808 Manual Battery Question

[MEEKJAYNE]

I just got and 808 setup, the manual battery has a hole like the auto battery. I watched a video on using the condom fill method and was wondering how to keep liquid from getting into my battery. Are there manual batts without the hole? Or am I missing something? thanks a bunch .

Actually, I think most manual batteries don't have holes. I have manual 808 batts from LiteCigUSA and CigEasy - neither have holes in them and I'd recommend both companies. You can still fill your carto using the condom fill method. Just make sure no juice is leaking out before you screw it onto the battery so that no juice leaks into the hole.

Ok cool, I was made aware by the supplier before I bought them I just failed to see the importance being a newbie in all. Thanks for your help

No problem. There's so much trial and error involved in getting started with a pv, but the people around here are always helpful. Good luck and enjoy that cold there in Texas =)

The hole you're seeing shouldn't go all the way through the battery, but is just on the raised part of the battery that connects to the carto. You can still accidentally get some juice in there, though if you do it won't ruin your battery. You'll just have to clean out the juice and everything will work again.

I was wondering about this also, because from what I had read here manuals should not have a hole. My 808 manual has a hole as well. So you say you shouldn't be able to damage the battery if you used a refilled cartomizer?

I agree with Todos. All the KR8 batts I've seen have a well, but it is not an actual hole that goes all the way through to the battery. Auto batts have a hole for the switch so when you suck on the carto the battery goes on.
