Suggest Ecig with Cartomizer

[paulc35]

Ok Gang I'm using my first njoy Npro and its quiet good. Like taste, battery life and cartridge life. Little expensive.

Since there is way to much info on the net I'm trusting you.

I want suggestions for an Ecig Auto,or Manual that is just the two piece design. (Cartomizer) I want to buy cartridges and use them and throw them away. No juice suggestions. Good cartridge life, and battery life.

Thank you
Paul C

Hi, and welcome to ECF! I would suggest the Vapor 4 Life(V4L) XL manual. These are KR808d-1 batteries.

I have not been vaping very long (just since July 6th), but I have tried the shorty auto, regular manual and XL manual. My son also started out with the shorty auto, and now wants to switch to the XL manual. We both feel that the manual gives us more control over the draw, and the XL battery lasts most of the day, if not all day, unless you chain vape, as I do.

I have not purchased batteries from any vendors other than V4L, so I don't know if anyone else carries the XLs. I picked V4L because they have a great (45 day) warranty, fast shipping, and great customer service, and I have been very happy with them. There are many great vendors represented on ECF, though.

Oh, one more note: The main reason I first decided to go with manuals is that they have a sealed battery, so juice can not get into the battery and short it out. Many folks use autos, and refill with juice, and never have a problem, but I knew I wanted to refill (to save money), and I didn't want to worry about getting juice in the battery. It was only later, comparing notes with my son, that I realized I liked the manual more for its vaping performance.

NewLou, what is the mAh rating on the V4L XL batteries? I have an XL KR8 manual rated at 350 mAh, and it lasts maybe 4-6 hours max.

 

[NewLou]

It is 380 mAh

 

[Kobudo]

I can't ever see one of those lasting all day. I recently built a box mod with a KR8 adapter that takes a 3000 mAh 18650 battery, and it lasts me two days, maybe a little bit into day 3.

For the OP, looking at your wishes, I would recommend a few standard 280 mAh KR808-D1 batteries like V4L sells (I bought mine at Puresmoker.com), along with a pcc (charging case) if you're going to be out and about and away from a place to charge the batteries for any length of time. Check out both websites, I think my next carto order will be premium carts from V4L myself, but Puresmoker is a great company to do business with too, and their carts (which they call Atomz) are pretty cheap.

As far as cartos, you can get them pre-filled, but I've never had a pre-filled carto last more than an hour or two. I know this isn't what you want to hear, but it is seriously better to just take 5 minutes a day and fill them yourself using the CCFM method. You'll save a bunch of money, and the ones I fill myself last me closer to three to four hours. I just stick four in my pocket with one on the PV, and I'm good to go all day. I also get to use extra-tasty liquids from tastyvapor.us this way, which I love.

Welcme to ecf paul!

Cartomizers are available for the 510 batteries now so you have a huge selection of devices to choose from. You can also get adapters for 510 to kr808s that work well.

The eGo is really nice if you aren't interested in mods. I normally get 8-10 hours on a single charge.

You more than likely won't find better battery life than the eGo unless you are interested in picking up a mod. My silver bullet get about 2 solid days of heavy vaping on a single charge at 3.7v .

Oh, I would say manual batteries are the way to go.

I think this really depends on what style of e-cig you want. Riva/Ego is my personal favorite, amazing battery life (my riva has a 750mah battery and lasts me pretty much all day) but it's pretty big. If you want something smaller, I believe they have 510 mega batteries (may be the same thing you're looking at).

On any of the ones you look at, make sure you choose something that has a standard atomizer type (510, 901, etc...). With those, you can use any cartomizer made for that type. If you get something that is proprietary to the vendor, you'll be stuck buying cartos from them.

cartomizers will work good with a passthrough?

Anything an atomizer will work with, a cartomizer should. All the cartos are is a cartridge and atomizer in one piece instead of 2. Makes it more difficult to refill, but the basic principle is the same. Since cartomizers are much cheaper than atomizers, you can buy a 5 pack of them for about 8 bucks to try one with your particular passthrough and only be out a couple of bucks if it isn't to your liking.

Why not look at Vapor for Life as suggested, or LiteCig, they are recommended vendors here, have GOOD products, and do NOT charge twice as much for the same thing.

The company you listed charges TWICE as much for the same product.

There are only a FEW actual manufacturers of e-cig products and juice, ALL the others are rebrands of the SAME stuff.

Since EVERY items from EVERY store is the same Chinese junk, with different labels, the whole "more expensive is better idea is a HUGE FAIL on this forum

Well I wouldn't have any problem with vapor 4 life as others have suggested except when I look at the cartomizers there really is no description of what the flavor is and then when I see what I believe is just a regular tobacco Vapor King Cowboy cartomizers they're basically sold out unless I want a 4 mg cartridge. The WOW boy gives me no description so I have a problem with that. Just to remind I want disposable cartridges (at least at this point) I'm new and I don't want to mess with filling cartomizers.

The WOW boy gives me no description so I have a problem with that.

Vapor4Life presents what we believe is the end of your journeyfor the ULTIMATE Cartomizer. .These have WOW Vapor, and WOW Flavor. .Wowboy is a tobacco blend, with a soft chocolate flavor,combined with just a hint, of mint. .It is our new favorite, at V4L.



I haven't tried this flavor yet, so I can't comment on it personally. I do see that it receives favorable reviews from others that have tried it. Check out the Vapor4Life sub-forum in the suppliers forum.

Got any batteries that last about 8hrs

Battery use is going to depend on the amount of time, how often, and how many hits you take each time you vape.

Most of the XL batteries that V4L has have lasted me 4-6 hours with heavy use.

 

[Kobudo]

The battery in the pcc case will last longer than 8 hours, just keep a spare battery on charge in it and swap them out when they fully charge.

 

[paulc35]

Ok I've decided on the Joye Ego and am going to buy from ecigexpress.com unless someone has a reason as to why I shouldn't buy from them. They are close to where I live. They have the PG/mix juice tobacco flavor in 30ml bottles that I think I will like. Prices seem fair.

Thanks

[Burnya1]

I want to try the cartos too....we'll see!

 

[markfm]

I like the Wowboy, it's pretty mellow. If you want something with a bit more of a tobacco "kick" on the inhale, try Dunhall or Kamel. Just got an ounce of V4L Kamel in, and really like it.

NHaler's another good firm to look at if you go the KR808D-1 2-piece route -- I've had good luck with my kit (as has a friend with the V4L VaporKing KR808D-1).

V4L tosses in a freebie carto or 2 -- you might be surprised at how good coconut tastes to vape

 

[brian1g]

Cartos are great!

I would get the blanks and fill your own though.
