Already looking to get more KR808 batteries...which one?

[Charlz]

Any chance someone could do a pic with a 650 echo beside a 65 mm kr8??

saw one somewhere, I'll (try to) find it. It really isn't the length so much as the width. It's a cigar but it really isn't as scary as it sounds. The echo is the only thing I've found to match the ease of the 808 cig styles bhile still giving the performnce of a big batt.

ok, I took a moment out of my day of busy laziness to take a couple of crappy shots with my camera phone.

Pic 1 shows an echo carto to the left then a 650mah echo battery vs the 65mm kr808d batterynext to a standard sized 808 carto. behind it is the larger 808 battery for reference

difference in length is about length of threads

this one shows the echo 3ml cart and mouthpiece vs the 1ml (aprox capacity?) of the standard 808


this is everything assembled with the echo cart mouthpiece attached


and this one is just for fun, although they both function nicely

Hey Carlz tank you very much.. I thought the echo was supposed to be the size between the kr8 and ego...

 

[Charlz]

fully assembled, the 650mah echo is only 1-2mm shorter that the 650ego. It just feels smaller somehow and lighter without the manual switch. It will put out identical vapor to your 65mm just last longer and the bigger carts have more filler and tend to mute flavor slightly although the echos are the best I' ve tried Start to think in terms of mah. 65mm=180mah (about 2hrs use) 78mm=about 280mah (about 3 hrs use) xl and elite=380mah (about 4 hrs use) 650= about 7 hrs, etc......

If you want to try larger, first try the 78mm and get used to it. When you go from there, I'd recommend the elite, which adds width instead of length. Those 380mah skinny's will poke someone's eye out.

All of these batteries run around 3.7-4.2v The (standard) ego only runs at 3.2-3.4v so if you wind up with a 510 style ego, you will have to venture into LR cartomizers. 2.0 (like the 510 boge 2.0) seems to hit that same sweet spot at a standard kr808 but LR carts shorten the run time of the battery.
(It's all about Volts vs ohms to equal watts- there are plenty of posts that go into detail here but that's it in a simplistic package for you)

nono ive been there, done that, and know all about it. Volts, mAh, etc. . : ) Have 3 fatbatts and dont like'em. Tried a couple of mods, didnt like'em.. Bloogs 65 mm is 220 and lasts about 3 hours of moderate vaping. Thats impressive ; )

Im only interested in the types that are between kr8 and ego in with and as short as ego or 65 kr8... as a backup. Thought maybe the echo was cus hadnt heard any specs.. or i didnt notice... But thanks for your help ; )

 

[Charlz]

if you find one let me know.
I think the elite 808 is the only other option right now and it's closer to the 78mm. Probably what I'm getting when I need a new skinny type. Maybe with all the advancements in autos lately, they'll come out with an elite auto by the time I want one (fingers crossed). That would shave a couple mms off

From left to right - V2Cigs Long batt with V2 carto, Elite 808 with Elite 808 carto, Elite 808 with V2 carto, V2Cigs standard batt with V2 carto. Hope this helps a little

im glad you posted that spaceballs. i have been wondering how the elite stacks up in terms of size. how would you rate its performance?

 

[Kemosabe]

The best KR808 vaping experience I've found is The Elite.

Go here:

THE ELITE 808

You'll be really happy.

ive been happy with my bloog and volt (but especially the bloog). would you say that the elite is noticably better than the bloog?

I have to say that I have yet to find a battery that I love as much as the Vapor 4 Life Diamond batteries. Great draw, great life. (Don't worry about the bling thing - it is not as girly as it sounds.) With their frequent sales it is not very expensive to just try - I don't think you would be disappointed.

I'm impressed.

Ok, so I am now using gen 1 V2 808s. The standard cartos for that are low resistance. Will those work fine and not fry anything? I ask because I love the V2 cartos.

 

[SirVette]

The Elite battery is the same length as 280 mAh KR808 battery & lasts over 2 times as long!

So I can use low resistance V2 cartos with the Elite? And is it 3.7? If so, I think I'm sold.

 

[Kemosabe]

would you be able to compare these to Bloog, Volt, or V2?

are you sure V2 is low resistance? i was under the impression they were standard resistance.

[Charlz]

Well....you can use lr at your own risk. I use them on on a battery I no longer care if I kill. Really, on a regulated 3.7v you shouldn't go lower than 1.8. I use 2.0 on kr8s that I care about due to variances +/-.02 ohms typically.

That being said, folks keep using LR on their standard egos which run lower than 3.7 and those new resurrectors for egos run at 1.7ohms sooooooooo.........

 

[Cyrus Vap]

I thought the issue with LR was the mAh (need 450 or greater), not the Voltage?

what do you notice in terms of difference, comparing the bloog to the volt?

Actually, the V2Cigs cartos are rated between 2.6-3.0 ohm. That comes straight from V2.....http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...eres-carto-specs-isnt-listed.html#post4867932

The Elite is unregulated and runs 4.2V on a full charge and dwindles down from there. I think it dies at 3.3-3.4V, but don't quote me on that.

YES, you can absolutely use V2 cartos on the Elite. They work incredibly well together, in fact. The Elite is similar to a long V2 battery, just shortened and fattened. It's good for people trying to avoid looking like Audrey Hepburn on the cover of Breakfast at Tiffany's.

^^^Check post #47 in this thread for pics of the V2 compared to the Elite, with both types of cartos on the Elite.^^^

According to V2Cigs, they are rated between 2.6-3.0 ohm.

The mah dictates how long a charge will last. If you put a LR cartomizer on it, the battery will be depleted faster. That is why people recommend using higher mah batts, to compensate for the quicker discharge. If you want to use a LR carto on a mini batt, go ahead. You will be charging it every 30 minutes, though. As a bonus, the batt may even turn into a firecracker! (doubtful though) BOOM!

Also, LR cartos will have an effect on the battery's overall lifespan. LR cartos put more strain on the batt, and it will die a quicker death. Kinda like going from one pack a day of analogs to two packs a day.
