eGo, KR808, Janty stick and more

[mick37]

Ok - so, I've started my vapping experience with a KR808 and since then , bought more different models, most of them only after reading reviews on here. I liked the KR808 but moved up hoping to improve my experience ..
So, here are my impressions for some models - I'm using same cartomizer on all, with same liquid (16mg) - consider my ratings, all related, to the one I consider best - ratings are out of 10

Nebula (vapornine KR808 renamed) Vapor 9 Flavor 8 TH 10
KR808-1 (heaven gifts) Vapor 9 Flavor 8 TH10
KR808 USB pass through Vapor 10 Flavor 10 TH 10
Smokestick Royale (smokeStick) Vapor 8 Flavor 9 TH 9
Janty Stick V3 Vapor 7 Flavor 6 TH 3
eGo ( heaven gifts) Vapor 5 Flavor 5 TH 0

After reading others reviews I expected for the V3 stick and eGo to actually be much better than KR808 but they are not. I've tried both on attys as well and same thing - can't get any kind of TH from them.
Battery life not tested as is something I don't care about

Ordered some GG's - maybe they'll be better

just a quick question...you said you're using the kr808 cartomizer on the eGo?...

if so are you using the cone on it?....and if so just out of curiosity have you tried adjusting the adapter? (depends on where you got the adapter but on some of them you can take the adapter off and turn the slotted 901/808 adapter like a screw to adjust the airflow)...and adjusting the airflow will change the vapor production....just a fyi if you havent tried it...give it a shot see if that changes anything for ya..

no, haven't tried but I'm not interested in vapor production, for me only TH is important
I'll give it a shot anyway

understandable...just that I wasn't so fond of the kr808 in and of itself (but everyone has their own preferences)...just wanted to point out that there's some tweaking that can be done with the eGo/adapter/808 cartomizer/and ego cone that might make it a better experience for you..

the eGo is still running at a lower voltage than the kr808 batteries anyway which might detract from the TH (due to putting out lower wattage)...ego (and well all joye 510 stuff for that matter) is 3.1V...versus the true 3.7V of the KR808...though recently there's at least one ego type clone that's claiming to be 3.7 as well...

according with heaven gifts website the eGo is driven by a 3.7V 650mA battery ....

I know it does...thruth is that the 510 and the ego use some sot of modulation to bring it down to 3.1V thus giving you that extended runtime...

theres a post somewhere on here by a member called scottbee called "the truth about battery voltages" or something along those lines...where he goes into the technical aspects of it and shows the DMM readings...
point is that it's really like 3.1V...so a KR808 on an ego or 510 battery is going to run cooler as far as wattage goes...and wattage translates to heat...and that's gonna take some of the TH away...

I'm not trying to change your mind...just help explain your results and that I understand them...and actually expect them...pretty much fall right in line...
I only wanted to share some tips since you've got the eGo laying around too that there are little things that you can do to tweak it to hopefully either find it acceptable as a back up...or at least a little more pleasant than it is to you right now...

I use a Kr808 and an eGo both daily. I agree the flavor and TH from the eGo are weaker. For me the eGo makes tons of vapor. I would say equal to the 808. Also, the eGo has a much smoother draw. Many juices (TV's AC for instance) I can only vape in the eGo as they are just too strong for me in the 808.

I actually get pretty good throat hit with my eGo and my 510 cartomizers from liquidxpress. Cool rush 18mg.

Thanks - I was just pointing out the info from sellers or manufacturers are kind of misleading ...

Ah, but the eGo is driven by a 3.7V 650 mAh battery, there is nothing misleading about that. Now how the battery delivers that voltage is a totally different ball game.

I was told you get more TH with a LR atty...maybe try that on your ego and see how you like it.
