Ok i tried the rn40475 or whatever the cheap 901 atties on LF - omg i cannot get them to work at all. They have a diff cart shape and the bridge is lower, tried drippin it either floods or doesnt wick and no vape.

It's officially DSE901LR atties all the way!


fresh RN4075's are a little tricky to get going. if it gurgles, blow the crap out of it both ways until the gurgle is gone. Give it about 4 drops > hit it > if there's not a lot of vapor > 2 more drops and hit it again. They like to stay moist, but once you get it juiced, just 2 drops as needed. Sometimes you may even think you killed it, but all it needs is juice. Thirsty sucker for the initial juicing!

I like ikenvapes LR 901, but i hate the washer ring in them. Makes it impossible for me to blow them out right.

if anyone makes a bridgeless/wickless 901, i'd be sold. I agree the 901/RN's have the best flavor. I think the RN's are more bullet proof though.

I use KR808D batteries on 901's. I would never buy another DSE battery period. Wasted too much $$ on them in the past 2 years.

Ikenvape's LR 801 is great too. Flavor like a 901.

I had the best luck with the RN4075 myself. Silver was the way to go at the time cause there was no paint that could peel off. And the atties did get hotter. Definitely the way to go for the first time "901" user. Plan on getting one extra battery and one or two extra atties though. And make sure you buy true RN4075 carts cause they aren't the same size as true 901 carts.
HTH,

too true, it took me ages to figure out why no vape was coming out when i first tried them with my cart, then i looked down while holding the button and saw it glowing, realised juice wasnt reaching it!

I'm going to give them another go, well they're just sitting there, i'll follow the 4 drips 2 drips advice and try to get them right.

Side note, the lr901's i find have a perfect vape temp, its just before they run dry, i love getting it right on that balance and a drip here and there just enough to moisten it without getting it wet, i love my drip tip now i've figured this out!

If you like the reliablity of your 510, you might be very disappointed with a 901. I finally concluded that the 901 is for modders. If you are looking for something new and cheap to try, get the Joyetech cartomizers for your 510. I would like to hear from you on how the 510 cartos compare with your KR808.

Dave, why do you feel this way about the 901. I always hated the 510 till I got a VV Ali'i bottom feeder and still would use the 901 if my buzz didnt get beat to death. I cant vape any device at 3.7 I rather smoke ....

Durability vapor and flavor are not touched by a 510 when put up to a 901. TH is another issue but a few volts takes care of that 4.7- 4.9 on the 901 and I am a happy vapor... (sadly takes a toot off his ali'i )

Ok, I have to give a 901 a shot. I've only ever used 510's and 306's (and a couple KR808 cartos). Now that I have my provari I am wanting to explore my options. Is it the 901 that has the same threading as the KR8081-D? I already have a 510 to 808 adapter, would be nice if I can use that with the 901.

The threads 901 / KR808 D-1 are virtually the same... As for adapters to them there is some variety which basically differ in air-intakes...

'Reliability' could definitely depend on subjective impressions, but dripping-wise, for the most part, I would say 901 is far more reliable than a 510, for this last one is more 'moody' and clogging likely...

Well unlike many I'm not in to the heavy vapor. My opinions are based on a rather different perspective.

Ok fair enough. Id think if you dont like heavy Vapor (how I see TH) you would prefer the 901. Guess I need to be in your head to get what you mean. This is vague. Thanks for the reply my man ! I was not calling you out just didnt see where you were going with your posts.

I am a professional logger and hard on my gear... It said it had enough one day : (. Buzz kill will fix it one day I get off my hands and send it to him..
 
How's that for some 901 love? A brand spanking new Empire from EmpireMods.com. This thing is incredible with a LR901. Just picked it up at vapefest. 1 of 25. More details to come.
