Hey Everyone ...

Its been a long time since we actually imported full Chinese Kits (due to our unfortunate customs battle that we lost), but we felt we needed an *entry* level PV again. Allowing users to test vaping, without having to spend more money on a purpose built mod.

Kits (Minus ATOMZ -- Our word for Cartomizers) are $29.99
ATOMZ - Packaged in sets of 5, are $8.49.

Hopefully, within the next 7-10 days, we will have Ace/808 adapters for both the Prodigy and Protege :)

A special Thanks to Bandit for the wonderful pictures!

In your bushes, watching you undress
Glad you like the pics my friend.

I want to thank you for allowing me to test the first unit! I have been off regular e-cigs for about 2 months, vaping only high performance PV's, but have held on to my M401 just as a back-up in case I needed it. Lately I have heard a lot about KR808d's and was really wondering if they were as great as some were claiming.

Now I see the fascination! IMO this might be the best possible option for a new vaper. I will be giving some of these away as gifts to my smoking friends... especially the ones who don't have the time, patience, or skill to work with a regular 3 piece e-cig. Many of them won't want to mess with atomizers, cleaning or any kind of maintenance... this is perfect for them.

The Achille's Heel of the e-cig as we all know, is the atomizer. Some may last 6 months, some may last 6 days, and others arrive DOA. With the cartomizer you don't have to worry about the longevity because you throw it away and start anew with every new cart.

I was surprised at the throat hit. As much or maybe even more than a 510 (which was my e-cig of choice back in the day), and the flavor is pretty rich too. I can't speak to the vapor production because being so used to 5v/6v vapor production... anything less doesn't feel like enough, so my opinion is tainted.

Yes, I said 'taint", giggle.

So far I have only tried 2 of the provided cartos; Hot Fudge and Cash Cola... I liked the Cash Cola a lot actually... pretty darn good! I will be trying the rest over the next day or so.

I am surprised at the proposed prices on these, what a bargain! These should be on every vaper's Holiday Gift Giving List for sure.

Bandit, you're so good. :) You may not know this yet, but I'll ask anyway. How long do you think a carto might last? I SO want a couple of my friend to try vaping, and I know this is probably the only thing that would work out for them, with the lack of maintenance. I'm just hoping these won't end up as expensive as analogues. I know you can refill them, but that might be pushing things a bit for them. You know the type. ;)

They look beautiful! Again fantastic photo's Bandit! Love the color choices.

I was going to pick up a KR808 Kit this paycheck so I could have a devices to lend out to people to try. Now I don't have any reason to stray far from PureSmoker. I've actually been using cartomizers on both my Prodigy and Protege for the past week anytime I'm away from the house. Love dripping, but just not feasible out and about.

Ok Steve, let's ave some tech specs: mAh on the Batteries, is there a cutoff, if so how long etc...

You've got an order coming from me on Friday!

Hey Steve,

The PS Ace looks sweet! Will probably be ordering a couple as gifts. And as always, thanks for the awesome photos Bandit. :)

A few questions:
1) The wall plug - does it have a place for the battery to charge or can it only be used in conjunction with the USB charger?

2) Carto strength - strength goes from 18mg to 36mg...any plans for a 24mg strength?

3) Strength selection - A couple of the flavors won't let you select a strength..is that a glitch or are those flavors unavailable (get the yellow triangle with an exclamation point)?

4) Blank cartos - will you be selling them?

Thanks. :)

Will the adapter be like the others for the prodigy/protege or will it be a ***/cartomizer adapter.

Hey User ... Yes, adapters will be Prodigy/Protege specific, not extensions... :)

Hey Neko! Batteries are 280mAh ... 350mAh (long batteries) have been ordered. This first go around. Batteries have a 5 second cutoff time. However, there is no *shutdown* like some M-series PV's have. I normally take 7-8 seconds draws ... So I simply quickly unpress, then re-depress again to get that length of a draw. The longer batteries will have a 10 second cutoff!

Thanks Neko!

Can only be used in conjunction with the USB charger!

2) Carto strength - strength goes from 18mg to 36mg...any plans for a 24mg strength?
Not Likely, but we may depending on the amount of requests we get for it. We may try and go middle of the ground (25-26mg)

3) Strength selection - A couple of the flavors won't let you select a strength..is that a glitch or are those flavors unavailable (get the yellow triangle with an exclamation point)?
Still Waiting on More Flavors and Strengths to come in. We are getting them in box by box. Slow process when fully stocking up! No site glitch, they will eventually all be there :)

4) Blank cartos - will you be selling them?
Yes -- Should be available within the next couple of weeks

Thanks. :)

See Red Bikergirl :)

Can you put a 901 atty on this battery?

Great timing, I was just starting to think about Christmas presents!!

Bandit, great pics as always !!

Hey Never!

Yes, absolutely ... 901 and 4075 atomizers were great on these batteries!

Very nicely done. Both with the decision to not only carry but also brand an Atomz kit with the PS logo. I'll send some folks your way.
Need a charger case for them. People like the charger cases.
Maybe a nice PS logo there too.

Nice photos and review Bandit.

I've heard a lot about carto's and tried one with an adapter on my Prodigy @ 3.7v
Not what I was expecting but it had goofy juice in it.
I'd be interested in an adapter and some blanks. (Don't do PG) I could try them filled with what I'm vaping.

Someone needs to produce a nice Columbian/Jamaca flavor (ifyaknowhatImean).
I think it'd take the market by storm. LOL
It'd have to be a VG base though....

Again, nice work

quit tempting me to buy stuff!

actually, the carto/atomz are about the last cig i need to try.

well, not TECHNICALLY, but i've tried the 401, 510, 801 and 901. guess i need to jump on the bandwagon and read up on these badboys.

i think this was an excellent decision Steve.

lesser question though....will you be expanding the color line, or given it any thought? again...totally aesthetic for me...it's just the expressionist in me. i love random colors to mix and match ;)

Thanks for the update Steve. I was looking at buying a kit from another site, then came Ace. Really like the styling, that I can get your signature juices preloaded and of course your reasonable prices.

After getting the Protege I never thought I'd get another 'Kit', but I have a lot of friends interested in ecigs and the KR808D is what I'd recommend for a first timer. Lower maintenance, and much easier to explain. I'm going to keep a couple batteries and fresh carts in my purse to let people try.

Good question Flitz :) For now, we will stick with Matte Black and Stainless Steel (Since those are the two colors most people know us by) If these become Popular, I have no problem opening it up to a wide variety of colors :)

are they filled with the same juice as you sell? i wont name names... but some sites are weird like that...

No mOnk -- Juice is from Dekang (prefilled) BUT, I can tweak them quite a bit for my liking, like i do my own eliquid.

Appreciate the kind words Neko! Unfortunately they are not our *signature* juices quite yet ... Hopefully some tweaking over the next few weeks, and they will match up perfectly. Until then, they are still very good prefilled carts :) Best of luck with you and your friends, and using this as a tool to help show people!

Excellent pricing on this model. And I really like the logo too. I have someone in mind who would love one of these for Christmas ME....

I was looking into getting a few of the manual batteries anyway and now I have no reason not to.

And like others have stated already this is the best unit for on-the-go. The cartos last long enough to drive across town. And back maybe...lol...

I recently got an adapter to use these on the Prodigy at 5v and they are great... produce loads of vapor and the throat hit is Reckless as grimm would say..... I will be picking up one of the specific adapters though... just because.

I will definitely order some of the blank Atomz...(excellent naming.) Your pricing is what I would pay for them... And I can put the real Riskey yuice in them...
