New and looking for some help

[MommaDrama]

First, I hope I am doing this correctly, if not I apologize!

I decided to start using my old KR808D1 ecig after quitting "smoking" and leaving the patch.
Now, I have always purchased the pre-filled carts but I am looking for something different (meaning something that lasts longer). I was wondering what everyone suggested that I could try. I love my KR808D1 pre filled however I go through them quickly. I did purchase blank carts and juice but I am getting NO vap from the carts I filled myself.(Not sure why?) I have seen so many new kits on the market and I was wondering which would be best for me to "upgrade" to. Some seem pretty complicated to me as far as upkeep or am I just mis-understanding? Any help would be appreciated!

I have been vaping all evening on an iGo. I also have KR8's and really like them too. The iGo has an 1100mah battery and is similiar to the popular ego kits. I got the kit today and because it is KR8 threaded I can use the carto's i have now, or the larger carto's that fit it. Granted it's only been one evening but I have been vaping on one battery and a large carto for the last 8 hours.

I buy the Vapor4Life blanks. They are slightly lower resistance than Boge etc. I find liquids around 20% VG work best, mainly clear liquids with no sediment. 20% VG juices won't make a lot of vapor but they seem to make the carto work well longer for me. If you use thicker juice you might want to looser them slightly with a few drops of distilled water or pure grain alcohol (edible).

Other main choices - Joye 510 manual and I recommend the longer Joye mega xl manual (280mah charge life, same as standard KR808D-1). And use blank Boge standard resistance cartomizers. But same issue - work well longer for me with thin juices that leave no sediment.

Or go to Joye EGo or Riva 510 (fat battery model) and use Boge cartos.

With 510, Ego or Riva 510, the dripping method is also safe since these all have totally sealed end on their manual batteries.

MommaDrama,

If you want a No Fuss No Muss unit that will last you all day the new Echo Kit is a very nice kit for you. It has a carto that holds 3ml's of liquid and a newer type of Automatic Batt, No button to push just vape and go.!! You can use it all day like this vape after vape, comes in 3 different size Batts if size matters which it absolutely does, it comes in a 650mAH size, 1100mAh size and a 1300mAh size Batts. Check them out over at Cropduster901 dot com. I have one of these and out of all the units I have had and do have this one gives me no issues what so ever and works time after time day after day with no hassles what so ever.!

Personally, right now i love the new Ego-T Type B it is easy to use specially for beginners, and it is much better than the old Ego-T Type A, or you can try the Tornado Mega Tank

Since you already have a small battery PV, going to another small battery PV such as the 510 makes little sense. Moving up to a larger battery PV such as the suggestion of the IGo does make sense.

If you want even more consistency and less hassle, then other good options would be a good 5 volt PV such as the GLV2 from Great Lakes Vapor or a good variable volt PV such as the Darwin or Provari. With an adapter ($4) you can use your KR on any PV regardless of the connector threading.

I started with a KR808D-1. It got me off of cigs. But when I quit I was recovering from surgery and at home on FMLA. It was no big problem to sit and refill cartos every day. I had a few batteries and charging them was just a routine.
When I came close to returning to work, I knew the constant refilling and charging would be a big problem
I looked at the alternatives and decided to take a huge step and get a bottom fed Mod.
The REO was the only one that was mechanical and built out of aluminum. That was about 1 month after quitting I made my first REO purchase. I have only wished I would have started with a REO. Now my KR808's are seldom even used.

Whatever you get, If you get a fat battery model or mod then I recommend you get something well-supported with lots of vendors for parts, a popular threading and a long track-record and not some latest-greatest thing with limited suppliers. 510 threading has the most stuff. It has tank attys and tanks, has the largest variety of cartomizers including reservoir types, the widest variety of manufacturers making atomizers, and probably the largest number of adapters for using the stuff of other models.

Some examples of 510 threaded pvs are Ego, Riva 510 (if you want to use tanks I recommend these). Or for cartos and attys - there are some nice simple mods like Little Sister 3.7v mod

And there are lots more things with 510 threading.

The Riva 510 SE at Liberty Flights is 3.7v so you could put a 510 to 808 adpater ont hat and vape your KR8 cartos (assuming you filled them properly and fully with suitable juice)

One of the nice features of a good variable volt PV like the Darwin or Provari that so many ECFers are moving to, is being able try many different attys and/or cartos and see how they each vape differently AND being able to change your power level to better suit a particular atty's characteristics. 808, 801, 901, 510, etc all have their advantages. You might find you like one better than the 808. However, once you start vaping around 4.5 volts or better, you may never want to go back to vaping at 3.2 volts.

This is really good advice.
