Is the 801 becoming passé?

[DonDaBoomVape]

Of the items in my collection, my Janty Kissbox Classic is one of my favorites. I hope it's not becoming passé. But, the Janty site has not had any batteries available for weeks and I need to order some. I think I saw compatible batteries elsewhere with LED tips. I hope LED tips become passé, and soon.

The Janty Kissbox Classic uses the Joye302 atomizer, which is compatible with all 801 batteries.

My favorite battery for it (other than mods) is the Kr8 with adapter, e.g., from Good Prophets. [NOTE: I don't think highly of the Kr8 or 801 manuals, the button is nothing like the 501's, which is excellent.]

I'm finding the BE112 ordered from Indyvapor to be holding up quite well vaped in my 5v Nicobox. Went through a DSE801 every other day @5v, while the two BE112's I use in rotation have gone a week with no problem so far even while being dripped for the most part and the metal tube does get quite hot, meaning I'm chain vaping. The two 4072's tried earlier lasted two days each, if that so I think the BE112 will become--for me--the standard of penstyles.

Checking goodprophets for an adapter, following your recommendation. The closest match I see is "808/901 batt-to-801 atom" ... is that the one I need to use KR808D-1 batteries with my Kissbox Classic? Just want to make sure I get the correct one.

Thanks for the info Don, much appreciated.

Wow, the Kissbox with a KR8 XL battery will be a REALLY long unit! LOL, kinda cool. I measured the combo, about 200 mm, not counting any additional length attributed to the adapter.

OH, and sorry about the unintentional sidetrack. I thought the Kissbox used an 801 vaporizer. More than six weeks in, and I'm still such a newbie. And, I still don't like battery tip LEDs, but I like the KR8 in spite of them.

I have a weak performing 801 so along with a 510 order I bought an adapter for the 510 so I could see if it was the atty or the battery that was crippled.

The 801 battery works great on the 510 atty for when my 510 battery is charging or if I want a hotter more powerful vape but I prefer everything about the non joy 510 pv.

I agree with zofryer. The 901 should go away but I do plan to buy a 901 adapter to see which part of that one is worthless. I MAY continue with an 801 battery to 510 atty for those times I want a hotter vape.

I hope that makes sense. It's early. * yawn*

That is the adapter you want. The DSE901 and KR808D-1 threads are identical, so that's why Good Prophets (and most others) have the same adapter for those two batteries.

I am pretty sure that the Kissbox uses the Joye 302 penstyle atty, which is fully compatible with the DSE801. [All of Janty's hardware (including the eGO) is Joye.]. '801' is like kleenex: it often is used to refer to all penstyles, regardless of manufacturer or model #.

So I'm in my 2nd week of using two BE112's in rotation on a 5v nicobox and both attys are holding up strong. Due to their hardiness, I've been putting off making a 4.2v Nicobox which I thought I'd need to keep my penstyle budget in line by not constantly popping attys.

Can't think of a more perfect union of function to function than a BE112 atty wedded to a 5v Nico.

I do some minor maintenance in soaking in hot water for about 10 minutes and then air drying to be used the next day. Easy enough to do when boiling water for tea in the morning or doing dishes at night.

Whatever BE's doing, hope they maintain it and not become wonky quality-wise as I hear the Joye 510 attys are these days.

Don,

I think I may have stumbled upon a "wood grain" penstyle (stateside). The picture shows the chrome model, but it gives (some kind of wood- my computer is not behaving, can't verify the exact name) as an option. I have NO idea what model it is either, so you may want to ask!


FWIW: A friend reccommended the site, she's been a happy customer for 2 years.


I saw that healthcabin.net had them too (wood.. not sure if it's wood grain). Atty and batt could be ordered in singles. AND they are running specials.

I started out on a Joye 510, which was great, and got me off analogues. When I bought a SP2 and a SD MKII, I began using the SP2 with a 801 atty, which it came with, and the SD MKII with a mega 510 atty and cartridge. The 801 was far superior to the 510. Thinking that the differences might be with the mods, I switched the attys, and found that the 801 on the SD MKII was still better than the 510, more TH, vapor, and flavor. Also, the cartridge on the 801 is more reliable. My last order of attys and cartridges was for all 801s. I'm still using the mega 510 attys and cartridges on EGO batteries, since I have so many of them, but when they are gone they won't be replaced....

I've only used two different 801 attys so far, but they provide the best combination of vapor, throat hit, and flavor compared to other types of attys. And the carts are so much more generous in size. And they're quieter, maybe that's because the coil is farther away, idk. My favorite style of atty.

I used a LR DSE801 (2 ohm) for 3.5 weeks before putting it on the shelf. I had to clean/dry burn that atty a few times to keep it performng over that time. For the last couple of weeks I've been using 510s and a 901. But this evening I'm using a LR BE112 (2 ohm). I had put it on the shelf after a couple of days of use some time ago. I had swapped it out to sample some new flavors and the smaller attys work better for that.

Both of those 801s work better as primary vaping engines than the handfuls of 510s, 901s, and tiny 401s that I've used.

I'll have to sample some more BE's vs DSE's to pick a final winner between the two. My initial impression is that the LR DSE801 from IkenVape has an edge on the LR BE112 in terms of flavor and vapor, but I haven't tried enough of them to know for sure. The BE fits better on my 801 adapter and it does wick more easily from a foam filled cart, but the DSE tastes better and makes more vapor (and lasted a reasonably long time even with my VG rich liquids).

I was considering ordering some more 510 and 901 attys. I'm glad I screwed this BE112 back on tonight. Really reminded me of how much better this style of atty is for me.

I've got a couple more DSE801s on hand, but only this one BE112, that's what I should be looking to order a couple more of instead of 510s or 901s.
