LR 801 Shorty

[Switched]

Vlad,

I am not going to argue your successes, that would prove futile and not proper. You have achieved what many can't so by all means kudos to you, and as you know it is meant in all honesty. However, all that being said i will try turning the atty upside down for a few moments to freshen up the bottom so to speak. Wrt laying an atty upside down overnight, there was always indications of liquid flowing out. I found that storing them upright prevented this. We also need to remember that I use carts at a very delicate balance that provides me with a drip like vape. I often find more pleasure in vaping this way anyway. However, VG juices are notorious for flooding attys and causing leakage. That is not my opinion but one that has been experienced by many, especially at high voltage. One thing I forgot to ask. Are you talking both at HV and LV or just at LV, because I do believe their is a difference.

Hmm interesting, I have been using the short 801 now for a few days exclusively,
I havent had the leaking problem at all. but then I dont have that problem often on any atty.
Mine sit upright a lot too. My liquid is 35% vg so quit a high mix.
I have no clue why I really dont have this problem.
I have had a 901 leak once in a great while , not this little 801 though

Vlad,

Thank you. I'm very surprised that more people are not reporting experiencing the same thing I am. Maybe I'm just more OCD and have a luxury of having more available time consistently to experiment with these issues.

However, all that being said i will try turning the atty upside down for a few moments to freshen up the bottom so to speak.

I would advise being careful if using carts regardless of how you mod them. Some juice may may find its way up the air canals of the cart if you turn the PV upside down with the cart attached to the atty, I learned the hard way. It works great if dripping.

Wrt laying an atty upside down overnight, there was always indications of liquid flowing out. I found that storing them upright prevented this.

If there is enough juice in the atty, it will flow out. Finding the napkin dry in the morning only happens if there is enough juice in the atty to keep it primed but not enough to vape. If you want to try it tonight. Don't blow all the juice out of the atty, just give it one quick 1-2 second blow from the cart end leaving 3-4 drops worth of juice in the atty. Wipe it off and leave it upside down overnight. Most likely you will find the surface below dry in the morning.

...However, VG juices are notorious for flooding attys and causing leakage. That is not my opinion but one that has been experienced by many, especially at high voltage.

Agreed. Juice that's too thick doesn't wick properly and fast enough.

One thing I forgot to ask. Are you talking both at HV and LV or just at LV, because I do believe their is a difference.

It depends. In my experience it's easier to flood the atty at 3.7V than at 6V since at HV you are burning more juice quicker and not really letting the atty get the chance to flood. It takes less time to use the same amount of juice at HV vs. LV. However wrt atty leaking while resting, there is no difference between HV and LV since leakage is determined by the amount of juice left in the atty. I do understand your reason for asking this.

One of the reasons why I chose dripping and left carts in the past was leakage. With dripping, I choose how much or how little juice will be left in the atty when I'm not vaping. With carts, juice would leak even with the PV in the horizontal position when left alone for a few minutes, regardless of what cart mod I used. IMHO, cart users will always have some atty leaking issues even if marginal.

Thank you for posting this. I'm happy for you and I'm glad that I don't have to think that I'm the only one. Maybe I'm not crazy afterall,

I really dont know why I dont have a leaking problem though. I just vape until I get the
kinda dry taste before I drip again. Nothing special, dont worry about how I put it down.
Most of the time my Ego stands on its end upright , but sometimes I just lay it down too

I blow the atty out at night and leave it standing upright but it is not leaking juice in the morning , I have no clue here .

WOW so many answers!!!! Thank you all and for all the tips!!! For now I'm back to all cartos. All my attys leak after a period of time so it's not an atty problem, but a user problem I love dripping, especially on the LR 801s, but contantly having sticking fingers when I have to type all day just doesn't work for me.

I do appreciate all the participation, never though one little question could stir so many responses Ya'll are great as always!!


Happy Vaping!!!

Could be the attys as well. I blew a head gasket on one of my 801s last night. I absolutely hate the last batch of 801s I got, and I mean hate in a very very mean way.

During a draw this thing went poof, and I mean poof, causing an instant reaction of swiftly removing my PV from my lips and my head going back. I thought is was a gonner, but no. Anyway I thoroughly blew it out, allowed it to cool and re-primed with 6 drops. The 6 drops leaked through. Blew it out once again, cleaned the inside, and wicked all liquid from the bridge. Primed with 4 drops it leaked out. It is now in the garbage. Those 801s came from HC. When I get back from vacation I'm ordering BE112s from PS. I've had it with standard 801s.

Haha Your not alone Vman. Sometimes I do carry my pv upside down for a few minutes, for the trapped liquid to find it's designated place

In regards to leaking atomizers, the only reasoning I can think of is the liquids themselves or just poor build quality in the metal mesh being used in the production. From reading this thread, it seems there's not really a specific type that causes this problem. I noticed from personal exp most Vg based liquids do leak. This can be from the weight of the material itself. gravity.

Switcher, that does sound like you've blown a gasket! Maybe from the implosion, the mesh has loosened significantly?

You guys ever try to wrap Teflon tape around the bottom of your Attys ?

Huuuuum, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the air hole in the thread of the 801 fitting?

 

[mwa102464]

I guess it depends on your set up switched but for me, I like to drip a lot, and this has saved me time and time again on that extra juice that likes to come out at the bottom of your unit, give er a try buddy

... might just have to give that a whirl. From doctor, to electrician, to plumber. What next

LOL, but seriously... considering what I have seen over the years on the Net, I am glad I was an Engineer

I wish I had read this whole thread more carefully before I ordered, as I kind of want a real drip tip for the LR shorties that I bought. However, maybe the new ones have come in, or will soon enough to fulfill my order in a timely manner. Failing that, I am hoping Iken can switch my atomizers to the longer 801 LR's. I am down to one LR now. A couple weeks ago I had four, from other vendor. So that shows how well most of these other ones last, even if you are careful and don't let them dry out.

I'm sorry that I failed to sign on to ecf in time Northshore
I was out all day in meetings then rushed back in to pack all the orders in the nick of time. As I was saying before, if you like just mark the package return to sender and I'll exchange them for you for the longer barrels or we can just wait out for the new one's to come in.

On the positive and reassuring side I have not received one failed 801 since we started distributing these little numbers. We really do go above and beyond with our atomizers rather than just toying with resistances. I had a good friend that received the Mini's and was saddened by it being not compatible with drip tips. She tried them anyway and just fell in love them regardless of ease of dripping.
