ahh....I know if you adjust it the center posts on both ends will move outward...the slots are in the battery itself and ...adjusting it the adapter ends up not sitting flush....but you don't need airholes in the 510 side of the adapter...there should be a couple of airholes in the 909/808 side of the adapter...so with those airholes, the slot in the adapter, the slots on the carto you should get a ton of airflow...

yes there are holes on the 808 side and im using the adapter right. still no air flow. i know there are slots on the battery, but what good do they do for air flow if there is no holes on the 510 side?
Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I know when I tried to use the 510 cartos (and 808s, if I remember correctly), I was getting little to no airflow through the cone. I found the reason was the cone was too tight to the edges of the carto. What I did, instead of altering the cone, is simply took the outer paper off of the carto, and it slimmed down the carto just enough for airflow to go through. Others have taken a reamer to their cones to widen up the opening a bit (or a grinder to grind down the top opening, making it wider). I don't know if you are using the cone or not, so this may not be the case for you...I hope you can figure this out.
no cone. it is without any doubt whatsoever a design flaw in the particular adapter that i have.
yeah it'd have to be the adapter....
the slots on the battery are there for the 510.... when you put the adapter on the airflow is via the airholes in the 901 side and it's slot and the slots on the cartos themselves...
I know that sometimes the insulating silicone in the adapter can go all wonky and block the airholes...*shrug*....I just know that it works on the adapter I got from madvapes and the turbo cartos I've got...and I get tons of vapor from it...funnily more so when I put the cone back on too...
was just sharing what I did.....
hope you find an answer and something that works
Funny thing is I am 100% the opposite. I am not sure what could be wrong. You do get the occasional atty that just doesn't produce well or taste right but that's maybe 1 out of every 10 for me. I dont use an ego myself but I vape a 510 mod at 5 volts (prodigy V1). I have a KR808D-1 kit and have tried all 3 carto styles that V4L sells. Pre filled and blanks and not a single one of them has ever had much flavor or produced very good vapor nor have they lasted more than a couple minutes before they needed to be refilled.
I guess my question is have you tried another atty? Tried cleaning that atty?
I'm guesing that the eGo USB manual battery/PT is not a 5volt device like the KR8 PT. So another factor on bad taste (primer having been eliminated with at least one poster) is that some 510 atomizers (usually SLB attys) don't have the base of the metal mesh which tends to keep the coil moist and not drying out. And they can put off a nasty taste (sometimes worse than the primer/shipping fluid). Joye attys have the metal mesh and unless there is some crud build up, almost never give off that taste. The best taste is using a regular joye 510 clean atty with good juice. That isn't the best vapor production though. The Joye LR attys and the PRovapes LR cartoz 1.6-1.7 ohm produce the best vapor.
Someone was asking about the mega eGo attys and cartoz. The ones I have - from cignot and heaven gifts - the attys measure 2.1-2.2 ohms and the mega eGo cartoz range from 2.3-2.5 ohms. Scottbee has gotten similar readings. The attys seems to produce the best vapor between the two and are easier to refill. Both have lasted me 5 hours. 2.5ml of juice in each. I vape VG Decadent Vapours flavors, DIY'ed, and they tend to be more flavorful like HV ejuices and doublers.

Just an update folks. I just do not like my ego unfortunately. I'm not a fan of dripping. I can't stand the 510 attys (Standard or LR). The burnt taste happens way too often for me to tolerate. So I'll either just keep it around for the days I feel a little fidgety or end up trading it for something else. I have tried using it with my Turbo cartos but because they are HR the performance lags. I haven't tried the ego with a standard 808 carto though - maybe that could be an improvement.
I will say I am amazed at the different tastes when it comes to e-cigs. Kind of like Chevy vs Ford. At least I have satisfied my curiosity on the ego (specifically 510 attys).

If you love your KR8 PT, chances are running 808-1 cartoz through an eGo won't give you much. There is the 'Elegant' that is the same shape and batt time as the eGo that is fitted for the KR8 connection, if you don't mind the eGo shape, size, etc. PM me if you want to dump the eGo PT ;-) I think we've waited long enough, results are in, etc. lol. But you should try the KR8 carto before just in the case that it might work for you.
I don't know if high voltage is what you're looking for. If the 510 and LRs are too hot you'll want lower wattage, so some atty/carto higher than 2.3-2.5 ohms for a 3.2/3.7v device. Another possible last gasp would be to put a 510 3.0ohm SLB or Boge cartomizer on the eGo.
im with you about dripping. if you still want to use the ego batts, try buying some 510 cartos. they taste good, but the TH is a little weak. im still waiting on some LR510 cartos.
Sooperdrave - It does seem like you and I have the same taste/thoughts on this subject. I'm am very curios what you think about those LR510 cartos?
Thx

yup. dripping is too much of a hassle and a waste of juice.
ill let you know as soon as i get them (LR510 cartos) should be any day now.
I have never found the 501's to be up to scratch. I myself have mods, but my sweet spot is invariably between 4-5 v. I love my 801 because I can TASTE the juice,whereas with a 501 I see plumes of vapor without taste. I prefer a 801 passthrough and invariably the autos, as I also find that the manual button ups the heat which breaks down the taste factor. I know that autos are frowned upon, but all to his own. I prefer taste rather than TH
