Difference between 808 Bllank Cartomizers?

[evilferret]

Hi all, need new cartomizers and also a few other odds and ends so giving GP a try (they had menthol crystals! Yahs!).

The product ids are

GP VapoRite KR-808 Cartomizer-EMPTY

And

GP-808D-1 Cartomizer.

The GP VapoRite KR-808 Cartomizer-EMPTY 8.99 and I'm assuming the same old style cartos with the o-ring and hard plastic top.

The GP-808D-1 Cartomizer is 7.99 and is the new easy refillable top.

Why the price difference? I would have thought the newer re-fillable would be more expensive?

Is the older style better?

Also would the eGO cartomizers work on a Elegant (basically a 808 Riva) with a 510 adapter?

Sorry for all the q's but for the menthol crystals, do I have to use alcohol? Is there any chance you have premixed menthol drops? Can I just mix it in with my e-juice?

Thanks again

The GP carto runs cooler (3.5 ohms) then the other one. The result would be less harsh and possibly more burn resistant. I haven't tried these particular ones but have other high ohm cartos. I like them better then the old ones myself.

Can't help you w/ the other questions. I would think the Ego cartos would work w/ an adapter but am not sure. I've never added menthol crystals but I do know that less is more.

The soft stop has this in the description

"Rated 3.0-3.5 ohm, same as KR
Black with Soft Tip for easy removal to refill!"

So this is more like the CoolCarts/Gold Label cartos from other suppliers?

No ohm rating for the hardtop one.

The wording on the soft top confuses me, so its the same ohm as the hardtop? Is the hardtop equivalent to the Premium cartos (aka lower resistance)?

Might have to buy the menthol from a different supplier. I don't want to mix menthol crystals (I'll look like a druggie) so opting for menthol drops at this point.

Thanks for the heads up and definitive information would be great!

When you say GP which model do you mean? They're both have GP in their product ID's.

So from what you saying one is at 3.0-3.5 and the other is even higher ohm rating? 4+? I thought Premium cartos were 2.5-3.0 ohm and cools were 3.0-3.5?

I'm guessing the GP 808D-1 is like the others Cool carts. I can't say for sure w/o having tried one. To me a similar carto should be 3.3 ohms or higher. The range of 3.0-3.5 is a bit confusing..

I have tried his standard 808 cartos, the Vaporite ones, and they do have the inner silicon ring and are standard 808 issue.

I'm sure Rob or someone that has tried these will shed light on the subject. I could give you a definite answer only if I had one myself.

No worries, just having somebody there (even without the answer) makes the wait more enjoyable.

Was hoping to order soon. Maybe just randomly pick one and give it a go. I still have tons of hardtop 808's so might as well try the soft top.

Still deciding if I should just play it safe and buy extra adapters for the eGo cartomizers.

I may be able to assist because I asked the exact same question just a few days ago and I'm taking the liberty of providing his informative clarification:

"The GP808 is pretty much the same as the KR808.


Only thing is the GP has the soft tip, which is really nice.
You can remove with your fingers.
The only downside is if you put in your pocket alot, you might be losing tips. lol, I loose em all the time.

But a drip tip fits on nice and is handy too.


They cost me just a bit less, so I pass that on."

I wanted to add that I went with the $7.99 cartomizers

Anything will work with anything in this industry with an adapter, Power-adapter-Atty or Carto = Vapor, hahah yes the Ego & Riva units will run anything with an adapter

I mis-worded my question in OT, I was hoping somebody had that particular setup and could comment on fitment.

I really don't want to shave off the cone. I know somebody with a Riva 510 used a 510 -> 910 -> 510 adapter to clear the cone. Since I have a native 901 was hoping 901 -> 510 would be enough, if not I'm going to need to purchase more adapters for cone clearance.

Okay, adding the soft tips to my list. I do hope somebody could clime in about the ohm rating on the hard tips. It would be nice to have a supply for the lower 2.5-3.0 ohm 808 cartos.

Eh pulled the trigger already.

Order the soft tips, eGo cartos and a few other odds and ends.

 

[evilferret]

Bump, should this be put into the questions thread?

 

[dirt2suck]

I would like to say that we will be carrying GP510 and GP808 cartos in stainless with no wrap.
This would/should not interfere with the cone/cover.


We should have them in about a week.
I am still unsure about Riva specs

I'm currently running 1 Ego 1 Riva with LR901's on them, with one 510-901 adapter, the Atty comes up way past the cone a good half inch or so. same will happen with a carto with an adapter a tad less but plenty, hope that helps you out evilferret, I got kind of lost with this thread going back to some others

 

[dirt2suck]

I think the cone in question is dealing with the wrap and airflow.

How they are set up, would require numerous adapters for the carto to clear the whole cone.
Not really all that pleasing.


I dont use a cone when using cartos, but I will repeat that
we are getting in the SS cartos to defeat this problem.
If temp would contradict any, then a drip tip could solve the prob easily.


EDIT: I hope this is making sense.

 

[evilferret]

Any idea what the ohm rating for the GP VapoRite KR-808 Cartomizer-EMPTY is though? I need another supplier for "Premium" cartos (I think the TH is stronger).

Thanks.

 

[dirt2suck]

The Kanger GP VapoRite KR-808D-1 empties test out 3.0-3.5 ohm

 

[proudlion]

to order more. My GP-808D-1 Cartomizers arrived today and I am very pleased! Great product at a great price - Thank you Rob

 

[dirt2suck]

Thanks!

I dont think you will have to wait a whole year to get another great sale, lol.

Stay tuned, we will have something up this weekend on the VG liquid and possible GP gear, and Joye eGo gear.

... so if I really like the hard tips and find the soft tips have a burnt flavor (for me), which ohm rating do I like? 3.0-3.5? cool carts?
