808D-1 Cartomizer on 510/eGo - Really Nice!

I already know this can be done because I'm doing it. But, being kind of new to cartos, I have questions.

A while back, while ordering 510/eGo cartomizers from Litecigusa, I somehow managed to click the wrong thing and got a couple boxes of the KR808D-1 Premium LR cartomizers. I decided not to send them back, but made a note to get an 808-510 converter eventually. When I finally got one, I was really delighted with the result--BEST carto experience I've had. With the cap removed and no drip tip (i.e., tailpiping), the draw, temperature, and delivery are all really pleasing, and I've had something like a week of consistent performance without doing anything except dripping more juice in.

OK--so I'm wondering whether it's so good just because it's that Premium model or more specifically because it's a converted 808. I could also see where maybe the addition of the converter to the mix might be contributing a positive effect on airflow. I haven't tried the 510 version. If folks think it being an 808 is contributing to the pleasure, I'll lay in some more converters, stick with it, and recommend it to everybody.

Beats me, but I also really like 808 LR. My favorite is the vaporsetc 808 LR on Riva, though NHaler's new Jumbo 808 LR, at 2 ml capacity, are also quite nice (though you do end up with a pretty long PV -- Jumbo are standard width, but long).
For native 510, I like the Boge 2 ohm cartos.

Oh great....thanks guys. Have GOT to try 2ml 808 cartos.
Sometimes I should just stay off this forum.

I like that this particular setup vapes so nicely without a cap or a drip tip, in part because the overall unit isn't so darn long.

But a quick attempt to attach it to a 510 sized 5V pass-through didn't seem to give a tight enough connection to fire reliably (although I understand 5V and LR aren't a good combo anyway).
