Are all 808 cartomizers the same?

[Senita]

Hi, still new to this so this might sound a bit confusing. I made the switch from V2 KR808D's to a Ego-t and tried the tank that came with it but did not like it, then I tried the Stardust and that was almost great but did not have the warm vapor I want. So I thought I'll go back to the carto's, I ordered 510 LR Dual coil cartomizers and also the LR Boge. While I was waiting for them to arrive I filled up my old V2 cartos and I am really liking the vapor, its warm and thick and gives good throat hit. When I received my order for the Dual coil and bogo it just wasn't the same, I keep going back to the V2 cartos. But they are going bad and I need new ones sooo here is where I was going with all this..V2 sells their cartos blank but a bit expensive for me, are all 808 cartos the same? Could I buy them cheaper?

Thank you

Most 808 cartos are in the 2.4 to 2.8 ohm range and made for the cig type batteries. I wanted the bottom coil of the V2, Volt, etc but in a lower resistance range for warmth and vapor production.

In the end, I've settled on Kanger 2.0 which come in a 510 thread and use an 808d1 to 510 adapter. Works great on 320 mah auto batts.

I've found 510 cartos to be much cheaper than 808's.

NO check out a place called vape in the cape. They sell horizontal Cardomizers. Work a thousand times better than a regular 808.

Thank you both, I definitely want to give both a try, I have never heard of a horizontal cartomizer. I'll post again with update

I had the exact same experience and the Kanger cartos are great on Egos

That should be vapin' in the cape.

Have you thought about trying clearomizers?

I haven't used a carto since I tried the fluxomizers from GotVapes. IMHO, they are 100x better than a carto. Check them out here:

I use the Smokeless Image cartomizers and haven't had a single problem with them so far.

I seem to remember seeing a dissection video showing that they have a cup to keep the fill off of the coil and help prevent burning, but I could be wrong.

smokeless image cartos will burn, I tookone appart one time that wasn't vaping well and sure enough 4 little burn maks on the filler

I actually tried one that looked very similar, it was a LR 510 XXXL Dual Coil SmokeTech Cartomizer for 510 and eGo Model eCigs - 1.5ohm & 2.5ohm

But the hit was tooo much lol I felt like my throat was about to rip, and it got so hot on certain spots, I was worried it might crack. Is the one I tried different from the FLüXomizer?
