Hi all,

Does anyone know what make and model the batteries are that come with the 510 Carto Kit from Vape Escape:
www.vapeescape.co.uk/search.asp?types=Basic+Vaping+Kits+%3E+510+Carto+Kit

Copy only states:
2 x 510 Batteries (Manual or Auto)

Also, are the batteries "sealed" (i.e. no hole in the middle) or not?

Cheers,

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Yes, maccafan's post was interesting re. the voltage. Suppliers need to be a little careful with their claims (especially re. their competition).

This is why forums, such as this are so valuable.

Cheers,

@ Chrissie : I think the VGO2 Auto batteries are sealed.

Just heard from Andy @ JAC Vapour re. adapters:

Our carts do require a higher voltage to perform at their best, all our Vgo/KR808D-1 stuff performs at 3.7-4.2v whereas the 510 stuff is all 3v under load despite being listed at 3.7v.

We have currently not been able to track down a manufacturer of the adapters for the other way [VGO > 510], I have not found 1 company that even sells them UK or US, but we are looking.

Which backs up what Chrissie and others have been saying. i.e. there currently is no solution. But it looks like one is being sought.

Thanks Chrissie.

Just read the thread you pointed to.

I agree, the customer service from JAC Vapour has been faultless. It's interesting that Andy at JAC Vapour is bucking the 510 trend. I can see that backfiring in the long run.

I'll contact him and see if he can shed any light on VGO2 to 510 adapters.

Also good to know that the Echo is pretty much the same as the VGO2. It certainly looked pretty identical.

Thanks again Chrissie. Things are becoming much clearer.

Hi all

I'm looking for possible (better) alternatives to my current "thin" (<1 cm diameter) 808D-1 auto battery.

Currently (for outdoor use) I use a V3 78mm (230mah) from JAC Vapour (and I like the fact that they've got a 42 day warranty). They're "drip protected" (sealed) unlike the Innokin ones I tried which were very poor and failed after a few days.

The KR808D-1 Auto Battery looks like it might fit the bill. They're the same voltage, a little longer but last longer too (280mah)

Questions:
1) Are the KR808D-1 Auto Batteries any good?
2) Have any JAC Vapour (V3) customers used both batteries and if so which did they prefer?
3) Are there other 808 ("sealed") auto batteries that I should be looking at?
4) I assume a standard USB 808 charger will be able to charge all 808 Auto batteries. But I probably assume wrong, since life can't be that easy, surely?

Finally (on a partially related note):

5) Have any users of JAC Vapour's VGO2 Auto batteries also used Hangsen's Echo Automatic Battery? They are both 808s and look almost identical. If so, is one any better than the other?

Any help much appreciated.

Many thanks,

I.
