808d threading with an atomizer for dripping?

[Stormlark]

After looking around the forums a bit, I'm getting the urge to attempt some DIY liquid. The major problem with this is that I don't have an atomizer/dripping setup for testing juice. I'm using Smokeless Image hardware, which is 808d threading (from what I understand). When searching for atomizers, most of what I see are 510. I have seen some 808d to 510 adapters, though.

So, if I were to purchase an adapter and some 510 atomizers, would I be able to drip with my Volt PV's? Also, are there any recommendations for suppliers or instructional videos for dripping?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don;t have much to offer in vendor device as I'm cheap and just buy the cheapest thing I find lol, but yes you could use an adapter anda 510 atty to drip, or you can just buy a 901 atty as it is the same threading as the 808d and will screw right on. I'm not sure if I would drip on an automatic battery even though the smokeless image automatics are sealed, I dont know how well sealed, but if you have a manual you should be fine. I am in no way super experienced, I just know the 901 atty will work causde thats what I use on my Volt

Hi!

Here is a vid showing how to convert a 808 cartomizer into an atty. It's very easy.

Thanks guys! I had no idea the 901's were so similar or that cartomizers could be converted. Awesome stuff.

No prob I'm pretty much a newbie to ecigs, but I'm always happy to pass on the little that I do know

P.S. Maybe it's just me and I'm doing it wrong, but I personally couldnt get the converting a cartomizer mod to work, I ruined like three cartomizers trying, but like I said it may just be me

I always used a 901 atty for testing on my 808's before I gave in and upgraded. I kept a manual battery for such endeavors.

I'm down to three batteries after giving away some of my supplies to a family member who still smokes. I was planning on doing the dripping setup on my larger battery, which is a 900mAh manual X2. I have some cartridges somewhere around here that had been used with juices I hated and I couldn't boil them clean. I could attempt to modify them since I was going to throw them away anyway. If that doesn't work out, I'll just purchase a 901 atty when I get started on the DIY liquids.

Thanks again, everyone!

update: I already got the modified cartomizer to work as an atomizer. It was much easier than I thought it'd be.

 

[klstreet]

You've got better luck than me then lolwhen my new cartos come in I may try again just to see if I can

I have adapters, but I wish I knew what to buy for dripping. What kind of 501 drip atomizer do I buy?

 

[markfm]

Pretty much any will work. No need to go too exotic/pricey.

Get the same ohms as the cartos you use, probably 2.5 or 3.

The Cisco spec atties from avidvaper are nice, but a basic $5 - $6 atty or two should do well for diy testing. I used a couple from good prophets, with an 808/510 adapter.

Don't forget to pick up a drip tip, too
A "510/901" drip tip will fit standard diameter atties, and also fits a standard 808 carto.

Let's say I wanted to buy an atomizer/dripping setup from Madvapes instead of using my modified cartomizer (which works but doesn't taste too good). Do these three products look like a good start? Do I need any extra accessories such as syringes or needles?

That is all you need. Dripping is literally that. You do an initial cleaning, blow out any primer in it, then you drip the eliquid into the drip tip, so it falls on the atty. Several drops, give it a couple seconds, test.

Awesome. Thanks again for all the advice.

I looked at the same ones. Doesn't anyone sell an atomizer that is in a tube like that but has a hole of the atty itself so you can drip on it without having to take the drip tip off to add juice

You don't have to take the drip tip off, you drip right into the mouth piece of the drip tip.

About the only other normal variant is if you want a bridgeless atty: http://www.avidvaper.com/sr510-cisco-spec-2-5ohm-bridgeless-atomizer/

You still just drip into the drip tip with those.

This is considered by many as the best drip atty on earth http://www.avidvaper.com/products/HH.357-Cisco-Spec-Hybrid-510-Atomizer.html
They are expensive but I'll be ordering one and see what's all the hype with dripping

If you're already looking at AV, and have either a 510 device or 808/510 adapter, the 306's are great dripping attys and they sell 2 attys + 1 drip tip for $19.99. Keep in mind that with any battery under 650mAh you want to only use SR (standard resistance) devices. Here's a good explanation: WHAT V with WHAT mAh? carto/atty to battery info
