I think its called a drip shield looking for something to protect my atty on a ProVari. I'm also thinking of trying the longer HH357 as well. I want something very nice!
Drip Shield for ProVari

Is there a particular drip shield for the ProVari or does it matter at all. I don't see any threads on the ProVari that why I'm don't have a clue what works and what doesn't.
a drip shield on a 510 is decorative, won't keep juice from leaking if you over drip, any 901 drip shield will fit a standard 35 mm atty
It doesn't matter. I guess it would be nice if there was one especially made for a Provari, in that it might look snazzier. But, I am not aware of any. The ones from Empire Mods do work though.
What is not true? 510 atomizers leak from the bottom, a drip shield won't prevent that. A 901 atty has the airhole in the side of the atty, if you over drip a 901 it comes out that side airhole, the drip shield catches it.
you can see the hole in the 901 here...the drip shield catches overflow from that hole

Are you looking for something to dress up the Provari or just something to catch leaks from an atomizer? There's a recessed lip that catches anything that comes out of the bottom when filling. My Vivi Nova creates a finished look where it meets the Provari top.
Think of the atomizer as a wood barrel. if the bung hole is on the side then you can place something around the barrel to catch the drips. However is the hole is on the bottom of the barrel then wrapping the side of the barrel isn't going to help...
You are getting leaks because you are over dripping. Try adding less juice when you drip, 2-3 drops is about it.

You may be adding them too often then. There is a learning curve but once you get use to dripping it is great. After a year I will still occasionally over drip.
I definitely know if I didn't add enough drops!
The learning curve should come with a book for dummies.
BTW
What do you set your Voltage at on a 1.5 Ohm

With an Ikenvape 1.8 306 on a Saber passthrough I have it set at 5 volts, with the Joytech 510 2.3 I am running a Kick at about 8.5 watts. I think you just start low and turn it up till it tastes good to you.
HH357 attys do not leak...no drip sheild needed....
Long barrels are the best.....for you Provari buy the 3.0 ohm HH357
That is why in their instructions (which I cut-and-pasted to show you earlier) they tell you to use an adapter if you have a 510 atomizer. It lifts the atomizer up.
And I REPEAT...

I am using one right now, so I darn well know that they work. You seriously shouldn't be telling people things that you have not investigated and thereby giving them false information.

On a 510 atomizer they don't do anything...period.
If you want to use an adapter, making it longer and dropping your power because of the added connections and the o-ring is below the bottom of the atty on the adapter and the adapter has a sealed bottom connector then yes it will help. But without all that it will not help on a 510 atomizer. Read what I said before accusing me of giving false information.
I just put a meter on three adapters...they average 1.1 ohms of resistance so there would be a drop in power to the atty.

The above is a false statement.
And here, you admit that it will work.
I did read what you said. That is the issue.
Oh, so now, you aren't arguing that the drip shields won't work, but that using an adapter will cause a drop in power.
Seriously, the jig is up. You were wrong. Just admit it. It happens.
Bottom line, drip shields work great with 510 atomizers.

I agree horselady, lol. Especially if you use a closed adapter to ensure no leaks will penetrate down to the contact pin. I have been using HH357 long barrels for a long time on my provari and leaking can and will occur though, in my experience, typically not for a few weeks or so.
Also, I must disagree with the post stating that the 3.0 ohm long barrel is best, lol. First, if we're talking about the Provari/vv, then the resistance of the atty really doesn't matter since the voltage is adjustable. I believe that the only difference in having varying resistance atties is how hard it works and ultimately drains batteries in that the higher the resistance on an atty the higher volts will be required to fire hard and thus the quicker your battery drains. It is for that reason that I prefer low-res atties because it means I have to change out batteries much less often.
Also, Kir Fanis has a nice provari specific dripshield which is made for a 306 but I'm tempted to try it on the long-barrel 357 even though it would create somewhat of a gap between it and the tip where the atty is exposed.
