I recently purchased the KR808D-1 as my first E-cigarette. I only got 5 cartomizers with the starter kit and want to purchase more so I have back up to refill with juice later.... For now I want to try out different Niccotine strengths + flavors to find a happy medium for me. Browsing around here I have seen V4L mentioned and went there and saw they had sampler packs which I was definitely interested in... But will they be compatible with my e-cig? How can I tell which ones are? What are the best sites to buy cartomizers and juice from? Also If I was smoking 20-24 Ultra Lights a day, what strength in MGs should I get?

Thank You in advance for answering my barrage of questions any extra tips you can add would be great too since im new to this

I'm new to the carto thing but I'll tell you what little I have found out. I use cartos from V4L on a 901 battery with an adapter and it works great. From what I've read other cartos for a KR808D-1 will work with other KR808D-1. I have only purchased cartos from two places so far and I found both to be equal in the amount of flavor, TH and vapor. Not sure about other places though.

As to what mg you should try, that is a good question. I smoked the equivalent of 2 packs of Marlboro Reds and Marlboro lights every day. I could vape 20-22mg and be fine but if I vaped 24mg I would get a massive headache. Others that smoked the same as I did can handle 36mg and yet others have to go lower. It is basically a guessing game when you first start out as to what mg is going to be right for you.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I got my starter kit and carts from LeCig. They work well. I've been a pack a day full flavor smoker for decades and went with the 24mg. Since I seem to puff on these more frequently than I did analogs, these seem just a tad strong. I'll be cutting back to 16 mg next time. Since you've been smoking ultralights, I wouldn't go over 16mg if I were you. This is just my opinion.

So I should be able to buy any kind of cartomizer (like the ones on V4L)and it will fit my battery? I got 16mg carts to start but i'd like to lower so I can vape more often without getting headaches... I was also thinking of getting 0mg ones so I can vape those for when im doing it out of boredom not neccessarily to get the niccotine... Do people tend to do that?

The V4L cartos should work fine, their stuff is all kr8

I smoked 20 light or ultra light (whatever was on sale) cigs a day and I have found that 16mg is a bit high for how much I am vaping. I have ordered 11mg due to constantly sucking on this stupid thing :)

I have read many people order 0mg to vape out of boredom, habit or just taste
