US supplier for V-Go (KR808D-1; 3.7V-4.2V)

[Vini]

.

Anyone knows US supplier for V-Go (KR808D-1; 3.7V-4.2V)?

That's exactly what I'm researching (not 510 type).

One of the reasons why 808 people can't take an adapter and go to 510/Ego type is voltage (510ish believed to have about 3.3V).

That large blue led looks kinda silly - Elegant/Defender don't have it.
Heard from people that this device goes ahead of Elegant/Defender in voltage and voltage stability (same from start till battery dies).

By the way, MiT Technology rings any bells?

EDIT: just checked ?manufacturer's? Price List/as of 06-09-2010/: minimum order 10pcs, price is $24.88 per/each.

Thanks sparky79, just checked their website and [as you said] it's not listed.
However, I checked their prices and, even if they would have 808 V-Go [probably they will call it Royal Flash], price would be absolutely insane [judging what they charging for other things].

Most likely I would be able to get 2-3 sets from China for same price.

But I have found with US Made products they cost more and 90% of the time they last longer and are more durable. My Chinese made batteries and such are worth what I paid for them. Its the headache and hassle thats associated with them that makes them not worth it.

The only US made [e-cig related] products are few mods.
Well, mods have their own issues /size, arrestable look etc/.

There are NO American made batteries, atomizers or cartomizers. They are ALL made in China.

Correct me if I am wrong and there is some new company that I am unaware of.

To the original poster, you are best off buying from
E-liquid Web Shop CN
Maybe get in on a group buy that is doing CE2 cartomizers so you can split up the price, ans save some on the shipping. This is the manufacturers website, and the only place to get them that I know of.

I got a shipment of CE2 cartomizers from them, they take a WHILE to ship, but the quality and prices are good.

 

[dynasty]

why don't you just order it from there?

I think the Defender from Vapornine and Elegant from Cigeasy are the same as the Vgo. They are threaded for KR808 cartos (which I've been using on my Elegant for a few weeks not. No problems at all so far.) Long battery life, great vape and superfast charging.

For $79.50 from China - makes no sense, imo.

There is one for $41 (few days ago was $36), but still overseas.

I've had negative experience with Chinese suppliers and trying to avoid them.

As far as I know, Elegant/Defender are Ego with 808D-1 connection, so it's hard to expect 3.7V+ performance.
Looks like there are more people using 808 XL than Elegants/Defenders.

The 79.50 price is for 3 of them. That is why I said to get in on a co-op buy.

Ecigfair is the same company, it is there retail site as opposed to the wholesale site I linked.

Ok. I thought the Vgo was the same as the Ego. Don't they usually advertise them to be 3.7V+ but in actuality under load they're closer to 3.2? I had seen numbers around 4 V in this thread for the Elegant and those numbers disputed due to testing not being done under load.

I haven't done any tests myself, so I can't definitively say. Just trying to understand all the info.

Knowing what I do so far I would be inclined to believe the Vgo is not a full 3.7V device under load and just opt to go with a US sols Elegant or Defender (Which I have done - Elegant). If there is some definitive info that the Vgo is available with KR8 threading and higher voltage that would definitely be cool. I'll be watching!

Here's a more relevant post regarding what the batteries are advertised as.

the eGo and all the others like it are also advertised as 3.7V too... the key is whether they're tested under load...
the test on the elegant wasn't....
any of them will test at 3.7V-4.2V.....until you put them under load.. that's when they show...

I really would bet that all of them ego/tornado/riva/hello/ t-rex and elegant and v-go all end up testing in that 3.1V ish range when properly tested under load...

I'm basically agreeing with Drozd here. I don't have any hard data myself so I'm open to new info.
