51 Trio Questions..

[d4rqk0n3]

Alright, I am not new to vaping, however I recently kicked the analogs completely. I own a 510 but my wife likes it more than me, I just went to the local headshop and picked up a 51 Trio started kit that way i didnt have to wait for an order to come in. Anyhow, I love this little thing. I figured out how to top off the carts and now I am good to go, except I only have one auto battery. I know there is a "generic" name for this thing, I am hoping someone could tell me, see smoke51.com sells the "name brand" parts however the prices are ridiculous, I want to pick up at least a manual battery possibly another auto as well, just cheaper than smoke51.com's prices. Any help would be much appreciated.


Also, this is my first auto batt. and I am nervous about the tiny hole in the top of the batt, what is the best method to making sure I keep my battery as clean as possible so it doesnt spontaneously die on me?

Thanks,
d4rqk

My recommendation as someone that started with a trio...try an eGo as it is light years more consistent and better all around.

It's a 4081 clone.

Awesome, thank you, I was fairly sure of the fact that is was an RN4081 but I have always seen them in pictures with an exposed atomizer, I guess (from the page candre posted) it is just a compatible DSE103 atomizer. Meh, w/e I can now safely look for myself some new spare parts. Thanks ECF I knew you guys would help me out!

4081s were made with both high and low bridge versions. Obviously you need carts made to fit the bridge style, but other than that, they perform about the same and will obviously work with the same batteries.

My understanding is that the 103 has the exposed bridge and the 4081 does not. The picture on the link above is probably a 103. I know for sure that both batteries will fit the atomizer you have. I had a bunch of 4081 atomizers and I ordered both 4081 and 103 batteries and they were fine. To be honest, the batteries I bought (a few different kinds) that were listed as 103s were better than the ones listed as 4081s. The manual batteries are a bit harder to find for those. With the auto battery, just be careful about dripping so much that it runs through into the hole in the battery (if you actually drip into the atty).

I just went to their site and, I swear, it looks like one picture has the exposed-bridge atomizer and the user's manual doesn't.
