PTB for 801?

[baby driver]

I just got my first 801 and am trying to figure out how to use the PTB material in the cart. Any advice, descriptions, links to videos???

Thanks in advance.

You have to be super careful doing PTB with an 801. If your 801 isn't a sealed manual it is highly likely you will short out the battery due to leakage. But if you wish to try it the setup is that same as all the others with the exception of needing 1.5 teabags. With a 510 you only use 1/2 teabag. With the 801 I cut the teabags in half lengthwise. I used 3 pieces which is 1 and 1/5 bags. Roll it up just like the 510 and stuff it in there. You really need to do the shred trick to the uppermost 1/4 inch of the finished PTB mod to get it to wick properly. You can find instructions for the shredding in the "Only Way PTB work" post. Hope that helps.

This will be for 801 passthroughs and the protege with 801 adapter. All are sealed. I am trying the 801 because of the large capacity in the cartridge.

This is not really clear and I would be interested in more input regarding this.

Thanks ParmaCrafter.

The only way I can get the PTB to work/wick well in my 801 atty is to take a piece of polyfill and roll it up in the middle of the PTB, sort of pig in a blanket style : p

If I don't, the liquid just drains straight down the center of the PTB and floods my atty.

the PTB mod are not the best in my finding in the 801s they do work but flood the atty. i have been working on a few mods and 1 seems to be doing great but i need to do a few more cart fills befor i right up a tut on what it is and how to do it. look for it in a few days

I tried it with a thin strip of the blue foam with 2 PTBs long way and made into 3 strips that fit the cartridge and it seems to work well for now.

The next problem is the USB wall plug adapter. Mine is 1000 mah/5v and will not run the 801. The USB will run the 801 directly off the computer, but I prefer not to do that. Please include any links for one that will work. Low cost appreciated.

I can tell I am going to like this with the Protege since it holds so much liquid. (Waiting by the mailbox for my Protege.) I just wish the flat end carts were a little thicker. I guess nothing's perfect or we wouldn't need a forum...

Thanks,
