I'm new at this and have only used the KR808d1 but I have won a 510. I having been looking for 510 cartomizers. Why are they so much cheaper than the 808's and why aren't there that many options for them? Just kinda curiouse........thanks

Don't know why they are less expensive. Maybe since it is a slightly larger market there is a savings due to greater volume?
Not as many choices? I must be rather 510-hidebound as I find the number of choices to be mind boggling. Resistances all over the spectrum, vertical or horizontal coil, single or dual or triple coil, different fillers, rebuildable types, and even different coil materials make the choices quite vast.
I just ordered some Stormy tank cartos and some Iken Mega dual coil cartos to try out. Have enjoyed the Ikenvape's Gold V2 LR cartomizers, but have never been a fan of the more popular Boge cartomizers no matter what resistance they were. (and the Stormy tank cartomizer isn't something I'd consider cheap, but the rebuildable feature was neat and I thought holding over 3ml would be nice.)
I will have to check out the options for the 808 and see if there is a good reason to screw on one of my adapters to my 510 threads and give them a go. (Other option is to buy an adaptor to convert your new 510 to match the threads of your existing cartomizers.)

Another factor that might be relevant: The typical Kr8 cartomizer is prefilled with e-liquid. The typical 510 carto is not. With Kr8 cartos you're paying for the e-liquid ... and, if it is good e-liquid, it's worth it.
When you say that there are not "that many options for" 510 cartomizers, if you mean prefilled 510 cartos, I agree with you. If you mean 510 cartomizers in general (including unfilled), I very much agree with Hoosier (although I'd like to hear more about triple-coils didn't know about those).
If you have a regular 510 battery (rather than a 650+ mAh fat batt like the eGo), you probably should stick with the regular resistance cartomizers. "LR" (i.e., low-resistance, typically 2.0 ohms or less) is intended for 450+ mAh batts. A regular 510 batt is only 180 mAh (the XL/Mega 510 batt is 280 mAh). LiteCigUSA is an inexpensive source for Joye, Boge, and SLB 510 cartos. Hoosier has told you about IkenVape. MadVapes carries Bauway (and others).
Otherwise, go with Hoosier's recommendations ... and add Smok Tech Mega Dual Coils to the list (e.g., $9/five-pack from LiteCigUSA).
I do not recommend using your Kr8 cartomizers on 510 batteries. They are designed for the 3.6-3.7V Kr8 batteries and their performance probably would disappoint on the 3.2V 510 battery. You can try it out cheaply enough, with a $1 510-to-808/910 adapter from Good Prophets.
FYI: "Cart" is used as the abbreviation for cartridge (those things that ineffectively try to deliver e-liquid to atomizers). "Carto" is the typical abbreviation for cartomizer. Here's one reason why this is of more than just academic interest: I know about cartos, but I abandoned carts long ago. Almost didn't bother looking at this thread, since I didn't think I could be of much help.
