510 batt to 901 atty adapter

[fizil]

I was testing out some of my shipment, and I was just wondering if the 510to901 adapter was supposed to have a few mm gap between the 510 battery and the adapter?

BTW, I haven't gotten to the 3.7v box mods yet, but I did go down to radio shack to try out some homemade 901 and 801 connectors i've been dying to try out. I forgot to get a 4xAA box from ya, but got one there and loaded it up with 4xAA. Both the 901 and 801 kick a whole lot like that. Should i be concerned about regular duracels sending me to see ?

[EDIT]: Ok, I screw the adaptor to the battery first, now the gap is on the 901 atty side and i can see the air holes. Is this right? Or should everything be flush?

if its like the one i have it has a lil screw you can tie it up. know imma mean?
its made like that so you can regulate the air flow specially if you're using it with cartos

OHHHH........

I turned a flahead screw thingy and now it's all flush. Thank you good sir! So much to still learn

This is good to know, I have this adapter on order. Thanks!

Both the KR808D-1 and the DSE901 share the same threads. But the cartomizer needs a way to get air into the carto for the draw. Those are the holes you see. The 901 atomizer has its own air hole in the side of the atomizer body so doesn't need air holes. Put together that means some 510->901 adapters are really 510->808D-1 adapters instead. The air holes mean nothing to the 901 atomizer but its important to the 808D-1 carto. Which is also why the middle bit of the adapter moves a bit to help keep some space to help with the draw. All of which can be ignored when using the 901 atomizer.

Of course the opposite can happen too. You're looking to get a 510->808D-1 adapter but you get a 510->901 adapter and then can't draw any air through the cartomizer

Had that happen to me once, confused me until I realized there weren't any holes in the adapter. If I was a manufacturer I'd never make a 510->901 model just a 510->808D-1 so that could never happen.

So the hole on the size of my [slb?] 901 atty has a screw in there; that's for adjusting air flow?

No screw in there, just a hole 901 only uses that for airflow.

And to suck in liquid through it too depending on what PV your using

I'm glad i didn't poke around in there then But i think I learned my lesson when I tried to pull the poly out of a perfectly good carto....rip my poor carto.
