Best Carto for KR808?

[turretin]

Hey guys, I'm really disappointed with my Volt Blank Cartos, they're absolutely awful! The flavor is bad and when you inhale it feels like your sucking a milk shake through a coffee stir straw. I've heard many of you guys say over the last few days that the Ikenvape 3 ohm and the Boge 3 ohm are the best. Would you all agree that these two are the best performing cartos for my Volt 808 or is there something else out there that might be better? I'm kinda wondering if I should have even bought the Volt 808 now because the cartos perform so badly, I don't think its a battery issue. I would love to hear what you guys think!

I have been having the same issue with my V2 cartos. I ordered a VGO from vaporsheaven.com, it came with 2 1000 mah batteries and 5 lr 2.8 ohm mega cartos. This set up is awesome!! I am going to try a set of 2 ohm mega cartos next as i have heard good things about them. Since I received this set up I have not touched any of my V2 stuff.

You might not fully enjoy vaping until you can use a low resistance cartomizer. To me, that's like night and day. Unfortunately, you can't use them on small batteries without risking killing your battery.

I shouldn't say this and I'm not recommending it but I did use a low resistance cartomizer on my 510. I bought two boxes of cartos (2.0 and 3.0) and dumped them in a container then realized I couldn't tell them apart. Nothing happened to my battery, it just didn't last long.

I don't use a KR808 but my Mom has one and I fill her cartos so I've tried them all. She has had V4L cartos, Volt cartos and Ikenvape cartos. She liked the Ikenvape cartos because of size. I don't know if there's a huge difference in the way they vape.

Ikenvape does have a LR KR808. If you don't care about your battery and want to risk it to see if LR is better for you, you could try it. Then you'd know and maybe want to get a bigger battery pv.

Probably wouldn't be the smartest thing to do though, you risk killing a $15 battery. Might be worth it to pick up a $30 Riva. See how this pv thing works? You just spend and spend!

Thanks for the ideas guys! Hey Swed, being new to all of this I'm still trying to figure out the different sizes and ohm ratings. So do you think that the ikenvape 3 ohm is safe for the 808 but the 2 ohm would be risky due to its lower resistance?

 

[swedishfish]

The 3 is safe for your pv. That's probably what the Volt carto is. I honestly don't know if a carto will make a huge difference or not. Are you using manual batteries? Have you tried the WOW cartos from V4L? Dormouse can give you better advice about this, and she knows all about cartos.

Buy the kanger cartos they are what I use.

I've got the automatic sealed 65 Volt. No I haven't tried the WOW V4L yet although I've heard good things about them. I already have a volcano inferno/Ego with the Drip it and love it but dripping is a hassle and its not that convenient for vaping on the road or at work. Maybe I should give the Wow cartos a try, I'm just leary of wasting more money on non-refundable cartos. I'm really surprised because I heard such good things about the Volt but my experience has not been very good so far. I guess that's why everyone always seems to switch to the Ego or a Mod eventually because they get tired of the poor vaping experiences with these smaller devices.

Sounds like some of you guys really like the Kanger! Hey Chuck, do you get pretty good airflow and flavor out of these Kanger's? I'm assuming that they're 3 ohm right?

It seems very unlikely that a 2.0 Ohm cartomizer would ruin a standard (~200 mah) battery. It will certainly shorten its lifespan, as it will use more power to drive the lower resistance cartomizer, but doubtful that it would literally ruin your battery.

I use KR808 gear (like your Volt) and my favorite cartomizers are the Boge LR and SmokTek LR. Both are ~2.0 Ohms and both are 808-threadded.

I have a bunch of the Bloog MF cartomizers (the same as your Volt cartomizers, and about 2.8 Ohms). They are not terrible, and work well with some juices, but are far from my favorites.

You are already vaping around 2.8 Ohms, which leads me to believe you will be unhappy increasing that to 3.0 Ohms. Order a pack of LR (~2.0 - 2.2 Ohm) cartomizers and give it a try. The only way to really find what works best for YOU, which is going to be very subjective, is experimentation.

The resistance of the cartos isn't the problem. I am using cartos rated at 2.6-3.0 ohm on my 808 devices, and they are great. I am using the ones from V2Cigs. Pretty much the same thing as your Volt cartos, as they are all standard. Same goes for the WOW! cartos from Vapor4Life. I can say that the Boge cartos are excellent. The 3.0 ohm will give you a cooler vapor, so try to find Boge cartos that are rated at around 2.7.

You might be able to improve the draw on your cartos by unscrewing them slightly. Just enough so that the airflow is increased, but the carto is still connected to the batt and getting power.

kr808d-1 is made by kanger makes sense to use the carto

 

[JDJ]

The Kanger bottom-coil 808 cartomizers are identical to the Bloog MF cartomizers... which are identical to the Volt cartomizers. Buying Kanger bottom-coil cartomizers would be just like buying more Volt cartomizers. If you are not happy with the Volt ones, you likely do not want to buy more of them.

Actually, the internals of the cartomizers are substantially different. The new Kangers, Volt, and Bloog are all horizontal coil, whereas the V2, Boge, and SmokTek are vertical coil. Even at the same resistance, they will vape and wick differently.

 

[ChuckP]

The kangers are around 2.8 ohm. I've had better consistency with these than the boges. The Boges are hit and miss on their life cycle I've noticed. These kanger blanks are improved and last for me. I use the kr808d-1 as an all day pv. I have not ran one more than 5 days, not because I can't. I just switched flavors, the one I'm on now is at day 4 and has had over 300 drops.

I use my eye and drip, it's better than the condom method. My kanger blanks are on tight too.

5 pack, Yellow Cartomizers

I have tried just about all of them for the 808, these hands down have been the best vapor producers with pure flavor, One thing to note, blow out the end before you fill, if there is any primer fluid in there you want to make sure you don't mix it with your liquid.

I have to respectfully disagree about the V2 cartos, which are single horizontal bottom coil. The Boge cartos are definitely vertical coil, and probably why they outperform the horizontal coil models.

AFAIK The Kanger KR808D-1 cartos are the original design that all other "standard" cartos are based off of. They might even be produced on the same manufacturing line. Strangely enough, people seem to shy away from the original Kanger cartos due to a strange burnt flavor, which I have experienced personally. There might be a difference in the polyfill or wick material..I don't know. All I know is that Kangers taste funny, and the others don't.

OP I have 3 Kanger cartos left that I will not use. If you want them to try them out, I would be happy to send them to you. PM if you are interested.

Am I confused or isn't this vgo mentioned a 510 cause if its an 808 I'd like to have one. Thoughts the question was for a good cartomizer for an 808

Get a 510-808 adapter.
