Hello all,

I am fairly new to the e-cig world and have purchased 2 different brands of e-cig. The first one I bought was from Club 51 and it wasn't that bad, I just had a few grievances with the way it performed. Recently I turned one of my friends onto the E-cig world as an alternative to all the "smoke breaks" that he always would take at work. After that, he found a distributor thru some family members of his and came across this unbranded e-cig. There is no brand name on any of the components of it. The only markings that I can find on it that might link it to a specific brand/type was a small symbol on the USB charger that came with the kit. It looks like a V inside an eye shaped circle. Even the small box that the refill cartridges come in is generic looking with only the words "DISPOSABLE ATOMIZER" on it and a dotted number stamped on the side of the box "R18". The box is white with a light green wave/mist design. There is also a barcode on the side of the cartridge box ( 6937281000150 )but I have not had any luck IDing this brand. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Ogre is right. We need pictures. Sometimes a picture of the device itself will help because we might be able to identify the threading. All atomizers are disposable, so that doesn't really help, and a few companies use the generic green wave and white mist design. If you could find out where they bought it, that might help, too.

The 2 examples that you posted are close looking but the one I have doesn't have those distinctive bands around the battery. The one I have is just plain white with no bands or other markings on the battery stick.

The main reason I am curious about identifying this is to make getting replacement cartridges a bit easier and provide a broader scope of options on the strength/type of cartridges. Currently I would have to drive an hour away to the guy that I got this from in the first place.

Currently the guy selling this kit has the 5 pack cartridge for sale for about 15-20 bucks and I have no Idea of the types/strength/flavors he can get and it would be way easier and possibly cheaper if I can get them online.

WOW, that is a rip. I would suggest you look at some of the suppliers well supported here on the forum. You will get a much better device and e-liquid that tastes better and costs much less. For a newbie, I would suggest a manual (never an auto) battery Riva or eGo type 510, blank cartridges and a couple of bottles of e-liquid in a flavor you think you might like. I would also error on the side of higher nic strength vs too little, say about 24mg. Hope it works out for you.

The branding of 51-duo just sealed it. Now we know where they were purchased and what kind of battery it is. It is indeed a KR808D-1 and here is the link to Smoke51.

Definitely overpriced. You can get replacement batteries and cartos a lot cheaper from other vendors.

Not sure I follow you on this one. You posted a link to the Club 51 site. I am looking for what type the OTHER one is. The cartridges for the 51 duo do not fit the newer one I just got. I purchased the Duo a few months ago and from a completely different retailer.

Well for one, I do not want to get the cartridges that I have to refill, just not what I am looking for. Also, I actually prefer the Automatic versus the manual as with the manual one, the button sometimes gets pressed accidentally in my luggage while traveling and waists a charged battery and the cartridge that is on it at the time.

I figured that going thru a middle man of sorts, that I was paying more than I needed to, and assuming that we can ID the right replacement cartridge I am positive I will save money in the end (considering I already wasted what I spent on the 51 Duo).


Strength is also a concern I have as I was recently a 2 pack a day smoker and have quit them altogether ( with the help of the e-cigs).

I haven't read through the whole thread but if Club51 is related to Smoke51, Smoke51 is an E9 compatible according to the compatibility chart.
Brand and Model Compatibility Chart - E-Cigarette Wiki
E9 is a Chinese wholesaler super-mini 2-piece model. Offhand, I don't know any US vendors that carry E9 but you can find photos of it on the web by searching for E9 e-cigarette on Google. The chart also lists Smoke51 as compatible with SGE407 which I never heard of.

So if it's a Smoke51, then smoke51.com actually has reasonably prices filled cartos for it but all of their replacement parts are outrageously priced (like $50 for a battery which is 5x what I pay for batteries for my PV)

Ok, exactly how many different types/sizes of thread or cartridges are there? I know that I first stated that I was just interested in prefilled cartridges but after reading some of the threads here I think I might like filling my own. So if there are only 2 different sizes then I can work with both but if there are more than 2 sizes/types then I have much more research to do.
