Are 901 and 808 batteries the same?

[cassavetes]

Do cartomizers fit the 901?

And now I'm off to drink myself into the new year.

Happy New Years...er, eve. : )

I can't tell you from experience, only research. From what I've gathered, 901 and kr8(the new designation on the forum pronounced "kreight") batts and cartomizers/attys are physically interchangable. However, us 901 users have that little air hole at the front of the atty that the kr8 doesn't have. Thus there's not enough airflow from the 901 into the cartomizer.

I've seen a few fixes written about; grinding a groove through the 901 batt connector (apparently this resembles that of a kr8), the "bent staple" often used for non-connecting batts, Vapor Country and NHaler have adapters to put a cartomizer on a 901 batt connector.

I have ordered some inexpensive 901 manual battery charging extenders. I figure to drill a small air hole as in the atty and I should be good to go. I may try the dremel slot through the connector also.

Thanks for the informative reply, Indy.

That's a great tweak, indyxit! I recently purchased some 901 manual battery adapters for cheap thinking they might work for this purpose as the photo looked like it had an airhole. (And the adapters I could otherwise find were more expensive than a KR8 battery itself.) If they don't, I have a tiny drill on my Dremel to experiment with.

That's great Madam! Let me know how the tweak works!

Hey Madame, I didn't have much luck with the drill. But may just be my skills. I used a punch and it worked great. Vapor Kings has the battery adapter for $1.95 each if anyone wants a cheap source. If you ask for a first-class shipping rate, he may be able to accommodate... but you didn't hear it from me.

To answer your question:

The batteries are not the same.
901 batteries I have do not have holes for the 808K cartomizers to work. No air intake.
808 work on both type of e-cig. To be on the safe side. Purchase 808 batteries instead of 901 of battery.
