There doesn't seem to be a lot of love for the 808

started on gas station cig alikes with random threads. 3 dif brands with 3 dif threads lol so idk what they were, waiting for the mailman today cause my tritons coming in. 808 thread, and i think its because not alot of people use it-the items you get for 808 are "perfected" and as easy as plug-n-play. but dont quote me on that, i bet there are some bunk 808 items.

Is there a good PCC for 808's that charges 2 batteries at the same time and holds a tank and small bottle of juice ?
I love my volt for going out, which would be easier with a PCC ... and I use my 808 echo 1100 automatic at home.

This is the only PCC I know of, of any thread size, that will charge 2 batteries at once.

I love the 808 cig-a-like format and am a dedicated Volt user. I won't ever go with a Blader Runner, jet engine looking mod type set-up. I just think it looks a bit silly and furthers the "that must be bad for you" argument. Although, the cig-a-like doesn't do us any favors in that regard either.

That said, I keep hoping that they come out with a 65mm battery that had way better battery life. I keep hearing that it's not gonna happen. At any rate, I get great vapor and satisfaction from the little guys and keep 3 or 4 around to get me through a night. No probs.

Yippee! Since I finally found a juice I really like (MBV Vanilla Custard), I've gotten a few clearos for my V2, G6, and Volts, and may not go back to cartos ��

glad to hear you found a flavor. im still not there yet, and i think i wont ever find a good flavor. i ben using just VG diluted with gin. i rather like having no flavor, then some nasty flavor.

i hear the halo mini tanks are good, i didnt order any yet since im still using the tank that came with my purchase

I'm a Volt-a-holic (Smokeless Image 808's). I use the 78mm sealed-auto batts, Volt XL steel cartos, push-on tip, and "Mom and Pop's" juice. My 78's last all the work day and then some (each!) recharge overnight and go again. Awesome quality! Been using the same 3 batts for near 2 years and only one failure. The cartos and batts have the right blend of air vs. vapor for me, as I find all the others to be too "airy" (Boge too!).

I've been trying to remember the different clearos with the 808 thread. Thanks! I went and bought an iGo (N300 iGo Manual 1100 mAh Crystal Clear Kit) because it was cheaper than the eGo. Seems I've found out why! But I'm not trading it in just yet. Just need some more clearomizers for it so I can hot swap juice flavors/strengths through out the day.

I didn't even realize it but aside from one cigarette (dead battery and no $ for a ten dollar disposable right then) I've been tobacco free for over a year! Dont miss it at all.

May I recommend :

Madvapes - Electronic Cigarettes, E Cigarettes, E-Cigs

FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics

The two places I spent incredible amounts of money at.

I got one today. I love the eSmart.

E-smart clearos and batteries are now my main system. My G6 did a great job for me but this is a definite step up in performance without being much larger in size - and it's backwards-compatible with the 808 stuff I already had, except for chargers.

I've recently moved up to some variable voltage digital eGo's and tanks and carto tank systems and am close to buying a lower level mech mod, but I still love my Elite 808 and in fact just ordered a new kit last night. Great compromise for an 808, 380mAh and not very long, great vapor production and throat hit, battery lasts pretty damn long, good looking and reasonably priced for the kit. I will say Cigeasy is stife on the overall value on their site though. The 2ml whistle tip cartos are nice, but they're out of their minds with their prices for those on their own, I had very bad experiences with their old Clear and Easy tanks, single batteries are pricey, no free shipping and no discount codes. But, they do make a very good product and their customer service is very good.

That would be the kit I'd probably recommend to anyone trying to get into vaping and kick smoking as a starter that will also provide tremendous long term value. I really like my VV eGo and my Kanger Protanks, my other carto-tanks and the such and am looking forward to grabbing something like a K100 and mainly dripping with it with something like the Smartvapes long barrel dripper, but I still love the convenience and functionality of my Elite with some Volt carto's.

Also, while we're talking about it, and I know there are other threads, but what would be the #1 clearo or tank for the 808 you'd recommend me right now? In the past I had a really bad experience with them, but I'd like to try again. Do they still leak? That is a deal breaker for me.

I mentioned this earlier but the E-smart clearo is tops with me. LitecigUSA, Vapor Kings, et. al. sell the 808-threaded version.
