were on the side. Even tho color ones do work; it's just a nice little touch to have them said what they are on them.

    Thanks for the input. I didn't buy into the V4L hype (stellar customer service is one thing, product similarity another) and ordered a bunch of cartomizers from Health Cabin for a buck each, after shipping. Buying the same amount through V4L would've cost roughly triple. I guess my cynicism pays off once in a while lol

    EDIT: Scratch the price comparison; I'm not sure whether V4L sells in bulk.

    Agreed. Some of the colors just look silly. If I were a supplier I'd have mine all black with the mg and flavor printed on the wrapper.

    Another reason I didn't go with V4L. The last thing I want to be sucking on in public is a lime green battery attached to a neon pink cart, both covered in pseudo Louis Vuitton logos...

    Black = Good and stealthish

    Why do people feel the need to screw with something that doesn't need screwing with??

    I pull the paper sticker/wrappers off so they all are pretty shiny silver at my house! I don't like the bright colors.

    I dunno if they changed the formulation... but man that glue was hard to get off! I ended up using something that.. well... wouldn't be too healthy if I swallowed it!

    Then I discovered that the metal outside of the carto got pretty dern hot without the wrapper! That's when I decided to heat-shrink it, and put the 901 tip on!

    good idea! I stick a flat tip into them so the hot metal isn't an issue for me.

    Are you saying that you found NHaler to be the cheapest?
    Today I received the adapter for my SD 901 from Vapor Country, and cartomizers from CigEasy which I found to be the cheapest over NHaler. Now let me tell you it took 5 puffs to get this cart going, it was 24 mg mint flavor, and it seems very inconsistent on the draw every other puff, or two. It is light, but has lots of flavor, most of the times it does compare to a ultra light analog, which would have to get use to all over again, because vaping the 510 is totally different, more of a denser vape, and better throat hit. But for sure I can tell you that the Nicotine is there in these cartomizers, was pretty nicotined out, and I use 24 to 36 mg in my 510. And I agree about 40 puffs to these carts. I am using a new fully charged 3.7 Volt, 1000mah, Li-ion battery in my SD. When my 510 adapter arrives for my 901, I will be able to try these carts on my 510 battery. Just refilled the mint cartomizer with puresmoker mint juice, I will let it sit, and try it tomorrow. Over all I do not think they are worth the money for the carts. PS I am vaping the RY4 now and this one really SUCKS for the vapor, and throat hit, this one was packaged in the foil and had a plug in the cart, now the mint came in a box without no plug ?, and guess what I finished that cart just now, ABOUT 20 PUFFS ONLY THAT BLOWS BIG TIME, maybe they did change up some of them?
