We need to order blank cartomizers, wondering if all 808 cartomizers are created equal or if suppliers get them from diff manufacturers? Do they all produce the same or are there any specific "brand" of cart better/different than others?
are all 808 cartomizers created equal?

I recommend Vapor4Life cartoz. They just taste a whole lot better and has a good TH and they have none of the perfumey taste some DK cartomizers have. After that you just refill with whatever juice is your favorite. I like NHaler High Voltage 12mg because it blows clouds of vapor and it tastes good too.
well all blank KR808s are the same IMO the only difference would be if get old stock or new stock... but most of the suppliers here have new stock... I am vaping one of my blank ones from cigeasy and using juice from tasty vapor 50/50 and I think it is doing just as well as my other blankos... and that's the best part of blankos YOUR choice of juice
of course you get the dud carto from time to time and that can never be helped

I finally burned out one of my 36mg carts from Vaporkings, and figured I'd take it apart to see how they're constructed inside. I found out what failed, the atomizer wire had broken off at the edge of the solder joint to the center electrode. Maybe I broke it from trying to re-center the tube like everybody says to do. I'm not to concerned, since I refilled the cart like 4 times before it failed.
What concerns me VERY much is this:
DOES THE SOLDER USED FOR THE ATTY WIRE CONNECTION CONTAIN LEAD?8-o8-o
If it does, I'm quitting this and going back to analogs, or cold turkey. I get enough heavy metals in my system from working on cars every day.

Almost certainly not. Most solder is lead free these days it seems like. I would be very shocked if it wasn't.
Go to Radio Shack and check out the solder, even silver solder contains some lead except for those labeled lead-free. I'm not one to assume anything, in my business assumptions can be dangerous (racing).
The 808 that I got had a ROHS certification printed on the manual. Granted, they could be lying, but I'm pretty convinced that there's no lead in there. If you know somebody who has a GC/MS machine kicking around you can find out for sure!
All solder questions aside, I do like the empty cartomizers I ordered from Midwest Vapor... they're white (so I can write my flaves on them) and they're $7 a 5-pack (which is about $2-$3 less than other places)...
And they seem to work just fine...

That's not true... I'm not talking about choosing one vendor over another - but multiple manufacturers are now getting in on the 2 piece thing.
I believe LeCig now has non KR stuff (not sure if that includes cartos but his new batts are non-Kanger), GreenCig makes cartos that are very different but compatible with the KR808 and EastMall makes their own cartos too...
With the growing popularity of this model I think it's about to get pretty confusing as to who makes what.
I have 25 blanks from EM in transit. My order finally got to NY today. I paid $25.00. Can't beat that price imho. They are black however. I would have peferred white. But I can still write on them with a pilot silver or gold pen.
if the cartomizer is a "KR" then it is Kanger
if the cartomizer is a D-2 aka E-9 then it's from e-cig.com aka Cixi E-cig
Eastmall is not a manufacturer - it's just another retailer, just like nhaler or v4l, etc.

Has anyone tried both the Kanger and e-cig.com ones? How do they compare?

I've been looking at the cartomizers, and have been wondering if they would work with my 510. Will they work directly with the 510 model, or perhaps work with an adapter of some sort? If so, how long do they last, as compared to the standard 510 atomizers?
Thanks for your insight and help.

You can get an adapter from AltSmoke.com. They only last between 3-20 refills approx. but they are cheaper than 510 attys. They also hold more juice than a 510 cart. Definitely worth checking out, they're much better on-the-go and I like them at home to. Haven't touched my 510 in 2 weeks now since I switched.
The 901 battery fits but does not draw unless you leave it slightly loose. I use an adapter that is really just a 901 extension tube used to allow the 901 manual battery to fit the charger. I drill a very, very small hole in the side of the tube with a Dremel to allow air in.
