Standardized battery connections.

Is the 510 thread the industry standard now? I hope it is not. To start with, it is too small and weak. The seal/insulator is too small to take the beating on being screwed on and off to the battery connection. I recently have been having some leak issue on Vision Stone II. I took apart one appart to figure out the problem. The fittng is 510 thread. It is too small to design a durable seal in there. The seal in the Stone (for all 510's for that matter). That may explain why most atomizer leak at the bottom. The industry should come up with a standard larger size like the 801 so that they can device a larger and better seal.

I agree. The 801 is superior in every respect - anything to do with the threads or connections, and also because the atty and everything else can be much bigger.

Unfortunately it is too late, everyone went with the 510. But if we started from scratch and wanted to develop the best system possible, it would be based on the 801 (BE112).
 
Some quick faqs:

510, 400 series = M7 (7mm)
901, KR808, 100 series = M8 (8mm)
801 = M9 (9mm)

This isn't the whole story but it's an outline of the relative sizes. The battery / carto threads are often reversed when moving between two different model series with the same basic size. 801 is the biggest, therefore the most mechanically sound. There are also electrical advantages.
