Getting smarter & asking first

[bulldogz]

Okay...first supply of cartomizers are almost used up so I am going to be smarter and ask first..what are favorite kr808 cartomizers????

My personal favorites are the kanger horizontal coil kr808 cartos.

Most people who've tried the Kangers seem to prefer them, but I hear they're pricey. I've been happy with Smokeless Image's. I believe SI's are also horizontal coil, but don't quote me.

I think the average price that I see for the kangers are $8-$10 for a 5 pack for US based stores. HealthCabin has them for $5.20 for a 5 pack, but they are a china based company so shipping can be lengthy. I personally wish I could find a place that has bulk quantities of them at a discount, I would order a 50 pack for a decent price without blinking.

I like Kanger blanks, but I like Smokeless Image's pre-filled carts best for flavor. And, I also like their blanks.

Thanks ...think I'll try both ...lol

This IS what you will like!
Check them out!

KR808D1 Ultimate CE2 Clearomizer XL

Be sure to watch the video at the bottom of the page!

For $2.25 you may also need these:
CE2 Cartomizer Syringe Refill Kit


These are less fuss than the batting-filled cartomizers to fill.
CE2s make e-liquids taste better IMO!
You can also use these with an eGo battery with the 510 to 808 Adapter!

Happy vaping!

I disagree with the less fuss than batting filled cartomizer statement. I am an avid user of ce2's as well as the kanger cartos. CE2s do require some fiddling and modification to work correctly.

It is your right to disagree!



I did say IMO!

Since I have found the CE2s, my regular cartos are obsolete IMO!
I have to constantly re-fill batting-filled cartomizers and it's a messy/constant hassle!
There is a lot of wasted e-liquid left in the batting too!
The "fiddling & modification to work correctly" is not rocket-science.
It is shown in the video I recommended so that the "how-to" is understood.

The only draw-back to using CE2s is that you cannot lay them down side-ways when full.
The e-liquid will get into the center-post and get into your mouth,
or go to the battery connection.
This can be easily avoided by laying them down with the top propped up slightly.
Not rocket-science either!



Happy vaping!

I will agree with the aspect of less time between refills as the typical kanger carto holds 1mL and the CE2s hold around 1.8ish mL. Once you get the hang of the modifications they aren't that much of a hassle. I personally do the modification where you remove the lower cup seal, flip over the middle o-ring seal, stick another o-ring seal in there for spacing, and then stick on a drip tip. I did not say it was rocket science, but there is a certain aspect of fiddling with the unit to get it to work properly so there is a slight learning curve with these units (and a little bit more when you get into the cleaning/dry burning). I view filling the typical 808 filler carto and CE2 as about the same amount of work. Your comment about the leaking is good to note, since the CE2s often drop liquid out of the center which can royally screw up a KR808 auto battery.

Since the original poster is asking for advice to make an educated purchase, I felt it was important to point out that these units are not less fuss compared to the drip to fill regular style kr808 cartos. Not rocket science, but definitely not less fuss.

Are you still using 808D-1 batteries with a hole in them?


There are better 808D-1 batteries without a hole in them available at link:

G6 Batteries - G6 E-Cig



They also have the 808 regular cartomizers which are what I prefer to use
when using a regular 808 cartomizer.
I have not burned one of theirs up yet!

Regarding the cleaning of cartomizers
(regular and CE2s)
I use EverClear to soak
and
Let air dry
(the high-proof/high alcohol content in EverClear evaporates quickly).

Never use IsoAlcohol!
(rubbing alcohol)
Use only consumable alcohol.
If you cannot get EverClear
(not available in all states)
You may use Vodka


Some people use dry-heat in their ovens and/or dry-burn their cartomizers.
This is a good way to burn it up, the wick is not meant to be heated without e-liquid, and will be damaged using these dry-heating methods to dry cartomizers.

IMO
The constant re-filling the regular cartomizers is a lot more fussing than filling the CE2 which holds 1.8mL.
IMO
Not rocket-science = not complicated or hard to understand & do!
