Using KR808D1 carto on 901

[oplholik]

I bought the wife a KR808D1 and tried one of her pre-filled cartos on my Riva 901, I guess it's ok to use w/o an adaptor. It's better than what I'm doing with my cartos I'm filling. Good TH(for me), I like the flavor and the vapor is better. Think I'll start using some of her cartos till I get a bottom feeder. Any reason I shouldn't? Thanks.

Some e-liquids to me are actually 'improved' a bit through a KR808D-1 cartomizer. I guess the hit just the right temp/have a good draw and all for such juices. I.E. The Dekang all PG stuff...I can barely use/stand on an atty, through a tank, or CE2...but in the little KR cartos...much better

I dunno why...or maybe I'm just crazy....but hey...if it works for you by all means vape on

The KR8 battery has holes in the threads to allow airflow through the carto. But if it works on your Riva you're good to go.

I'm using the cartos from my KR808 on my Riva 901. Most of the cartos fit but I'm getting adapters anyway. Tried the LR atty and cartridge yesterday, not impressed. I'll stick w/ cartos on my Riva.

I've been using LR 901, 2.0 ohm Cartos and overall just not that happy with them. Seem to be inconsistant in flavor, TH. These are blanks that I'm loading. Maybe it's me, or maybe I need to try a different ohm resistance for the 3.7v. Would a 2.5 be better?

2.0 Ohm should be fine on a 3.7V device. 2.5 Ohm is considered standard resistance and probably won't create as much vapor or flavor. I say stick with the 2.0s.

Mecocina, if you used a cart with your LR attie then that's why it wasn't impressive. LR atties are meant to be used with dripping. Carts just can't wick fast enough to keep them wet.

The 901 threads are completely compatible with KR8. The difference is that most KR8's have air holes beneath the threads on the battery connectors to assist airflow.
901's do not have these air holes because the attys have a small hole in the side. This is so the air is drawn right over the attomizer coil versus airflow through the center of the atty. Many people think this is why the 901's have good flavor and vapor production.
The only issues you may have with the KR8 cartos on the 901 batt is a lack of airflow, or hard draw. If this is not a problem, you are good to go!

Yeh, they are working great. Better than anything I've been using so far.

oh doh! Thanks! Going to try again with a regular atty and cart.
