It is pronounced "crate" ... but spelled "kreight."

This was announced to the world on Christmas Eve 2009 in this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...uncement-kr808d-1-kr8-pronounced-kreight.html. After all, the model is...

Although the abbreviation has been officially recognized by ECF (notice the mouse-over for Kr8), "808" predominates. This is unfortunate. There are many other ...808 models – very different from the KR808D-1, e.g., the DSE808 (a Joye Stick clone) and other Kanger KR808... (non-cartomizer) models.

Just curious; I see that the KR808 is often referred to as "KR8". Do you pronounce this as "CRATE" or "Kay - R - Eight"? ;)

It's an unfortunate and possible confusing shorting as it can designate several models some of which are not compatible. Although I do use it when, from other info, I know the person is speaking of the KR808D-1, when uncertain which model they're asking about, I'll usually write it out. In my mind and in speaking to others I say Kay-R-8.
