Another "It had to happen"

[my2heartboys]

OK, I was curious about the HV 801 so I bought it. Managed to get juice into one battery and probably shorted it out. Well, now it has happened to the other one. Now I am in the process of trying to pull all of the juice out of it and see if I can recover it or if it is totally hopeless.

Can't wait to get a higher voltage manual battery...hypnotic mist just won't taste the same in an eCo with LR atomizer.

If you want an HV mod on the cheap you might consider these 3xAA 5 Volt Boxmod. For around $50 for the mod, batt's, and a charger you can be vaping HV again. And the batteries are only like $4.29 each and won't get ruined by juice.

I believe that the 801 was a 6 volt model. Besides, don't have the 50 bucks right now.

Sorry, I fell into the trap of recommending new gear when that advice wasn't asked for. Actually the DSE 801 High Power is a 7.4 v device if this link is correct. As for resurrecting your batt's, I've read a couple of threads on getting juice out of an auto batt so you might want to do a search to find them.

I **may** have managed to do it on my own....don't know yet as only time will tell. I wound up using modified qtips and paper towels twisted into sharp points along with good old fashioned lung power trying to suck the liquid out. At this point, I am not going to squabble over volts....that is not what my original post was about anyway.

No apology necessary, though.

Anyway, the lights on them quit flashing and then I stuck them on the charger. Apparently they are charged as the light turned green. Unfortunately, I am now waiting for the attys to dry.

BTW--my one experience with automatics...and I still don't like them.
