Yes. You can find them at MadVapes. The center pin on the adapter is a two-piece, threaded pin. On the 3 I've bought, I've had to unscrew the pin and reverse it. But other than that minor hassle, they work perfectly.
The other question: On 510 auto batteries the vent hole is dead center in the positive post on the battery. Thus, the greater risk of killing a battery from a flooding accident.
Pretty sure Mt. Baker Vapor has 808 to 510 adapters too. Last I looked they had both 510 and eGo adaptes for 808 batteries.

I have a bunch of 510 batteries and older KR808, I was just trying to get an idea on how the air was drawn on the sealed ones.
My plan is to test a ton a cartomizers both 510 and KR808 but wanted to do this on a common platform to make it fair.
I have not had trouble with 510 auto batteries but what I will be doing will be messy so I thought the KR808 battery would make more sense.

I use 808's and I bought a 510 adapter in hopes of using up some 510 thread clearos I had laying around. My 808's are all auto except for one manual, and the adapter wouldn't work at all with the autos 
This bummed me out, I don't like manual batteries and only have the one I have because it came with a kit I bought ages ago.

I haven't tried any of the adapters from Mt. Baker. I've wasted too much money on adapters that don't work properly so I'm leery of trying any other than the ones from MadVapes. There's another vendor who sells the same adapter as MadVapes, but the name escapes me.
The hole on the "sealed" 808's is indeed below the threads, on the side of the center post. The whole sealed title is in error, as these batteries will be ruined by a flooding incident as any unsealed model on the market. I lost 3 of my autos before I learned how to care for them properly due to flooding issues.
This is why 808 cartomizers have a slot through the center thread, so as to allow air to reach the vacuum switch. Which is why 510-808 adapters need to have a slot on the bottom as well. There are also 808-901 adapters which are built the same way.
I have plenty of them now. I understood the need for the hole, I was just not sure if there where many made that I could use. I saw that several people had problems with the adapters. I only needed the adapters to make sure I was doing fair comparisons between several batteries.
