So I don't know if it's because I'm vapping alot but when smoking analogs I finish one in like 40 seconds so lets say my inhaling power and speed is crazy. So since the first day I got my G6 I've used both batteries per day and since yesterday I've noticed that the battery is going haywire despite being fully charged. The blue light keeps blinking in and out when I'm vapping and it went out after like an hour of use yesterday. Also I've only been using one catomizers because the others I got are stuck with flavors I don't like and I have to pull real hard to get vapor. So I don't know it the catomizer thing is an issue of Halo per say or if I'm a noob and I don't know how to use it. I usually put 10-20 drops per day in my cato depending on much and how fast I'm vaping.

On a side note, I want to know if I can get catomizers from AltSmoke or CloudsofVapor since they offer significantly cheaper international shipping.

Thanks in advance guys!

I would conact Halo. They're a reputable supplier and I believe they have a 30 day warranty on their batteries, but I would contact them. Your batteries won't last a long time because they're small (about an hour per 100 mah) but they should last longer than an hour and not blink.

You can purchase empty KR808 cartomizers from them or any supplier that carries KR808 cartomizers- many suppliers do.

Of the two suppliers you mentioned, COV has KR808 cartos-

You could use 510 cartomizers. You would just need to get an adapter.

Somewhere out there
You maybe dragging too hard on the carto. Smoking is fast hard hits and vaping is slow easy draws more like smoking a cigar. Try easing up on your drag to easier draw and see if that helps. Do you manual or auto batts? The manuals work alot better since you don't have to draw on them much at all, autos take more. Good luck! bnrk

ok, awesome. wow so i'm looking at cartos on smokeless image and 8$ per carto seems quite expensive. is this the normal price range? i'm getting a bunch of juices from VV soon and I wan't to find an easier way to taste than to waste cartos, any suggestions? thanks

$8.95 is for a pack of 5 cartos....
That said I think the Kangers linked above work just well as the volt cartos.
Here they are a little cheaper:

KR808D-1 blank cartomizer - package of five black

I don't know but I'm not able to make new threads. I guess I have too many questions,

So I was wondering what you guys would recommend as the e-cig with the best battery life and voltage (this incides on vapor production right?) I've started off with a Halo G6 but I need more potency but I don't think a mod like a Provari or one of those things would work for me as I need a slim and portable e-cig. Thanks again! This forum has helped me ALOT

For me, the next step was a Kgo.
It is the next size larger than a slim.
It is about the size of a long narrow cigar and the battery last 4 times as long as a slim.
I wear mine around my neck on a lanyard at work and folks think it is a pen.

I bought a kit that came with atomizers for tasting e-liquids.
KGO kit1100mAh by SLB

Coupled that with some killer cartomizers.
Crystal Clear Vaping

Don't forget drip tips..... :)

OMG thank you so much. This is definitely worth the investment rather than buying new cartos for my G6. If only I had known before I even bought a G6. Would have saved me some money and headaches.

No problemo!

I've got a couple hundred dollars worth of KR808D-1 stuff here that has sat idle since I got my Kgo as well.
ECF steered me in the right direction too. :)

I have the G6 and no adaptor works to use 510s. I aslo had 2 batteries out of 5 die after a few months. They are just wonky. Get some standard res 808 boges and try them out. Hope this helps. OK done editing

If you are talking about starting a new thread that would be because you have more the 70 post.
You cannot start a new thread in the "New Members” section.
You can start Threads in any other section though. Like here General E-Smoking Discussion or as said any other.
Only exception would be here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/member-classifieds-swaps/
and here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/coops/
where you need to be verified.
