The cartos are stickered yes, not painted. Yes it will peel off reveling stainless underneath, so it should not pose a problem ordering them that way.

sorry let me explain myself... I DONT like dealing with glue ( I'm going to use this in my GG AFS/AVS)... Thats why I suggested Isaac to have stickerless or stainless steel as a future options...

After vaping on my last remaining carto for 4 days, the carto is seasoning well. It did take two days of on and off vaping to properly season the atty.

It has been vaped exclusively on my eGo, which provides a tighter less airy draw that I prefer. I have been vaping it exclusively with my BB menthol at 18mg.

TH 4/5
VP 4/5
Fl 4/5

The "newness" of KR8s which I am not fond of, as dissipated. This may very well be the norm for KR8s, I have some others that I will give a whirl for comparative purposes. The funky/stale taste that develops after a couple of days with KR8s (in my experience) has not materialized as of yet. Now we are testing longevity.

Note: I never vape my cartos dry, so I do not know how long one will last per se. I am getting a solid 3 hrs between top offs (20 drops). Vaping time increases if permited to soak between sessions.

I see those numbers rising Switcher!
Are you starting to grow fond of them a bit?

I can't wait for mine to show up. I got the 808 e2s the long and short 510 e2 and I don't care for them, they make my juice flavorless, so I'm hoping these will be the ones.

That was my feeling as well. + the long one had a heavy petroleum smell and taste. It got tossed. They still have a bunch of tweaking yet to do. The V1 had an funky taste after 2 days.

Hard one to answer with all honesty. They have improved with age and that is not a major problem because we do not use cartos the way they were intended - one fill and toss. Will/can they replace the 510s? Nope, different race.

As I mentioned I have tried many KR8s and they are not my style, which is not a problem either as many others are indeed fond of these especially at HV, which for me is totally reckless. <----- for those folks I am not quite sure what they are after, but man it's harsh and I vape some pretty harsh liquids at HV sometimes. If ya ever smoked premium cigars - it equates to full body/full flavour, not harsh. Big difference! Mind you I mix my own. OTOH the 510s are indeed winners :)

Are they better than other KR8s, time will tell.

coming from using a bunch of KR808's ... It seems its different from batch to batch... I've used up a bunch of KR808 cartos but for some reason the consistency just in performance isnt there... Dont get me wrong but sometimes you could have one vape like a dream... Smooth, Flavorfull, and clouds and clouds of vapor... But I've found you'll have a batch that just vapes like your sucking on hot dried horse crap !!! Hey Switched use another new one and you'll see what I mean ....

Thats why I wish we had an actual atty, and cartomizer manufacturer here state side where quality is number one and not quantity ... Isaac, is the closest we have to a manufacturer when it comes to atties ( doesnt manufacture them , he mods them for HV, LR or XHV to his specs )... And for people that say it matters how much you pay for your carto ... not they're all the same, they all come from a China Manufacturer thats only after quantity...

I'll hold off and wait for Isaac to start messing with these cartomizers and bring out the HV ones...

That's the nice thing about adjustable voltage, you can set it to achieve the best vapor and taste. I've had a box of 5 cartos (not from Iken) that I needed 5 different voltage levels to vape with them.

Got mine in today!

I wish I had a multimeter(although I don't think it was the resistance)...the first one I tried tasted really burnt, hardly any vapor, and got really hot. No hissing/crackling noises at all. I'm not sure what was going on.

The second one I tried was an amazing, delicious carto. Like really, really good. The best carto I've had at 5V. I'll let you know if I get any other funky ones. Hopefully that first one was just a fluke!

Well I got my cartos today and they are long. I haven't tried one yet because I got 3 going now so tomorrow I'll give it a try. They sure do look good though.
Can't wait to hear how they work out for you good buddy. So the E2's came in yesterday, had a heck of a time trying to fill them, got pretty upset trying to hook up a bottle of juice to the syringe nozzle (making a mess everywhere) then injected through the bottom instead, it works, a good amount of vapor but no actual feel (TH) pretty bummed.

Well that's not good! Expect a tracking number via email soon. I was really anticipating to hear your thoughts on them. We'll remedy this for sure.
got mine in this afternoon. filled one up immediately, and started vaping. took a ton of liquid (didn't count the drops or ml). lasted forever. good vape, the carto got a little warm up at the top (I'm running 4.8v or so). haven't tried any of the other ones yet.
Just fantastic!
Just wanted to pop in and say, that I am on day 9, both cartos and been cleaned and are still going strong:)
9 straight days and still rocking them out! That's Great news! May I ask, what is your method of cleaning?

This tip is probably not necessary as they are not performers but... Use a normal syringe to draw liquid in syringe, and then change tips for injecting.

I cleaned mine by running hot tap water through and blowing it out.I repeated it about 5 or 6 times.They work fine after cleaning.Just make sure they are very dry.
Beautiful Keyzy,
Thank you for the method, I'll give it a shot as I hope other's have found this post and try it out too. :D

Funny story, first was a face palm, "Of course! a syringe!" Went to the mod box to grab it, then seen a white truck out in front. "Hmm Usps? USPS!" Got in HV 3.7Ω 510 Cartomizers in Stainless and Black. Couldn't resist, vaped and now hooked :headbang:
Also for MR Madness, I got in Full sized 801's in LR 2.5Ω and HV 3.5Ω. This is going to require ALOT of testing today for DOA purposes. So far they all came out wonderful.
