As someone who got exposed to e-cigs through v2. They are over priced and low quality. They also have issues with processing orders that aren't in stock, etc. I was vaping on a v2 (KR808D-1) battery for a long time and was using Kranger horizontal cartomizers on them. That seemed to help with price as I could get my cartomizers from china for about $5.20 a box. Shipping wasn't that bad. I also saved a lot of money DIYing my e-juice instead of buying their pre-made. They're pre-filled cartos are a joke and have serious quality issues. I don't think I've ever gotten one without at least one dud. (yes i've tried adjusting the post :D).

All in all, v2 and other companies like it tend to over charge you for a product that is actually pretty standard and try to lock you into their products. They want you to think that v2 batteries will only work with v2 products because that's how they make their money. Not from the kit, but from the endless filled cartos, premade juices, blanks, etc. As of right now I'm still on KR808D-1 (Just ordered my ego kit with dual coil tanks) but using a bloog. Their battery was much cheaper and so far, I've been quite the happy camper.

I highly recommend moving from v2s. It doesn't mean you have to go to a 510/ego, etc. If you like the style and feel, are comfortable, and don't mind the battery life with the KR808s. Stick with them.

Yep, Isaac is cool, good attys too. I just looked at madvapes, they have the ego dual coil tank kit for $60, two tanks, batterys, etc. even has a little juice with it


That's exactly what I ordered the other day I vape a lot and hate refilling as frequently as I do. Hence my choice, but if you just want to buy 510 cartos and fill them like you would with a KR808D cart, you can as well. That's the beautiful thing about vaping, you have a lot of choice.

HAHA! It took over a month to get my order from them! That's why I won't use them again.

I hate the battery life. The pre-filled carts are crap. They tasted bad. I DID buy their menthol juice and once I filled a blank cart is was soooo good in comparison to their pre-filled ones.
I really want to try other menthol juice from better companies.

I'm not entirely stuck on the size but that Buzz is way too big. I just want a really good quality device that has decent battery life and possibly more capacity.

no, that has tanks too. think those are 1.1-1.5 ml tanks. the madvapes has 2 dual-coil 3.5ml tanks with it

Oh I know. I was just trying to point out to him that he can buy standalone 510 cartos if he wasn't comfortable or didn't want to use tanks. That's all :D

Then I would recommend going with an ego, unless you are stuck on the cigarette looking batteries. If you are, battery life is going to be minimal. An ego kit with tanks (not the ego-T ;)) is a good option if you want to be able to fill less frequently and vape for longer. The mad vapes kit is 900mah (think about 4-6 hours depending on how you vape). Not sure about the isaac.

I think I paid around $150 for my v2 kit (got the ultimate... so stupid) with shipping. You can get an ego kit from $40-$80 depending on where and what comes with. Much better value if you ask me.

This is the kit I ordered. You can decide for yourself, but just what I decided on for myself.

Ego Dual Coil Cartomizer Tank Kit

OK. That's what I am ordering. Any advice on a really good menthol juice?
