Okay so I read and read great things about the Greencig carto vapo production and I finally broke down and bought a greencig to 808 adapter. First let me say the draw is ok and the vapor production is good, unfortunately the Cherry cartos tasted like cough medicine and was not enjoyable at all. I will chalk the cartos up to a 15 dollar learning experience as I do not intend to take the time necessary to refill or mod the carts. I decided to try the adapter with a standard KR808D-1 carto and due to the air flow hole the draw is very smooth like a straw. The vapor is about 1.5 as much as I get without the adapter so at least i found a way to get insane vapor and without compromising taste or throat hit. The only drawback is with so much vapor produced the juice goes much quicker but I guess you can not have it all. I plan to try it with some HV liquid as it is intended to burn slower and will let you all know how it goes.:cool:

My main reason for switching to the Greencig carts was the fact that no matter how careful one is with other cartomizers, because of their construction they will begin burning the interior materials, and I don't like the idea of inhaling burning anything now that I'm off cigarettes. The construction of the greencig carts is completely different, so this isn't a problem.
I agree that most of the flavors in the greencig carts are less than enjoyable (the one exception being the initial batch of mint that I got, which were quite pleasant, but subsequent batchs ranged from awful to unvapable), but I was willing to work with them a bit, because overall I truly enjoy the fact that the cartomizers last for hours, and produce a very satisfying experience. Once Drew at Nhaler gets his own liquids loaded in I plan to order more, but for now I just reuse the ones I have.
I ultimately got to the place where I would invest an hour or two each week to open my collection of carts, clean the fibers and refill all of them with my preferred liquid choices. As the carts themselves seem to last for extended periods (months, in fact) I find my weekly investment well worth it for me.
I understand though that each of us has different tolerance levels, and respect the fact that not everyone wants to be bothered. I wish you a long and successful run with whatever models and systems work best for you.

What adapter, and what are you putting it on?

Ive had great luck with the kr808 cartos.V4L has a huge selection of really great flavors and they seem to be refillable numerous times for me.Much less hassle than a 3 piece unit.Just keep trying,everyone is different and you need to find what works for you!!
I know I am a proud V4L member but after lurking on some others I heard Greencig cartos which are 2 piece as well give more vapor. I will say with the greencig to adapter on my VK batts with my VK carts my vapor production has almost doubled.:D

It appears to be a matter of personal taste and preference, although I do think an objective evaluation of the vapor production can be made. On the GreenCig carts I've tried from both NHaler and LeCig (on an unaltered Kr8 automatic battery), the vapor far exceeds that of Kr8 carts (it even is somewhat better than my 501).

Virtually no throat hit (which also applies to my experience of the 510) and a smoother flavor (not as intense), which I happen to prefer. I'm not too crazy about the "Western" (purchased from LeCig); I did like the "Menthol" (purchased from NHaler).

All the carts were manufactured by Green Technologies, of course. Not sure whether Drew influenced what was put into those carts I received from him a couple months ago.

And they all taste good when I put good juice in them. Since they don't deliver throat hit anyway, I use 0mg candy flavors like mint chocolate chip (from Tasty Vapor). Yummy!

I've dissected quite a few of mine, and have yet to find any noticeable evidence of burning filler. I rotate through 2 or 3 a day, making sure to swap out when the taste changes a bit.

We have similar tastebuds Para. For me, only the V4L cartos don't have that underflavor. I really can't imagine others not tasting that, unless that's the only thing they've had.

Yeah I first vaped it and was like ohh this isn't so bad then about the 4th draw and I was like ughhh... The adaptor fits the KR8 carto perfect though and it does increase the vapor production significantly. It was definately worth the 12 dollars.:)
