KR808 good to start with?

[Kelemvor]

these should never be used on more than 3.7V. really no kidding, but you will not have the
need to do that anyway. this thing on a manual batterymod produces more vapor on 3.7V than anything else.
the original greencig battery cutoffs to early and is not as much fun.

I dunno,I feel like its got to be an improvement.One burnt cart out of how many?

One burnt cart.. every burnt cart.. it doesn't matter at all. Not until you know what you're inhaling when they "burn". Then you can decide what the tolerable levels are.

It doesn't take much cyanide.........

Its been 7 months since I switched to cartomizers and my chest Xrays and lung function show remarkable improvements according to the Doc.I havent seen any negative effects.I really,really hope This continues.Is it possible its not as bad as cigs?I really really hope so.

I completely agree with you and have the same hope/wish!

Hi,

My cigar store carries the Elektro brand e-cig, which I looked up here and it's just a KR808.

As I understand it, the cartridges are 'cartomizers' so you never have to buy a new atomizer...you get a new one in each cartridge.

Would this be a good model to start with, whether I buy the generic one or the Elektro-branded one? Is there any downside to this model?

If I didn't have an interest in modding or filling up my own carts or cleaning the atomizers regularly...it seems like this would be perfect. But I don't know how reliable or prone to failure they are, etc.

The forum won't let me post yet in the Kr808 subforum.

I have one the 808 that is, great, no problem. Rather the cartos over the carts.

 

[AlexTM]

Whether that burned filling is as bad a cigarettes or not is utterly irrelevant. Banging my head against the wall is also not as harmfull for my lungs as smoking analogs was, but I still don't think I should do it.

Many cartos burn. People inhale that burned filling. And it's odd, no matter how bad cigarette smoke is, but the recommendation on inhaling fumes from burning, unknown substances is rarely ever recommended. Actually, it's usually a blanket "Don't!" you hear. So why exactly should we ignore those particularly fumes?

If they were unavoidable, it might be worth considering whether one likes this particular method of nicotine delivery well enough to risk them, as we did with cigarette smoke. As they are perfectly easy to avoid (even with cartos), I think it's gross negligence at least (and in many cases probably greed for freebies, too) to tell people to ignore the problem until somebody may or may not take care of it.

What do you think of the Jantystick or just using 901 atomizers on the KR808 batteries?

I think the eGo is a little long to fit in a pocket without disassembling and reassembling every time I want some vapor.

I don't like the feedback people are giving about the 501. And while I love the design of the volcanoecig, no one here seems to like it or the blu.

901 attys on kr8 batteries is a good, economical solution until you decide to maybe try the eGo, which I have heard great things about. I ordered the 901 attys and a few 901 tips, and I will be good to go. No worry about burning carts.

 

[MikeDeason]

as well as no need for passthoughs .

Nah...the PassThroughs are great in car and computer...no battery drain at all PLUS they are so much lighter than a mod w/batteries.

 

[AlexTM]

An eGo ist just a tiny bit longer than a regular 510, have a look at the pic attached. (Gotta make a better one soon.) It is by no means too long to fit into a shirt pocket.

A 901 on the KR8 batteries is a very cheap way of using up your KR8 batteries, and my 901s run on a 360mAh KR8 battery. Very convenient.

I am, personally, not too fond of the stick types, so I never tried a Janty stick. I will try an 801 when the BabyJ comes out, though; so far, I have little experience with them.

Those are the mayor three atties at the moment, and they are all quite different. I very much prefer the 510, I find the other ones a bit too mellow; and that goes for many people. Some flavours are a tad better in a 901, I think, though; particularly very delicate ones. No reason not to have both and give them a try. The 801, too many clones, too many types of battery mods, for my taste, as I said, I'll try the BabyJ when it comes out.

 

[satoshi]

I opened up a KR808 cart to see for myself. I've only been doing this for 4 days but this was a cart from a few hours ago...never refilled as I don't even own e-liquid yet. Look at this:

Oh I see, thanks. I hadn't seen them side-by-side, so in the videos of the eGo by itself the dimensions seemed a lot different.

I have an auto bat for my KR808, which I'm not too thrilled with, so I may start over with something else. I am still glad I tried it, though...this was sold locally at a tobacco shop so I thought it would be more convenient than ordering online and waiting for shipping etc.

I may go with an eGo or Jantystick, not sure.

 

[MikeDeason]

I doubt they will be making 3 piece units in 2 years.

The hassles of dripping, cleaning atomizers, always filling is not appealing to most.

Cartomizers are the future...they will get better.

From what I undestand there is no more plastic in the new KR8 cartomizers so the burning issue is now done.

 

[satoshi]

Where did you read that, about the new ones not having the problem?

 

[MikeDeason]

I read on this forum that there's no more plastic parts....don't know if it's true or not.

I've refilled the same KR8 cartomizer at least 15 times so far and haven't noticed any burning taste....

 

[MikeDeason]

Here it is...in Vapor4Life forum.

"No the battery connector is metal, so is the tube it's in. It has a metal post inside with a wire heating element and the only thing that isn't metal is the wicking and it's not plastic either. "

 

[satoshi]

But what's burning is the filler material, not the actual housing...? Whatever material that is...polyester fibers or otherwise...what're they doing about that?

 

[MikeDeason]

Apparently if you refill them before they get empty the filler material doesn't get hot enough to burn....

I guess we need the FDA to do some testing.

 

[satoshi]

That's one idea, or they could stop being so cheap and use a material and setup that doesn't burn at that temperature.

Sooner or later the FDA will test more than just smoking everywhere...hopefully manufacturers will have solved the issue by then. There's no way burning polyester or whatever it really is will.

 

[MikeDeason]

Yea, I'm told top up the cartomizer after about 2 hrs of vaping and problem will go away.

Where's the FDA when you need them?
