Finally found a decent and reliable clearomizer for small battery!!

[MGates]

I've been vaping for a couple months and recently began getting aggravated with cartomizers. I use small 808 threaded stick batteries and despite all I've been told, I don't really want to move to anything bigger. I started testing clearomizers but they always leaked, cracked, or tasted burnt. I recently got a pack of e-smart clearomizers from vapor kings. They are great! Feel pretty heavy duty, no leaking, great flavor, long wicks, and good vapor. They are only a smidge wider than my battery, not big enough to look to top heavy. I wasn't expecting to like them because in all my research I hadn't heard much about them and I have been told many times that unless I upgraded I was doomed to be frustrated. Am I crazy?? Has anyone else had success with these?

Haven't tried them, but I've yet to read a negative comment on the forum about them.

As far as being disappointed with stick batteries, it really comes down to personal preference. When I first joined these forums, I followed conventional wisdom and immediately upgraded to a larger manual battery. I've mentioned this many times recently, but in my 6+ months of vaping it's only been the last month that I've quit smoking completely. It took dripping on a super-mini automatic for me to accomplish that and I'm completely satisfied with my current setup.

So, yeah. If it's working then stick with it until it no longer does.

I forgot to mention that you probably haven't heard much about them around here because they're only available in 808 and that haven't been picked up by a major brand like Bloog, Smokeless Image or CigEasy. There are a couple of threads on them in the 808 forum though.

I've not heard of the e-smart clearomizers, but if they work for YOU that's all that matters Opinions are fine to get a feel for vaping stuff, BUT that doesn't mean YOU will have the same experience or opinion that someone else does

If you're happy with your 808 batteries you are not doomed to frustration or crazy. Lots of people love their 808's besides you Vaping should be all about what makes YOU satisfied and not about what anyone thinks you should need

Try getting that opinion across in the New members forum some time.

My girlfriend uses those with an automatic V2 battery and she's happy with it besides the occasional leaking when she tilts them upside down while vaping in bed. She likes being able hold up her e-cig between two fingers.

Hiya. I'm another 808 user who doesn't intend to upgrade in the very near future; I like the small form factor and as I've said before, not everyone want to toke on something that looks like a flashlight or a mini-ICBM. Anyway, I got my E-smart starter kit today and I agree completely about the clearos - they're great. The batteries are cool too, even though they only have a little more capacity than regular 808s. The E-smart is a very sleek and stylish-looking package, vapes well and I love the fact that it's backwards-compatible with my other 808 stuff (except for the chargers).

I agree and think its a great setup for stealth vaping at work.

If you want to carry it around with you in your front pocket I found the clip part off of a disposable pen cap works good. You just have to cut it off and split it to open it up a little.

Heres mine with the pen clip on it.

Nice! I've been slipping it into the lanyard that holds my work badge. It looks like I'm just carrying a slightly odd-looking pen.

The fact that the E-smart battery doesn't have a light at the end - just a fairly inconspicuous one on the switch that's covered up by one's finger - makes it perfect for stealth-vaping. I really like the draw I get from the E-smart clearo/battery combo and they look great together. I just wish replacement batteries were a little cheaper; you can buy other 808-threaded batteries of twice the capacity for the same price.

I've been buying these little cartomizers for my eGo disguised as a fountain pen. They work well enough for me, though they leak a little after a few refills with a needle tip juice bottle ...

I'd like to find just the cartomizer replacement, instead of paying for the metal cap and sleeve every time ...

This cartomizer and a 450 mAh Ego battery clips nicely into a shirt pocket ...
