Question on Apollo ecigs?

I would be a little leery because of this:
Apollo Extreme Starter Kit
1. This kit is designed for those who smoke about 1~2 packs a day and require lots of vapor and strong throat hit. (Really? The battery lasts THAT long?)
2. This is also ideal for those who love mods but hate their bulky shape and messy refills. (Not all mods are bulky in shape and doing refills isn't messy.)
3. The ecigarettes in this kit use the latest 2-piece design and technology.
4. The e-cigarette has extra long battery and cartomizer which will last you for a long time (Please define "extra long" because on the site it looks like a regular sized battery and carto.)
5. There are two 280mAh batteries and 5 free cartomizers in the kit (OH! This is the "extra long" battery! Let me see...280mAh will last about 3 hours, maybe more if you AREN'T one of those 1-2 pack per day smokers.)
6. Each cartomizer offers about 300 puffs (about 1 pack of regular cigarettes) (Another unfounded claim. No way in hell can anyone claim that a regular sized carto could equal 1 pack of cigarettes.)
7. The kit also includes a USB charger, a wall adaptor, and a car charger
I think you can do better. It all depends on how much you smoke per day and how willing you are to buy a kit that may or may not look like a cigarette.

When I buy an 808 I want know it is KR808D-1, not a KR808D-2 which has different threads. All of the nice blank new kinds of cartos are for KR808D-1.
I generally buy KR808D-1 stuff from general hardware vendors like LiteCigUSA.net or from Vapor4Life.com where the colors and prefilled cartos are
When I buy a 510 I prefer get Joye 510 and not potentially a clone so I buy at LiteCigUSA.net, Cignot.com, Liberty-flights.com
I also don't use auto batteries because I like to drip and to refill cartomizers and either of those can leak a bit. Auto batteries are more prone to getting damaged or killed by juice leaks onto the end of the battery.
But if they have manual batteries say the 808 is KR808D-1 then it should be fine. If they say it is a Joye 510 (like Volcano ecigs has said theirs is) or maybe a Boge 510 would be OK, and have a manual version then the 510 should be fine too.

I am actually using their extreme kit right now, I like it a lot.
I understand suspicion to a new kit, but a lot of this is not true. The batteries last me about 1/2 to 3/4 of one day, and though I don't constantly have it in my mouth, I use it a lot. I used to smoke about 15 cigarettes a day.
Secondly, refills are messy, I trade off with my Joye eGo and this Extreme Kit. Refilling the eGo is a mess, especially when it somehow leaks.
I am thinking of writing a review of this kit actually, I have only found one other review, would anyone be interested?

hmm. I see some inaccurate posts here. I have had the Apollo Extreme for about 3 months now and cannot say enough good things about it. It delivers in every way for those who do not like mods. That would be me. It offers great taste, excellent throat hit and battery life and customer service that cannot be beat. It also has an unbeatable warranty as well as free shipping. What is there not to love. Apollo is, IMO, one of the best e cig companies ever. You will not be disappointed in either the product or the service.
So then you would be able to let us know what model / threading the Apollo extreme uses, and the actual mg on nicotine in their cartos, high, med, low is hardly descriptive enough. So long as Ohm's law isn't repealed battery life is dependent on the mah of a battery, and how many amps you draw with the atty / carto.
In all reality, how many of you can actually take a good 4-6 second drag on a real analog? Now, I know you have to adjust to vaping and most vapors typically do a good 4-6 second drag on their e-cigs. Don't believe me? Just check out any video review. Now, don't get me wrong because I do it too. I love the long hits of my Volcano Inferno. The rush makes me feel good. However, there are lots, and I mean lots of people looking to start e-cigs and when they try any device that I'm using at the time most of them take drag like they are smoking. Typically that means about 1 to 2 seconds tops. Those people want the cigarette feel. Apollo gives them that. I love anything 510, but only a week with my Apollo Standard kit and I'm still in heaven. They state in the technical section of the product that it is a 108. And, it works with any RN4081 like nJoy Npro and the Logic disposables. Also, I did a test with 1-2 second puffs and a carto did last 220 puffs. Now if the average smoker takes 10 drags at 1-2 seconds on a real cig, then the carto does equal 1 pack. Personally, I spoke with the office manager Rob and did a live chat with Ted and Kim. They are all wonderful and knowledgeable people. I think if you give them a chance, you will be happy.
By the way, the Extreme is a 906, but I don't know what that is compatible with.

I don't think a review would be anything but helpful. I say go for it.
Those aren't 510 atomizers... a 510 atomizer has male threads...Hi gang
considering Apollo extreme starter kit? Anyonw with experience with Apollo?
Also have both 501 and 808 cartomizers . Are either compatible.? Not sure if Apollo is a 510 or 808 (or somethiong else). Thanks
Toup
Edit: nm I didn't look close enough those are male threads it could be a 510 but my 510isn't exposed like that. hard to tell for sure just by picture. My 510 is like this one but not from that vendor.

Never times my drags on a cigarette, but it was never 1 second.
Here's a link for a 108 kit to try $14
J108A Disposable e-cig
And if you only puff on it 4 times a day the battery will last a week, a good e-cig will provide a cigarette drag to the user. A tiny 3.7v battery doesn't have the mah, C rating, discharge amperage to produce the watts. A 6v mod with a standard resistance 3 ohms, could produce the wattage (12w) for a 1 second draw.
The 906 is compatible with a.....lets see a 906, that would certainly open up your options for buying from any other supplier.
I would never want to be tied to a single vendor for any product. JMOLOL When I started smoking, I did so because I enjoyed smoking. It is one of those rare pleasures in life despite its many risks. When I started vaping, I did so because I enjoyed the taste, the action that so nicely mimics smoking. When I started smoking, I never thought about investigating the technology of making the cigarette, growing the tobacco, measuring the smoke output, etc. I just enjoyed what I got from it. In vaping, I have found that I constantly look for a product that offers me the most pleasure I can find and companies that offer great customer service. I do not care about measuring the mah or calibrating or dissecting the product. I just want a few things: I want it to look like the real thing cause that's my preference; I want it to taste and hit good; I want a warranty beyond a week in case I get a dud; I want cheap shipping and fair prices, and I want quick shipping. I have been buying from Apollo for about three months now, and I can testify that they are an outstanding company that offers me everything I personally look for in an e cig. I simply don't care about specs and measurements as long as I am getting what I want. Dissecting and overanalyzing an e cig takes away the simple pleasure of using it. I love the Extreme, and I stand by my endorsement of it and Apollo for people like me who simply want to enjoy an e cig that looks and feels like the real thing. I am NOT interested in mods and cannot understand why some posters continue pushing them on people that don't have an interest in them.
I suggest that you ask Rick to address specific questions. He will get right back to you. apolloecigs@gmail.com

Interesting, so when you buy a car, you don't care if it has the power to run the air conditioning and go up a hill at the same time?? Having to fill up the gas tank every 25 miles wouldn't be a deal breaker either, and so long as they smiled at you in the service department, having to get your oil changed at only one dealer (they are the only ones with the parts) is fine.
Guess the uneducated consumer is the best consumer, at least for some vendors.....
sherid, I completely agree. People do have to decide for themselves and it's gonna discourage people from continuing with this awesomeness if they start with something that's going to be the complete opposite of smoking. But just like anything out there, some will love it and some wont. I love the mods, but I also love the cig style ones. But then again, I'm easy to please where others aren't.
And that's why the standard kit has a pcc. I vape on it constantly and charge 2 to 3 batteries a day in it and the pcc charges 6-8 batteries before it needs to be recharged. I'm a technical guy, but I don't really care about the volts and ohms. And I'm sure a newbie who wants to get started doesn't either.
Interesting, but not disposable as it comes with a charger. But looks like a good way to start if you wanted. Every e-cig I've tried the carts are garbage without modding them though. I think a better way to start is with one of those $10 disposables you find in 7-11. I tried one for kicks and not bad.
Yep, comes with a charger, same as the Apollo Mini kit, just $20 cheaper...
It isn't 510 compatible, but their newsletter said they will soon be getting in 510 compatible kits, and eGo/kGo too. I will write a review tonight hopefully, I'll link to it here.
I'm glad someone tested the # of puffs! I never go by the rating of number of puffs because vendors often just throw out an impressive number.
I'm the same way with my 510's and Extreme Kit-- they are different, but I like the diversity.
I didn't know about those compatible cartos, I'll have to try those some time.

Typical cigarette drags are 1-2 seconds, any more on a real cigarette (non-light) and your lungs will probably cry. I tried it yesterday.
As for your link, sure there are cheaper models, but "cheaper" is exactly what you'll get. And the average customer cannot be expected to look through the "Category" list on madvapes and find what they're looking for, especially if they're new to ecigs. Apollo gave me a free disposable as well for an order over $60 - not a rechargeable one though; I don't see a reason for a kit in between a disposable and entire kit.
Reading through your posts, I'm not sure why you are so out to prove that this is a bad product, especially seeing that you don't own it.

Again, credibility is undermined by lack of experience with this product and company. Sure there is reason for skepticism with new companies, but it seems you are out to get them. Did you have a bad experience with them?
