Video-Cartoimizers with the 510 battery

[arkangel]

Well, as threatened, I sat down tonight at the lathe and made the freaking adapter. It was easy. Now I can run KR808D-1 cartomizers on all of my 510 batteries.

I feel kinda bad though. I was just getting ready to pull the trigger on a KR808D-1 order from Drew, and now I really don't need it. Reckon I'll just gets some carts from him. Sorry Drew!

Scottbee: I'd love to see how you did this too...I've been eyeballing a silver bullet. If I get it with the 501 fitting on it, and had your adapter, I'd be able to play with 501 atty's/carts, or just drop a cartomizer on it when I'm feeling lazy...

Any chance you can post a little how-to? Or is this something for the tool-and-die shop modders only? (my lathe is at the cleaners right now...

altsmoke said they will be selling a 510 to cartomizer adapter soon!

Hey DaMulta...

Do you already have a video of your celphone mod up?
I remember you talking about making one before.

Have a great day!

I did not see that adapter on Drew's site, only the opposite of what you are making, a adapter that will fit these battery's only, and you can use the 510 annty, not the 510 battery. Glade you made one. Would like to see how, I need one.

This battery adapter will allow you to use your 510 Atomizer with the following batteries:

• KR808D-1
• 901
• Vapor King
• Nebula

I wasn't going to buy an adapter from Drew, I was going to buy a full KR808D-1 since I didn't have any (functional) batteries.

I was thinking to myself last night.. I really should be taking pictures of this mod. But, when I get into the bowels of things I rarely take the time to document the procedure!

The mod is easy, and you don't need a lathe. But without a lathe you better have a steady hand or a tubing cutter that can make a clean cut without collapsing the material.

You'll need a dead 510 atty and a KR808D-1 (or Nebula, or VK) battery that no longer makes you smile.

1) Take the 808 battery apart. You want the threaded connector end intact. I got mine apart by carefully using my Dremel to slit down the side of the outer casing by the cartomizer end. It didn't take much slitting to allow me to pull the guts completely out.. without any damage to the internals. Remove the vacuum switch and all that paraphernalia from the threaded end (it's easy to break the plastic vacuum switch out.... it's just glued in place). All you want to have left is the threaded outer ring with the center pole and white insulator still in place. You don't need the negative (outer) wire... cut it out. You do need a short length of positive (center pole) wire. Mine was already broken (hence the battery failure) so I had to pop the center pole out and solder on a new short piece of wire.

2) Cut the outer casing of your 510 atty down so that it is 7/16" long when measured from the threaded end. Repeat... you want the outer casing to be about 7/16" long (not including the brass threaded section). This length is based on the standard thin band Joye atty.

3) With the outer casing cut down it is easy to access the actual atomizer and take it apart. Remove the guts of the atty completely... including the hidden inner sleeve which is wrapped in Kapton tape. You should end up with just a sleeve with the threaded end and center pole still intact... and a red and black wire sticking out. You can remove the black (negative) wire.

4) You want to create a small solder joint between the center pole wire on the atty and the center pole wire from the battery connector. Cut the wires as short as you can while still being able to solder them together.

5) Insulate your solder connection. I used a dab of liquid electrical tape and then let it dry.

6) Coil the wire a bit so it will collapse up into the KR808D-1 battery connector and then press the battery connector into the atty sleeve. It should go in pretty easily. I "faced" the jaws of my vice with two pieces of wood and used it as a press.

Your adapter is now done. You shold have an adapter that is about 3/4" long overall with the brass atty threads on one end and the KR808D-1 battery threads on the other. The brass end screws into your 510 batteries, and the cartomizer screws onto the other end.

You will probably note that this setup has too much air flow (but that is a personal preference). To knock it back down to "stock" airflow performance, plug the center hole in either the atty or battery end of the adapter. A blob of silicone caulk will work fine.

There you go!

WOW, A lot of work I will just buy one, easier for me anyway. Do you know if Drew's adapters have air holes?

Smokie... you may be missing the point. To the best of my knowledge, nobody (yet) sells an adapter that will allow you to put cartomizers directly onto a 510 battery. The OP of this thread shows a way to do it with TWO adapters. NHaler's adapter "goes the other way"... 510 atty's on KR808D-1 batteries.

Yes they do sell that type of adapter, but are out of stock, and you need two different types for the air flow, unless you drill a hole in the (510) first adapter goes on the 510 battery, the second adapter which is 510 to a 901 antty, but like I said you do not need that 901 adapter, if you drill a hole in the 510 one. links below for you.

I agree. It would appear that if you modify the first adapter (via drilling a hole in it or providing some other method for airflow) you would get the same result.

My point was... and I still believe I am correct... that there is currently no single adapter that you can buy that will allow you to put a cartomizer on a 510 battery and have it work. But there is an adapter that you can buy and modify. Right?

Altsmoke is going to release one soon they said.

My understanding is this adapter for the 510 works perfect, but adding the 901 adapter to the 510, you will need to drill a hole on the 901 adapter. Check out this video below.
