so i have a few question before i place next order so i can try out more things, and also get out of the noob section!:2cool:

to start off, i have a kr808 volt using standard 3.0 ohm cartos. im wondering what would be the best carto for it? boge, smoketec, g4? from what ive read LR cartos give better flavor and more vapor. in return less battery life? so its not really recommended for smaller batteries. but i do not use it that much, so one 320mAh battery is already lasting me 1-2 days. if i get something like a 2.0 ohm how much less battery life would i get? (in a quantitative measurement if possible, like %).

i have several liquids already, most are 100% pg; if i added pure store bought vg i would assume i can get more vapor, but how much more vapor does vg compared to pg? and how much could i add without affecting the flavor too much, while getting noticeably more vapor. and the rating im looking for is USP kosher correct?
i want to order some liquid with vg next, what would be a good ratio? i dont care too much about th so i dont mind losing it.

what are some good site to order liquid from? preferably with cheap or free shipping so i can try a few and wont feel like ordering a ton to get combined shipping :)

also what is steeping?

sorry for all the questions and i think i had more but im currently drawing a blank... the suns rising here and i should get some rest haha
thank you!!

Welcome! Probably the lowest you can go with a Volt would be a 2.5 cartomizer. Not too many places have them. Ikenvape carries them as well as mega cartos for a KR808 but they were out of stock last time I checked. 2.0 is not recommend on your battery at all.

VG will give you more vapor but may diminish the taste of the juice because you're diluting it. You're also lowering the nicotine level. If you buy a small bottle, try it out with a small amount. Put some juice in a carto cap and add a couple drops of VG to it and see how you like it.

They recommend 80pg/20vg but it's really a matter of personal taste.

Steeping is just a matter of putting your juice in a cool dark place for a week or so. If your ordering PG juice, chances are it's premade and probably already steeped. If you order from a vendor where the juice is freshly made according to the ratio you want, usually it's best if it's steeped and flavors are enhanced.

Def agree with swedishfish, do not use LR cartos on your volt. LRs are only for bigger battery PVs and using them will damage your battery.

Like swedishfish said, adding VG will dilute the juice but you can do it. 80/20 is a popular ratio but its rerally just personal preference. 30%VG or less is the best for cartos and wont clog them as quickly.

There are alot of good juice vendors, but my recommendation is to check out BlueMist Vaping. They have a huge selection, over 250 juices and really cheap prices, $5 for 10ml, $10 for 30ml. They offer sample packs where you can pick your own juices and I recommend getting a few so you can try a bunch for cheap. All their juices are made fresh and you can get them in either 80PG/20VG or 100%VG, I recommend 80/20. They also offer extra flavor shots for .50cents more and if you find a juice you really like you can get a 180ml bottle for only $30, which is an awesome deal
