They're both good. You need to watch these videos by MistressNomad. She talks specifically about those two e-cigs. The 510 and the KR808 (Vapor King.) They are really good and will explain any differences. They will be perfect to answer your questions. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-videos-newbies-particular-broke-newbies.html
VaporKing is the V4L brand of KR8
I believe you are thinking the Vapor Kings web site which does sell 510s.
2 piece IMHO is better than 3. but its all preference. Figure out what you need based on your own personal needs, do your homework, and make your decision. I run a Screwdriver (3.7v) with a LR atty (so i drip). Hassle free and dont have to recharge a batt till the end of my day. I cant use the 'cig sized e-cigs'. But to each their own. Hope u figure out what you need.
VAPE ON!
VAPE ON!
Also, people kind of look at you strange when you pull something like a screwdriver mkII out haha!
I honestly would get the 510 model for cignot.com. I researched for a week before deciding they had the cheapest prices I could find. Plus there product is quality and reliable, and they have amazing customer service. It's $35 for the most basic starter kit.
I currently have a vgo. That didn't do it for me. I bought a prodigy v3.1, which I should receive tomorrow (I'm super stoked)! But now I'm lookin for a vvpv. I'm trying to decide between a provari, ali'i, sabertouch, tha v2 from notcigs, or tha buzz. I'm really leanin toward tha ali'i, I haven't tried a box mod or a bottom fed mod. Plus the reviews on tha ali'i look amazing...any advice to a relatively new vapor lookin for his sweet spot?
KR8 seems to vape a bit hotter and is supposedly a full 3.7 volts and 510 is 3.2 volts - it's probably not the voltage as much as the typical standard resistance atty/carto ohms sold for each of them combined with their voltages. And you can't use LR (low resistance) atomizers or cartos on slim batteries without risking destroying the battery. If you want hotter hits, you need a fat battery model (Riva, Ego, etc. and then you can use both standard and LR attys/cartos)
My KR8 may just seem hotter because I use Vapor4Life cartos on it, usually the WOW cartos, and they are slightly lower resistance. By contrast, my 510 with a Boge standard resistance carto seems to make more vapor but that could just be because Boge cartos are stuffed a bit looser than V4L WOW cartos.
Most people get sick of atty+cart pretty fast and start using cartos and if they have manual batteries may also use a drip tip and drip on the atty. 510 comes with atty and has lots of blank cartos available, few decent prefilled. KR8 comes as a 2-piece, plenty of prefilled cartos available and plenty of blank. You can use a DSE901 atty on it (or other atty w/ an adapter)
I enjoy both. Downside of standard 510 is short 180mah battery life w/ standard batteries vs KR8 280mah for standard KR8 batteries. the Joye mega xl 510 batteries are 280mah but make the 510 138mm long w/ atty+cart and 128mm long w/ standard carto (I use with carto). I love the 510 mega batteries but the only PCC available for megas is the sharp-edged non-roomy Joye style so I use standard 510 batteries and a sweet roomy PCC from NoSMokeVA.com
Upside of 510 - since I use and recommend only MANUAL batteries, the 510's are great manuals because the threaded end is totally sealed metal. Super super safe for dripping on an atty or for refilled cartos (since after refilling, no matter how careful you are, occasionally a carto will drip some liquid right where it could kill or damage an auto battery). The KR8 manual still has a hole on the end - just doesn't have a drag sensor to kill in there so it's not as dangerous. But I definitely prefer a fully sealed battery end.
I couldn't decide either and that is why I own and vape both. I bet you will eventually own both so don't agonize over it.
