Best 801 Atty's to get? (And a warning about RuyanDirect's 801 atty's)

[Ultimist]

I bought 5 801 atty's from RuyanDirect last month, to use with my Prodigy. The first 2 died within the very first week of usage. The other 3 died a few weeks later.

That's FIVE 801 atty's cooked in a bit less than a month. They were the stainless steel ones for $5.50 apiece from RuyanDirect.

Where can I get more reliable 801 atty's? Are the BE112 (801) atty's from BestEcig any better?

I need to find some reliable atty's somewhere. I can't afford to be blowing atiomizers all the time.

Are the BE112 (801) atty's from BestEcig any better?

Many reports, including mine, say yes.

I had 7 atty's die last week.
I sent them to Sattec.
Some were janty and some were best-ecig and some pure smoker.

I'm looking at another 6 this morning.
I'm mainly using the prodigy PT on 5~6 volts.

Also i do not understand why some atty's immediately GLOW and nice orange color inside and give great vapor....and some do not glow and give a mild sizzle.

Im sooooooooo confused about 801 atty's.

How many atty's are you guys getting after a few days of usage that read 0.00 ohms ?

I have had nothing but bad luck with the Bestecig BE112 attys, in all truth. I tested 3 of them last week with my VP1, and I found them to flood incredibly easy and have a really tight draw. I ended up selling 15 of them here in the forum so that I could try 801s from other sources.

Just thought I'd add this here for consideration.

 

[quovadis]

I think they work ok on higher voltages. Although they have a short life.
They do flood with lower voltages. For example used with the JS they are pathetic.

You may want to try the TW ones.
I just received a pack of 5, and they seem to glow bright orange and work perfectly with the Prodigy PT.

It is true that now we have the best vaping tool ever, the atty's are becoming a nightmare to keep up with.
Mine just seem to read 0.00 ohms after a few days of use.

Have not had problems with the 510 atty's though.

Well there are some who believe "there is not a single way an atomizer can be killed that DOES NOT INVOLVE USER ERROR".

No atomizer died on me since September. they decline in time but not burned.
Every 2-3 weeks I change atomizer for best performance. for $5-6 it worth it.

 

[quovadis]

I wonder what user error could be?
Too much juice?
Not enough ?
We are all using the same PT ?
Could be the power pack?

if it is dead , It looks to me like too much power/no juice.
Dead atomizer is an atomizer that is cold, and doesn't work at all.

I like 801's and BE112's. The BE112's seem to burn hotter. If you are using any penstyle atty on a high-voltage vaping device (HVVD), you run the risk of killing it. If you drip and vape heavily or vape heavily over short periods of time, you can easily kill an atomizer. I have been dripping and vaping heavily for several months and still kill atomizers. If you can eat four or five potato chips from a bag and walk away from the bag for 10 minutes, your atomizers will be fine. If you are like me and devour the whole bag of chips, your atomizers will have a very short life cycle.

The biggest culprit for atomizer deaths for me, as far as I can tell, is dripping on a heating coil that is not yet cool and/or overheating the heating coil too often. This stress will kill an atomizer, no question. If you can live with 20-30 draws off a hig-voltage vaping device in the course of an hour, you should be ok. I may hit my Super-T1 60-70 times in an hour while in front of a computer. I am certainly stressing the heck out of my atomizers.

I've bought back plenty of atty's I thought were dead. I'm setting up to do a large scale test and evail on a large number of atty's to finally resolve some issues and form a plan of action to extend the life of the 801 atty. It's not to late to help me out and yourself, DON'T THROW YOUR DEAD ATTY'S AWAY...SEND THEM TO ME. I'm very close to a solution that will clean the gunk off ANYBODY'S atty's, it's all natural and safe to drink.

 

[Techno]

it's all natural and safe to drink.

Yeah, but how does it taste?

 

[sattec]

The plan is to use the cleaner to clean the atty, not drink it. Safe to drink might be a plus for vaper's with small kids in the house or if you accidently get some in your mouth.

One way I've killed a few is dripping while the coil is still hot. The thermal shock kills them IMO. If you drip, allow it to cool down before adding more liquid.

I've seen Breakfastchef has mentioned the same thing. No question this will kill atomisers.

I'm sure I'm doing the same thing. I do tend to chain-vape.

 

[Big Texas]

I think I tend to get them to hot by vapeing to much at one time. I keep enough liquid in the cart but vape so heavy they get hot and this seems to not kill them but shorten their life.

801 atomizer.

I never leave my Prodigy standing upright anymore. The liquid pools around the atomizer's holes, creating a hard draw. This also leaves the wick too dry. I was hitting the atty too long, trying to get the pooled liquid back up to the coil for a decent vapor.
I tried the "sucking hard with out the switch on method", but that plain sucked, and grew old real fast.

Now when I'm not using it, or in between vapes, I leave it lying flat, or laying at a slight angle (with the tip downward), the wick absorbs the liquid very well. I get a little in the mouth piece, but usually rinse it out once a day.

Now I rarely drip more than 2 drops at a time, and never drip more than three.

This method is working well. The wick always stays moist, and my atomizer is finally lasting. Not to mention, the air holes stay open, so the draw is always easy.

I use the SLB801 atomizers from RMV. Seven bucks a "pop'. I like the performance of the SLB's.
.......................................................................................................................

I only used 901 atomizers before, this is my 3rd week with the 801.
Sold my 901 adapter and atty's. It did not compare to the 801 on performance.

 

[vaportiger]

The 801 from Rdirect do not work well at all. I order some from eastmall and they are great. I do not think the are real 801 they look like 4072s. The mesh is flat not pointed like the 801 from Rdirect. I foung the 901 from Rdirect last longer then the ones from eastmall though.

Hi, This is my experience with the Prodigy:

when I first got my Prodigy I killed a few attys too. Mine were all user error (except when my switch stuck). I quickly learned to only hold the button down for 4 or 5 seconds. That is long enough for a super hit. Also, after I hit it a few times, I put it down and let it cool before adding more juice. Add a couple of drops, hit it a couple of times, add more juice (if needed,) repeat. Works for me. If you get a burned taste, stop! It is thirsty

If my atty starts drawing hard or is not firing hot, I hold it over the sink and give it a couple shots of canned air, wipe it off and it works good as new. If an atty seems gunked up, I fill it half full of 100 proof vodka, with my fingers over both ends I shake it a few times. blow it out with air and it it is good to go again.

I have to hold the button down for quite awhile to get the atty to glow, seems like that would be really hard on them. Most attys are not built for 5v. so IMHO it is best to baby them! Think gentle!!

How many holes does the bestecig att have? The site does not say.
