V2/Zerocig compatibility

[JanaOnWheels]

Hi! I'm pretty new to this and pretty easily confused. What I'm trying to find out but have not been successful is, will the Zerocig cartridges fit on the V2 battery? I have the standard battery that looks like a cigarette, that comes in the basic starter kit.

I believe the V2's are 808 thread, and judging by a quick search it appears the Zerocig's are some sort of non-standard thread(beware anyone that does this), so not likely they will work together.

I bought some from Revolution Vapor to fit mine. They work well and are considerably cheaper than V2 blanks.

 

[JanaOnWheels]

Yeah, I read the same warning somewhere before - that if the company doesn't give the size, be leery of them. The reviews I've seen have all been positive, though, so I was willing to give them a try, as a store has just opened 2 minutes away from my house. I wanted to try the cartridges before investing in another system; I did not care for the V2 cartridges, though to be fair, I only tried their menthol.

Currently, I'm using GreenSmartLiving, which I like - the cartridges, anyway - but the batteries keep failing on me after only a few weeks.

While it's possible that I might eventually try out a more sophisticated system, I would like to stick with the cigarette lookalikes for now. Part of my addiction is the motion of smoking, and these offer the closest similarities.

h0bnail,

Thanks for the info! Really, I'm just looking at the Zerocig compatibility because of the store's proximity to my house. I'm an instant gratification kind of gal, LOL, and hate waiting for packages to arrive in the mail. (smile)

As on their site : Vapor4life, White Cloud, SmokeTip, Premium, EonSmoke et autres e-cigarettes de type E8/KR808D-1, mais avec l’introduction du nouveau adaptateur V2, encore plus de cartouches (« cartomizers ») peuvent maintenant être utilisées avec V2 Cigs, tels que: Greensmoke, Red Dragon, Bloog, E-9, Vapures, Fumée 51 DUO, eSmoke, South Beach Smoke et autres e-cigarettes de type E9/KR808D-2.

No problem. My closest store is 30-45 minutes away, so it's easier for me to just order stuff.

I know what you mean. However, one has to draw the line.... that is a bogus dealer selling rubbish products for terrible prices.

 

[JanaOnWheels]

Um, actually, I don't think it's a bogus dealer, or if it is, they'll probably get sued or something - they're using Zerocigs logos and such: Electronic Cigarettes by ZEROCIG - Vaping Superstore Corona, CA, 92882 - YP.com

I'm not sure if the products are rubbish; the reviews I've seen so far have all been positive.

And the prices are very reasonable.

Where have you seen the reviews? Are you sure that they're honest reviews and not just part of their advertising (in a roundabout way)?



ETA: All scam artists have good reviews!

 

[JanaOnWheels]

LOL, good point. They were all sort of scattered about. I just typed "Zerocig reviews" in Google and bounced around to the different sites that popped up. There was also a YouTube video review that I watched.

If you're not buying their batteries, but only the cartomizers, it's not a big risk. A 5-pack of cartomizers shouldn't be over $10. But, if they aren't compatible, you do know that they're going to try to sell you an entire kit. So, make sure to be prepared for that before you go in.

It would be wiser to just order some cartomizers from Smokeless Image or Bloog. A vendor that has a good reputation for both really good cartomizers and for good customer service.

I've bought from SI before. I love their cartos. And they have a discount code (CompareOur808d) for 15% off cartomizers only. Or 10VOLTECF for 10% off entire purchase. It's a safer bet. And, their shipping is fast.

Whatever you decide, good luck!

 

[JanaOnWheels]

Thanks, for the recs and the good luck!

Hi again Jana.

I can only speak as I find, and I do so from bitter experience. Nothing on there is a reasonable price. Reviews for products on most e-cig sites (especially those selling mini/look-a-like) are generally not to be trusted.
They have a Kanger evod set for $49.99. I bought one of these only last week with a glass clearomiser (also re-branded to a specific vendor) for $31.00 (UK equivalent).

If you want to buy from them, go for it. I never get upset about being told to mind my own business, as long as people have heard both sides of the story. The express kit style package is available for $12 in the UK.

 

[JanaOnWheels]

Eek, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come across as if I was telling you to mind your own business. I posted so that I could get feedback, after all!

I was just explaining my side of things, as I had found things to be while researching. The reviews I read weren't on their site, but on various review sites that I happened upon after 'Googling' it.

On their site, the basic starter kit is $19.99 for the battery, charger, and 2 cartridges - I have found that to be fairly common. I paid the exact same amount for my GreenSmartLiving starter kit. When buying the V2 starter kit, it came with a battery, a charger, 5 cartridges, and one disposable for $39.99... So, for 3 extra cartridges and a disposable, $20 more than the other starter kits. Which seemed comparable, except that I didn't like the cartridges; they were harsh on my throat.

What I'd really like to find is an e-cig that has good cartridges, with batteries that don't quit after 3 weeks, and preferably that I can buy in person, not online. When I learned that we had this new Zerocig store here in town, I got excited, because maybe I just found what I was looking for! Yay! But, maybe not, LOL. I'll at least go check out the store and see what I think.

Thanks so much for the feedback, and I apologize if I implied that your comments were unwelcome.

Jana, you are blameless.

There are just so many stories about people buying simple look-a-like e-cigs and getting into hundreds of $ or £ expenditure before realising just how expensive some brands are.

I started with a brand that promised many things, none of which are true.
Mostly, the batteries are very cheap and don't last long, not to mention give up after a month. I have discovered on my journey that the batteries I bought for $16 are $2.89 from the Chinese wholesaler. The cartomizers are equivalent to 6-8 real smokes (of the brand I was using) and yet the shop insisted there was 40 cigarettes-worth of nicotine and puffs.

Sadly, for the time being, price is just "open season" on unsuspecting newbies.

There are some excellent small e-cigs on the market, but they are hard to find, especially buying in person from a store.
I wish you luck.

LOL, well, I am that, in a way. I've done a lot of reading, but since I don't know the lingo yet, I'm pretty much prey right now. I've been relying heavily on reviews at this point, though I started using my current system only because it was easily available to me at my local smoke shop. It's an okay system; it loses points for the poor battery life. It charges well, and lasts a decent amount of time once charged, but dies after just a few weeks.

Now, if I could find a decent battery that these cartridges will fit on to, I'd be happy with that, but most batteries I've seen are 'male'; this battery is 'female'.
