The New(ish) 808 eGo

[Kemosabe]

I just got one a week ago and I am loving it. I consider it a big step up from my KR8 setup. It lasts for days and the low resistance cartos are the bee's pajamas.

Does anyone else have one? Is smoktek the only place that carries the cartos? Thats the only place I could find, which is fine. I did see the 900 mAh model available at madvapes but no cartos and no charger. Does anyone else carry 808 Ego stuff?

I've been using my slim KR8 chargers (gen1 and gen2; 200 and 150mAh respectively) and they both seem to be working fine. The thing is...I don't know how long it takes the battery to charge. I always end up leaving the thing charging overnight, and its done in the AM. I just dont want to overcharge it (especially on the gen1 charger becasue I don't believe there is a charge cut-off when complete.?) Its the 650 mAh model. How long should the 150 or the 200mAh charger take?

Should be 4:20 on the 150ma charger, 3:15 minutes on the 200mah Kemosabe sir, will confirm soon. As for the cartos, smoktek is the only ones I've seen carrying them thus far....

 

[Kemosabe]

you are always a wealth of knowledge, Morandir sir!
looking forward to the test results.

Expect more like 6hrs. w/ the 150ma.

The eGo 420ma should be great w/ an adapter.
You can get a 300ma charger for the Elite 808.

 

[Kemosabe]

gotcha. ive been thinking about getting the ego charger with an adapter. i like the idea of a faster charge, but im more concerned with not ruining my battery.

 

[SirVette]

I agree it's important to do this right.
Since you have "650 mAh" battery, or larger is fine w/ eGo charger, but not smaller than 650 mAh.
I have been using a 510 charger w/ an adapter on KR808 batteries for over a year & the batteries are lasting over a year.
So I would use one of the 2 I mentioned. About 2.25 hrs. w/ eGo charger on 650mAh.

The 3 ml echo-v cartos should work on those. Cropduster has them on sale for 1.99. They are cone shaped so you don't need a cone. V-CARTO - $1.99 : Cropduster901!, Home of the B-52

I just bought some of the 808 900mAh batteries. I've got one 420mAh 808 charger that came with a vGo kit but want an extra...I'm not seeing any individual ones. I'd like to get a 510 eGo charger and use an adapter also.

My issue is that I've seen at least one person post that their adapter didn't work when using a charger - that is, it screwed on the battery and the charger but didn't register that it was charging, even after trying to adjust them. Can you recommend where to get one or is it probably just trial and error?

While I would not expect a problem w/ a simple adapter I got my 901 (same thread as KR808) to 510 adapter here. https://strictlyejuice.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=70&zenid=rmg59s1vipq14tekemh9rl8tf0 (free shipping over $10)
I got a different color adapter than I use on e-cigs for quick ID though it's normally left connected to charger.

Thanks for the link, SirVette.

hello kemosabe! I too have the 808 eGo - but no charger. Which one did you end up getting for it?

 

[Kemosabe]

ive been using my dinky little 150mAh Bloog charger. it works but it takes 7 hours. ugh. i cant find an 808 Ego charger anywhere. so i bought a regular ego charger and an adapter. but it doesnt work. i think i need a vgo charger.

 

[Kemosabe]

heres a KR Ego charger but it doesnt say the mAh output so im not sure if its any better than my KR808D chargers.

KR Ego USB Charger

 

[Kemosabe]

^after looking at the website for a few minutes, i dont think thats the 808 Ego. they use the label "KR" but the threading looks all 510. maybe they are abbreviating Kanger? maybe just their imaging is off? i dont know but i dont trust it.

 

[txtumbleweed]

Here is one but it doesn't list the mah. USB Charger w/ AC Adapter for Kanger V-GO [KVGO-USBCHARGERAC] - $9.95 : Analog Alternative, The Smoking Alternative

That is Kanger's 510 ego threading. Kanger also makes the 808 Vgo and the 808D1

 

[Kemosabe]

thanks. do you know what the standard mah output is on a vgo charger? i saw one that was 150 or 200. same as my KR808 chargers.

 

[txtumbleweed]

I believe the vgo charger is 200 mah. I've got so many chargers I couldn't find the one that came with the Vgo, lol I just use my 150 mah echo charger when I want to charge it.

 

[Kemosabe]

i bought an adapter to use my eGo charger on the 808 Ego but the adapter wont work. bummer. i guess i'll just stick with the 150mAh charger.

 

[astreauxzombie]

Looks like I am going to do the same - I've got a 150mAh charger too from a slim battery. If we got the one made for it, the 200mAh I think, do you think it would make a difference in terms of charging time?
On a sidenote wow this thing lasts days I haven't even had to actually charge it since unpacking it! Then again I'm coming from a slim battery to the 808ego.
