Does the 7's Hybrid Battery have ego threads?

[Christopher Horsley]

Amazing.... total proprietary doesn't get it anymore. When googling the 7's one only gets their own sites - not good. No one else is using it!..... and now we know why. What gets me is that for the most part the total proprietary ecigs are usually way higher in price than any eGo or knockoff - same for the cig style size... KR8 started that way and grew a following but with the advent of eGo size and standard - adapters are needed for almost any popular clearo or tank/carto now and the proprietary promotional stuff is how SO much better they are.... sigh...

Maybe they thought since it works so well for apple it'll work for them. Though.. with apple it's the marketing and product placement that sells their products. My7's just doesn't have that. I don't remember exactly how I originally ended up deciding on a 7's, but i think it was primarily because of the auto batteries though i now prefer manual..

as far as the kangers go, superhands, they really don't leak externally at ALL. the only leaks that occur (in my experience) is a bit of flooding in the center tube. Whenever i notice the draw getting a bit tight i just sling out the excess with a quick flick of my wrist. does the trick every time. I've never had it leak in my pocket or on the table or anything.

Out of frustration, impatience, and despicable cheapness, I've MacGyver'd my way to a solution to this problem. In a final hail-Mary attempt to get this working without spending any more money, I shaved down the threads on the 4081-510 adapter with a nail file until it pressfit into the center connector on the 7's battery, then wrapped the connection with a strip of aluminum foil tape. It may not look the best, but it works, and I finally have a 510 connector on my battery! No more holding the battery and carto together in order to vape! Obsessive frugality, it seems, is the mother of ingenuity.



It may not be indestructible, but the foil tape actually does hold it very securely. What matters is that I've finally stuck it to those jerks at my7's. Bam!

Edit: I'll probably still end up ordering a T3, but this will work for now.

I came across your post earlier this week.

Had a similar endeavor here recently, had a friend at work wanted to try one of his cartomizer flavors at ~4v to see if it tasted any different. Smugly I went to the glove box and pulled out my newly finished ever cool box... And immediately tried to fit his no.7 cartomizer on it.

After about 30 seconds of fiddling with it I told him let me see what I can do. He gave me a spent cart to see if I could find n adapter...

Nope none at any of the over priced tobacco shops in town. So I went to the gas station and had the attendant get me a few of the disposables they had. And yay they had one that had a similar thread. (Tbh might have even been an no.7 disposable.).

Ended up dismantling a 510 atty that was long since dead, and the battery from the disposable cigalike.

That's what I came up with, a bit inverted from what you need as I was going from no7 cart to 510 battery, but it can easily be done the other way.

So for your solution, 1dead carto gutted, and a cheap 510 battery connector (madvapes I think has them, or a cheap 510 battery from fasttech)

Wired up center pin to center pin and threads to threads, and bobs your uncle...

Alright, good info there. That one refers to the "Choice 7's kit", which was basically their little stick batteries to be used with their nasty prefilled cartos. Vapegrl reviewed their stick battery kit, in which she said:

"All in all, I believe that the No. 7 e-cigarette is a quality product at a reasonable price. If there’s any knock against it — and it’s a rather large one — it’s the fact that the RN4081 threading on the battery isn’t particularly common"

The inner threads on my battery also fit those little cartos, meaning that they're RN4081. So one thing I know I can definitely do is get a RN4081 to 510 adapter and use 510 cartos. So that's at least one connection that I can verify corresponds to a real standard.

However, I'd still like to know what those outer threads are. They look a lot like the outer threads I've seen on eGo batteries, but madstabber seems to think that they're proprietary on the my7s hybrid battery. I certainly can't find cartomizers anywhere that have threads to fit the outside threads on a battery like mine. Everything I see that's called an "eGo" carto has either 510 or 808 inside threads, no outside threads. I'm getting confused, not sure what eGo threads actually are anymore.

So, what we've established so far:
7's Hybrid Battery:
Inside threads: RN4081
Outside threads: eGo?

Thanks for your help so far. Right now, it looks like my best option is to get a RN4081-510 adapter, as it will allow me a huge abundance of inexpensive 510 cartos to choose from.

I actually read vapegrl's review of 7's where she states that its a RN4081 thread so I ordered a few cartos from 7's and bought a RN4081-510 adapter. It is most definitely NOT a RN4081 thread. I took one for the team, I just don't want people spending their money on things that aren't true. Hope this helps!

P.S. I still have the cartos around, I gave up trying to figure out what they are. I totally tried to Mcgyver them with some duct tape to my 510 battery, hahahaha DONT LAUGH! because I really wanted to see what the flavor was like on the tobacco, and if all the hype was real. My Opinion: ehh, they're okay, not worth the money, or the incompatibility with everything else
