UK KR808D-1 Battery Suppliers??

[Buxton74]

Hello Vapers of the UK!

Can anybody recommend a UK retailer to buy a replacement KR808D-1 battery? I'm currently using V2 cigs but their branded batteries are a little on the dear side, especially when you factor in their one-size-fits-all shippings cost.

I have ordered a Riva 901 battery (and 901 - KR808D-1 thread adapter) from Liberty Flights for use at (and close to) home, but would like a replacement/spare standard sized battery that will fit in my PCC for when i'm out and about (I travel a fair bit with work!).

Any help appreciated.

Cheers. LB

To be honest trying to track down a UK supplier of these batteries is a PITA
other than China/US where they're readily available.

With good reason, they're compatible with very little of the popular, reasonably priced
widgets available in the UK . . . battery run time leaves a lot to be desired as well.

You'd do far better to spend your money on a Ego/510 type kit and have a far better
vaping experience as well.

I've no intention to buy such a device for out-and-about vaping - for better or for worse, ciggalikes for me... hard to be stealthy sucking on Dr Who's sonic screwdriver! I'm not overly fussed on the vaping experience, as long as it satisfies my craving for analogues. I may well be going down that route for vaping indoors though.

Battery life is not great, but, it's a million (ok, slight exaggeration) times better than the Skycigs my mates are on! I get about 4-5 hours from my standard V2 battery - one of my friends gets around 10 mins from each skycig battery that takes him many hours to charge! I'm hoping my Riva 650mAh 901 will sort me out for indoor use, coupled with the 2.0 Ohm Boge cartomisers I already have.

Since posting this i've realised that, as I've already ordered a thread-adapter, that I can simply order a standard 901 battery from Liberty Flights. Job done.

Cool, your choice.

Good luck with your search.

Jacvapour sell KR808D-1 batteries. That's not a recomendation exactly just the only place I know of that stocks them... I have some, they are ok but the auto switch demands a hard and consistent draw.

Buxton, I have some used V4L KR 808 bats, blanks & prefills. PM if you're interested and I'll let you have details.

Thanks for the info and offers folks, but i'm fairly well covered now.

When I put up the orginal post, I had only one 808 battery (the one that died). Luckily I had an Electric Zebra freebie disposable back-up that kept me going until the next morning.

I now have:
My replacement KR808 V2 battery,
A DSE 901 battery,
A DSE 901 USB pass-through,
A 901-808 thread adapter,
And (best of all) a Riva 901 650mAh battery (which, IMO, should be called a Riva 808 as it has the air-holes and didn't need an adapter),
Plus loads of V2 Kanger 808 cartos, some LR Boge 808 cartos, loads of juice and, err, some 510 (got a 901-510 thread-adapter too) CE2 Clearomizers which, after trying the third one in the pack, am about to throw in the bin. It's shocking how something so not fit for purpose can be sold as they are!

Can anyone recommend any clearomizers that actually work? Or a Vision Ego style carto for a Riva 901? Can't seem to find one, posted the request elsewhere but so far has come up blank!

Afraid there isn't that much made these days with a 901 thread The only thing I can suggest is if you want to use Vision ego's is to get a 510 to ego adapter & use that with your 901 to 510 adapter.

 

[Buxton74]

I have a 510 adapter for it, but seems a bit long... I doubt if it would fit on the larger thread

Anyone ever tried it?

Failing that, i'll probably get some of these...

Echomiser - Empty (901) £2.79 - Vaping Spares - Cartomisers Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid

They're not clear unfortunately, but I could probably go the whole day without worrying about frying them!

Liberty Flights stock a 901/808 to eGo adapter Buxton, they've only 13 left in stock
currently . . . .

E-Cig Multi Adapters

As Chrissie says, so little is 901 threaded these days adapters are about the only
option available.

A Liberty Flights order was dispatched to me this morning too... oh well, maybe next order.

The Riva already has the Ego style big outer thread thing on it. Would I still need the Ego adapter? The more I read about the Vision Clearos the more i'm going off them anyway... thinking a tank/carto combo might be the way to go. Any advice regarding this?

 

[Chrissie]

The Riva you bought has a 901 thread, the vision egos an ego 510 thread, so yes you will need an adapter. Out of interest what made you go for the 901 Riva rather than a 510?

I've used a a DCT tank (tank with Dual coil cartomiser) & found it kept the carto too cool so got very little throat hit. But that could just be me

 

[Buxton74]

I went for the 901 cos it had a kr808 thread essentially. I got into vaping with a V2 mini and really like their Kanger cartos which I have lots of. Quite cheap when 40+ are bought at once. Love their Red flavour too. So, when I bought the Riva I got a battery only as I had the cartos and charger already. I got a friend onto Rivas too but recommended he got the 510 version cos he got started with sky cig, which are 510, so he could use his existing cartos. He loves it by the way.

I am aware that the Ego is 510 fitting, and that I would need an adapter, but was wondering if the 510 adapter I already have would do the job with a tank.

Yes it will Buxton if it's a 901 to 501, although if you wanted to use a plinth/thread cover on the
outer set of the Ego threads, to tidy up the appearance . . . it'll look a little odd as your tank will
sit that bit higher using an adapter.

Sorry if this is a bit late but there is JacVapour, he's based in Scotland

Vision Stardust also come in 808 threads and it is actually made for the Riva. It is exactly the same as the 510 one, just the inner threads are for the 808.
