Started on standard 510 a couple years ago. Moved onto a bunch of 510 mods and vv devices. Recently got some 808 autos for the heck of it, and they blow 510 batts away. The auto switch is very nice in the 808. only goes off one way and no problems with vibration. Battery life is better than 510 as well. I have used many devices and I can use just 808's and be happy. I'd would go 808 100%

Ok theres alot of random mAh numbers thrown around here, that will confuse the crap out of a newbie.
Kr808 autos offers mAh: 180, 220, 280, 320, 380, 420. the 80's are old type batts and the 20's are new type batts, with regulated voltage.
Have seen somewhere the manuals go in the 50's, but dunno why? 150, 250 and 350, as of now, but the newer types are talking manuals too. Wonder what their mAh will be...

Offcourse people will be bias, and recommend their own product. Because they use it, they like it the best... I however somehow think there are more 808 users who have tried 510, also, than there is the other way around. Because eeevery newb gets told to go 510.. As did i. And wasted alot of money.. I honestly DO not get the attraction to it. Its nothing like a cig in draw or feel. The vapor is cold and unsatisfying, with no TH, unless you go low resistance and that takes a toll on your battery AND messes up your flavours. No wonder so many end up buying big mods, the 510 is THAT bad.. that you'd rather carry round a handle from a lightsword or something to get a decent hit.. I so dont get it... If you want higher mAh, go for the pigcig or the igo. 808 threaded, and better voltage than ego and rivas..

Thanks for the mah #'s
It has been slightly confusing in that regard, no doubt.

I don't want higher mah #'s so bad I would go with an IGO/EGO or any other cigar+ sized and weighted unit. The actual cig sized are even a slight bit heavier than I like, and I've been using em (KR808D-1's and 510's) since last July.
Most women don't like em either, and in fact I've had some women complain the 808/510 is too big and not like their Virginia Slim (or the likes).

In my last 510 order I ordered 2 sizes. Small @ 180mah, and the larger @ 280mah (advertised). About 25 batteries in all, and all the side hardware.

True, we only eat turkey bacon (I miss pig bacon! Darn hubby and his wanting to eat healthier!)

I haven't started paying attention to things like mAh yet. I figure newbie wise, I won't really need to know that stuff anyway. They just want it to look like a cig, act like a cig and taste good. And not to have to have 20 batteries to get through a day. lol

Noo why bother... who cares.. Thats what we need.. More vendors, who dont know what theyre selling... That was the best part about starting vaping... My vendor didnt know half the things i asked.. Didnt make the transition frustrating at all... So if someone comes to you saying they bought from you but want more or less TH, what to do? You wont know, cus you dont even know the voltage or the resistance of what you allready sold them.. If bwb juice will work in the cartos? You dunno. How do these particular cartos handle vg? You dunno.... Someone getting a burnt taste? you dunno... Your going to have a hard time with this, if you dont care about the specs...

*Moderate vapors use about 2 batts pr day.... but ymmv.....

You could always offer an adapter for your kr808 batteries, so that people can try a 510 atty and cartos.. Personally, I like using 808 batts with 510 attys or cartos - best analog type combo out there!

I started using my 808 batts with my 510 clearomizers + adapter when my 510 batts are charging. It makes a somewhat long pv, but it's great combo. I'll stick with my 510's for sure, but this is a good way to use the extra equipment.

To put a bit of an update for myself. I started with 808 auto's + regular cartos - okay to start but generally sucked.
Then moved to a manual XL battery. Started to really like it, just hated carrying around multiple cartos to last me the whole day.
Then moved to clearomizers with my XL manual battery's - aside from the length they were amazing, just the battery would only last me for about 1/3 of the day.
Finally made the switch to a 510 Torch with the adapter (just cause I have so many 808 clearomizers) and I am in love. The battery lasts me more then enough for the whole day of heavy usage and I can get a bit out of it the next day (which is exactly what I was looking for)
 
Just got an order in of 25 , 510 batteries and kits ( a large variety of colors). I love em but I gotta say, even though I sell them, the 808's kick their tail in battery life, and I personally use both.

Best combo has been a 808 battery and a Bloog LR carto, but equally good (cept battery life) is the 510 with a Boge LR. Then a real treat is these dual coil 1.5ohm 510 carto's.....WOW!. Only problem I see with them is Q.C. issues on occasion.

Love a cig size and really love both models. 808 batteries are higher voltage, a little better mah and last longer, however.

I'm only selling to people who have no clue about e-cigs. It's hard enough explaining to them how a cartomizer works. Most of them "get" the condom method, but none have expressed an interest in removing the plug and putting the liquid in with a syringe. These are all friends or acquaintances I know well, so if they do have questions I would absolutely research and get back to them with an educated answer. I have been in retail sales for well over 20 years (at the age of 32!) and one thing I have ALWAYS prided myself on is excellent customer service. If I don't have the answer, I always find the answer and give it to them. I was taught that way. I am NOT some lazy seller who is just in it for money. Hell, I'm only making a $14 profit on kits - $5 of which covers the shipping! Considering the time and money I spend to make that $9 total, I am absolutely in the red. I am in this to help others quit.

I know my "customers" and know the information that they will ask questions about. If they decide to become more educated about e-cigs, I will help them with the answers I can find, and direct them to resources with the scopes of information they are interested in. I always got straight A's in college - being thorough and providing resources was key in that.
