I have a whole bunch of Kr808d1 cartomizers so I ordered a 510->808 adapter. Does anybody know how 808 cartos affect battery life on the eGo? Is it similar to LR attys?

I'm using the 510> 808 adapters with my eGo and have adjusted them for more airflow. I mean a LOT MORE airflow. The 808 carto screws on one and a quarter turn.
Will this adapter adjustment have any effect on the batteries?
Thank you,
N.

One thing I've noticed, there is a sweet spot for mine to even work. If the adjustment is wrong, my button just blinks four times and doesn't fire. If I go the other direction, the carto doesn't make a connection and doesn't fire. Each cart has a narrow window for actually working, so I can't really play with the airflow all that much.
I would assume airflow adjustment shouldn't affect battery life.

Thank you for responding. Sometimes I have to readjust for a certain carto, but for the most part I leave it where the center is flush with the, I don't know what to call it, the... outer ring. Of course taking off the cone, or using a Riva cone, changes everything!
BTW, I always check the seal on the adapter every time I take it off. I watched a video on adapter safety here.
I have to presume you are hitting the protection circuit of the battery. Something is not kosher with your adapter,
I just watched a video by Doctor Vapor over at VapeTV:

I logged in here to pass on the same basic info from the Smokey video posted above. Now, after reading the two replies from Switched and Natalia, I've got a new outlook on things.
Switched, I think you're right. I'm gonna be really cautious about using my adapter. I've noticed that one of my eGo batteries doesn't discharge completely before it blinks the "dead battery" light. When I use an atty and it gets low, it allows a piddly little puff and then blinks four times. I'm wondering if I damaged the connection post somehow, or as you mentioned, the protection circuit was hit in a weird way and now I'm paying for it.

I don't think you damaged the post on your batt perse. Having used the batt connector in two of my mods, the positive post on the battery is solid (good design). If something is going to give it is with the atty (good thing). Many adapters are the culprit of many things and the most common is shorts. The protection circuit on the battery is sensing this, and shutting down (4 blinks) preventing the battery from shorting out. However, if the protection circuit fails, the battery will fail.
Thanks for the link on the video. I had seen it and couldn't find it anywhere. UIt wa done in the day where he was posting to youtube and VapeTV.
Take you adapter and place it on your desk. Press the center post down so it is flush with the outer threads, it should then rest against your desk. Now the 510 side of the adapter is set. You will notice a slot on the positive post of the 801 side of the adapter, that is adjustable. Unscrew the centre post clockwise until the distance below the outter threads is about 1mm, that adjustment is now set. Place adapter on carto until it starts to feel snug, then fit to your device, only tightening until it starts to feel snug.
If your battery operates fine with other atties and only acts up with your cartos, then chances are the adapter is the culprit. FWIW, after you are finished your KR8 cartos, but some 510 cartos, they are much much better IMHO.
