What's the trick with the 801?

**jova3** · 04-28-2009, 08:07 PM

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. When I first got it, I was getting puny little puffs of smoke, then like the next day I was getting thunderheads out of the thing, and then I accidentally broke the atomizer. I don't know how it broke, maybe I dropped it or something, but it went into pieces.

So now, two weeks later, I finally get a new atomizer, and I'm getting little puny clouds. I've got an RN4081 too, and I can get more vapor out of this thing than I can out of the DSE 801. What's the trick to getting this thing working PROPER? I thought I had it figured out until I broke the thing. Now I've got new parts and can't figure it out. Frustrating.

Are your batteries fully charged? That often effects the performance of the atomizer.

jova3, I am having the same problem with my 801 from day one. I ordered extra batteries and attys and they all are disappointing. I hope someone has an answer! I want vapor.

well i got new batteries too and I let the first one charge for the initial 12 hours, then hooked it up to the new atomizer, put a fresh filled cartridge, and puff, puny......

Two weeks ago when I first got the starter kit it was doing the same thing for a day, and then it started giving me thunder clouds, and then I broke it. I have no idea what I did the first time to get it to really produce vapor.

Well, I don't know if this is what's wrong with yours, but I've found that the 4 hole atomizers that I had don't work on anything I have that takes an 801 atomizer. I have a SD with an adapter, a mini pipe, a Janty Kissbox, USB passthroughs, njoys, and unnamed '801' style batteries.

When I switched to the BCE112 atomizers which are the same as the older-style 2 hole 801 atomizers, everything worked.

i have said it before ... and i will say it again... I'm a firm believer in the idea that atomizers need a "break in" period , my latest 801 was wimpy for about 1 to 2 days , then i got clouds of vapor and a monster throat hit... give it some time

are the BCE 112 atomizers compatible with the rest of the DSE 801 parts? Cartridges, batteries?

yes...there is no problem with those atomizers working with 801 batteries

Gotta agree with that. It took me about the time it took to get rid of the primer taste for my atomizers to really produce a good vapor. I found it with 901 and 801 attys. The only one that didn't seem to need a break in was the 801 atomizer I got from Juicy and that could have been that my husband has a much stronger draw than I do.
