808-D questions (s) - Supply sources and clearomizer vs filled

[underice]

Hi all, fairly new to vaping. I got into it via gas station cigs and ended up with several 808 type batteries.

I'm gettig toward the end of my supply of cartomizers (pre-filled) and would like to just buy blanks so I get a better idea of the tastes without clashing flavors. (I bought a good varity of e-liquids to test).

I've spent a couple hours here looking for a good vendor, but I've run into a couple problems. Either a vendor with good reviews are out of stock, Madvapes for example. Or the vendor has some pretty sketchy reviews here. So the (long winded) question is where is a good place to buy 808-D empties?

Secondly, clearomizers. Are they a good option? They are in stock more often...

Sorry for the length here...confused newbie.

Hi -
I've found smokeless image to be by far the best 808-D supplier I've tried, both for batteries and blank cartridges. They tend to ship very quickly too. I'd highly recommend you try one of their sealed automatic batteries too - i've tried a lot of different ones (V2, V4l, and several others) and these are far and away the best (and most attractive!)

I haven't tried clearomizers though - interested to hear what others have to say!

Good Prophets - NEW Soft Tip GP808 Cartomizers for 808 or Kanger Cartomizers for 510 or 808

The blanks at V2, SmokelessImage, Bloog, or the WOW! cartos at Vapor4Life are all equally good as well.

Thanks, that brings up another issue I've had. Smokeless Image for example doesn't explicitly say they are for the 808 type. I've found that to be true on a couple other sites as well. It's certainly possible that I'm missing something basic about catomizers...

I too would be interested in general clearomizer opinions.

Smokeless Image, Elite Vaporworks, Bloog, Halo, V4l,

The first three (and maybe the fourth) have horizontal coil cartomizers which is an improvement to the horizontal style in function and vapor/flavor production. If you want to keep searching, look for kr808 horizontal coil cartomizers. But if you like different colors other than black, white or stainless best to stick with one of those four.

Smokeless image is 808, no worries. All but Halo only have 808s and one look at the picture will tell you. They only sell 510 and 808 and they call thier 808s g6. It's confusing but you are in the right spot to get unconfused.

 

[underice]

The confusing thing is that Smokeless Image, Vapor King, Vapor for life and Bloogplanet don't ID them as 808's (Elite Vaporworks is out of stock). Are all cartomizers 808's? Or adaptable with 808's?

 

[Charlz]

No not all cartomizers are 808s. 808s are the thread type. vapor King does identify but they sell multiple kinds. The rest specialize in the 808 thread. Elite does say too. It's under the "signature series 808" section. Even though they are OOS.

 

[underice]

As long as I know they only stock 808's then I'm good. Thanks! (I'm afraid looking at a picture isn't enough to spend money on, especially when I don't know what the other types look like.)

I'll go with Smokeless Image....Goodprophets have them cheap but cheap may not be a good thing in this case. Thanks!

Any thoughts on clearomizers? I'd love to see levels while I'm using an e-cig.

 

[Charlz]

Goodprophets is cheap and a trusted vendor. A lot of times you will find them cheaper than you can find them at the "specialty" shops. It's the same quality as the other ones selling horizontal coils. But again, if you want something more colorful, the specialty vendors are the only place to get them.

Smokeless Image has awesome customer service so you may be more comfortable with that.

Clearomizers can be leaky and fiddly. Just don't go for cheap generic ones like at madvapes. Sometimes it's worth a couple extra bucks. I don't use them anymore that much so I'm not the best one to respond.

 

[underice]

Thanks....I'll do some more searching for clearomizer info....placed order with Smokeless Image. Thanks for all the help!

Leaky and fiddly are not what I'm looking for. I already have a problem with sticky e-juice...

Hope you looked at this before you ordered. If not, maybe cancel the order and place it again?

Sadly I did not. I only ordered a couple packs so it's not a big deal. I will take a look and see if there's anything else I need though...thanks
