Have a supply of XL Smileomizers that I would like to be able to use.

I need to find a replacement system since Vapor 4 Life is gone.

I found this shop in the UK that has a few of the starter kits left. Honestly, though, unless you got a whole lot of those coils left, you are just better off forgetting about them and going with some other setup. You will have to eventually and the cost of shipping from the UK probably isn't worth the price of the coils that you have left over.

Thank You Territoo. That would not help since I have the older KD808 cartridges. I am really looking for a new system for vaping. It would be nice if it would work with the Smileoizers that I have even if I have to use a 510 to KD808 adapter. I just don't know what would give similar performance. Long battery life and large capacity for juice.

You won't find any 808 or even 510 stick batteries that are regulated to a constant 5 volt output. V4L was one of the few who understood the market but the rest (99%) made "regulated" stick batteries that were only regulated in the marketing lies, not in reality.

I don't know if the V4L titan is regulated to 5 volts, but here you go

I need to find a replacement system since Vapor 4 Life is gone.

I recently helped another person switch from a V4L Zeus system using the following, and they love the vape more than their Zeus.

Kangertech EVOD Tank and coils:

EVOD Tanks - sold in a 5-pack only

EVOD MT32 Cotton Wick Coils (aka SOCC coils) 5-pack - get the 1.8 ohm ones

The coil heads that come in those tanks are going to be the older silica wick version instead of cotton. You may not like them, just pitch 'em if you don't like 'em.

On the other hand if you do find that you like them more than the cotton ones, you can still buy them at the same site...

EVOD MT32 Silica Wick Coils 5-pack (again get the 1.8 ohm)

Kangertech EVOD VARIABLE VOLTAGE Batteries - these can be adjusted up to 4.8 volts. I believe your Smilomizers might be higher resistance than the 1.8 coils above, so you won;t have to use it at the 4.8 volts, you will use a lower voltage setting. These are all longer and thicker than your Zeus. Try the 1000mah if that bothers you since it is the slimmest of the 3, then you can go elsewhere to find a 650mah Kangertech VARIABLE VOLTAGE EVOD battery:

1000mah EVOD battery

1300mah EVOD battery

1600mah EVOD battery

Kangertech EVOD Charger:
EVOD USB Charger

This is all older technology but still available for now. The site above has fresh stocked batteries, no telling if you are getting old stock batteries when you buy these elsewhere. Shipping is a flat $10 regardless of order size.

Welcome to ECF, Jim.

 

[Rat2chat2]

to ECF Jim. So glad that you are here and I hope you find the advice/information you need here. Good luck to you.

 

[Jim Grove]

Thanks for the welcomes. I have ordered enough to try what Uncle Junkle recommended. I found a 510 to 808 adapter that I will try to see if it will work on the Smileomizers. Long term I would like something that holds more liquid, similar to the 6ml of the Smileomizers. Perhaps a MOD, but I no nothing about them.

 

[Territoo]

Many pods either come with or have available a 510 adapter. This allows you to use the pod battery base with a rda or rta. Some examples are the Innokin Sensis, Voopoo Drag, and the Aegis Boost. This would allow you to start off with a pod system then graduate to a rba. Then later you could get a mod for your rba, if so desired.

Thanks for the welcomes.

Welcome and glad you joined.

Perhaps a MOD, but I no nothing about them.

Since you are not into sub ohming you might want to get a mod with an internal battery built in. I think a battery like the
"IJOY KATANA 81W". is a good overall choice all things considered.

Glad to hear you're gonna try the evods. I hope you like them as much as the last V4L refugee I helped.

I disagree. A lot of the mouth to lung (MTL) and "tootle puffers" use mods with external batteries. One example I've tried personally is the Vaporesso Swag II, but there are lots of others. The benefits of using an external battery are that you can have one battery or set of batteries charging while you are using the other(s) and when the battery goes bad, you only have to replace the battery, not the entire unit.

I agree. Not to mention, in this day and age in the USA, the last thing you want is a built-in battery mod. Even if you buy a closet full of them, by the time you get around to using many of them the batteries will be dead..and all you have is a closet full of paperweights.
