Smoketip?

[Mr_Phil]

Is Smoketip the Kr808d-1?

I've been vaping an RN4081 for ages. Does anyone have experience with the 4081 and 808d models? I'd love to read about someones personal experience.

I tried to find a straight up review of the smoketip and haven't. From random sampling of posts I get the feeling that the customer service is good to go. But, I learned the hard with with njoy that there is far more than just a good website.

Thanks in advance.

BTW a bad 4081 still beats a great Marlboro

I love my SmokeTip ... no qualms! YES it is a KR808D-1 battery. Pleased with everything...batteries, cartomizers, flavors, charge, look, accessories, and most of all the customer service. Only been vaping for a few weeks, but I can't rave enough about it!

Are the Smoketip batteries standard KR808 length or are they the short size?

Kind of new to vaping, they look like 100's...not shorts.

Thanks Lily. I'm kinda new to vaping myself. I was asking because I have 3 sizes of KR808D-1 batteries from V4L: XL- approx. 4" from tip to where the threads begin, Standard- approx. 3", and Short- approx. 2.5". The Smoke Tip site says their batteries are 2.5", but also 250mAh, which is nearly the charge time of the standard 3" KR808 batts. I would love to find a Shortie batt that lasted as long as the standard size.

Here is what SmokeTip had to say. I think I'm going to try a couple of their batteries soon. They're kind of pricey, but the lifetime warranty helps.

Our battery is different form others and is our own - Our specs are correct (250mAh).
Thanks!

If I read the battery specs. correctly your SmokeTip batteries are the same length as Vapor4Life "short" KR808D-1 batteries. However the specs state that yours are rated at 250mAh. V4L shorts are rated 180mAh. My question is: Are both of these SmokeTip battery specifications correct? Do you offer short batteries with a longer charge time?

Thank You!

Although the pricing does look pretty expensive at first, I have to say it really is well worth it! I smoked about 2pks a day of analogs and cut down to about 4-5 a day (working my way to none) thanks to SmokeTip. I notice the battery life to out shine what they say on the site, lasting sometimes days before I think i need to recharge. All in all a great product!

Cool. I ordered the starter kit last night. Hopefully in a few days I can write a decent "first look" review. My issue with the RN4081 was that the atomisers were not consistant. I had one that lasted three months of daily use and another that died within days. Same with the batteries. Hopefully this will do the trick.

smoketip batteries are sweet. They don't have the easy draw of a v4l battery, nor are they as lightweight, and they have a funky plastic coating on the battery, but they have a LIFETIME guarantee! The smoketip carts are ok.. not great, but not bad either. The v4l carts tend to have a longer life for me, but ymmv. The smoketip carts are "hard cap" and don't refill all that great. Some soft tip cartomizers, like vapor4life carts, in the long run are a little bit more affordable.

I have been very happy with smoketip batteries. The carts are another story. I have had 4 that leaked out of the starter kit and the highest lvl of nic is 16mg, which I dont think is enough for me. However I contacted them and they immediatly sent me out a new 6 pack of carts (as in there was the im sorry heres what we will do email and 1 min later there was the shipping conf# email). I can't say enough about their customer service and the life time warrenty is what made me go with them.

I do want to try a manual battery (i think) from V4L and see what the difference is, but I plan on going with the XL for the longer charge time.

I love my smoke tips...it's the only brand I've tried so far and I've had good luck with them. The batteries last me a day to a day and a half.....the cartridges haven't leaked on me at all. The flavors are interesting...all in all a good experience for me. I've been using them since June....over 2 months now.

 

[Mr_Phil]

Just got mine in today. So this is very "first look".

Weight and feel are not much different than RN4081.
Lots easier to draw.
Medium Vapor
Batteries charged per instructions in kit. One battery made it most of the day. On the second one now. I deliberately waited for the battery to go into uberFlashingTip mode instead of switching when vapor fell off.
Not real fond of the flavors. As an amazing coincidence, my Tasty Vapor order came in today as well.

So far I am initially satisfied. I will put it through its paces more tomorrow. I'm a heavy vaper so I imagine that I will get to practice refilling cartos pretty quick.

Day two. The ST batteries seem to be holding up as well as any other battery. So far I don't see any difference. I do like the lifetime warranty. So far the CartO seems to be lasting most, not quite all, of the day. I'm a heavy vaper so i am not displeased.

going from dripping 5v RN4081 to bone stock KR808D-1 in no time flat.

Not bad. If this trend continues i see ST actually haveing earned a loyal customer.

 

[Mr_Phil]

It's been a bit over ten days.

I've had to refill cartos and it's working. I don't know where I will be buying new ones from either. But right now I am a lot happier. The batteries are not any better. Three quarters of a day is the average. But, since they have a lifetime warranty I am not overly uptight. A passthru is a definite must I think.

 

[lilsheba]

Are you refilling the smoke tip cartomizers? Or some different ones?

So far it's the Smoketips. I'm planning on trying other brands as well.

 

[lilsheba]

So you're re filling the smoke tip cartomizers with other brands of juice? I would like to try that myself but want to make sure it works before I spend the money.

So far it's working fine for me.

 

[lilsheba]

Cool then I will start small and try it thanks

 

[lilsheba]

Ok I'm trying a sampler from ProVape.com for now...I have a list of websites from here thanks all For starters I'm trying their Red Bull, Rootbeer Float and Fruit Smoothie....heh can't wait And thanks to the person who posted that video on how to refill cartridges, I'm going to try that method.

Thanks all for the valuable info. I would have kept on vaping the way I am not but this info will definitely inject some more fun into it.
