Still, there is no need for an LR on a VV PV. More current draw, shorter batt charge cycle times, maybe shortened batt life, and no improvement in performance with all that headroom available up to well over 5 volts. Besides, I intend to buy an Infinity. Why mess with cartos under 2.5 ohms at all? They are great for standard 808's and the like.

Two questions:

Any idea when the 3 ohm mega 808's might come in?

Why is it that all E Cig suppliers won't take orders when stuff is out of stock? I'd just as soon be able to place an order, let it go on backlog. I mean backlog is generally a good thing for most businesses, and I as a customer don't have to keep checking for availabilty. Is it because the supply chain is shaky? Even if that is the issue, refunds can always be made. Just a generic question. I can understand not taking say, juice orders, but hardware should be easy to backlog I would think. Additionally, for something that has been out of stock for a while, isn't it better to have a backlog que? Instead of first come first serve once an item is back in stock? And with a backlog you can turn inventory immediately. It just seems like it would make sense for everybody.

Absolutely, There is no reason but I was just answering the OP's question.


I can't wait for these Mega 510s. Something tells me they are going to be great.

Yes sir, they're officially in transit and should take no more than a week.

You do have quite a few good points there Matches, but there are also negatives which is definitely a deal breaker. Not counting that I refuse to accept payments for a product that I do not yet have as a principle, but the complications that are being risked. Such as, as our popularity is ever growing, the product comes into a severely high demand making product hard to estimate how fast it would fly off the shelves. Now say If i were to accept preorders and 50 customers line up with 10 a piece, yes I will be able to afford the payment, but the chance of the shipment getting seized is still possible. If the worst case scenario happens then as Logrus was saying the payment gateway would have a pretty big problem on thier hands not to mention the records that I would have to dig through to give each individual a refund and all the while losing out from all the charge backs from the CC companies. Also using the refund system can take a week to two making customers even more angry as they thought their shoe-in plan was solid. We all lose is the bottom line if a problem were to occur and the business that we're in foreign products should never be sold till officially in hand. Devices are another story but even then there are risks. Honestly I never heard of this practice till stepping into the e-cig world and there is a reason for it. As we keep progressing and finally get a constant level in which I can gauge, then we can have a solid consistency, but as of now, it is very unpredictable. Chinese new year is officially over so we're going to sailing on smooth waters for quite sometime. :)

See RED for replies :)

Makes sense Iken... it really does boil down to a supply system that can be less than reliable, and that one reason alone is a deal breaker. I hadn't even thought about siezures. Most businesses LOVE to have a backlog, but that is when they have near 100% control over supply. They have a very high confidence level as to when product will become shippable. (Been there, done that). Thanks for the reply.

Switched, I am a stockpiler. In this particular case, I've only been vaping for 2 weeks, and only heard about the mega 808's a week ago, about when they ran out of stock. So I am champing at the bit, having not had the chance to stock up on them. When I do order, it'll be for 20. I won't be without them again if I can help it.

Ahhhh yes withdrawals :wink: The reason why Isaac always runs out is because A. the quality cannot be beat and B. folks acquire them by the doz or more. I just simply gave up to acquire multiple varieties at one time (shipping here ain't cheap) so, when he has 'em in stock I just order :) I have yet to run out of anything and I have been using Isaacs equip. since last July.

But, I will conceded from a newcomer to the IKV world it could be frustrating in the begining.

I ordered my first Ikenvape KR808's on December 11th and then ordered more a few times with my last order being this morning. On this order, I have both the 2 Ohm and 3 Ohm's coming. I like the 3 Ohm's on my Buzz and my wife prefers the 2 Ohm's on her Defender.

We're in the process of using up and phasing out every other cartomizer we have and will only be purchasing the Ikenvape 808 Mega's from here on. I think that between my wife and I we have tried every other major carto on the market and these are heads and shoulders above the rest in longivity, flavor and vapor.

This is a fine product and I'll be recommending them to everyone who will listen to me.

Haha you NEED to sign up for the Newsletter! They hit the shelves Saturday night and the 510 Mega's are just about spent, but there are reserves and the LR Mega 808's are still here.

Yep. I got the newsletter and went straight to the site to order! But, neither told me what type of construction the cartos were. I really don't like the Joye type cartos, so just had to make sure.

Are ALL of your cartos this style?

I didn't notice an option on the 808's for LR or regular... I hope the ones I ordered are the higher resistance ones... This is for my Buzz mod.

Yeah, the one KR808 Mega is recommended for 3.4-4.2V and the stock number is SKU:EMGACRT808LR. So I'd guess from that it is an LR carto
and the other is for 3.4-5V. I assume this would make them LR and Regular but perhaps not. I think I was looking more at the 4.2V and 5V and not the fact that both start at 3.4

For my wife and I, with my Buzz and her Defender, we find these to be excellent. Maybe we'd better let someone else tell us if these are indeed LR and Regular cartos. I'm not an expert on this.

Isaac, the packing list doesn't say if it's the 2 ohm or the 3 ohm... neither does the box. I am planning on getting the LR version too for my 808 batts, but I'll have to make sure I don't get them mixed up! I've got a couple soaking in some juice now, I'll give them some time to wick. Is that necessary? They seem to wick very nicely.

Them are great cartos T but the Fusion is still top dog in my book. You should give them a try.

Oh and my cow is happy but she don't vape. She just lays around sunning herself in her bikini.
