or buy a an ego

While the cone on the eGo/Tornado certainly can change the vapor production, at the end of the day the eGo/Tornado is still a ~3.1V device (like the standard 510 battery). The KR808D-1 battery will give you closer to 3.7V.... which many people consider to be an improvement.

    So, you think the kr8 is better than the eGo, Scottbee??? Honest opinion.

    Of course, many others consider a 510 atty on 3.7v as anything but an impovement, and very much prefer theirs as intended on 3.1v. Tastes differ.

    It's pretty rare to find somebody who has used a 510 atty at 3.7V, and then prefers to go back to 3.1V.... but I'm sure they are out there (such as yourself).

    I know that the mod manufacturers don't get many requests to knock their 3.7V devices down to 3.1V. If anything, it looks like many/most folks end up looking for even more voltage/wattage.

    Before we had your findings, people simply tried 510s on mods, and "somehow did not like it" or said that 510s in general don't taste good, and moved to 901s or 801s on their mods. People would not ask about voltage, because nobody knew there was anything to ask about.

    Besides, mods are quite often a thingy that has little to do with taste, a little bit with battery life, and a lot with "mine is bigger than yours". At least I can't quite shake that feeling after several run-ins with people who declared that the only "right" way of vaping was on a mod. (Fairly rare on ECF, but not elsewhere.)

    As far as I am concerned, your findings close the book on me and a mod for my 510 - no thanks. And since the eGo is out, there is not really a need for one, either. Because even if mods are cheaper in the long run, how much is that in cash per day? Not much. And I still can't put a mod between my teeth the way I can with my 510s and eGo.

    Again, tastes differ. Other people have a different taste and/or opinion. And currently, most haven't even heard of your findings, so they have one based on insufficient information, too.

    I get the same self-cleaning effect with the Bartleby, which uses a 14500 batt, and is, according to Scottbee, operating with a coil voltage close to 3.7V. I've not measured this myself, but the Bart is a significant improvement over reg or mega batts, and attys that were chronically clogged before are waking up quite a bit on the Bart. Flavors are better too, as is TH. Atty washing is becoming a much less frequent need. Sometimes I don't even dismantle the atty and cart at the end of the day, which I used to do with blowing-out before. Now I take off the filled cart, put an empty one on, vape the residuals, take a few fast, hard pulls with button pressed, put the filled cart back on, then set the Bart upside-down on the edge of my desk, with the attached atty and cart pointing down. It stands up with atty pointing down no problem. This is the same as putting the atty cart-side down on a paper towel, but now any liquid goes into the cart, not the paper towel.

    My attys have much more of a "last a long time" feel now. The kr808 batt no doubt does the same thing, so the suggestion of a Bart is about the same as that of a kr808, but I don't need an adapter. I don't know what the mAh is for the kr808 batts, but the 14500 is 900 mAh, compared to 280 mAh for the mega 510 batt. Given the problems that can arise from 5V or more, I consider the Bart to be about the optimum batt system for the 510 atty, although larger capacity 3.7V batt mods no doubt have a similar benefit to 510 atty health.

    I'm over here just gigglin away...ok, I gotta stop now...*clears throat*...No, I have not used the 510 on a true 3.7v device :( and I am still working on getting the Chameleon. I was going to sneak and get one then my husbands transmission started muckin up and now we are havin to work on that so it's a lil harder to sneak funds when he's payin close attention to the bank as he buys stuff he needs for his truck. One day I will be lucky enough though...unless of course I can pursued you to make my eGo batteries 3.7v *bats eyes* . And since you miss living in Texas you could just come for a visit, stop buy, and work your magic on my eGo's hehe.
