Vapor King compatible parts discussion

[uzzaperez]

I'm interested in hearing about what everyone has to say about compatible parts for the VK components in general and don't see a forum topic for this. If there is another thread addressing this please post a link.

For starters, my big question:

1. Is there a compatible atty that can be used for direct dripping with the VK batteries?

I love the balance of convenience, throat hit, vapor and flavor that the VK product has, but I tend to burn up the carts. Since burning through the cartomizers can get expensive over time, I want to find a direct drip atty to supplement my VK set up.

I've heard the 901 has a matching thread, can you use a 901 atty with a VK battery? Can you use a KR808D-1 cartomizer on a 901 battery?

2. Is there a manual battery or passthru out there that works with both the VK and Greencig cartomizers? (The Greencig carts work on the AUTOMATIC VK batteries, but not the manuals - an issue I understand V4L is working on).

3. What other compatible compenents are people using with their Vapor King batteries, cartomizers, passthrus, and PCCs?

I can answer the first one:

1) You can use a 901 atty on a VK battery. That will allow you to drip. You may get more airflow than you anticipated though.

You can physically put a cartomizer on a 901 battery, but you won't get a decent draw. The 901 battery isn't "vented" properly (which is why the 901 atty has a hole in it).

Vapor Country sells a 901 cartomizer adapter that works.

DSE-901 PCC (White) PRE-SALE!!!

It will make for a very long e-cig though.

I use one on my SB (with a 901 adapter). The draw is WAY too light, so I put a piece of scotch tape around it so it half covers the air hole in the side of the adapter.

Thanks. I'll try a 901 atty.

Hi Scottbee,

Let me see if I understand this right.

I can have a VK battery and just order a 901 atty to screw on?
ergo, wouldn't you be converting your VK to a 901 and be able to use all the 901 cartridges?

Or am I crazy?

Yes, the 901 atomizers work on the VK without needing an adapter. I frequently use my VK passthrough with a 901 atomizer to drip and that is my favorite to vape... strong vapor and great throat hit. The only problem is that you can only put in about 6 drops at a time (depending on the size of you dropper bottle) or the juice will leak out of the atomizer hole.

The added bonus is that if you have 901 accessories (e.g., wall charger, usb charger), they will work with the VK. You can even use a 901 mouth piece on the VK if you prefer the indented mouth piece to the round cartos, but you need to use a heated pin (use a match) or something to make the hole in it larger to get the proper drag. Likewise, you can charge 901 batteries on all VK chargers (usb, wall, PCC). So, I you are like me and switched to V4L from a 901, you don't have to lose all of the money that you invested in in the 901. HTH.

Thanks for the reply calla2!

I don't have a 901 but it's nice to know that I could test a 901 by just getting an atty and a cartridge.

The adapter that allows a 901 batt to vape a cartomizer has to have a hole in it..but if you have 801 devices and want to use a cartomixer you will need a ring style 801 to 901 adapter. Those little silver or gold rings alread have a hole in them...no extention needed.
Another tip..if you plan to drip in a 901 atty on your VK batt, think about getting the sealed manual batts. That way the liquid can't get down in the batt and short it out or make it stick. The cartomizers really don't leak..unless you over fill them so it isn't an issue with them.

Hmmm. I had no idea that the auto batteries could be shorted out. Thanks for the info. What do you mean by "make it stick?" Are all of the manual batteries sealed? "Sealed manual batts" could imply that some of the manual batteries are not sealed. I don't think that's what you meant but I just want to be sure. What about the passthroughs? Are they sealed or unsealed? My cartos usually leak when I refill, even after as little as 5 or so drops, and especially if I don't put the plug in first then let it sit to soak in. I'm always careful apply the drops slowly and evenly around the perimeter, and to not let liquid get into the center tube/hole, but that doesn't stop the leaking. I always stop at around 12 drops so that they, hopefully, won't leak onto the battery.

The manual batteries have a switch that is separated. The auto batteries rely on air being drawn through the tube to actuate a switch. Therefore, because they're open, juice can run down into the switch.

The electrical resistance on the juice I've tested is very high (mega-ohms), so I'm note certain about "shorting out" but it will make a switch stick, open or closed, like mad.

If you keep the cartomizer at an angle (say around 45deg) when you fill and don't over-fill, they don't tend to leak much in my experience.

It sounds like you're not filling with the butt-plug in place? That's a must. Give them time to absorb into the batting with the butt-plug in place, and they won't leak. The batting wicks it up.

Passthroughs function identically to battery, be they manual or automatic, respectively. You're just replacing the power source.
