Drip shields on 510 attys?

[rj1]

I was wondering if theres any benefits to using drip shields on 510 atomizers? Besides the fact that they look really cool! I know that empiremods sells adapters so you can use them on 510's but are they functional... Cause i do have some 510 attys that leak... So im wondering if they'll help me out?

It helps users who drip so that if you over drip it holds the excess juice that would have otherwise leaked out so it can then be drawn back into the atomizer to be re-vaporized. You have to make sure there is room on you e-cig so that the drip shield will fit correctly or you would have to buy an adapter. The drip shield needs to slide down far enough so that the bottom O-Ring inside the drip shield is past the vent holes between the atomizer and your battery. The adapter requirement is more common when using a drip shield on a mod.

Here is the information that is available on their web site about the drip shield.

Features

•INFORMATION

While originally designed for the 901 atomizer and The Empire PV MOD, the Drip Shield will also work with 510 and even (306 with delrin drip tip) atomizers as well. Using a Separately sold thread adapter (510-901 or 901-510 for example), you simply slide the Drip Shield over the atomizer until it covers the connection between atomizer and adapter and that's it. On a device/accessory where the connection between atomizer and battery is of the same diameter, an adapter may not be necessary. Empiremods also carries a (510-901-901-510) bridged adapter which is basically a 510-901 and then a 901-510 adapter connected together. This adapter gives it the height and clearance it needs to work effectively on most all 510 native device connections.

BENEFITS USING DRIP SHIELD

Prevents the 901 atomizers from leaking. Also works with 510 & (306 with delrin fitted drip tip) and proper adapter.

Works as a heat sink. By drawing fresh air in through the two tiny holes located at the top of the shield, use of the drip shield will keep your atomizer cool which results in the prolonged life of atomizers.

Tighter draw. The two tiny holes in the top of the drip shield also serve to give a tighter draw, giving you a nice, smooth and less-airy pull with more vapor production!

Our Aim is for everyone to be able to use the Drip Shield as successfully as it has been used prior to launch here at EmpireMods.com As such we will give as much info/instructions as possible to ensure customer and vaping satisfaction.

INSTRUCTIONS

When you first get your Drip Shields it is best to wash off any access polish, metal or dust from shipping ect. This is done here before going out but as with drip tips, it's always best to clean them yourself after receiving and before first using them. Make sure you dry them completely. When replacing the Drip Shield, ensure that the atomizer and shield are completely dry before sliding back over your atomizer. This ensures the 2 o-rings inside form a very good seal and will not move unless you purposely wish it to.

(If the Drip Shield is not going on smoothly to atomizer and seems too tight, add a drop of your e-liquid to the o-rings inside Drip Shield and slide on with ease.)

(If you find the default draw via the two holes on your drip shield are not to your personal preference, you can adjust them very easily. Simply use a pin, like that of a safety pin, push into one of the holes and gently move the pin around to widen the hole a little. Try the draw and if still not to your liking, do the same with the second hole, then further enlarge each one to your personal preference if needed.)

When using a 901 atomizer you need to simply slide Drip Shield over atomizer already attached to your PV device, making sure that 2 tiny laser holes on Drip Shield are on the top part of atomizer towards the mouthpiece, drip your favorite E-Liquid/Juice of choice into your atomizer & Vape away!

*Using Empire Drip Shield On 510 or 306 (delrin drip tip fitted) Atomizers.

The Empire Drip Shields were built to stop the leaking of 901 atomizers, but with use of separately sold thread adapters, they can work for 510 or (306 with delrin drip tip fitted) atomizers. The key to make this work is the adapters let the liquid travel into the Drip Shields through the 4 tiny vent cuts where adapter meets bottom of atomizer and liquids are then collected. The separately sold (510-901-901-510) Bridged adapter we sell will make it work for 510/306 on most all devices as well. On a device/accessory where the connection between atomizer and battery is of the same diameter, an adapter may not be necessary.

Maintenance of your drip shield is as simple as cleaning it, soap & water and tissue to dry. We recommend cleaning 1-2 times a week or if Drip Shield is loaded with juice. A dry pull without activating your PV can draw any excess juice which has collected in the Drip Shield or bottom of the atomizer back up and into it, resulting in less waste of juice. Simple maintenance will help you get the most out of your atomizers and Drip Shields!

Hey, those are cool. Though I'm having trouble visualizing what it looks like actually installed. It just fits over the atty?

 

[PKZap27]

Yes, It slides right over the atomizer.

Here is a picture of one on a ProVari, which is a MOD.

Its not my ProVari or picture. It came from the following link.

Wow i really like the black provari! looks good with the drip shield too!! Do you personally use the drip shield with a 510 atty??

 

[***Shannon***]

Would one of these work with a RIVA?

I couldn't get my 510 atty to fire on my Provari with the drip shield adapter

I purchased three drip shields the last time they became available, however I haven't even tried one yet. When I was dripping I wanted one really bad because I hated that juice leaked all over the place if you over dripped. I ended up buying them anyway so I could check them out and if I ever went back to dripping I would have them to use. I can always just sell them in the classified section of the ECF in the future if I decide I don't want them any longer.

Currently I'm using a black ProVari with my Hybrid Tank MOD using a MAP Tank & GP-SSR. It is listed in my signature. The Hybrid MAP tank MOD thread is in the Modder’s section of the ECF. There are pictures of my Hybrid tank MOD on my ProVari in a post located in the link above the picture of my previous post. I'm so glad I went from dripping to a tank setup. It has freed me from being a slave to my PV.

I should have my fifth PV, which is a black REO mini soon, as I was able to get an order in for one during his last sale. I've been waiting for a REO for more than 3.5 months. It doesn't take that long to get one, I mean they do sell out quickly, however I wanted one in the color I liked. I had to have the extra funds available at the time of his sale. I’ve been spending so much of my extra funds on so much e-cig stuff it was hard to have the right amount of my extra cash available at the right time.

If you look at the center section of the adapter there is a slot in one end, screw the adapter on a battery and take a small screw driver and turn the screw out counter clockwise so it will then come in contact with the center pin on the ProVari.

I don't know, I don't own a RIVA.

However, I do have an eGo and it will work on that. I belive they are the same.

You just have to make sure the lower O-Ring inside the drip shield will slide down far enough so it is below the vent holes were the battery and atomizer meet when screwed together.

Again, the adapter allows for more room to slide drip shield further down past the vent holes and is mostly needed when using the drip shield on a MOD.

Wow smknomor! I hope i dont have that problem with the adapter cause i just ordered a drip shield and a adapter from empiremods... Wish me luck! lol.

I suppose I can just purchase a shield and adapter and just try it. I did get your PM....thanks for letting me know!!! Thanks for your reply to my question as well!!!

Edit: I just went to the site and am not sure which adapter it is that I should get ???

 

[rj1]

As far as i know they should fit the riva! You mad need to get an adapter for it? Unless you use a 901 atomizer...

I do not...I use a 510 atty. I am not sure which adapter I would need for the drip shield to work for me.

 

[PKZap27]

Ok I'm back now!

This is a 510 battery extender used to charge eGo's on normal 510 charger.

It is listed in the drop down menu as an "510-to-510 extension" in the following link.

Rob from GoodProphets.com sells all his adapters for only $0.99.

PV Adapters

....................................................................................................

A 510 Modder's connection can also be used. You may be able to get away without using the ring that is on the left of the adapter in the below photo.

Available from MadVapes and they call it a Shorty 510 Extension and Connector

The adapter from MadVapes is the one I would recommend. The other one I feel is to long.


I feel that drip shield will work without the adapter on your RIVA.

 

[PKZap27]

The Bridged (510-901-901-510) Connector that is available from EmpireMods is two pieces and would be as long as the 510 Battery extender shown in my previos post.

 

[Cranston McCloud]

I really like how these can "pretty" up a device.
I have a friend that is notorious for flooding his atties.
Will point him in the right direction.

 

[PKZap27]

The end of the RIVA has that section that sticks out about a 1/4 of an inch that is the same diameter as a 510 atomizer. This 1/4 is more then enough room for the Drip Shield to slide past the vent holes.

 

[SMKNOMOR]

If you look at the center section of the adapter there is a slot in one end, screw the adapter on a battery and take a small screw driver and turn the screw out counter clockwise so it will then come in contact with the center pin on the ProVari.

Thanks for the PM.I tried your suggestion and unfortunately its still not firing.

I put the pin down pretty far as you can see here:

The problem is it only threads a tiny bit onto my Provari as you can see by how far it sticks up here:

It sure looks good though:

I do have 901's with a stealth adapter so its not like the drip shields aren't getting any Use. I love the draw it provides.Perfect!

That gives me an idea....maybe I'll try the stealth adapter with the top piece of the bridged adapter from Empire.I'll report back later.......
