is there a way to modify my four hole 801 atomizer?

[Kendra]

Hi,
My four hole atomizers don't work as well on the mini pipe as the two hole atomizers. I thought it was just me, but someone else said the same thing. What am I trying to "match up" when I connect the atomizer to the battery section? I realize this is not a matter of filling up two of the holes. Or, maybe it is, I don't really know.

Is there anything I can do to make my 4 hole one work like a two hole one? The janty atomizer I have is a two hole one and it works great. Every other 801 atomizer I have (and more on the way that are probably four hole) doesn't work as well at all. And, they don't even work on my KB even though I don't care about that-- I bought them to work on the pipe.

So, is there anything I can do? Thanks in advance.

I don't understand what you are saying.

The atomizer that comes with the mini pipe is made for that pipe.

Mine works just great, great vapor, easy draw.
I own 3 of the pipes, no problems what so ever.
I think you have a faulty atomizer.

No, I don't think so. I have four that act identically. But, I do have a two hole Janty atomizer that works great-- smooth, easy draw. These atomizers that came with the pipe have a really difficult draw, although it's better today than it was yesterday.

So, that's my question-- someone else on a thread I started about this said that his pipe acts the same way, so I was wondering if there's anyway to make these atomizers work like two hole atomizers. I doubt it, really, but I think I came across a post a couple of weeks ago that talked about this. I'd never find it now, though, so I'm asking just in case.

I have found my 801 atoms do NOT work w/ my mini pipe so I have found a supplier that sells the mini pipe atom I think it is the 888???? would not swear to it

Do NOT screw the atomizer tight to the pipe.
You can really control the amount of vapor by making it tight or leaving it loose.

I keep mine fairly loose and have great vapor.

Kendra--the holes are under the plastic lip that meet the atomizer threading. You need a magnifying glass to see them at the Noon, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock position. You can take a very small amount of calking and place then in two of these holes and let it dry to see if that works. The 4 hole has other design differences that also affect its perfomance, so remember it is not just the holes----Sun

you need to remove the feral from the battery end of the atomizer, the brass or black band. ( If you can get this off your atomizer will work great with the mini-pipe).

Thanks for your replies, everyone. Well, my mini pipe is AMAZING now. I love it. IT's PERFECT.

I didn't need to make it into a two hold atomizer. I had to take the plastic band off. WOW, what a difference. Even when i had it loosely screwed on or just not-so-tightly screwed on, it didn't work, but removing the band DID.

And, I couldn't even remove the band-- I took a needle nosed pliers and tried to remove it, and then I took a really fine wedge and tried to remove it, but it wouldn't budge for me. So, I took the pliers and broke the lip around the screw part which is really two separate pieces held together to act like one piece. I hope that's clear. Once I removed the 'lip' part that holds tightly to the battery section, it worked like a dream. I was concerned the edges might be too sharp, but they aren't really, since they remain flush with the rest of the atomizer. So, even when I run my finger on it, it's fine. I wouldn't do that if the atomizer wasn't screwed on, but once it's screwed on, it's not too sharp at all.

If someone knows a way to pop off the whole piece, that would be great. But, this is working perfectly.

We should start a whole thread with mini pipe tips and sticky it. But, I don't have any tips-- I just keep asking for them!

Thanks!

Say cosican, where can I get that 888? atomizer for the mini pipe?
