Cartomizer questions

[jkfifth]

I want to shop around for cartomizers and I have a few questions before I do. I'm using Smoketip, am I correct that it's a KR808D-1? Also, are there different types of cartomizers that are compatible? The ones that came in the starter kit had a metal wire looped over the filler (part of the atomizer?) and I really didn't care for those, hardly any vapor and they tasted funky. Even after cleaning and refilling they still didn't work right. So I trashed those. Luckily I ordered extra cartos with it and they were much, much better, a lot of vapor, good flavor, and when I opened them up they looked different, filler seemed fluffier and that wire wasn't there. No problems cleaning and refilling them. So I've been ordering those and I'm happy with them, but I want to try to save some money, and I want to see if my juices taste better in a blank cart as opposed to a cleaned one. I just don't want to end up with those cartos that came with the kit. Any suggestions?

Yes I think the Smoketip is a KR808D-1

You could try V4L's premium/wow cartos and their CoolCarts

For me, the premium/wow ones are too hot on my lips. I haven't tried the Coolcart yet.
And a lot of places sell KR808D-1 cartomizers but I don't know which ones are best.

Here is one of the many threads that seem to exist.

You could also check the Model-specific subforum on this board - should be a thread for KR808D-1

I don't know a lot about KR8 models. I've got to order one though! Bumping for more input, but it looks like dormouse's post has good info.

jk, when one of your better cartos dies, pull the filler out and let us know how the electricity flows. Most KR8 cartos are the simple loop. However, the different cartos available definitely vape differently. I ordered a KR808 from litecigs along with some soft cap cartos. Night and day between the ones that came with the KR and the soft cap ones as far as vapor production.

I'll check those threads out, thanks! dgr, I'm sure my hubby will be taking one apart soon. I'll make sure I post what he finds.
