KR808D-1 clearomisers in the UK?

[Dave Vader]

Hello all, been lurking around here for the last month or so since I took the leap from proper cigs to these things.
Started with a Nucig (as recommended by a friend) and didn't really get on with the taste of it, so I bought a kit from smartcigs instead. Which I liked so much I bought a spare battery and a tub of eliquid.
However, because I don't smoke much during the week, I didn't realise how little I got from these kr808d-1 things. Usually a cartomiser lasts me about a day (or did until i started trying to fill them myself, think I'm getting the hang of it now) but then I had a night of drinking and in the space of 3 hours I went through 2 batteries and 4 cartomisers. So I am now worried about when it gets to festival time in the summer, where I will have no electricity for about 4 or 5 days at a stretch. Will I need racks of batteries and prefilled cartos? Or is there a better way?
In the short term however ,I'm just looking for something that lasts longer than a standard cartomiser that fits on my smartcigs batteries (KR808d-1) and is easier to fill up than a cartomiser.
Any suggestions?

Also tips on how to refill those pesky cartos, I only used to get through about 3/4 of an ounce of baccy a week, so smoking didn't cost much, and I don't want vaping to get hyper-expensive. Which it is looking to get on.

P.S. Need to be from the UK, I've seen plenty of USA options, but they don't help me much.

Hi Dave! Welcome to ECF!
I don't have the answer for you, as much as I'd like to. I think Volt may be an 808D thread, although I'm not absolutely certain. Of course, if you insist on a UK vendor, that won't help you much, so maybe make 4 more posts and look in the UK thread in an hour?
In the meantime, if you aren't fixated on a cigalike, look into a 510 thread. They're more popular, so you'll have more options. Regarding cost, I'm still $300 in the hole, but I consider it worth that to have quit smoking.

PS. They probably make cig lookalikes in 510 threading, but I've never checked that out. The 510s I know are about the size of a slim cigar...
PPS. Just occurred to me that this is a UK based (and founded) forum. I feel like such an idiot. I'd like to apologize for directing you to the UK forum. It may be the best place to look, but I still feel pretty stupid.

No worries Kopfstimmen. I thought it was US based going on what I've seen so far. Puts me in my place.

Might have to move to a 510 then, this is going to get expensive.
I know what you mean about it being worth it to quit smoking, but I had to wait til I had enough disposable to start on the e-cigs, 25 odd pounds pre starter kit is quite a bit. COnsidering I don't spend that much a month on tobacco normally.

Thanks, and EU vendors are ok, as long as the postage isn't crippling.

I bet a 510-808 adapter would widen your range of chioces

Thanks geofxc, will look into it.
