Are all kr808d-1's equal?

[Hinterscher]

I know that like the 510, there's several companies that sell the kr808d-1 under different names. Are they all the same or is the VK that everybody talks about really better or nhaler or any of the others? Or are they all the same thing with just different names?

 

[jlcanary]

same thing, different names!

 

[Hinterscher]

That's what I kinda thought..... Thanks!

I agree and disagree. The batteries, from my experience, are about the same, but the cartomizers are definitely not. I've ordered from Vapor4life (Vapor King), Cigeasy, and Mist-Stix. The vapor production, throat hit, and longevity of the cartos rank in that same order -- VK=Best, Cigeasy=good, Mist-Stix=okay. Just my experience!

I haven't ordered from Cigeasy yet, but I totally agree that VK carts are superior to Mist-Stix carts.

Are you referring to the flavor/liquid used in the cart being better, the atomizer performing better or both?

 

[Lightgeoduck]

FBs again? well I would have to say when it comes to cartimizers I would think price would be important.wouldn't you? I mean its the juice that would make the difference if the batts are the same, and if that's so I would pay less for a product with first time "bad" vape and then refill that cheaper cart with my favorite juice... or get blanks and fill them with the same said juice...IMO

Both flavor AND performance IMO.

Very true, if it was just the juice. ( I wouldn't say a "bad" vape, just not as "good".) Price was why I ordered the different brands, but even after refilling them, they just weren't as good. My next experient will be with blanks.

I've got several different items for my KR 808D 1. It's kind of a VK hybrid now. I've gotten carts from several vendors and to me they are all the same. I like the coffee's and the Marlboro flavors the best. Coffee vaps a bit better, but the taste of the marlboro is still 2nd to none for me. I've also added some vanilla and coconut to the mix and and can get a great taste and vapor. That's with the batteries. With a pass-thru they all vap pretty well at 5v, but I lose taste and I'd rather have the flavor then tons of vapor. Your going to have to experiment a bit. As far as price this will never begin to approach what my analog habit was so at this point it's not a consideration. Analog free since Aug 22.

I found that carts in foil packaging are not as good as in paper packs. Moreover, they are really not good. I bought couple months ago few packs of R4, cola, srtwbry, 555 don't remember where (nhaler or miststix) and they got nasty taste after 15-20 drags. VK is the best anyway except price, but considering Steve's suprise bonuses I got with last 2 orders it is pretty good too.

According to one of the KR808D-1 suppliers: all cartomizers come from the same factory, filled with the same Dekang liquid at the factory.

However, since I purchased my very first e-cig (KR808D-1) back in June, both the batteries and carts have been improved and upgraded several times. The carts last longer and it is harder to get that burnt taste that I had experienced back then (which is why I switched away from the KR808D-1).

If that is correct, what might explain perceived differences among various suppliers' carts is when they were manufactured. I believe some shipments sit in Customs, sometimes for months.

I bought 5 kits and a bunch of carts from a supplier in china,some of the carts were great some not so good same flavors but some tasted better than others.The price was very good pm me if you want more info

According to one of the KR808D-1 suppliers: all atomizers come from the same factory, filled with the same Dekang liquid at the factory.

This is correct if you search different suppliers forums meticulously you will see that there are different perceptions of cartomizers at different times...Also if you look at flavors you will see that all the available flavors are pretty similar but have different names on the sites, but if you buy them and compare they are the same markings...Ex: Peach and Peach Cobbler....SOme people will swear that others are better or worse for whatever reason..Maybe to justify paying more or whatever but there is only one factory that makes true KR808D-1 carts...One supplier recently ran a sale on BAD carts yet also claims to have better carts...2 different factories??? Or two different runs??? You decide...There are also several different models od connectors that have been made...The only current battery being manufactured in auto is 2 hole...In manual 3 hole unslotted....All others are old battery stock that was either left over or stuck in customs...

 

[crand]

In my experience there is absolutely no difference in batteries or carts. About the only meaningful variations I've found is the amount of time it takes for the order to hit my mail box.
Try them all then stick with the brand you like the best

 

[jboze]

Agree with Don and Drew. The variation of the carts is due to their age(date of manufacture), storage, etc. It has nothing to do with which reseller has better carts. They all get them from the same Kanger factory. They're all filled with Dekang juice, unless the seller got blanks and filled with their own flavors.

 

[Dr. Russell Fell]

yeah, i don't know where people are getting the idea that cartomizers perform any different from one brand to another. i've used mist-stix and eastmall cartomizers, and they all worked about the same: good vapor production and ridiculous throat kick.

 

[Drewsworld]

I don't know why people are so gullible, or maybe stubborn or whatever...There are people arguing to no avail...I speak via email to the factory rep almost daily and he was literally LOLing me last night saying how stupid people will act...People just want to feel like they are right I guess????

 

[Snarkyone]

No your wrong Drew.

EDIT: I just had to do that, lol!

I agree with you Drew, people want to tout their personal favorite no matter what the case may be and the always want to feel they are in the right. On a side note, did you receive my PM about my order that was placed on 10-9-09?

 

[DonDaBoomVape]

Well, that provides some pretty good confirmation of what that supplier said to me. [It wasn't Drew, by the way, but the "less difficult" guy <-- Get it?

All KR808D-1s are created equal (paraphrasing Thomas Jefferson) ... but some are more equal than others (George Orwell). That greater equality is claimed by some (through hype) and executed by others (via care in selection and personalized service).
