Question about 808 vs. 510

[ObsceneJesster]

1. If you use the same cartomizer from the same manufacturer and the same juice, will either battery produce more flavor or create more vapor?

2. Does the 510 cartomizer produce more vapor or does it give better flavor than the 808 or vise versa?

3. Do 808 to 510 adapters work well?

The basic rule is that the more power you have, the more vapor you will get.
Since the KR808 batteries are 3.7 volts they should give more vapor than the 510 when using the same cartomizer.

As for your second question, it depends on which 510 cartomizer you are talking about.

More power = more vapor
More voltage = more power
Less resistance = more power

So you can increase vapor by using higher voltages and/or by getting lower resistance cartomizers.
As for better flavor, that depends on the juice, as some do better at higher power and some do worse.

And finally, the adapters work fine.

hanks for the info man. Very informative. Since you seem to know what you're talking about, do you think I should have any problem using a 2.0 ohm cartomizer on my Manual Titan XL which is 3.7 volts? I was told 2.0 is fine but I shouldn't go any lower. What you think?

I was using a 1.5 ohm atomizer on my standard 510 batteries for awhile with no problems...

I'm sure others will tell you reasons why you shouldn't do it though.
And I'm sure those reasons have validity.

But I had no problem using that setup for the short time I was trying it out.
And I think at 2.0 ohms you'll be fine.

I just went back and read that thread again, and I forgot how informative it was.

You should definitely read that thread, it will answer all your questions.
And then some.

2.0 ohms should be fine, but it will kill the time you can vape on a single charge. You may want to consider one of the fat batteries (eGo, Riva, e-power, bolt,...etc) something in the 650 - 1000 mah range.

p.s. you can take what DC2 posts to the bank!!, He helped me out 18 months ago when I was a noob

Thanks Stosh!

Sadly, the newfangled technology has passed me by.
But even though I'm a dinosaur now, it's nice to know I'm not forgotten.


But truth be told, you probably know a lot more than me by now.
And I've seen you doing more than your fair share of helping around here too.

I just read that thread and I noticed you said that the batteries needed to be pumped a few times so the juice wouldn't burn. I've always thought the more continuous drags you take, the hotter the juice gets. Am I getting this right or do I have it backwards?

 

[DC2]

Yes, you have it right...

When I said pump it a few times, that was instead of keeping the button pressed through the entire drag.
I like to take long drags, and doing so with this setup made the juice taste a bit burnt if I kept the button pressed the whole time.
