The website says these are DSE801 4 hole attys but the details page on them says they are "specially built 3 hole attys."

What makes them different from the regular DSE801 high bridge and how many holes do they have?

I like the high arch bridge more than some people, probably because I use an unusual PTB mod that cradles the bridge and feeds the liquid really well without flooding, leaking, or burning issues.

Why? Harder draw? Easier Draw?

I hope i don't get besieged again for posting my answer, but i was having this draw problem too.
I'm using 4 different 801 atty's (Sedansa, BE112, TW and PS).
I could not figure out why on the PT i was getting easy draws, and on the stick i had to suck like a vacuum cleaner?

I have recently discovered that the amount of recess or lack of this recess, that the center brass post has...gives a totally different draw on these atty's.

So a few days ago i went an bought a punch set so as to tap the brass portion in a little more or out some more.

I found that the Sedansa and PS atty's work really well with a large recess.
The TW half way, and the BE 112, nearly flush (no recess).

When there's no recess at all, (BE112), before you screw on the adapter, it is better to first take out the batteries from the prodigy.
In this manner you can push the switch down so it is flush with the case.
This makes the adapter easy to screw on without the switch popping up.

Hope this helps.

i took some closeup pics of different atty's.
I can't see some of the holes. I will have to get a magnifying glass.

I get hard draw and poor quality taste on my Prodigy. Usually every day or two at most, I clean the atty with Ever Clear - 190 proof pure grain alcohol. The performance returns to "normal", and the liquid tastes great again. I seem to average about two weeks of use on an atty before it is shot.

I use the SLB801 "high bridge", very happy with performance. I wonder how many holes are in them?

I think the large reservoir gets kinda "gunked" with the unused eliquid that stays on the bottom of it.
