Seeking 510 manual batteries and/or kits

[Warren D. Lockaby]

Hi folks, I have some friends who are in need of (roughly) analog-sized batteries or good starter kits. I'm trying to steer them toward the 510 format because I expect they'll be looking to upgrade in the near future, and I've sold them on manual batteries. Any suggestions? I can mix their e-liquids & have shown them how to fill cartos, so we have a lot to play with here except cash. Thanks!

Short on cash? Get a 650 passthrugh from vaporgod.

eGo 510 650mAh USB Passthrough Battery

It's a 510 battery, with the capacity of about 4 of the cig style... with a built in charger. I plug mine into my computer. You can charge and vape at the same time if you have to.

You can get some good analog sized deals from smokelessimage, with their Volt. You can also go to Vapor 4 Life for similar KR808 kits. No need to upgrade right away, and you can always use a passthrough or charge one battery while you use another one. Good Luck!

A 510 is weaker than a KR808D-1 but if they really want something that looks more like a cig, a white manual 510 used with the tan or white Boge 3 ohm blank cartomizers from NiteLiteVapor.us will give that look.

I recommend Joye/Joyetech brand (and if you don't get joye then definitely do not get FS510 - reverse electrical polarity)

Cignot.com lists the LED and battery color but may add their logo to them. LiteCigUSA.net has them.

Get a 510 drip tip (the plain clear color ones at LiteCigUSA.net do fit Boges and the atomizer but I found most some others there too tight. Use drip tip on atomizer to test juices, and on carto as an easy to remove mouthpiece if you want (make it easier to check stuffing and add liquid).

Get Eliquid (I do not recommend high VG with Boges. I use high PG juices like 80PG/20VG and the clearest juices will let the cartomizer ladt longer. Keep cartos DAMP to avoid singeing. I can get 10 days use out of a Boge)

And as I said, NiteLiteVapor.us is the only place I have seen the standard resistance (around 3 ohms) Boge cartomizers in white and tan. Everywhere else just has black or steel. And slim 510 should only use cartos 2.5 to 3 ohms. Anything lower is not for slim batteries and can damage them.

I found as soon as I started vaping that I did not want it to look like a cigarette. People don't like smokers - why look like a smoker. I prefer the black 510 manual w/ blue/purple LED and black Boge cartos.

Thanks to all for your suggestions... I'm pretty new at this myself so I'm dealing with a case of the blind leading the deaf & dumb, sort of. @dormouse, I didn't realize the 510 is weaker than the KR808, but that being the case the 808 might be a better option for them. I was looking at a 510 mega kit on Madvapes that looks pretty interesting made by Beauer or somebody (faulty memory, sorry) that looks pretty interesting, but now I wonder if maybe the 808 wouldn't be a better choice for them. I chose the 510 format for myself because of the upgrade options, without really looking into anything else. Any additional feedback would be very welcome... I'm really shooting in the dark here. Thanks to you all!
