Hey everyone im currently thinking of purchasing the V2cigs starter pack. Ive herd that these are the same as the kr808d-1 does this mean i can use any cheaper batteries and pccs? also do all kr808d-1 produce the same amount of vapour etc. or do they differ?
New to vaping. Help buying starter kit

They all differ, but they're closer to one another than to other types.
If a V2 is really a kr808d, you could use any battery with a 808 connection.
Or, you could use a 510 connection on a proper e-cig with a 510/808 adapter.
Consider what you're looking for and whether a V2 is really what you want.
They are extraordinarily over priced for what they are.
If you really must look like you're smoking, check out a Volt, a far better cigarette lookalike.
Little cigarette lookalikes have serious limitations that no manufacturer can overcome.
Their batteries are too small to produce a good vapor for very long between charges.
Small batteries will keep their charge for shorter and shorter periods of time.
You'll soon find yourself with a whole handful of little batteries with a combined cost far in excess of what a couple larger batteries would have cost you.
If you absoutely must have a mini-cig type PV, there are better models out there than a V2.
Look at the Volt and the Bloog. Those are the two best mini-cigs, according to most fans of that class.
If you aren't hung up on a PV that looks like a cigarette, you broaden your horizon immensely.
You'll spend less money in the long run and end up with a PV you'll be happy with for a long time.
Chances are that if you smoke more than a 1/2 pack a day of analogs, you'll end up getting away from the mini-cigs anyway. So you might as well skip it right from the start and save yourself some time and money.

The number 510 refers to a thread pattern, like 808, not a particular device.
More PVs use a 510 thread than any other single thread, so anything with a 510 connector can use more types of cartomizers, tanks, atomizers than any other device. That said, you can get adapters for nearly anything.
For new vapers, an extremely popular suggestion is a kGo or an e-Power. Both of them come with 510 connectors.
Both of them will perform a whole lot better than any PV that looks like a cigarette.
I'm not sure what is available locally in Oz, but if you go to Sweet-Vapes.com you can see both of these models so you'll know what I'm talking about.
You can use pre-filled 510 cartomizers or get blank ones and fill your own with any juice you'd like.
The biggest difference between the kGo and e-Power is that the e-Power takes regular batteries, so when your battery dies, as they all do, you only replace a $5 battery instead of the whole e-cig. They come in 2 sizes too. The bigger size has about 2X the capacity of the smaller size, or of the kGo. Either one will last a moderate vaper a full day or more.
The kGo is 1100mah. The e-Power can be anywhere from 1000mah up to 3100mah, depending on the battery you use.
Compared to a mini-cig, that's about 5 to 10X more capacity per battery.

I should also add that if the shiny chrome or whatever finish turns you off when you see the kGo or e-Power, there are other finishes available. It just depends on where exactly you get it from and what they have in stock at the time.
Maybe look at the E power if you would be willing to go a lil bigger than the V2 just because you can buy new batteries for like 8$ I have been told and the batteries work better that the little ones. I don't have one but that's what everyone recommended to me at 1st. I went bigger than the E power and bought a Lava Tube and tank but the E power did look like a really good Idea. If you are only comfortable with a cig look alike than that's what you should get because you don't want to fail at vaping because you are embarrassed of your PV and or uncomfortable using it. Some people never stop using them. I found that after a few months I needed more vapor and better throat hit so I went bigger but you need to make the best decision for you. Good luck on your journey and happy vaping
Also, the e-Power comes in 2 sizes. One is an 18650, which is the same as a Lavatube. The other one is quite smaller, a 16340 I believe. It's more the size of a kGo. The standard battery in the 18650 is 2200mah, depending on where you buy it. The standard battery for the 16340 is around 1100mah. Replacement batteries could be up to 3100mah for the 18650 and 1600mah for the 16340. Either way, the voltage stays up where it needs to be for many times longer than in a V2, or any cig-type PV.
Nothing will drag you back to analogs faster than looking at your hand with a dying battery and realizing the other one just got put on charge 20 minutes ago. Especially if it happens while you're out and relying on a PCC.

i have tried 808's from quite a few vendors and they were unsatisfactory until i paid the premium price for the vapor4life 808's
you get what you pay for
if your goal is to quit smoking then just keep it simple.
i have been using the xl 808's now for some 6 months, and have no desire to go back to analogs. needless to say i feel much healthier.

There's nothing wrong with Health Cabin. In the U.S., we spend a fortune on shipping and it takes forever, but that has no bearing on the situation in Oz.
Pinkspot and JC both have good reputations. No issue there.
Kanger is also a good battery, as long as that's what they really are.
Make sure to get plenty of batteries. No telling who made them before Kanger re-labeled them, or how long they'll hold up.
Boge is also a good carto.
You should do o.k. with that setup for a while at least.
It won't be a Volt, but it's better than a V2.

I'm pretty sure the threading is reversed on the kr808 compared to the 510/ego. You can get adapters though.
I totally agree with Sailorman, you should check out the Volt, I love mine.
I agree with Sailorman that you might as well get something other than the minis and save some cash. Most of those mini kits are stupid expensive for what they are.
I'm running a Kgo right now and it works great. I could have bought three or four Kgo kits with the money I wasted on minis when I first started.

just letting everyone know, that i used the kr808d1 for about two weeks and wasnt satisfied. so i went back to ciggies, then out of the blue i purchased a ego starter with stardusts and have never looked backed. dont waste your time with cigiie lookalikes
Hi V2is good. I think the Volt is better. Go to Utube do a sreach under ecigs. Hundreds of great reviews. Good luck
