should i really expect huge vapor from this thing. im still getting slightly better vapor from the green smoke
That would give you relatively low vapor production, especially combined with a relatively low power battery on the basic 510. You still should be getting vapor though...just not huge billowing clouds.
I know I'm a relative newb, but I think you aren't doing anything wrong except you payed too much for a KR808D-1
I think GreenSmoke is KR808D0-1 which is a respected model, good battery life with standard and xl batteries, good flavor (though some cartomizer types are hot - I like the Coolcarts at Vapor4Life which I think are Boge brand cartos. If your cartos don't burn your lips then they may be Boge type). If you need replacement parts, try Vapor4Life for nice colors and lots of prefilled cartos (I recommend their Coolcarts over the premiums). And if you just use black or white batteries, those can be gotten cheaper elsewhere as plain KR808D-1 batteries. Do not pay $50 for a battery from Greensmoke. Batteries should cost about $12-15, maybe $18 for a nice color at V4L.
I like KR808D-1 somewhat better than 510 too. I also think the vapor has more flavor than standard 510 carts and the fit and finish seems nicer, at least on Vapor4Life's KR808D-1 which they call "Vapor King". I had my boss try 3 PV's and he preferred my M401 and the KR808D-1 to the 510.
You might like the 510 better with Boge cartos rather than carts, but then it would probably be about the same as a KR808D-1 but with a shorter battery life. The main benefit of the 510 is its upgrade path and flexibility. You can use it with carts or cartos, and you can also use the 510's attys and carts (or cartos) with a really long-lasting battery setup people here seem to be in love with, the Ego. So 510 is a very flexible unit and suits a lot of people.
Bottom line - there is nothing wrong with liking with Greensmoke better. Some prefer KR808D-1 (same as Greensmoke but not jacked up prices). But you might also be using inferior ejuice with your 510 (like 100% PG juice which does not give much vapor and is a bit harsh) or not have it working optimally for some other reason.

first few hits were good after washing out cartridge and adding drops to atty and cartridge now it tastes ....ty
I only used a cartridge for a few days, so I don't remember. Maybe an hour? If you drip 4 drops directly on the atomizer (direct drip method), it lasts for about 10 puffs. I changed to cartomizers fairly quickly because I didn't like the hassle.
yea i was thinking cartomizers as well. my mom is very rich and impatient so i already know what she is going to do
Blake- besides the info I gave you about Greencig and KR808D-1 on previous page..
Re cartridges like on the 510 and other cart models -
1. New attys often have primer fluid which does not taste good. There are ways to burn it off (with the cart off) or wash it off and dry the atty.
2. Reasonably damp stuffing contacting the atty well is what is needed for a cart and atty unit to taste good. So for example, just putting 4-5 drops on the top cart stuffing may wet an atty to start with and get a few good puffs, but it won't keep the atty wet. if the atty isn't wet you can get a burny taste from the stuffing. It's best to fill a new cart pretty well so the stuffing is all damp and maybe some extra juice under the stuffing so the stuffing will stay damp for a while. And make sure it is positioned right in the cart (hasn't been shoved in further by the atty).
Also - 510's are a bit directional - line up the longer dimension of the stuffing with the longer dimension of the atty's wire mesh bridge. That will give the best contact of atty and stuffing.

In the 510 PCC? Yes you can. There are 3 slots/holes that fit cartomizers.
... and/or cartriges.
Hey, glad you got the primer/shipping fluid out. That stuff is horrible. When you first get new equipment, you should blow it out and then fire it on your battery to make sure it's gone. This is called a dry burn, read some threads on it. They could at least flavor the nasty stuff lol.
Start reading every tips and tricks threads you can. I've never used 808's only 510's. I would recommend finding the ZFM or Zero Filler Mod thread. You might like it. Most "mods" are usually pretty simple, but some people struggle. If zfm isn't for you, look into so PTB or (lipton) Pyramid Tea Bag threads. I've seen PTB being described as the duck tape of vaping. These are catridge mods.
