510 to 901...anyone?

[Kremppie]

I want to try the drip shield, and Empire is out of mods. I can use an adapter and I am wondering if that works ok.

I have 510 threaded devices and occasionally use a 901 atty with a drip shield. I use a 510 to 901 adaptor to do this.

Do you like it? I want to by an Empire, but they are out of stock. I just want to try dripping, and have a shield so it doesn't run dry.

Drip shields are not necessary. To me they were a pita to finds tips and atty combos that would work. Practice dripping will be just as good. Also a decent atty like a Phoenix RBA makes a difference dripping.

I really love the 901 atty. But it's a pain. There's that little hole in the side of it and juice will wait till you're not watching ti come out and next thing you know you're wiping juice off of everything. The drip shields do help but I had to keep widening my holes in it. My main problem is I can't keep a 901 atty alive for more than a few days. All of them I've used have just up and died. They didn't pop or give any warning and I kept them soaked. One draw, pure bliss, then the next.. nothing.. dead.

The shield is to catch the drops that leak out the side of the 901.. it does a good job. I don't know anything about Empire devices. All my stuff is 510 because that's what most cartos and attys are.

I'm trying rebuildables at the moment but, I pretty much use 901s otherwise. The adapters work on most things. They won't work on some bottom feeders though they do on the Reo. I do use a drip shield. If you can't get one at Empire, Avid Vapor has one that works fine.

I use 901's on my 510 threaded devices on an adapter all the time and it works great. I think 901's give better flavor and great vapor production. I've been buying mine in bulk from Vapor Kings and the 901's are really inexpensive. I've only had a problem with leaking if I over drip and have never felt the need for a drip shield.

The drip shield is there to keep from making a mess, not to "feed" the atomizer. It is a drip shield not a drip reservoir. If you add so much juice your drip shield is acting like a tank you will have a very flooded atty that will perform poorly. I use 901 attys primarily on 808 batteries and for a long time didn't bother with a drip shield. They do work fine on a 510 to 901 adapter but 510 atty work great by themselves on 510 devices as do 306 attys.

You can use an empire drip shield with 510 atomizers. You just have to add some length with a couple 510-510 extenders

The drip shield may not technically "feed" the atty but if you over drip and it comes out the side of the atty into the shield, you can vape the atty and then when it needs dripping again, you can give a dry pull to suck the juice back through the hole in the atty. So for me, it does kinda act like a feeder. maybe. sorta. Not saying you can really over drip and flood the atty, but it does catch what comes out and after awhile, enough has collected to suck back in.. sorta like a freebie LOL
