Hope I don't ruffle any feathers, but I think this is the appropriate place to post this.

The only thing I like about it is the concept. I have two from V4L (one's a manual), and two from Vapor Kings. They're all the same. There is almost NO vapor. I guess I'm spoiled with my Green Smoke (tons of vapor) but it's the tiniest plume (or none at all) when I exhale. I am just so disappointed with it.

I'm going to try Greencig, and if that doesn't do it I'm going to stick with my Green Smoke. The only thing I don't like about GS is that the throat hit is very weak. I hope I can find the best of both worlds.

Ive vaped on autos, manuals and passthrus using pretty much all flavors of carts I can get my hands on.

If you aren't getting vapor, then something is wrong, either with what you are doing, or with your equipment.

Outside of my raspberry carts, I get awesome vapor from my stuff.

I get plenty of vapor from mine, some flavored cartos give more then others, but to be honest taste and throat hit is more important to me than vapor lol. I heard someone say they add a few drops of VG to the cartos and it makes more vapor, you might try that.

Also, the longer you hold the vapor in, the less vapor will be in the exhale. That is just the nature of vaping. The longer it remains in your lungs, the more the vapor disperses. Makes it kind of handy for "stealth" vaping. Good luck, and hope you find something that works for you.

I've tried VG...several times, letting it sit for a few minutes, up to overnight. No change, really.

I only hold it in for a second. I get vapor if I'm not inhaling, but other than that...it's measly.

Well I guess something is wrong with me then, because like I said I have 4 from two different suppliers.

I've tried to drag slowly and lightly, makes no difference.

A "lack of vapor" (it wasn't really a "lack".. it was just less than I was hoping for) was my primary complaint with the KR808D-1 style PV when I got mine. Compared to what I had grown accustomed-to, the vapor just wasn't there. Flavors were better though.. reminiscent of a 901.

I refilled my cartomizers with VG liquid (ECOpure) and.. as one would expect.. the vapor production increased. I personally consider the vapor production with the VG to be in the "adequate" range. But... that's a personal and subjective thing.

Yeah, what can ya do.

I mean, for me, I just couldn't get used to my other models, yet thousands swear by them, so I am just one guy.

Shame that it doesn't seem to work for you though.

One last piece of advice, if you have an auto battery, try and make sure the holes on the battery are lined up with the notches on the cart. That took me a few days to figure out, and really helped me out.

If not, hey, at least you tried for sure. Whats most important is that you don't wanna go back on analogs.

    I agree 100%. My 510 pumps out a lot more vapor (KR vapor is a bit wimpy for me too). Throat hit is about the same. Kr definitely wins with taste. And for on the go convenience there is no question the KR wins on that one.

    I honestly prefer my 510 since I rarely go anywhere. With that said if I am ever out, the KR is with me. :)

    I don't care about throat hit or vapor production. But if that's a big issue..go for another type for that. For flavor I stick with my KR or my 901.
    I think that's why people have so many types..different things for different moods! Choices are always great!

    Happy Halloween!

    I use both KR808 and 510's. I wouldn't say I don't like them, but for now they aren't my fave. to me, KR carts have too little vapor and are too harsh, it helps to refill them with high quality juice, and I use them occasionally.
    I really love my KR808 batts with greencig carts, especially with whistle tips... but I still tend to go to my 510's most of the time. I love the monster plumes of vapor! Everyone has a unique preference, and ya know..it's all good! Life wouldn't be very much fun if we all were the same. I appreciate that we have so many wonderful options and choices so we all are able to find our own "sweet-spot" vapes, and isn't it exciting to think about the improvements we will get to enjoy as the technology evolves?

    The KR fits a niche for me and that's about it. The throat hit makes up for the pitiful amount of vapor, but maybe I'm just spoiled by my 510 Chuck. Im definitely looking forward to the 510-carto adapter...

    would a 510>901 adapter from altsmoke coupled with a 901 cart-zer adapter from vapor country = 510 chuck + cartzers ?

    I know, I don't get it either. Granted, vapor is not my first priority but I do get quite a lot from my KR, especially with the 0 nic or low nic cartos. It's a puzzler...

    Wormwood just posted this video and I noticed that the amount of vapor he is getting in this is about what I get pretty consistantly. Do you get less then this and need more?
