I have a lesser known ecig, Bedford Slims, I was wondering what other cartridges were compatible with its battery as Bedford Slims don't have as wide an array of flavors as the other larger companies.
Battery/Cartridge Compatability?

You need to find out if the battery is a ; 510, 808-901, 801. It's prob. an 808 but find out for sure first. The most popular and common battery and atty connector is a 510 and you will find the most compatibilty with it. I think the second most pop. is 808/901 . Good luck!
Thank you, if I just emailed the company would they tell me or would I need to find out another way? I know the thread diameter is 8mm, and 4mm in length. I'm not sure if that helps, or does battery type deal with how the electricity works.
Not sure how the company would respond to your e-mail question, but my guess would be something like "our batteries are only compatible with Bedford Slims cartridges", which may be true but likely isn't. Worst case, you should be able to find a coupler to fit your Bedford Slims to cartridges of your choosing.
When folks talk about threading, they're speaking of the physical dimensions of the thread, yes. Though with regards to "the way the electricity works", you do need to be careful with polarity when charging your batteries - so if you find a brand of cartridges that will fit into your Bedford Slims battery, you _SHOULD NOT_ also use that brand's charging devices to charge your Bedford Slims battery.
This will help:
Does your battery have male or female threading? Do the cartridges from Bedford Slims have male or female threading? In other words: do you screw the cartridges into the battery, or the battery into the cartridges?

To those wiser than me about this kind of thing, the following video shows a battery from this brand name uncoupled from the cartridge, at about the 45second to 1 minute mark.
To me, it does not look like a 510 as the battery is the male coupling... anyone else with a thought?

Ok, I got a reply. It's apparently a 510 with 808 threading. How would I go about this now?
808 threads means it's compatible with 808 cartomizers, CE3s, clearos etc. These could work with it: Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic Cigarette | Refill Cartridges
If you buy blanks you can fill them with any juice. I'd avoid high VG tho - it clogs up cartos.

You shouldn't need a 510 battery if it's an 808 thread (They won't work together without an adapter)
They're reply is a little odd actually. 808 and 510 are different, non-compatible threads. So when they say "A 510 with 808 threading" it just makes no sense (at least to me).
Threading is not just the diameter, but also pitch and spacing of them. I can't find it now, but there's a datasheet kicking around with all the common thread info on it.

510 usually means the type of thread, but from looking at the video that PTPA posted a link to, it certainly isn't a 510. But an 808 does sound right.
Lol Recidivus, I crossed posts with you 
I completely agree it doesn't make any sense saying it's a 510 with 808 threading.

Trying to put a 510 carto on an 808 battery would be the same as trying to screw a METRIC nut on a STANDARD bolt- won't work/ fit. If you want use 510 accessories on the Bedford your only option is to buy an 808 to 510 adapter.

Hiya Chrissy.
This came up recently with another obscure pv. That was 510 battery with RN4081 threading. Seems they call the batts 510s for some reason. It is confusing. The actual threading isn't 510 on these Bedford Slims - so he will have an 808 thread. From looking at the video it's not 510.
All I have to add is 100 mah= 1 hr normal Vaping before recharge. Because it's 280 mah you have to use standard resistance cartomizers/ atomizers.
It's 808 threading - you can use 808 cartos, clearos etc. Forget the 510 bit - that's not the threading for what you have.
You can use these if they interest you: http://smokelessimage.com/filter-tips.html
It seems that this could work to expand the choices to 510 pre-filleds for brands that aren't available in 808 cartos, no?
DSE901 or KR808D-1 battery to Joye 510 atomizer conversion adapter
