I am very satisfied so far with my simple battery from V2 cigs. I am very interested in all of the options possible with the 501 threads, but I cannot afford some joyetech eGo or anything else for quite sometime. That is why I'm wondering if this adapter exists. I will list what few stats I know about my battery:


Length-140mm
Voltage-4.2
Rating-380mah
Diameter-9.25mm/0.37"
KR808-D1??


I have an automatic and a manual battery, same stats. If this adapter exists, great. If it exists, but is not at all a good idea, this advice would be appreciated and taken into consideration.

Thank you

If the threading is KR808 as your specs state, then all you need is a 808/901 to 510 adapter, you can get these at lots of venders, madvapes, gotvapes, rtdvapor, and thats just to name a few.
Just keep away from low resistance stuff as it can easily fry smaller batteries, and always use caution when using adapters, if you screw them in too tight and the insulator gets squashed you can cause a short also frying your batteries.
Also make sure you get one with an open center post or it wont work on the auto battery.

Yes you can use other heads, by the use of an adapter as DJ Xy says.

Or, maybe you could just get refill liquid, as it may be less hassle. The V2 is one of the all-time best-performing minis because it has a reasonable-quality battery and, above all, an excellent carto: the Kanger horizontal-coil carto, which is the best carto of all the 35mm regular style units. The KR8 with horizontal coil carto produces the most vapor of any of the minis (others sell it apart from V2 of course, they just rebrand it).

Also, there is no way you can improve the performance of a tiny battery like that. For example you can fit a KR808-to-510 adapter, a 510 atomizer, and a driptip, which will give you a slightly better quality of vape than the carto - but with less vapor and also slightly cooler. If you use an LR atty it will work better but probably kill the battery in a short time - which doesn't sound good in your current situation.

So it might be best to stay as you are, get some good refill liquids from other vendors, and wait until the beer coupon situation allows you to go for a full upgrade.

There is a reason people use bigger batteries, it's because it is the only realistic way to improve performance. Wait till you have enough fun tickets to get bigger batts. A good mid-size model will give you 100% more vapor than the V2, and a good APV is 200% better. It's mostly down to the battery size in the end, because a bigger battery has far more potential (no electrical pun intended :) ).
