Hi, I think the Smoketip uses a Kr8 or KR8-1 but I'm not certain.

I need to know so that i can find some blank carto's for it (suggestion for vendors would be hepful). I have been refilling the ones i have but it's not the same as having fresh blank carto's and the company doesn't sell the blanks.

This pv works for me, the batteries are guaranteed for life and the Volt under load is a true 3.7 so it delivers a great vape consistently. I just need a few battery/carto/accessory/adapter options that aren't available from the vendor.

All info is appreciated. Feel free to PM me.
Thank you~

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but everything about the site tells me this is an E9 type PV, and not a KR808d-1. E9 is also known as KR808d-2, and it is not compatible with kr808d-1. The E9 is an old type of battery, not well supported, and as far as I know does not have adapters available for it to change to other threadings. The site does not even mention that the batteries are autos, which they are...generally kr808d-1's are sold either as auto or manual. Also the only available cartos are prefilled, and the color scheme is the same as other E9 sites, like GreenSmoke.

The E9 battery is a true 3.7V under load, and so delivers a good vape when fresh. My experience with them is that they tend to lose their ability to hold charge well after a few weeks, so watch for that. Another thing that makes me say it is E9 is that the only cartos available are prefilled. The only place I know of to get blank E9 cartos is ............ Its a China-based company so shipping might be higher and delivery slower than domestic sites, but the prices for everything E9 will be much lower than Smoketip. Careful with refilling the cartos...I found VG-only juices do not do well in them. The price you payed for the kit was a bit on the high side, but GS charged a lot more, so you did ok. Careful also with the auto batts, as if juice gets into the central air hole it will tend to kill the batt. Also be careful using them in loud clubs...the E9 is very sensitive to loud noises and activate easily, also can activate from being jostled. The carto filler can have a tendency to burn if you hit too much or run the carto too dry, so be mindful of that.

E9 is my best guess based on many details of the site. Its a decent starting PV, similar to a kr808d-1 auto in many respects.
