Looking for mod with native 801

[Sewknitty]

Looking for a mod with an 801 connector and found more vendors than I expected.


ElectronicStix - Mako, The Don
Puresmoker - Icon, Prodigy
AtmosUSA - The Copper (all)
Notcigs - The Buzz only (not the Infinity)
LiteCigUsa - SparkPlug or Thermo

Are these the only ones currently available? (I didn't include the Chameleon because it's not available right now.)

Im using the prodigy V3.1 from PureSmoker. Love it it fires everytime and there shipping is super fast I live in NC and they're from TN so that might be why its a lil faster then I expected.

GLV series and new woodvil REO thats coming out have 801 connections. I'll edit my post if I find more

The new Chameleon is in production and should be avaliable relatively soon.
It has some very intresting features that I have never seen on a mod before and of course the 801 connection.
Keep your eye out!

I think the Buzz would be your best bet, you not only get VV but with the native 801 top cap it has a small well on the top cap and when using say the Mini 2ohm 801 like I do when dripping any juice that runs through the Atty sits on the top cap and in the small well, it also gets sucked right back up into the Atty when you take a pull. I wished the Provari had an available native 801 top cap option, I've been saying they should keep the top cap they have on it with the native 510 threads but make the outside of the 510 connector have 801 threads as well as drilling a hole through to the center on either side so the liquid runs back to the center pin, anyway Buzz W/801 would be a super choice

Wow! Thank you all. It seems there are even more than I'd thought of.

GLV - Jay and Sara would be a pleasure to do business with
GG - now carried exclusively by COV and we all know Bruce's level of customer service
Chameleon - I live in hope Ikenvape can solve for ongoing stock issues because I'd love one
Buzz - another great vendor but I seem to remember reading the switch on the Buzz isn't sealed and juice can get in - is that true?
Reo Woody - if I can get my hands on one...

Just a clarification... the Leo does NOT have an 801 connection... it has it's own Atty thread version, but it does use 801 Cartridges.

OP......You can add the Indulgence to your list.

oops my mistake I'll fix my post

I've decided on a Buzz as a VV backup. No, I don't mind the screwdriver because, based on what I've read, most people set it to their sweet spot and leave it there. Besides, I trust the vendor and like that he designs affordable devices that fit vapers' needs. And, because I love the concept, I'm getting a Chameleon when they come out. Isaac obviously 'gets' atty love so I know his device will be stellar.

Thanks for the input!

I have a Prodigy V3 and a Buzz. I like them both a lot. If I had to pick one, it'd be a tough call, but I'd go with the Prodigy. I love VV, bur the Prodigy is all mechanical. Ni wires or regulators to break. The BE 112 3 Ohm or IKV's 801 3.5 Ohm are awesome at 6V. I haven't tried LR much. 801 LR's are a bit leaky for me. If you're a carto user, go with the Buzz. Few cartos can handle 6V. 4.5-5V is perfect.

I have all but given up on mechanical mods! At first, it seemed intuitive that no wires, solder and electronics would mean more reliable and repairable... I've found them to be less reliable. When I had a protoge' I spend a fair amount of time cleaning the switch. I've played with the Prodigy... the first time I hit the button, it gave a weak hit... the switch needed to be cleaned, so I cleaned it. Others... same problem...

The mechanical switches are really not well designed electrical contacts, and they need a fair amount of attention to keep hitting strong.

On the other hand, high quality electronic mods seem to be more reliable, and certainly more consistant in the critical area of reliability.

Sure, you can fix a mechanical if it stops working properly... I would prefer having a device that doesn't need to be fixed at all. So far, and for me... mechanicals have proven to be far less reliable.

I bought mechanical big battery mods because I knew they'd be rolling my desk frequently but I'm not a tinkerer. If one of them stops working I'm sending it back to the vendor for repair, which is exactly what I'd do with an electronic.

I'm glad I have mechanical mods because they surely do fall and juice has dripped into every crevice without damage but electronic mods take less effort to fire. The Reo is one exception, with its fantastic and ingenious button.
