If I order the voltx2 and their catomizers to fill thats all I would need right? If it doesn't work with my cartomizers no big deal I'll smoke them when I'm at home chillaxin.....I just found out my juice things need to steep......does that meanI can't use them right away?

I can't tell from the picture. I don't use 808 either, but my reasoning it that SI makes the Volt which is 808 and has things like clearos for it, so if they made a VV it would probably be 808 too. I tend to suggested people go for 510 if possible, since more products are available with that threading.
You can try juice right away. Some are great as soon as you get them, other need to be steeped - think of it like decanting wine. Many of these juices are made fresh to order and it takes time for the flavor to fully develop.
Yeah, that is true! I always recommend an eGo starter kit for people, but in this case she just had a bunch of 808 cartos that she would like to use, and the Volt cartos are in any case fairly decent.
That should indeed be all you'll need! At least for now. And yes, steeping is just a maturing process, because some flavor molecules may evolve as it sits. You can vape it right away.
I was smoking a pack and a half a day of Camel Blue 99s (used to be called Camel Light 99s) and found that 24 mg was a good match for me. Over the months that followed I cut down to 20 mg, then 18 mg where I am today. The amount of vapor I use per day has always been constant: about 2.5 ml. One of the benefits of using bottled e-juice and filling your own cartos or other devices that that you can monitor the juice usage.
Because the nicotine in vapor is not absorbed as efficiently as nicotine in tobacco smoke it is difficult to correlate direct a relationship between the two. Everyone smokes and vapes differently. Even at 24 mg I felt that I was getting significantly less nicotine while vaping than I did when smoking. This may be partially due to addictive compounds in tobacco smoke other than nicotine.

Manual batteries are the way to go. Push a button to start vaping, plus they are sealed so no liquid can seep into it damage it.
To start, get yourself an ego twist or spinner kit. Make sure you have two batteries and I would recommend batteries with at least 1000mah. Also grab a couple DCT tanks, mini vivi nova or kanger evod. Also buy a lanyard for the ego battery and some replacement heads for whatever tank you buy.
I've had KR808 and for our work environment (I'm a respiratory therapist) they are not ideal. The batteries die out way too early and the cartos dry up way too fast.
A 1000mah battery should last you most if not all of the shift, in any case you'll have a that 2nd battery for back up.
This set up has worked for myself and a bunch of coworkers. This set up is ideal to start vaping. The set up you have now will eventually disappoint somewhere down the line...been there done that.
However, you will have to purchase your e juice separately. The forums will provide you with a wealth of information on vendors and what's available. To start off, if possible...I would go to a local vape shop where you can "try before you buy" their juices. You probably will pay a premium for it, but a least you will know off the bat if you like it or not. Finding a flavor you like online is hit or miss because despite recommendations, taste is subjective and affected by all kinds of variables- essentially you are "blind-buying".
I smoked menthol, so a menthol flavor worked for my "fix". Trying to find a tobacco flavor that emulates the real thing is hard. Better to explore something just the opposite so you don't make a direct comparison to analogs and enjoy vaping for what it is. I like fruity and sweet flavors.
I choose to vape juices with more PV since more long term studies have been done on the effects of its inhalation vs. VG. Plus I have no sensitivities towards PG. There is information available here on the forums in respect to this topic, for you to make your own decision on what you will prefer.
Many coworkers have not gone back to smoking are using 12mg. I started with 18mg, thinking that a lower nicotine would allow me to vape less...for me this wasn't the case.
With the set up mentioned, many who never intended to quit analogs..have. Its still what I use, only now am I venturing deeper into the world of vaping and all it has to offer.
Hope this helps and good luck.
A 808 to 510 adapter is a much better investment than to go for an entirely 808 battery. 510 is the most common connection type, so an adapter will save you the trouble of finding cartos once your 20 have run out. The math is quite simple.
As for automatic vs manual, i own both, and automatics definitely have their place, despite what the reviews may have you think. I own several devices of each class, including 4 huge mods, and still have use for my auto 510. They work well with my Nanos, are extremely compact, and as an ex-smoker i do enjoy having a cig-a-like hanging out of my mouth when im walking with a cup of coffee in hand.

For someone who asked for something cheap and simple, this seems like quite the opposite. Cartos do the same job with or without the tank, and the superiority of Vivi Novas etc over cartos are debatable.
I assume you mean a 510 to 808 adapter. Wouldn't it be the exact same maths with the X2 battery and an 808 to 510 adapter? OP didn't want to buy a whole new kit, but needed a bigger battery, so with the X2 battery with an 808 connection, OP can still combine this and the currently owned cig-a-like kit with empty cartos for both. No need for an adapter then. Seems very logical to me, at least. I dunno... I do agree that 510 is a better choice overall though. When/if the need for something new comes, like VV and tanks, then anything but 510 would be pointless.

Who doesnt 
Plus the hand-free aspect of autos appeal to me, especially when i have chalk in one hand and coffee in the other, which is the state you find me in a lot of the times.

Yes its the same math, the point is to prepare to use 510 delivery system. Anything diverging from that has small value in the long run, comparatively.
Jigglin.....I used to hate my 12 hr shifts....We can't smoke within view of the hospital and alot of days only have one break for 12 hrs. I would have to go out get my car and drive around the block to have a cig.......now I vape in the bathroom...love it. I think the bigger battery will help alot....I'm going to order the volt x2 because it will work with what I have now, as far as cartomizers and the battery comes in different sizes. Hopefully it will last 12 hrs or I'll have to get 2. Can I leave one plugged in to charge all night? Trying to figure out how to keep 2 charged and will a spare hold a charge all day in case one runs out during my 12 hr shift? I really need to vape after work.......
OH....buying supplies in a shop is out for me. I live in a very small town that does not have a shop. You can only buy e-cigs in the gas station....no e juice here at all. I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
I would advise you to get anything with a PCC, regardless of connection type. Any such issue can be resolved with a $5 adapter.
Agreed, but in this case, 20 dollars for the X2 battery seems like a cheap intermediate option while experimenting and planning for the next big purchase
The realities of battery charging took me to the APV solution. I wanted something with standard cylindrical batteries that can be removed like flashlight batteries. That way I can carry a spare charged battery in a small container with me wherever I go or a handful if I'm away for a few days.
This battery freedom goes a lot farther. I keep ten 14650 1050 mAh batteries in rotation. Why not? They only cost me $4.40 apiece (from Taiwan). This allows me to go several days without charging batteries. I charge up seven batteries at once.

Depending on how much you vape during work, it may or may not last you the full 12 hours. I assume you won't be vaping THAT much while running around at work
I would think that 900mah or up should be enough. And yes, it should be fine to leave one plugged in all night.
My 1100mAh just never seems to run out. When yoi have a 4 digit charge capacity, battery life is usually no longer an issue.
Thanks.....and you are correct I really only have time to vape maybe 3 to 4 times while at work......You really can only sneak into the bathroom so many times in a 12 hour period before people start to think you have a problem. Most people I work with don't know I smoke or vape and I want to keep it that way. I really want to be able to chain vape on the way home though. My other battery was dead by the time I left work which is really frustrating then I have to go home and pass the gas station which makes me want a real cig.....and I can't vape till I get home and charge the battery for 2 hrs....really was ready to go back to smoking before I heard of the battery options out there. I ordered the volt x2 and I think it will work for me for awhile and get me off real cigs, that is my main goal right now. I may upgrade later but first I want to quit smoking with something that is easy to use and makes me forget about smoking. I feel your posts have helped me alot....Thanks more than you know....
dradeel the above post was in response to your comments....I dont know how to use the quote function......
