I realize that the Vapor King and the Nebula are basically the same e-cig, but is there something that makes one better than the other? I already have 901's and 510's, but I'm thinking about getting one of these for work so I won't have to top off all the time. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

not basically... are , both KR808D-1. They might use different juice in their cartomizers, but i don't know for sure. After you have some KR batteries you can buy cartomizers from anyone you want. Drew at Nhaler has some tasty flavors. as does cigeasy.com

Hi all,

First post, first day with an e-cig, first ligament chance I feel I've ever had to stop smoking...

Props to Grimm Green, it was his review of the Nebula that hit all the right notes for me to get into the juice game...

My Nebula from Ben at vapornine arrived this morning...

I can confirm that the KR808D-1 delivers an impressive throat hit.

I'm a bit dizzy, but smiling and as of yet have nothing else to add, other than Ben returned my e-mail and the shipping was super fast.

I'm pretty happy
Best Regards

I've got both - they're the same model. Drew at Nhaler.com has some great deals on starter kits - much less than the Nebula and a bigger selection. His spare batteries and cartomizers are much less also.

Coupon code saveinnj gives you another 10% off.

For me, the kr808 gives about the same vapor as my 901, better throat hit, and MUCH better flavor.

You do still need to top these off occasionally to extend their life, but adding a few drops in the battery end is MUCH easier than fooling around with a 3 piece.

If you wanna skip dripping altogether at work, you can just bring a couple fresh carts, a spare battery, and you're good for the day:)
 
I have the Vapor King. In it's onset, yes, it was pretty much the KR808. However since then, improvements have been made to the vapor king in pretty much all categories, vapor, throat hit, flavor etc. As it stands today, the vapor king and KR808 models do have compatible parts (use the carts with battery and vice -versa) however, they are really not the same anymore. In my previous KR808 models, I've noticed that the carts burn very fast. When you take them apart, there is nothing but burnt filler inside. With the vapor king carts, you can now go up to 2-3 refillls before they start to burn off and need to be disposed of. The batteries also have 4 holes as opposed to 2.

I have had many different models and juices since I started vaping back in October. My Vapor King is my primary e-cig. All my others are just sitting in boxes as back-ups.
 
I can only speak for one kr808 model which I used to own until I got so fed up with it and it's customer service that I took it to the gun range and shot 50 rounds of 9mm ammo through it (Epuffer's Eaze Magnum). That unit had 2 holes and the carts tasted like burnt paper fresh from the factory. The other model known as the dpv9 had 4 holes, however I have had head to head comparisons with the dpv9 and the vaporking and the vapor king beats it with regards to battery life (ALL my dpv9 batteries died after 2 months of heavy use while my original vaporking batteries are now about 4 months old and still going strong) and flavor (Menthol).

Vapor King's reseller - Steve - has made customer service and quality control his top priority. I have not heard of any resellers going personally to China to inspect how their products are being manufactured and/or making sure that the resellers personal specs on the product are being adhered to. He states that he has and still does from time to time. As far as I'm concerned, he has not given me any reason not to believe him because the vapor king pretty much speaks for itself:thumbs:

I am very happy with the VK and it's customer service and so are many other customers.

I was in the same boat.....I had a 901 and I wanted a PV that was going to be fast and easy to use at work and just get me by between the work hours, without having to drip the 901. I got the KR808 and loved it. It does have a diff hit and taste then my 901, but I loved the long life and how accessible it is. I just got a 510 and I am very happy with it and took it to work and left the KR808 at home. I have to say there I was dripping carts and atty's and I missed picking up the KR and going to town on it. Tomorrow I will bring the KR808 to work and the 510 for the ride home.
Oh and I have to say the KR808 is a nice looking PV mine is metallic red with black carts and it just looks nice for out and about without having to pack some juice around. Its my club buddy too.

Just some info, the 808 that I recently bought from Eastmall has two holes in the batteries. I've refilled one cart about 5 times now, it's the same one because I cleaned it and marked it so I could have different flavoured refilled carts on tap. Anyway, I pretty much vape the carts dry till I notice there's pretty much no flavour left and I've not seen burnt filler yet.
