the Eluma is a DSE902. I believe KR808d-2 cartomizers will fit it. NOT, however, KR808d-1's, which is the more common form of kr808. I think the battery is also called E9. From Eluma's web site it looks like it is probably using cartomizers, and is essentially like GreenSmoke. ecig.com sells E9 batts and cartos, but this is a very old model, and expensive, and does not perform like current models, like the eGo or Riva. Eluma's is the classic shady E9 scam. The E9 does deliver a true 3.7V, but the batts do not last and permanently die prematurely. And the cartos tend to burn. Besides these flashy sites, I think ecig.com (China) is the only vendor selling E9 gear.

I'm not sure that the Eluma is the DSE902 model or that it is the same as the E9. The only reference I find to Eluma being the little known DSE902 is an ECF blog post my cozzicon back in August of last year. [I respect Michael, but he is not infallible and was not quite as vaping-savvy back then as he is today.]

I am not directly familiar with the Eluma, but – based on what I see on their website – it appears to be the same as the original blu and Volcano, i.e., the L88 model, a mediocre performer. blu has since moved on to using cartomizers, but those male-connector cartomizers are not E9/KR808D-2 cartos (which have a female connection).

Frankly, I recommend that you start from scratch with a good model. If you like the super-mini size, I have been very impressed by the Bloog Maxx Fusion and the virtually identical (and less expensive) Smokeless Image VOLT. Their 65mm batteries yield a relatively high-mAh* 103mm e-cig that produces great vapor, TH, and flavor.

* 220 mAh – which doesn't compare to a 650+ mAh fat batt, but is higher than any other super-mini and even the 112mm Joye510 mini (180 mAh).​
