Going from xhale02 to Vapor Kings KR808D-1

[AlyfromtheWoods]

I have a KR808D-1 and an M401. They are different in a couple ways both good and bad. I use both on and off, depending on if I've cleaned atomizers, if one is low on eliquid, or I'm too lazy to refill the KR808D-1 (you have to take the cartomizer apart whereas you just need to drip eliquid straight done into the M401). I like them both, but it's all preference, I only use the KR808 more than the M401 because it holds more eliquid and the flavor is better.

Spaz how do you take apart the cart on kr808 i thought they got damaged when you did that

Just a heads up from an Xhale fan... All local 7-11's lost the ability to order, act now to get your dead replaced.

Where did you hear that about 7-11s? I know some of my local 7-11s only just recently started promoting xhale02 e-cigs. The ones that have been selling them for awhile seem to be selling more and more of them.

I've mixed the ECOpure and the Halo Freedom juice on a cartridge by cartridge basis. Actually works out okay, so it looks like the ECOpure will not turn out to be a total loss purchase. I can make some use of it. Next, I think I will try out those XL blank cartridges from Revolver. Nothing much else on my experimentation list until I'm low on e-liquid, which will take awhile. At this rate, 40-45ml of e-liquid is going to last me several weeks. (I guess that's a good thing, normally.) Knowing me, I'll probably break down and get something before that. I've been driving my wife nuts with all these recent purchases. Anyone else done the same to their spouse/significant other with all this?

I talked to the managers of two 7-11's in the Northern Colorado area who said they don't see it in the system for re-order anymore. I have been telling folks about these things locally. I have sold 2 7-11's out a few times, they know they'll keep selling. I hope it's not true... the guy I wrote at Xhale02 didn't deny it when I told him what I heard either.

He is partly correct it is the franchise 7 11 that lost there order ability found that out down in denver today.. How are those flavors going billy

 

[dkhawkee]

After reading this, I checked with the 7-11 I get mine from. The manager there told me that it isn't in thier order books anymore, but, they are now going through a sales rep, at least out here in Denton,TX.

dk your right on that respect when i talked to the 711 they used to carry one not sure if it was the xhale but then the chain wanted to go national with the e cig and thats why the franchise arent getting them anymore. not sure that it makes since to me but you know everywhere works different just hope they stay around

I've been using manual XL' KR808D-1s for about a year using V4L coolCarts which seem to be much better than the hard cap but I havent had much luck with V4L's juice so I'm stuck with WoWboy , Prem Blueberry and WoWfruitPunch juice which I don't care for any of them.

 

[tryn2learn]

ret what wrong with the juice you get?

Hmmm.. Curious to see if this person posts again. Seems a little off to post like this having just signed up today.

Talked to my 7-11 guy, he confirmed that they can still get them and that they are growing in popularity.

I spoke with a manager at Kum-and-Go (yes it's real and it's one of the nicest convenience stores around) he said "they're just worthless so no we won't carry them" I will go laugh in his face if 7-11 offers a decent product at a decent price and makes a killing.

In the interest of full disclosure I have received a free "new test model" from Xhale02. I wrote them about the disappearing stock from 7-11, no comment but here's a beta version of our new cig. I asked if I could talk about it, no response.

So... it's the same thing, no brass finish on the battery connector, slightly longer threads and the new atty has a thinner bridge but seems to be a little more sturdy, vapes the same all around. This was an unsolicited freebie and does not affect my feelings of this product or my new found affinity for my RiVA which is my every day pv.

I too have these tester models I got 4 of them in the mail from Xhale o2. Not all the old atomizers will work on the new batteries and the newer version is suppose to last much longer than the old. 7-11 is still stocking them yet they may stop if/when the FDA starts cracking down more on the
sale of the devices. with wanting a good outcome and ruling from the courts soon more retailers will start offering PVs.


As far as Xhale goes
Quality gets: 1 some of the newer batteries are bent and the atomizers are not as easy to use with out the inner juice cartridge

Vapor production/TH:6/0 good amount of vapor around 401/901 standards very little to no throat hit

Flavor Production: 9 Surprisingly good amount of flavor can be detected in the vapor even in juices that have very little flavoring in them. You can also pinpoint distinct mixes

Cartridge Flavor and longevity: 4/2 Tobacco tastes like Vomit reminds me of Johnson's Creek Tobacco flavor or the Frisco flavor from Vapor Station but more potent . Menthol Tastes like Menthol but is so powerful it caused a nose bleed... E-hookah flavors they really tend to taste the same except for the vanilla which tastes very good the others taste like mix berry skoal ( e-hookah contains no nicotine) The cartridges are almost worthless the inner cup tends to melt and is not worth leaving in there. I suggest holding the device to the side and dripping about 4 drops on the atomizer and use the cover that was on the device when you first opened it. Do not drip holding the battery vertical it will rune the battery and void the warranty.

That is my review and thoughts on the Xhale o2 super mini

My nicotine level stayed the same when I started using juice and refilling. But if you're unsure you could buy one small bottle of juice in a higher level and another in a lower of the same or complimenting flavors. That way you can always mix them together and get 10-12 mg. But also have the ability to try something lower nicotine and see if its still satisfying. And when you get a bad craving for nicotine or for an analog, a bit of higher nicotine juice is helpful.

Edit to add: Oops, didn't notice the thread had gone to 6 pages already. I was answering your question you asked toward the end of the first page, lol.

Hey, that's okay. I appreciate all input. What do they say? Better late than never, right? : )

Anyway, I've yet to experience the new batteries/atomizers from xhale02, so I can't give any real opinion on them. I'm not actually sure that I will bother with getting another xhale02 starter kit from 7-11 in any case. I'm getting used to my mostly Intellicig m402s and their handy PCC. My xhale02 has become something of a backup to m402 model e-cigs. Now I'm just using up what e-liquid I have, and am planning my next e-liquid purchase. My only real negative about using the m402s right now is that the "handy" PCC is still too large for my tastes. Despite its cheap plastic construction, my xhale02 carry case is holding up pretty well. It is a nice, small and light package that fits more comfortably in my breast or pant pocket than the m402 PCC. I wish my xhale02 carry case was a PCC. At least it fits my m402 batteries, but it doesn't really fit the cartridges (which are just a bit too long), so I can't really effectively use it that way. It's a shame, but there really are not any other good options I know of right now. The m402 PCC will just have to do. At least it has held up well also, but I wish the flip-top would stay more securely closed. It doesn't have a latch or anything like that, it just pops open with a light flick of the thumb...or anything else that comes in contact with it. Kind of a lame design in that respect.

Unfortunately, many recommended brands of e-juice I want to try are not available to order in small (5ml) sampler sizes, so that makes checking out a large variety difficult to do. Most of the flavors available in "sampler packs" are not flavors I would normally want to try, so going that route isn't all the efficient either. As to nicotine level, well...I am supposed to not only be giving up smoking (done that now), but am also supposed to be cutting back on nicotine (arguably to where I'm completely off the stuff at some point in the future). Because of that, it just doesn't seem right to be boosting my nicotine levels. I've gotten by okay so far, so I think I should continue for now with low (8-12mg) nicotine levels. Does that seem reasonable? Taste clearly seems more important to me. I think that is true with most of us, though perceived throat hit satisfaction level certainly has something to do with which tastes we like and don't like.

It may sound horrible, but (despite my vague awareness of legal and regulatory issues revolving around e-cigarettes) I'm just not that up on what is going on lately with e-cigarettes in the news. Anything particularly significant going on? (Other than the usual regulatory agency power grab moves?)

Ya the fda sent out some warning letters about standards in which the juices are produced in to like 5 companies.

 

[billybc96]

I see. interesting. Anyone know which 5 companies?

 

[tryn2learn]

Its posted on here

 

[billybc96]

Okay, thanks. Sounds like a subject that's being covered well elsewhere on the forum.

Billy have you figures out what battery the xhale is i thinking about seeing if there is an adaptor for kr808 carts
