Recommend a long life batt for my KR808D-1 ??

[markmcs]

I am using a Smoketip KR808D-1 with standard 3.6v 250Mah batts. Can anyone recommend a longer life battery that will work with my KR cartos. I just got V9 Turbo carts (still waiting on the juice), and I'll be staying with them for now. I saw the Cig easy Elegant manual 750Mah and wondered if something like that would be good. I want a batt with a decent cut off time that works with KR cartos. If I need to get a different charger, please tell me. Thanks for any help.

definitely a elegant or the defender from vapor9 they are the same thing. i went the same route and ended up going with a variable volt mod in the end.

There are Elegant, Defender, Vgo and EasMall 901 Riva.

I was using 808D-1 for a while and was looking for same thing you are looking for now.

After all I decided to switch to 510 and couldn't be happier.

I sill have $150 stock of 808D-1 cartos, but don't use them anymore - just can't stand them after trying LR 510 cartos.

Really, 510 LR Cartos completely changed my vaping experience and, after 6 weeks struggles with 808D-1, I finally quit tobacco same day I received my 510 battery and cartos.

IMO, the best you can do, just get 510 Riva + [510 -> 808D-1] adapter. You will be able to use 808 cartos with this adapter, but after you try good LR (1.7 or 2.0) cartos - you will never go back.

I know 2 suppliers with good prices with free shipping for Riva:
strictlyejuice
electronic-ash

If you don't care about look, you can get 2xAA Box Mod with slow change LED - that's what I'm using.

The XL type 808 batteries are a next step, around 380 mAh, noticeably longer use between recharges. Vapor4life and others carry them. They're about 1" longer than the standard ones, same charger though you can't close a standard PCC lid if you put an XL in for recharge.

Elegant and a few others are in that 640 -750 mAh range.

NHaler and at least one other place carry the Greenworld/Greencig G400 -- that beastie is 900 mAH. Base kit with one battery, charger, 2 2ml (yes 2ml) capacity mega cartos runs about $60, I believe a second battery is about $35, and it also can use standard 808 cartos. (Don't forget to use saveinnj if you use nhaler); not cheap, but that's equivalent to more than 3 standard 808 batteries for each G400. I'm looking at buying one, just trying to get feedback on battery longevity after a couple months' use

if you're willing to go to a mod (and virtually all of them will work with cartos using the proper adapter), you'll find batteries like the 14500 (900mah) and the 18650 (2400mah), and they are much cheaper to replace when they go kaput.

I LOVE my XL batteries from Vapor4Life.com. They last me forever...and I vape pretty much constantly. One will last me almost all day. I usually rotate between two of them...I charge one while I'm sleeping then grab it in the morning and use it almost the entire day while the other one charges.

I did the xlongs and they work great and last long,then I got a BB from altsmokes with an adapter.Now I have a 5v GLV.Lots of options out there,just depends what type you want.

yeah I ended up with a VV little sister and a VV Tek Mod for back up. I also have a vapor9 808D-1 and a Elegant but found that I liked my passthru so I went variable volt.

I want to thank you all for your advice. Damn, there are so many options, I wish I could just try them all!! Can't afford that, so I'll have to sort out the new info, make a choice, and hope for the best! ....I'll be back!!!

I started with Kr808d. Got a lil Chuck that has an 808 connector and I use the 808 cartos. I also have Ego mega batts 900mah and use the 808 carts on a 501-910(808) adapter. I just ordered a wet box to use with 808 cartos also. I only use 808 cartos and probably have about 200 of them in assorted flavors and blanks that I fill with my own juice. I like 3.7 v vaping, 5 v and higher burns my gums and palate....the vapor is too hot for me.
