KR808D1 and general questions (pre-purchase)

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi everybody! I just recently began researching these awesome products, and after lots of shopping and reading, I'm about 90% sure that I want my first PV to be based around the KR808D1 battery. Please correct me if I'm wrong; it's the exact same battery sold by Bloog and CigEasy, as well as a few other places, meaning I could purchase the starter kit from whichever company sells KR808D1's cheapest, then buy the cheapest compatible cartomizers from a different company if necessary. (Right?)

Okay, here's where it starts getting complicated. I really want to buy my cartomizers domestically. batteries/Charger/Kit can come from wherever, but for the recurring purchase of cartomizers, I want a USA company. I don't like the idea of paying oversea shipping costs every time I need some.

CigEasy doesn't have a phone number, and they don't seem to disclose their brick-and-mortar location anywhere on their website. They have the cheapest KR808D1-compatible cartomizers I've found, but I already don't like their business practices for these reasons. (If anyone knows if they're USA-based, please let me know.)

Okay, so, the biggest question I have for you guys is, where is the best place to buy KR808D1-compatible cartomizers shipped from the USA? The most important factor to me for these is PRICE including tax/shipping. I might eventually want to buy liquid and refill cartomizers, but to this newbie, that sounds like too much trouble, and makes me shy away from the whole concept. Instead I want the absolute cheapest KR808D1 cartomizers shipped from the USA. Can anyone help me out with this?

Also, one more question! I smoke Marlboro Reds and similar full-flavor, non-perforated-filter, king-size cigs. I smoke between 15 and 20 a day. The KR808D1 cartomizers are advertised as being equal to 20 cigs. If this were true, it would cut the cost of my habbit in half! However, everything I've read/heard seems to indicate that people get HALF as much use from a cartridge/cartomizer than advertised. If THAT is true, then the cost of my habit would be greater than or equal to what it is now! I understand the concept of your-mileage-may-vary, but could any readers share their experience on this topic, especially those who have/had similar smoking habits??

My thanks to all those who take the time to share their thoughts and experience on any of these questions! Thank you for your time!!!!! :D

For Quality of product, and the best customer service for KR808D1, I would defiantly suggest going with the Vapor King (Vapor4life), check out his supporting suppliers forum for testimonials. You might be able to get compatible parts (batteries, carts, juice) slightly cheaper elsewere, but trust me I tried that and wasted a bunch of money on crappy carts and juice. His batteries last almost a whole day (I was a 1/pack/day smoker) Also I use about 1 1/2 carts a day but I refill them (takes only seconds) I have been vaping for 3 weeks and have 6 carts in my rotation and none have died yet. Steve always answers questions pronto, delivers quick, and throws in awsome extras.

Thank you both for this helpful info! Upon learning that CigEasy is based in California, and after a helpful email from the owner, I ordered my first PV from them tonight. I looked at Vapor4Life also, but ultimately their price was more than I was willing to pay, at least without trying a less-expensive alternative first. We shall see if that remains true. Thanks again for the help guys!!

Factor in xtras, shipping time, customer service, and overall satisfaction...and V4L is definitely the way to go!!! You will NOT be disappointed! BTW...he has the best guarantee around!

i have purchased batteries and cartomizers from vapornine.com , nHaler.com , vapor4life.com and cigeasy.com

they all offer great customer service and good prices , with cigeasy.com probably having the fastest shipping out of all of them , i usually receive my gear the next day , but I'm sure a lot of that has to do with location.
 
I bought my KR808D1 from JustVape for around $38.00 plus $7.00 Shipping. For some reason I cannot access their website right now. You can also buy one from Puresmoker. It is called the Puresmoker Ace, which I like better because it has a blue LED. The price they have posted now is $30.00

I like it OK. My experience is that the caromizers can only be refilled about 10 times before they start tasting like crap, even after boiling them and refilling.

Hope this helps!
