I am new to ecigs and I have talked to Rob of Goodprophet hope its ok to give props to him for all the help. I saw them advertized tried a freebie from some company called Lux. Well Lux sux.
Thanks to Rob I got settled into a KR808.
Well I screwed that up cause the Lux was an 808 but wasn't compatible with Robs 808.
Long story short Iam very glad to be guided into the right direction.
Now I do have questions is the KR808 the best cause I know I loved it now just wish my kit would hurry up lol.
ejuice whats best
batteries how many should I have
Cartomizers are my favorites and they are refillible but how many times
Last thing since Ido spend time on computer a good bit should I get one of these usb passthroughs whatever it is.
Thanks in advance
James

Well, so much for the idea that all KR808's are the same. Clearly not.

  • E-juice is very subjective. It depends upon the flavor, nicotine level, base (PG or VG), and the manufacturer. It also depends greatly upon YOU and your taste buds, which will prove to be fickle as they come back to life. Are you a heavy smoker? Menthol? What brand? Be prepared to find that you like non-tobacco flavors; keep an open mind. Don't assume that Chinese-made e-liquids are automatically bad - they're not. Don't assume that USA-made e-liquids are automatically superior to juice from China - they're not.
  • Batteries and related - If you are at the computer a lot or have easy access to a usb port while you're vaping, that also cuts down on your battery needs. If you want to vape while driving, I'd strongly recommend the pass-thru that plugs into your cigarette lighter - it's fantastic. If you are out and about a lot without access to a computer or your car, you will probably need several batteries. (I like the XL's from Vapor4Life; they last all day.)
  • Cartomizers. If you already know that you like them, you should check out Vapor4Life because they have the largest selection out there in terms of flavors and nicotine levels. I'd list my favorites but there are too many to count! (I'm not 100% sure that they are compatible with your KR8, but if you call V4L or PM them, they'll be able to help you.)
Good luck!

Welcome!

Batteries - I bought 2 initially which turned out well because one of them died on me! It's getting replaced so I'll be happy to have 2 again. 1 gets me through the day at work but I'm nervous about it running out or being delayed & not having a backup!

I bought a USB passthrough after a couple of days, totally worth it to me. This'll also help your batteries last longer.

Can't help you on cartomizers, and e-juice is kinda subjective. I bought some from Tasty Vapor right away which I quite liked and got some samples from a variety of other places. Not terribly economical but I'm finding out what I like/don't like and what I'd like to get more of!

New myself, but though I'd put in my .02

I have the KR808D1 and I love it...

Ejuice whats best
When you find out, let me know.

Batteries how many should I have
Subjective but my opinion is better to overestimate than underestimate.

Cartomizers are my favorites and they are refillible but how many times
Once again, subjective. Depends on how hard you beat it up, what brand it is, how you refill/clean it, etc...

Last thing since Ido spend time on computer a good bit should I get one of these usb passthroughs whatever it is.
I have one, won't use it often probably just because i dislike being tethered to the computer... I'm on it enough! But it was incredibly useful while doing the initial charge on the batts.

Thanks in advance
You're welcome!

I know it's not terribly helpful, but the answer is that it depends! Some cartos are only good for a few refills but some last much longer. I am still using one carto that I got in November. I have refilled it at least 30 times. I'd say that my average carto is good for ~10 refills. Your mileage may vary.

Right now I am on cheapies called seneca full flavored . How many depends from day to day. I would say at least pack and a half to twp packs a day. The reason for wanting to quit is I feel like I'm couging up a lung and having sinus problems. I'm sure that I'm not the first to have all these side effects with what I now know as analogs
Thanks for reply
 
Hey all, I'm a newbie to the E-Cig world, just got mine today and I've already thrown out my analog carton that i bought yesterday, what a waste of money.

I have found a few things that have gotten me a little befuddled. I find myself vaping more than with an analog. As Arno from Awesome says, I will since the "flame" doesnt go out. Which is expected.

I ordered Menthol and it tastes like a Kool, my anaog choice. What are some good e-liquids that are favorable?
