Vapor4Life Questions

[gaijinman]

I've been considering switching to Vapor4Life and getting one of their PCC kits after using 510 that I purchased elsewhere for a long time now.

The thing is, I'm not sure what kind of e-cigs Vapor4Life is using or what they are compatible with. Are they 510s? Are they 901s? 808s? What exactly are they? Or just what are they compatible with if anything?

Also, will drip tips work with them, or am I stuck with cartomizers. I've noticed that they don't sell drip tips, so it makes me think I would be stuck with cartomizers, but since I've never used a cartomizer I'm not sure what to expect.

From some Youtube videos I've seen it shows that people use 15 drops to fill a cartomizer. 15 drops is what it takes to fill a regular 510 cartridge for me, so I'm not sure if this would hold as much e-liquid as I'd like to be packing, because in my experience 15 drops get me through an hour or so, but not through a day. With my 510 I consume 5 regular carts in a day, which is why I went to drip tips, but drip tips make me look like a drug addict at work, so I have to sneak my dripping in the bathroom, but dripping works for me, and to have PCC for a battery to get me through the day is absolutely is essential. With catomizers, I imagine I'd go through 5 of them a day if they hold as much eliquid as a regular 510 cart, and this appears to be the case.

Any help or advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

V4L sell KR808D-1 equipment which are not compatible with 510 (unless u use an adapter), but have the same threads as the DSE901 which lack the air holes the KR808D-1 require.

Drip tips will work with the carto's (by simply topping them up), but you would need to purchase them elsewhere.

I go through about 2 carto's a day, but they can be refilled numerous times.
They take about 25-35 drops.

I too was a 510 user, but I have found that I really love the v4L kr808's.

I go through a couple cartomizers a day, and I am sure you will love them WAY more than your 510carts. The flavor and th is much better in my opinion.

I also use drip tips on my cartomizers. Pop the cap off, and I drip into the cartomizer if the flavor diminishes. I love it!!!

So it's the 808. Theyre all 808s, even the shorty (just a short 808 battery I'm guessing)? And their cartomizers fit 808s?

How many times can the cartomizers be refilled?

Problem with a cart on a 510 is that burnt taste. Will cartomizers give a burnt taste?

 

[K24A3]

There are actually two types of 808's.
"808" generally refers to DSE808. V4L use KR808D-1. Different company, different threads.

Carto's can be refilled maybe 5-10 times before they become useless.

There is no burn taste with cartomizers until the juice runs out. once you detect the burn taste, refill them or throw them out,

 

[K24A3]

..and yes, the shorty, normal, XL, Passthrough, and carto's are all KR808D-1 threaded.

Some prefilled cartomizers are only $6.95 for 5. If they can be refilled, then why would I get the blanks which cost more?

I don't. I buy pre-filled and the re-fill with the same or similar flavor. The hardware is all the same between pre-filled and blanks, so might as well get the extra juice.

Keep in mind that there are several kinds of cartos. The old regulars...which are being phased out and I believe are on sale very cheap. The premiums, which also have some flavors at sale price...and finally, coolcarts.

 

[gaijinman]

Hmmm. Sounds like a difficult choice.

You will also see labels like WOW on some cartos. This actaully refers to the juice. The carto is premium but with WOW juice is all.

Might want to read through this discussion about premium versus coolcarts and get some hints.

Alrighty, you guys sold me. I placed an order and am now waiting for it to arrive. It's not here yet.

 

[gaijinman]

I am currently in Japan though, so I'm guessing it's gonna take some time to arrive. It better clear customs or I'm gonna riot.

Except for those of us that get faaaaaar more refills than that.

 

[krazie_Kid]

I get a lot of refills, I have not kept count, but it is over 20 as of right now.

 

[K24A3]

I've refilled some carto's well over 10 times, but most of them become very hard to draw out off, despite trying various ways of cleaning them. I think 5-10 is a safe range to suggest to newbies.

 

[Adrenalynn]

Can I review your raw data for that assumption? Or is that just more PRE?

Review the raw data? I know you think you're being generous, but the foundation of raw data is reciprocity. You haven't given me raw data, you've given me an obligation. The essence of the custom is that I now have to go out and purchase for you some raw data of commensurate value and representing the same perceived level of friendship as that represented by the raw data you've given me.

- Good choice I love this company and am a new Affiliate (I just sell to myself so far, heh!). I refill the carts all the time and top them off so they never burn out. Been doing this for months and boy they are rugged. I have about 70 flavors and hundreds of carts and have thrown 2 away. 2!
- Yank out the wadding in a cart and you can drip onto the atty. Works fine.
- Contact customer service for any reason and they will solve your problem.

Welcome to V4L!

 

[K24A3]

Agreed. V4L is a good choice especially for beginners. Welcome

You're right. I pulled apart a few that became too hard to draw after a few refills and there is a black blob of burned filler causing the blockage. After viewing that, If I sense any tighter draw then before, I toss em'!
