No not typically. These are the threadings cartomizer makers/sellers support one or more of

510 - most supported
KR808D-1 - most supported 2-piece threading, good number of prefilled cartos and blanks

DSE801 - decent number of interesting atomizers and cartomizers
DSE901 - not so much but may be able to use some KR808D-1 cartos with no adapter needed for airflow

RN4081 - not much selection - at least one kind of blank carto, one a couple of atomizer types for carts, prefilled cartos from a few companies
M401 - a skinny little thing - sometimes can you find one kind of cartomizer

The above models are also what are supported for adapters

Exception - the rebrander model KR808D-2 - leCig has adapters to/from KR808D-2 and KR808D-1 since they used to sell D2

The only way you will ever see much cross-manufacturer support for a new threading is if the new-threaded model becomes extremely popular.

I'm already researching the Ego! ;)

Umm, I checked out your e-cig of choice. Under the accessories, it shows this:
USB Charger for Apollo Standard E-Cigarette (Model AK108) Batteries//USB Charger for Apollo Extreme E-Cigarette (Model AK906) Batteries
Now you will know which model to find parts for. Its not as common as many others, and ordering will likely have to be from China, so order now, unless you change e-cigs...
Welcome to the forums. There are lots of great people here.

I hope your Apollo kit arrives quickly and that you will be happy with what you've bought :2cool: -- if not, they seem to have good customer service and I don't think you'd have a problem returning it. This rest of this post is for anyone interested in the Apollo. My Apollo Extreme Kit arrived (3 days to cross the country and 1 day to sit in the mailbox :facepalm: while dummy here kept looking for it to be dropped off on the front porch!) and I am now day 2 vaping and still on Chantix too. I wasn't sure if I would stay on the Chantix or want nic so I ordered medium nic strength. I have smoked Kools for 40 years so it is a wonder I can taste anything. These are things I have noticed:
1) 2 piece is so easy but wish I had ordered at least 1 manual batt so I could drip. What was I thinking? Simplest is NOT always best.
2) Batts have lasted about 6-7 hours -- not continuous vaping but quite a bit. I've used up one cartridge and am working on another.
3) Enough throat hit to satisfy me. Just enough, unless you hit it like something it ain't!
4) For me it is better to vape something that does not taste like an analog. That just might make me want one.
5) Menthol tasted icky the first day -- fine today @@ do NOT expect a real cigarette taste. Coffee gives a hint of coffee, cherry is fine too. Did not order vanilla and have shied from the free tobacco cart. The taste is immediate and then gone.
6) Already would like to try more flavors. Contacted Apollo today and they said they are coming out with a new line and more flavors at the end of the month. I'm already thinking about a 510....
7) I have not smoked an analog today -- not one! Have thought about it but every time I get serious about doing it I pick up my pv and vape.
8) I will not beat myself up if I do smoke an analog but will go right back to vaping.
9) Two of my cats seem strangely attracted to the scent of my breath and the scent of the pv so everything is stored where they cannot possibly get to it! I don't know if a medium nic amount could kill a cat (I suspect it could) but I don't want to be the one who finds this out!

Sorry to hear that happened! I know I'll have to sign for mine when it comes. lol

Congrats on not smoking an analog today! To me, this is so good to hear and encouraging! You have to give yourself the time you need to transition. I know this and hope I can do just as well as you're doing.

I ordered all menthol carts in high, medium and low strengths. I also smoke menthol, but they don't taste like it anymore. lol I tend to stray away from things I think will be sweet. I go for mint flavoured gum, etc...I must admit though, that I am tempted by the coffee flavour (another addiction. *sigh*) and will probably try that next. ;)

I think it's a very good idea to keep it away from your cats. If chocolate can be dangerous to an animal, then nicotine definitely is!

I am sitting here vaping coffee while I drink coffee. I made it through the day yesterday without smoking. I know it is cliche to say if I can do it anybody can, but really, heavy smoker for 40 years.... The first thing I thought when I awoke this morning was to have a cigarette, but I picked up my pv instead. Not as strong, but I can do it. You're gonna be able to do it too! I know you will! I can't wait to find out your opinion of your kit!

Looks like you've gotten a ton of good advice. Vape-ing got me off cigarettes and I loved smoking cigarettes. I quit a year and a half ago. I had a cigarette a couple of months ago and it didn't even taste good. I now would simply rather vape. Do what you have to do to get your supplies and enjoy the benefits of a smoke-free lifestyle.

Cheers!
