"808 eGo" = vGo = X2 = Triton?

[Vapo Marx]

I work in the audiovisual/electronics field and I'm used to dealing with a bunch of different connector types but e-cig battery threading is giving me fits. As mentioned elsewhere, I'm an 808 user who's looking to upgrade his setup a bit without going to a new threading (yet). My 808 cartos/clearos work fine on my Triton battery, although they look a little funny due to the difference in diameter. I've got a couple of eSmart batteries on the way and these also accept 808 heads, and I noticed an "808 eGo" battery at Smoktech that's a bit cheaper than the Triton battery but looks an awful lot like it. So anyway, are "808 eGo", vGo, etc. really the same connector?

I still have all of my 808 X2's from Smokeless Image, and I bought an 808 threaded VV battery from Nhaler a long while back, they both are interchangeable with the 808/eGo threaded delivery systems I have.

I personally have never tried the Triton battery (since those are fairly new on the scene) but from what I have read here in the forums, the formula in your Posts is correct and all of these should be interchangeable with the delivery systems.

Hope this helps!

I got away from 808 early on. 510 is pretty much the standard anymore. With the 510 you can use almost any equip and buy from many suppliers. I found 808 limiting in that I had to stay with 1/2 vendors and when they are out you wait.

In theory, yes. However, I have seen some ego type batteries with 510 threading on random websites mislabled as vgo. When in doubt, contact the vendor. A decent vendor should have no problem confirming for you. Smokeless image has all 808 stuff and I have a couple X2 batteries that still occasionally make it in to the rotation even though I have pretty much moved on to 510 gear. Vapor4Life is also another great company that carries 808 gear. I haven't personally tried any of there ego style batteries (I purchased my first cigalike starter kit from them) but I can attest to their excellent customer service.
