Better air flow!!

**MrKrinkle** · 02-13-2009, 12:07 PM

I'm still sucking down analogs waiting on my first DSE901 & RN4081 to arrive but the advice stated is wonderful news I figured on needing to buy atomizer after atomizer but you have given me great hope and joy that atomizers can be brought back from the dead...

Jaaxx, your method is awesome! Just applied, and my DSE-901 has turned into a steam machine! I also noticed that the sensitivity of the switch has increased a lot. I hardly put it into my mouth and the LED is already blue!

Thanks again!

Surgy--Realigning causes a better airflow on draw--Steam machine it is!!! Sun

Hi, everyone.

As far as pushing out the atomizer, yep this is an issue with the 901's. It's not in my pics, but the whole atomizer assembly is in it's own tube and THAT tube is glued into the atomizer tube. The inner tube will come free from the outer tube and slide forward. If it slides more than 4-5mm or so the wires snap and you're done.

When using this method, you can use a little dowel, q-tip, etc. to hold the atomizer in.

I'm still waiting on an 801 to totally die so I can deconstruct it.

Jaaxx--the 801's are a breeze to take apart. Using two vice grips, you gently clamp on the plastic head with one and the tube with the other and twist the battery connection right off. You then push the creamic holder out from the cartridge hole with a thin screwdriver. There is no glue and the creamic holder of the coil is cased in a clear rubber clear tube that lets the hole assembly come slip right out. You can take on apart and readily reassemble it in a matter of minutes. I have yet to take one apart that showed any wiring or connection issues and the coil is alway intact. There is mesh all the way around the ceramic holder and that to never shows and degredation--Take a look when you can--Sun

Sorry Sun, can't follow that. Need Photo. Mmmmm Photo.
The 801 is a Penstyle is'nt it ? You are talking about just the Atomiser being put in a vice? The Atomiser is quite thin. I could squash one out of shape with my thumb and forefinger.

The 801 and the RN4072 are both penstyles as well as the generics--You use two adjusting locking plier that you set to just grip enough to get a hold of the top (plastic ring that connects to the battery) with one and the other to the atomizer metal body--it will in no way dent or squeeze or hurt the atomizer if you set them to just lightly grap hold when they lock down (the are called Vice Grips--been around for 30 years). And then you just twist out the plastic connector from the metal tube and out it comes. Then you push out the from the inside the ceramic holder with a small long screwdriver inserting in the Cartridge side and push out the battery side. It comes right out as there is a clear rubber housing that surrounds the ceramic holder and acts as a insulator. It is very easy to take apart--very easy----Hope that heps--Sun

When I try to align the mesh it just bends the needle... am I pushing on the wrong thing??

It does definitely improve the airflow just by widening the holes slightly, whenever it feels a bit tight I just stick a paper clip in the end a couple of times now and it's back to normal

Wow great post. I got my first one comming soon so i'm shure I will get to try this eventually. Dose anyone know if the same method applies to the M401 or Pilot?
