Why the KR808D-1 instead of other models...

[PhoenixRising]

Thought I would start us off with something I posted in the Vapor4Life Subforum - reasons why a newbie to vaping should chose the two piece cartomizer model verses other popular devices. My experience:

1. Verses 510s = equal throat hit, equal warmth, bigger battery, more consistent vapor for longer

2. Verses 801 = warmer throat hit, battery lasts as long, cartomizers seem to hold as much juice w/o leaking all over the danged place

3. Verses 901 = equal flavor, samed size battery but it seems to last longer for some reason (I believe it is Steve's magic potion or something), and cartomizers last way longer than the carts

4. Lady pipe = same exact response as the 801, except the battery lasts longer (which makes sense since the attys and carts are pretty much the same as the 801)

ya beat me by a few minutes, LOL!

My congratulations to you, oh wise being of great alacrity. Let history record that PhoenixRising broke ground on this fertile acre, and may all that grows from it be as good as she.

 

[PhoenixRising]

At your service Az!!!! A gal has to get her vape on!

I always read Phoenix's posts, very informative. Also Jen who is also a 'go to' person. They both helped me in my decision to go with the VK.

Let's not forget the other reason we choose the 2pc over the 3pc is the ease of use, we don't have to "mod" our unit to make it work right, it's tasty right out of the gate. I hated jacking around every time I wanted to vape, it's tiresome after the novelty wears off.

 

[PhoenixRising]

A very good point Snarky. Screw on the cartomizer, inhale. Done. No dripping, no leaking, no muss, no fuss.

 

[JenJen]

I was ready to order a mod - I was wanting to do SOMETHING to make the 510 work like I thought it should. Thankfully, I saw a few posts from Phoenix and Sym, and decided to take a look at the V4L forum to see what the fuss was all about! I saw, and have been smilin ever since! I owe ya Phoenix! And Fisherpals famous "bra" video didn't hurt! I almost wet myself because that was ME! lol

I don't think that's Steve, godly though he may be, it's more likely a characteristic of a more efficient method of heating. Just one slender wire in the center of a well-wicked web of well-soaked batting beats the heck out of having the juice suspended in a poorly-wicked material above an underpowered hot-plate element. That's why folks who use three-piecers like battery mods so much; it's the only way you can get enough heat to make such an inefficient system work well. Or sort-of well, anyway.

This is awesome! Finally a sub-forum for this great ecig!! Not much to add at the moment that Phoenix and JenJen and others haven't already said. This ecig kept me vaping when I was ready to throw in the towel after the penstyle, M401 and the infamous (to me) 510. For ease of use, great throat hit and flavor ... this one cannot be beat!!
Looking forward to seeing many great posts here!

Thank you, Mod-Gods!! Our own sub-forum in which to extol the virtues of the KR808!! Thanks to helpful tips from my fellow KR fans I am now accomplished at dripping into BOTH ends of my cart -- even fearlessly dispensing into the BATTERY end!! The KR808 rocks. I'm still searching for the "it" cart, though leaning really heavily toward Marlboro Menthol. When I drain my carts I inevitably fill with Drew's juice, which I got pretty spoiled on after vaping my 510 for months. However, it'd be nice to have laid in a good stash of carts that I really love straight outta the box. So far, I love most of them better after a refill.

But the all-day characteristics of it just rock my socks off. What a departure from the 510 fiddling.

I agree with you, though at the time I posted the original thread I had no concept of any of this so I joked about Steve's wizardry. I probably should have checked the original a little closer before posting. Thanks for pointing this out!

Hi everyone!! I recomend a 2 piece to everyone,My 801 adventures were a nightmare.I felt sticky all the time and it grossed me out.I am so happy with the cartomizers and with refilling it really is affordable and easy.

 

[JohnnyVapor]

The 2 piece design also makes it very easy to switch flavors on the fly. I know whether I'm at work, home, or in the car, that I can change my flavors up in less than 30 seconds with minimal effort or mess.

Yep!

What flavors have you tried? I find my go to flavors are Coffee, Cappucinno, Chocolate, beer, and peach cobbler. I love some of the others also, but these are my faves...

 

[vapn]

I have found the best way to use these if you want to try your own juices is to go with the blank ones out of the box. I get mine from Cigeasy.com and they are only 7.95 for 5 ..... When you put your juice in these it is the best taste you will ever find. I LOVE the blank ones. When I try to re fill those pre filled ones the flavor gets distorted and never tastes right. But these blanks come absolutely dry and no primer fluid to get in the way either.

Hope this helps you guys save a dollar a piece on your cartos...

After doing enough research to make my eyes bleed and a few weeks experience with a VK, here's how I see it:

This is what you want for the best combination of flavor, vapor, portability and ease of use. Right now I couldn't recommend anything else to someone just getting started. It's great for anyone who is on the fence about the whole vaping thing.

But ultimately I suspect that I'm going to end up using two models. I'll stick with this for on the go and other times that I need something solid and easy, then likely use a 510 protege for dripping around the house. Still, I'm sure that if I had to pick one it would be the KR808 for maximum versatility.

Something about wanting to support a US based product may be a factor for me in wanting two models here as well.

Finally, a forum for the 808!!

 

[csteve]

I can figure some things out!

I have one of these I received as a gift, and love it! It has rapidly gained equal time/use with my 510!!

Greencig = no throat hit and the chocolate tastes like plastic lol.

definately KR808D-1 FTW
