LR 901 in AVS tips?

[vapn]

I've been reading this thread and don't understand if you guys are putting your AVS together properly with a 901 Atty on it why you having these problems other then sometimes the Atty itself can be to tight of a draw type of Atty which will bring to much juice into it, then switch that Atty for a lighter more airy draw one so it doesnt flood but for the most part a clean overflow tank with a freshly filled top tank gets me through a few days of use refilling time and time again until I have to draw the juice from my bottom tank with a syringe only then put back together shoot what I get from the syringe back into the top tank and fill to the top and start vaping again.

I see this exactly opposite. The light airy drawing atties flood easily and the tighter ones work perfectly. Everyone uses this thing so differently its absolutely amazing to me that it does work at all.

When we were doing the testing with the beta tank and using the 901s original vent hole for feeding it was clear to me then that the airy atties did not work well with this type of system. That is where the adjustable draw and liquid lock came in.

If I took the lid off the tank with the vent hole inside the tank covered with juice it would just drain right out through the center pole down into my Grant (That was the only cartomizer device I had at the time). The vacuum pressure of the lid was holding the juice inside the tank like holding your finger on top of a straw full of liquid. The liquid lock was intended to stop the siphon effect by holding the pressure on the bottom end of that straw.

If you have one of these airy drawing atties it is like having a big gulp straw versus a tighter drawing atty that's more like a coffee stirrer. We are only trying to get a tiny little bit of juice on each puff. That balance is so hard to keep when your battery voltage is constantly dropping and your atty is getting more and more clogged as you use it.

Cartomizers were the end of these troubles and I thank you for getting me to try them.... long before the thread was started....

Okay, I think part of the whole avs process depends upon how tightly you screw the AVS to the collection tank.

If it's really good and hand snugged, there seems to be a very tight draw, flooded atty (even with a wide open control ring) and the need of 2x the rated current of the atty to get a good vape. The collection tank stays bone dry, and the switch gets hot after repeated use.

But if I loosen the avs just a bit before screwing the collection tank onto the battery, the dynamics change. Juice starts to drip a bit into the tank (and a tiny bit on the outside of the mod), less current can be used, and the button doesn't get as toasty warm. Tightening the CR then becomes a necessity to keep the vape from tasting burnt.

If you're having the tight draw, little vape, flooded atty problem, you may want to loosen the top part of the ggts off of the battery, loosen the avs from the tank a quarter or half turn, and then retighten the ggts to the battery.

EEK! I didn't think anyone would use 6 volts and LR in the same sentence!

I totally agree with Clyde as far as tightening, but not the collection tank, it's the top cap for me, The Top Cap, I dont over tighten my top cap and I never seem to get flooded, if I tighten it to much then I flood, I have been saying this for a while and it kind of reverts back to Imeo's old saying of nothing needs to be overtightened on the GG's but not exactly, however regarding the Top Cap it seems to be crucial on how much you snug it down or not in getting the perfect Draw, This is where I disagree with Vapn on the light Airy Attys, they seem to work awesome for me on my AVS because I tighten my top cap to the perfect spot to where they work and let fluid in very easily and create great amounts and plumes of vapor for me. I really believe this system has a few different ways of adjustment to the likings of each person using it, some people like the light draw some like a stiff draw, some like more fluid then others coming into the Atty, It's all subjective in my opinion and everyone likes a different vape for sure, I don't have to pull hard at all when I am vaping with my GGTS/AVS and I get plumes of vapor out of it and this is how I like it to run for me, others may vary like Vapn because it's all subjective, but I like a really light pull and tons of vapor and not having to suck on the thing to get the juice into the Atty.! Bottom line is everyone is a bit different I think on there likings and settings, and for me it's that Top Cap that needs to be set just right for my Atty to perform to my likings, then I set my CR just how I want that, this is all when running the 901 of course, and using an 801,510 vary a bit as well.

Hi Clyde,



I read your post and also posted my findings on the tightenng of my TOP CAP, not the collector tank or fill tank but the Top Cap in getting my perfect action on my AVS. Anyways the reason I write to you is for what youve said using a LR901 @ 6v, is this really what your doing.? I would think it would burn that Atty right up with 6V drawing approx 2.46 Amperage from an LR Atty.? Can you talk a bit more about this and whats happening with that LR91 @6v or was it a typo.? Heck maybe because the darn Atty stays so wet with all the liquid coming at it that it doesnt fry or get to hot because of the liquid, but I surely would think that Atty would go puff in no time using it like this, Clyde.?

Hopefulll gave me a real Gordian knot solution to my problem: clean my ggts'es!

Guess my Grande prototypes had leaked enough juice into the inside of them to impede the flow of current.

It seems the vape lessens after a couple of hours and I have to dump juice to restore it.

How often do you guys have to 'take a dump', and does this decrease over time? Thanks.

I generally only have to do it when I fill at the start of the day. Everyone is different though and I guess the more VG you use the less issues you have. I am a 6.4V vaper.

Yes normally the less I vape the less I have to take a dump... hehehhe...
