Difference between sizes?

[jd1138]

Hi. I am sure its been asked before, so excuse me for not searching enough (i tried but didnt find it).

I have an Elite 808 now, looking to add another device as a backup / one for my wife.

The Volt looks good - thats another 808 style.

Leads me to ask - do the thread sizes (like 510s, 901s, 808s, etc) produce different vaping results or is vaping just vaping, different styles give different batteries?

Different size batteries give different amounts of charge, from 1 hour for the smallest batteries 90mah to almost all day for the largest (like 1300mah Ego battery)

Different model provides different vapes because they have different atomizers or cartomizers for different threadings. Some models have lots of options (mainly 510 and KR808D-1 threading) and some have few options. Some slim models have more voltage than others and provide more hit (KR808D-1). Some slim models don't even offer manual batteries (what most here use and recommend). The BIG models (Ego, Riva etc 650mah+ and mods) can use lower resistance parts (lower ohms atomizers and cartomizers) for more hit and more hit.

If you get a 3.7v Riva 510 (Liberty-Flights kits are known to be the new 3.7v ones and the Lite Bundle is under $30 after you press the 20% off on front page) then you can use all of the 510 stuff and with a 99 cent 510 to 901 adapter from Goodprophets (their has enough airflow for 808 cartos too) then you can also put your 808 cartos on it. That's what I do. I use Boge carto blanks in 510 threading (and there are a lot more exotic choices for 510 than that) and I use the adapter to put my 808 cartos on the Riva. Riva 510 is an Ego clone but Ego has less voltage than your 808 and would vape your cartos cooler.

An alternate option would be a nice little plastic 3.7v mod box from the Buying & Selling.. Mods and Accessories section of ECF. Add the correct protected batteries and charger to that. I have a clear blue one with blue LED.

The volt was the first kit I bought but I quickly realized its battery is just too small and constant refilling of cartos was too much work, so I bought ego-t and it's much better.

510 is probably the most universal of the thread types. In my experience, when using 510 carto's on a Kr8 battery with a goodprophets adapter I didn't get as good of a hit as I did using native 510 stuff on 510 batteries. But your results may vary.

How is it that your information is so limited??? The largest battery is a 1300 mAh Ego battery?????? Not even close. There are models that have anywhere from 1800 mAh batteries to 2600 mAh batteries.

And to the OP, there are many other options that provide both longer vaping time on a charge as well as warmer vapor. Any 5 volt battery model or variable volt battery model will provide warmer vapor, more consistency, more flexibility and in some cases, battery life of around 21 hours than say an eGo or a 3.7 volt box mod. Nothing wrong with an Ego/Riva/E-Power for example, but there are many other options that do more.

Nothing wrong with a small auto, you just have to have more than one.

 

[MickeyRat]

There are lots of different batteries out there. I personally think generic batteries are best because they are cheaper and you aren't limited to ecig suppliers. I really hate those little cigarette sized ones. Some people like them though.

One part of your post no one is addressing is the different things you can put on the batteries. As others have pointed out, the 510 threading has the most available devices but, if you decide you like dripping and want to go with atomizers, there are other options that you might like better. Regardless, whatever you get for a battery can probably be adapted to whatever you want to put on it.

So, what you're saying is that those numbers (which I still find confusing, LOL) refer primarily to the threading?

I've seen adverts for dual coil, horizontal coil, clearo-something-or-another etc... and usually there is a number, say like 510. I guess it depends on one's battery type in terms of ohms (?) if one can use a certain type of carto on it? This is all still very confusing to me.

So, when ordering accessories, one must not only take into consideration threading size, but also voltage or whatever? Does the same apply to atomizers? I've never used one before- I use the ProVape1 system and use re-fillable cartos. I had also bought cartos that said 510 low resistance, which upon checking my specs for my battery unit, seems like I got the correct item. I ordered my first atomizer from ProVape- figuring since I have their system, the atty should work fine.

Apologies for my confusing queries- when it comes to all of this technical stuff my brain goes into hibernation :-(

Yes, the numbers are the thread types. And yes, you'll want to pay attention to voltage and resistance (Ohms) as well. A lower resistance number usually means a warmer vape. It is basically trying to attain high voltage similarity with low voltage equipment. Of course, the recommendation is higher numbers for resistance when using higher voltage devices. Hope that helps.

510,801,808,901, are models for type. The mah will determine battery, the higher mah the longer it last, and it will be like 3.7,3.0,4.8 is usual. 14500,18350,18650 determines battery model. Atties, carto and such are usually 1.5 up to 3.5 is about the highest, and they will say standard 510,801,901 threading. Short version but maybe this helps

Thanks!!!

The mah will determine battery, the higher mah the longer it last, and it will be like 3.7,3.0,4.8 is usual.

Just a quick note...those numbers are voltage. Mah (milliamp hours) are generally over a hundred and quite often over 1000.

 

[madjack]

...the numbers refer to battery threading and what accessories fit them.....
mah numbers refer to power available in batts
Ohms is the resistance of the accessories(carts/cartos)
slimline batts(180-380mah+_) should never be used with LR(below 2.4ohms) stuff since it will discharge the batt too fast and may damage it
fat batts such as the eGo/Rivas/etc start around 650mah and go upto 1300mah...these batts can run most all accessories but really shine with LR stuff...
generic batts used in most mods start around 600mah and run upto 2600mah+-...these batts are used in higher voltage devices which can take advantage of high ohm accessories.....
...that is may nutshell explanation...got mud..........

All great advice and info.

 

[FatHead1987]

I was going to say... My bombshell is a 3000mAH. Well over 24 hours worth of vaping.

 

[coffm0]

I would say if your looking for longevity in battery life, and your going to choose 3.7v then get something that uses the 18650 size battery, 2400 mah last me all day easy and then some.
