Need 5C's And Buzzkill's Help Please

[hairball]

I asked for either of you for a reason (the inventor of the Buzz and lover of the 801 Fusion cartomizers). Here is my dilemma: I purchased an 801 top cap for my Buzz to solely use it for Ikenvape's 801 Fusion cartomizers. Problem is, I get a really tight draw. I tried backing it off but still the same. I even tried 2 other Fusions on it. Same thing...tight draw. However, I have a Prodigy V3.1 with an 801 cap and the draw is perfect on all 3 cartomizers. Unfortunately, I want to use my Buzz because I like these cartomizers at 4.5v, not 3.7v. What am I doing wrong gentlemen?

I used 2 adapters on my Buzz to achieve the draw I love but is there a better solution than this?

Buzzkill, is there something that I can do to the cap to make the draw airier besides backing the carto off which isn't working anyways?

5C, I know these are one of your favorite carto's. Any input on getting them to work on my Buzz would be appreciated or do I have to stick to the adapters? I don't mind the adapters other than my mod grew a neck.

Thank you in advance.

What connection is your Buzz Hairball?

 

[hairball]

I have both the 801 and 510 top caps Wharf.

Oh just re-read op.

I had the 801 on my Buzz and the Fusion draw was too tight. I thought 5C was crazy (I still do sometimes hehehe) and that the Gold V2's were much better. Then I put my 510 connection back on and used a adaptor, and it was perfect. I have two one from IKV that's about 3/8" that I was using. But I switched to the stealth from avidvapor and you can barely see it. both have given me a great draw.
I hope they can come up with better ideas so that you can get the 801 connection working.

 

[hairball]

I'll check out avid vapor. I have the 801 on one Buzz and my other Buzz has the 510 with adapter. I bought the 801 so I wouldn't have to fool with adapters but if I do I do. I'm not going to give up. I am just hoping for a better solution so that I can use the 801 cap.

I just put a fusion on my 801 connection and it's still a really tight draw. I put an IKV HVmini 801 and the draw is good. I think it's the Fusion. When you look on the bottom, the center post comes down a long way and is fairly close the the bottom of the threads, especially compared to the atty. I think on the Fusion, the center post is sitting right on top of the center screw.

 

[hairball]

I think you're on to something wharf. I was just thinking that it could be the screw in the cap. I see what you mean about the center post. So that's where the problem is.

 

[hairball]

Yep I believe that is it. Looking at both of my mods, the Buzz and Prodigy, it appears that the center screw on the Buzz is almost flush with the top while on the Prodigy, the center post is deeper into the cap. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what the difference was. Thank you Wharf...off to avid to get a couple of connectors.

Hairball, I was dead set against using adapters too...until I finally gave the Fusions a try! I can't help you with the draw problem on your 801 cap, but wanted to let you know that you made me giggle

my mod grew a neck.

 

[Wharf Rat]

Ya it's kind of a bummer, and I had the same thoughts as you. I loved the V2's and I wasn't going to get the Fusions. But since I had the 801 cap I thought what the hell. Then when it didn't work, (again, the part I thought 5C crazy) I put the Fusion down for a couple of weeks.

The silver lining ~ if I didn't have that top cap I wouldn't have bought the Fusion in the first place and with the adaptor I'm really loving them

BTW they're back in stock and also now in black.

 

[hairball]

I'm pretty well stocked on fusions. When Isaac reopened his store, I bought a bunch of fusions out of fear that I would run out and have to wait forever in a day to get them again. I got my hands on 30...I bought 15 and had my neighbor get 15. She loves the V2's also. I need to switch a couple with her and see how they are (if she'll give one or two up).

 

[hairball]

Bov, my adapters are regular size...so yes...LOL...my Buzz grew a neck. Not what I was hoping for.

 

[Bovinia]

So is mine hehe, I need to get some stealth ones too.

Totally OT but I'll give you something to giggle about now. I had to run errands this afternoon and it was raining cats and dogs. My damned door handle broke on the driver side! Snap and it was in my hand. Pouring rain and I have to open the window and open my car door from the outside!! Grrrr

 

[Wharf Rat]

I guess what they say is true Bov, when it rains.................... it pours !!!

 

[hairball]

That stinks...I had a 1984 Chevette back in '86 that I had to Duke's of Hazard it to get in. Seeing my brother get in it was funny...he's 6'9".

 

[hairball]

I just tried a Boge 801 that I have and still the same tight draw. Has to be the screw...oh well...I have some 801 atty's I can use it for.

 

[Bovinia]

LOL Wharf, true! I sure hope all our southern neighbors and friends are safe. Our storms here today were nothing compared to the devastation across the south

 

[hairball]

We caught the very edge of that storm here in KS. We only got a sprinkling from it. I can't even imagine what it looks like there. Back in 1990, we had a twister go through Salina. I actually saw the damage. Hubby was looking for a job at the time...still makes me sick to remember.

 

[garyinco]

May I ask why people like the fusion cartos? I've always been a 510 user. I'm wondering what the difference is.... I've seen the Fusion's on Issac's site (out of stock) but wondered why people liked them. Thanks.

 

[hairball]

To me they have a very clean taste and wick the fluid better than any carto that I've used. They also last along time.
