901 atomizer leaking problem - I'm only dripping 2 drops

[enVmyIX]

Ok I've thought about it, but I'm a newbie. Would you mind posting a photo please? I got lost on your last sentence.

TIA

I would also like some photos, it makes sense though, I would like to see exactly where and how thick of a band you use.

even as sloppy as my work is... I'm vaping like a madman with no juice on my fingers... been going for an hour without adding juice

The idea is that you create a reservoir that the juice collects in as it leaks out. Then when you next draw that juice is drawn right back into the atty.

With a 510 atty the air holes are in the connection, not the side of the tube like a 901. So you place the o-ring (band) just below the connection as I posted above.

PS I modified this procedure; it still works as does the procedure tj talks about which has been around for a while, but I like to focus on what you can do without having to go buy stuff. So, look around your house. Chances are, you'll find an ink pen with a rubber grip somewhere. These can vary in size and quality, of course, but almost any of them will do. Peel off the rubber grip and cut it into slices (creating your own gaskets/seals). This is better than a rubberband because whenever you change attys you have a mess to clean up and one or two gaskets beats a stretched out piece of rubber any day. They are much easier to deal with.

drip sheild for 901 will fix this issue watch the youtube video on the empiremods.com site in the category of drip sheilds

I tried the rubber band method and it worked ok, but then I went out and got some #6 o-rings from my local hardware store they work even better. I think this is the most effective solution, other than of course getting a drip shield, but I did not want to spend that much on a solution.

enVmyIX, that's the basic principle of a drip shield, just without the casing which is why it works.

Agreed. $13 just ain't coming out of my wallet for that. I do just fine with homemade gaskets now (although I'm using the atty less and less as the cartos grow on me, so may not need any gaskets/seals at all, soon).

Leakage problem is widely existing in reusable atomizers , no matter it is 510 or 901 , it is not because of the model , the only reason is the inside structure of the atomizer .

Get yourself a drip shield. It will catch the juice and allow you to drip to your hearts content.

So how much does the metal shield increase the diameter of the 901 atty?
