Another 801 bites it! What am I doing wrong?

[Sir_Lawrence]

I have a silver bullet... I like using 6v. I've keep my atty moist all the time... let it cool down before another drag... made sure it is kept clean... and still they stopped working. That's 2 in 2 days. Now, I have no more to use until my order comes in.

Should I try using a resistor disk like in one post...
Homemade Resistor Disc - Or How to Make Any 6v/7.2v mod into ~5v Modularly

I don't know what to do. I know I enjoy the 801, and I'm told that will hold up to 6v, but mine haven't. I just can't afford too many more. I don't want to try the HV atty because it reduces it by 2v.

Please Help! Thank you

Can the silver bullet run 2x cr123s? HV atomizers run perfectly at 7.4v, but they do run well at 6v as well, so it'd be worth a shot either way - they don't 'drop by 2v', thats just the easiest way to explain it without going into some really technical stuff.

You can get HV atomizers made for 6v as well, you'll want around 4.3-4.6ohms resistance, eastmall claims that theirs are at this level, but I've gotten reports from people that claim otherwise, so ymmv.
