808 cartomizer question

[hittman]

I got a pack of blank cartos and a 901 to 808 adapter so I could try these for the first time. I am using a mod at 5v if that is important. To me the draw seems so easy that it is luck sucking air thru a straw. I was wondering if I am doing something wrong. The only way I can get a good TH and vapor is to do a direct lung hit for about five to six seconds. Any help or advice is welcome.

I have 2 battery mods (SB & BB) that I use exclusively for KR808 cartos.

On both adapters, I experienced the same thing... the draw was too light.

I took a round wooden toothpick and stuck it in one of the little holes under the threads. Broke it off and used my thumbnail to make sure it was seated good & tight. End of problem.

Give that a try. It worked for me and if it doesn't for you a pin or needle is all that's needed to dig the wood out of the hole.

I also heard of super glue to glue 1 hole. but toothpick sounds good too..

On my stock battery, I put a very small piece of tape over one of the holes in the battery and it helped both of the issues you mentioned.

Thanks folks. I will give that a try. I really want to like these but the light draw drives me nuts.

Just a reminder about superglue. It is used in forensics to bring up fingerprints on bodies and the like. It is heated under a low heat and the fumes coat the perspiration of the print. Also, some people are very sensitive to cyanoacrylate (superglue.) According to Wikipedia, though, it is safe to use for sutures and becomes inert in the lungs (Cyanoacrylate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) I use it to build models, but I don't think I would personally heat it on an atomizer and inhale it...

I wouldn't use superglue on any part that is heated but on the battery it should be just fine.
