| See kids? Uncle Snark is vindicated! Thanks Highping for keeping us informed I was waiting to hear from you about it with baited breathe, thinking either you would hate it and blast me or love it and by proxy me, lol!
Yeah, the Western Tobacco is a bit on the funky side, I put a couple or few drops of my own flavors to try to cut some of it down. It's odd though sometimes the Western Tobacco is acceptable and other times it's like you vaped a diaper with a newborns load in it. When you say you used 2 carts the whole day, you mean for the 24 hr period right? I used one the first 24 hours but it has varied between one and two carts over a 24 hr period and by carts I mean refilling the cart once so that makes for 2 full carts of vaping. I haven't had one of my originals fail yet except the one I took apart and it wouldn't draw right unless I rearranged it. I prefer to just inject the juice in the bottom of the cart rather than take it apart since it's so much easier and less likely to result in tragedy for the cart. Glad to see that you are happy with it so far. I find that the battery last me a good portion of the day, I don't have to swap it out until later. |

| Snarky, When I did my performance test, I started the day with two fully charged batts and two freshly fill carts. I was trying to see if I could go through the typical day with just two prepped GC's.
I guess it did end up being about 24hrs before I killed the first cart. The first batt didn't die until the next morning, but I was switch hitting between the two.
I don't like to do the same flavor all day. So I had Eco gold 30mg in one and VV coolraspberry 35mg in the other. Yesterday I went ahead and cleaned and loaded three more carts. So now I've got JC peach, MFS marshmellow, JC truffle, Ecogold, and cool raspberry carts going.
Eventually I will load up all ten at the same time and just run them till they're dry. I would like to inject them at some point, but for now I have to break them down to clean them anyway so I'm just filling then. I also like to be sure that I am getting them exactly full. So far, zero juice in mouth, which is pretty impressive.
Also, While in the 'is this gonna work for me' testing phase i'm running high nic stuff. So I haven't seen how the Nhaler HV stuff hits on them yet. So how does it? | |

| It hits great on them I think. I like the flavor and everything about the French Vanilla Coffee which is really thick but it burns nicely in fact GC talked with Drew about putting his juices in GC carts now. He should be getting the shipment anyday now. | |

| As I stated in an earlier post, I would follow up with my decision. I did not order a complete 510 kit as I already had a 306 auto kit. One of my batts died so I ordered a 510 manual. I like the manuals MUCH better and put away the auto. I placed another order for another manual batt, 510 atty and round carts. I now have a complete 510-306 setup with extras. I must say, this is one of the best decisions I have made. Between these 2 combos, I have not had a cig, not even a drag, or the desire to have another smoke in the 2 weeks since I've received the 510 stuff. Now I see everyone has their own opinions and reviews, so this post is probably mute, however, this is my voice and there are those here that will listen, support and with a few beers in me now, I kinda just wanna ramble. So make yourself comfortable, find a playlist on your Ipod and let me roll.
There are many well known issues with the 510 that prevent it from being the perfect vaporizer. Short battery life, inefficient cartridge wicking and high juice usage. However, the hit and draw of this thing have put all the inefficiencies in check for me. I enjoy this unit and find it a pleasure to use over all. There are plethora of options and accessories available that allow me to personalize this thing to my liking. When I need to satisfy a craving, this is the one that has done it for me. And with style.
The 306. The one that started it for me. With auto batteries, white finish and red led, this thing lead me into the world of vaping. With the smaller, recessed cart cup, this thing is a PITA to top off but I have become accustomed to it and found that with the right amount of polyfil, this thing will vape itself dry. I like using the 510 manual batts much better than the autos and now don't even want it to look or feel anything like an analog. I like to vape more often now than I liked to smoke. This is the unit I use if I just want something to pacify me. Even though the cartridge is half the size of the 510, the draw is a little heavier and the hit a little lighter, I like this when I just wanna casually vape. I mostly use an 18mg juice, fill the cartridge and just toke on this thing while I'm drinking, socializing, or while analyzing the problems of the modern automobile at my shop.
Sooo.... 510 for when I'm jones'n, 306 for when I'm chillin. And no more analogs. Period. That's my story. And these are my e-cigs.
And with that said, thank you all again for the input. This story is far from over, but at least I now have a desire and a direction.
May all your batteries stay charged, your attys stay warm and your vapes be tasty. Peace. | |

| Gasolline8, the 510 mega-battery from TW USA made my 510 perfect. It's a little bit longer but it doesn't look wierd at all and it lasts SO much longer than the standard batts. I don't use my standards any more and am giving them all to my sister (who hasn't tried the mega yet so she'll be happy with the standards for a while... I mean they're FREE, so that's a deal for her.

| XL batteries would be nice. Or the PCC. Not sure which way to go there. I would like a PCC as it would help with toting this stuff around, but I don't think the XL batts would fit with the lid closed? Guess I'll just have to buy more stuff.
I ordered another atty and some juice last night. My fiancee asked when I was gonna be done buying stuff. I had to laugh. Though I was able to help her understand that I spend only about half of what I would on analogs. Not to mention that she could keep me around longer. She laughed back. What does that mean? | |

What does that mean? | Not to hype anything or stuff, but I still got a 510 PCC (used 1 month) for sale that I would ship to you for like $16. It's silver with a few minor blemishes. Only accepts std. size batts.

| Laz, that would be awesome, but unless you take credit cards, I'd have to send you my change jar . Even that may be a little sketchy this time of year. Not to mention I had a hard enough time prying it from the little ladies hands last night  | |

| Absolutely brilliant! Great to hear that you enjoy it and agree with my assesment of the GC carts, they are clearly superior. What's really the great thing about them is as you have seen you can take your batteries and 2 carts and be cool for the whole day and into the evening! I add some juice to them to cancel out that western tobacco flavor right from the start. I only took the one apart, I use a syringe to refill it from the bottom it seems to really make them last longer for whatever reason....Glad to see that you are happy and can help spread the word. Hopefully now my bewilderment at people that cling to the 3pc models is a bit more clear now, lol! Quote:

First impressions.. The 808 cartos came prefilled with juice that wasn't too obnoxious so I was just using them out of the box on a 901 batt thursday night. Hit wasn't bad but I could still got the sense that I was getting some filler taste. Not too bad though.
Yesterday when I got the 808 batteries and greencig carts, I immediately plugged the 808 carto into the 808 battery. Hit was a lot better than the 901 battery was giving me.
Then I put my greencig carto on the 808 battery. Couldn't get airflow. So I examined the cartos a little and saw that the 808s have a slot in the center button and the greencig cartos did not. I staple modded one of the GC cartos and got it to work. Much better hit than the 808 carto, but OMG what a horrid taste  . It was the 'western tobacco' flavor that came in the greencig cartos. Worse tasting vape I have ever had (and I have to have tried at least a hundred flavors).
So after about three hits I knew it was time for some deconstructive surgery. I disassembled both the 808 and creencig carts to refill. I agree with you on the superiority of the greencig design. Very well engineered.
I also saw why I was getting filler taste from the 808 the entire element is encased in filler. I love the way the greencig made their design using the hair to keep the filler separate from the heater.
Anyway got 30 drops in the greencig and about 22 in the 808 and reassembled them both, Impressed with how much juice they were holding.
I have kinda set the 808 carto aside in favor of the GCs.
Today I decided to give a 'real world' trial to the GC on the 808 batts. I had both batts charged up overnight and ready to go. I had the one carto filled from last night and filled another this morning. Only on this one I gave it a thorough cleaning in vodka before I even added my juice. I think it will take days of use to get the 'western crapbacco' flavor to finally come out of that first one (yukkkkky), but the on I gave a bath to didn't taste too bad.
Anyway, The greencig cartomizers on the KR-808 batteries passed my 'real world' test with flying colors. I have used them exclusively today and two fully charged batts and two full carts have gotten me through an entire day.
This morning I actually put my little vaping case (full of juices, batteries, carts, paper clips, chargers, etc,etc,etc) in my bedroom so I wouldn't reach for it out of habit.
It has just been me and two prepped greencigs all day.
No dripping, no swapping batts, no juice bottles, no fiddling, etc,etc,etc.
Oh yeah, and nary a drop of juice in my mouth the entire day.
It has only been one day, but it's definitely looking good for the greencigs so far.
I can see just filling like 10 carts on Sundays and throwing two batts on the chargers before bed each night and running all week. That would be great! Maybe then the kids would stop making fun of my "purse" that I have to lug around to keep up with the 510's.
BTW: I dremeled a groove across the center button of the 808 battery, so no need for staple mod anymore. | | |
