901---->801　how to. with dead 901 atty

**funkybozu** · 08-23-2009, 03:33 AM

firstly you need to cut your dead 901 .use a pipecutter does a great job, you should cut about 15mm from the bottom

pull out the inner part of the atty, leave it in while you cut,it will prevent the atty sleeve from bending.
you might need to wipe the inside down. i spray some brakedust spray then wipe it down

just push your male 801 connector into the sleeve
it goes in pretty easily, but once in it stays in

get a brass nail 22mmX1.6mm
1.7mm is better but i couldn't find the nails
so i coated the nail with leadless solder to get it to the right width
then cut the nail to the length of the closed adapter
i cut the nail so it waas practicly flat with the middle part of the connector on both sides

solder both end to block and make the nail connect perfectly

all you need to do now if file down the excess solder and make incisions to let airflow in the 801 connector
i use a router, makes thing really easy
there your done!

you can optionally use Ciscos idea and buy for 2~3$ a 901 manual batt charging adapter
and just pull the 901 male connector out and then either resolder a 801 male or 510 female

personally i find them a bit long so i would take a pipe-cutter to them and use the nail method since it plugs the hole and makes the adapter drip friendly

Nice job funky... There's another idea to store with the others bouncing around up there...LOL

This looks really good, but how does it fix an 801 atty? Are you taking a 901 atty, and using the good guts part and attaching an 801 fitting on each end?

Or you could buy the adapter for as low as 2.99 on some web sites

**tdstrike** · 04-25-2010, 06:20 PM

you've got to understand jean, back when this was first posted there were no manufactured adapter's available. Home brew was the only option.

I love home brew and this is a good one.
Things may not be available one day for $2.99 or more.
Learn to make your own and you'll never be without!
Besides, there's a feeling of satisfaction in it.

A person could use a piece of brass tubing and have the air feed as normal.
Just drill out any solder that might plug the ends!

If the FDA bans vaping...will this site be baned as well? We'll need help to keep vaping so we dont go back to smoking, which is what I would do if a couldnt vape, NO Doubt!
