[FONT="]Vapor 4 Life Review[/FONT][/B][/CENTER][/CENTER]
[FONT="] This review will focus on quality of products, price, and ease of use. The rating system used will be * to *****. [/FONT]
[FONT="]The first thing I would like to focus on is batteries. I will be focus on the same sized battery in both a manual and auto model.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Batteries:[/FONT][/B][/CENTER][/CENTER]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Shorty Manual:[/FONT]
[FONT="]My first impressions were that this little battery can pack a punch. And once the cartomizer is connected, it is roughly the size of a cigarette. The control switch works well, and there is only a small delay between hitting the button and the cartomizer revving up. I hold it down for about 3 to 4 sec, take a hit like I would off a cigarette, and I get great flavor and vapor production. When compared to the other two Krd808-1 models I have used, that were not Vapor Kings, nothing comes close. It has a lengthy cut-off timer, about 10-13 sec. Plenty of time to get that perfect drag in. Its light, and very durable. I've dropped it once or twice on the concrete and cringed, only to pick it up with no visible markings on it, and it still hits like a champ. The only thing negative I would say there is to the shorty manual, is that the battery life is of course shorter than that of a regular sized Vapor King battery. Now that being said, it still has better battery life then the other two brands of Krd808-1 that I have tried, and they were the standard size.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Quality -***** I have had absolutely no problems with quality on this battery.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Price-**** At 16.45 it is not an expensive battery in the slightest. I could get a generic brand slightly cheaper, but the savings would not be worth the loss in quality. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Ease of use-**** I love this shorty. The only time I don't find it easy to use, is when I am trying to do something with both hands, and can't push the button. This is true of all manuals, but it is true nonetheless.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Overall-4.3*s I love this battery. The only short comings I have with this particular model is the battery life, and sometimes it can be a hassle to press the button, but the short comings are so small it doesn't affect my daily use with it. And I love the ability to have the cartomizer ready to hit before it even touches my lips. [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Shorty Auto:[/FONT]
[FONT="]My first impressions of the shorty auto battery were pretty close to the manual. Once you get a good primer puff in there, you get a great hit. I love this battery for convenience sake. I can leave it in my mouth while doing dishes, and still vape rather happily. Honestly the only difference between this and the manual is that on the auto, you have to take a longer hit in order for the cartomizer to produce enough vapor for a good hit. The difference in hit time for me is about 3 to 4 sec, but your individual vaping styles may make this time vary.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Quality-***** Once again a great quality battery.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Price-**** Same as the manual[/FONT]
[FONT="]Ease of use-***** Great hands free vaping.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Overall-4.6*s Great battery. I like the manual slightly more for my vaping style, but when doing an activity that requires both hands, this is a great battery to have.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Final thoughts on the batteries:[/FONT]
[FONT="]These are both great batteries. Depending on your individual style of vaping, either one will work out great. I like having both, the manual for the majority of the time, and the auto for when hands are needed. The only difference between these batteries and the regular or XL batteries is of course battery life and weight. The weight doesn't play a big role for me now, but when I began vaping, it was nice to have something light and small. I think the shorties are a great place to begin, and once you find yourself vaping faster than your batteries are charging, you might want to think about picking yourself up a regular sized battery, or even an XL. I can't tell you how nice these batteries are compared to my old Krd808-1 sets. The color options are a great bonus as well.[/FONT]

[FONT="]Cartomizers:[/FONT][/B][/CENTER][/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER][B][FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]In this section I will review the two different styles of cartomizers available from V4L. They come in WOW and Cool cart. I will rate them based on throat hit, vapor, and flavor, on a scale of * to **** [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]WOW Cartomizers:[/FONT]
[FONT="]The WOW cartomizer were my first cartomizers from V4L. My initial thoughts are that they produce a surprising amount of vapor, and the warmth of the vapor is desirable to me. I don't know if they are truly low resistance, but they vape very similar to one. Refilling is easy on both the WOW cartomizers and the Coolcarts, just pop the top off and fill. The WOW cartomizers fit around 20 to 25 drops of juice, pretty close to 1ml. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Throat hit-*** 1/2 It can depend. On some flavors I will get a great hit from the WOW cartomizers, on others it is subpar. Overall it's not overwhelming, and about my level. I don't like too much throat hit, so these are perfect for me, not too strong, but still there.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Vapor-**** Overall the vapor is amazing. I get quite a bit from almost any juice, with the exception of some pure or super high PG liquids. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Flavor-*** Great flavor from most liquids. On a few it can be a little diminished, but overall I like it. If you smoke a lot of high VG liquids, you may not get the flavor you're looking for. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Overall-3.5 *s I love these cartomizers. They hold a decent amount and are perfect for my needs. The only downside is that I feel that their ability is a bit lacking in the 90% range of PG and VG. I think they truly shine with about 80% and 70% is perfect for me. By far one of my favorite cartomizers on the market today. They can get pretty warm, so I recommend the drip tip from V4L to compliment this great cartomizer. [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Coolcart Cartomizers[/FONT][FONT="]:[/FONT]
[FONT="]The coolcarts are a great cartomizer. They hold slightly more than the WOW cartomizers, about 25 to 30 drops. They also stay a little more cool, though a drip tip is still a great way to get more air flow out of a cartomizer if you feel that the draw is too tight, which in my experience can happen with thicker juices. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Throat hit- **** I feel I get more throat hit from the coolcarts. It's not super overwhelming, but definitely noticeable. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Vapor-*** I get more vapor from a WOW cart, but it still isn't bad at all. They vapor also doesn't get quite as hot, which can either be a positive or a negative depending on your preference. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Flavor-**** I feel I get slightly more flavor from a Coolcart than a WOW one, and I believe it's because the WOW produces such warm vapor that some flavors can be slightly diminished. This doesn't happen as often with the Coolcarts. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Overall-3.6*s A great cartomizer. Great throat hit and flavor defiantly are its biggest appeals, not to mention that extra room, due to it being slightly longer.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Final thoughts on Cartomizers:[/FONT]
[FONT="]My preference goes to the WOW cart, because it fulfills my needs. Some may find the Coolcart works better for them, but either way, they are still great cartomizers. They are built well, and yield excellent results, and sure to satisfy your vaping needs the majority of the time. Very few cartomizers on the market today can contend with it, and they are reasonably priced at 8.95 for empty, and 10.50 on average for prefilled. They also work well after being refilled a couple times, so don't be afraid to clean it out and use it again. [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Juices:[/FONT][/B][/CENTER][/CENTER]
[FONT="]I've had quite a few juices from V4L, and I could probably do the entire review based on just them. Instead of that I will give you a brief summery about what they have to offer. They have three basic selections. 100% VG WOW, Premium, and WOW. They keep the percentages a trade secret, but the Premium has slightly more PG in it then the WOW does from what I can tell. They have a great selection from both, and they come in 0MG, 4MG, 8MG, 11MG, 18MG, 24MG, and 36MG nicotine levels. [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT][/B][/CENTER][/CENTER]
[CENTER][CENTER][B][FONT="]Customer Service:[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT][/B][/CENTER][/CENTER]
[FONT="] Excellent customer service. You can call or fill out a support ticket, and get a speedy and helpful response. They also usually give you a small gift with your order, which is always a welcome surprise. I have no complaints, and based on how well they treat their customers, I would 100% of the time recommend them over another supplier of the same product. Just how customer service should be. [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[CENTER][CENTER][B][FONT="]Selection:[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT][/B][/CENTER][/CENTER]
[FONT="] One of the best parts of shopping with Vapor 4 Life was their selections. They have many colors of cartomizers and batteries to choose from, and a staggering choice of juices. The only negative thing I can say about it is that you may be stuck on their website for a while, trying to make a decision, because there is just so many good choices out there. The best selection I have seen from a supplier, and your sure to find something you like. If you enjoy the Krd808-1, then V4L is your supplier.[/FONT]

[CENTER][CENTER][B][FONT="]Final thoughts:[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT][/B][/CENTER][/CENTER]
[FONT="]I love V4L. Once I found their website I haven't felt the need to shop somewhere else. From their amazing juices, to their great quality of products, nothing compares with the experience I have had with V4L. If you haven't tried their juices, I would urge you to give them a shot. Best tasting vape I've had. They get five starts overall, as no company does more to please their customers, and their products are top notch. No company has done more to make my vaping experience pleasurable, and they can do the same for you. You can use the promo code smilin for 10% off also, which makes the prices even better :) [/FONT]
