Need help from atty users

[radiated1]

I need the armys help. I have looked and looked and can not find any info on this.

Where I'm coming from: Buzz Pro 801, hate adapters have had nothing but problems with them.

Where I'm going: hoping to use atty in M1A1 instead of cartos.

Where I'm at right now: was advised by MWA to try using attys first before moving on to placing in a tank. I have only used cartos. I just ordered be112 and 801 atty with 2 carts. Not sure if I need to learn to drip but not really wanting to do this. I for the life a me can not find any information on how to use these. How may drops in atty? how full on carts? how to know when to refill carts ect. Can any smart army vapors link some good info. Also has anyone tried MWA atty tank with success?

Rad I also think its good to learn to drip first.

To start blow out the atty, some have a primer. Add 6 drops and fire twice for 1 second without a draw. Add 2 more drops and vape away, starting with 3 second pulls. Add 2 drops after the flavor has diminished for a couple of pulls. Probably more like 4 drops on the 801.

I'm not familiar with the 112 but the 801 is a bigger diameter and won't fit in a tank.

There is a learning curve but attys deliver better flavor and are more economical.

Enjoy !!!!

Thanks wharf. Be112 is a low bridge version of 801. I assume outer diameter would be wider than 501. I guess I will see when they get here.

One more question. After I get it going do I just add filled cart? Will it wick by itself?

 

[Wharf Rat]

For most of us, we use a drip tip and just drip. The atty was first designed to use with the cart and some still do. You can try it and it might work well for you.

If your going to use carts then you might as well use cartos. A carto in a tank vaporizes the juice instead of filler because every puff you take draws in a little juice. The reason for dripping carts is to get away from the filler. If your going to use carts you should get a dripper from Mike then all you have to do is give it a pump for juice ever now and then.

I also have an 801 thread on my Buzz top cap --- because my A2's happen to come in that outfit. Sometimes I put either a G4 or a Dual Coil carto on them ... and they come in 510.

I put an adapter on the G4 or DC and have had NO problems at all so far! Don't know which adapters you are using, but I got mine from either Health Cabin or Heaven Gifts (both in China), very inexpensive, and they work fantastically.

PS: With the regular 801 attys I have had the problem that I couldn't get *any* taste out of them (with ONE exception only which was a high performance 801 atty)... every juice tasted alike.... that's why I soon went from regular 801's to eGo and this self-coiling A2.

I am currently using ikenvape 801 cartos. I know the juice I like is hard on them but I'm not willing to change. I've tried so many venders and keep going back to tasty vapor. I have a couple tanks that I have been using seems to flood the carto. Getting less than a day from one. Tried every cleaning method there is and nothing seems to make them work again. Trying one today without the tank. Going to see how it goes. Measuring my juice to see I they last longer without the tank. I will keep you updated. Was looking for dripping most I the time but would like to add Cart when driving? Maybe move up to atty tank later. Not sure yet?

You must be making your slot too big. I have been getting right around a month out of my 801 Fusions in my tanks and no flooding or leaks. They still work great when I change them after a month but I like to keep things fresh. The 801 from Iken is a great atty but the I06 is the best one. It's not an 801 thread but it is a great atty. Tasty Vapor is great juice. I used to use it myself and I think he makes good clean juice.
As you can see I couldn't vape without adapters. The amount has grown since that picture. I don't have any problems with them working.

 

[radiated1]

I've tried everything. Even 1 hole from a nail. First fill awesome. Second fill just okay. Third fill (6-9 ml at this point) carto clogs. Then leaks from hole on bottom. After cleaning don't even get one tank full before clogs again and they have no flavor at all.

 

[Wharf Rat]

I had the same problem rad. I thought is my juice, but I got some LR Fusions and some of them lasted twice as long. My conclusion is that you can't build something that does everything. I love the Fusions but I love my juice more. That's why I switched to attys in July and very seldom miss using a carto.

You might not be able to build something that does everything, but if you're good (notcigs - ikv) you can build different things to fit just about every need. For me right now it's my BP and a fist full of i06 attys.

Well I guess I'm lucky because they are my holy grail for me but everyone has different likes and dislikes and you have to find what works for you. I tried attys but there's just too much fiddling around for me. I fill my tank and batts in the AM and I'm vaping hassle free until tomorrow.
It didn't happen overnight though, it took time trying this and that until I found what worked for me. You will find your holy grail too just keep
looking for what fits your wants and needs. Good luck and I'm sure you'll be successful.

I'm trying, almost found my grail after 8 months smoke free. Tasty Vapor is my juice. Notcig is my hardware, have a buzz pro, waiting for envy or whatever Mike is going to call it. Now need atty or carto that will last and taste good. I wish I had the funds to use 2 new fusions everyday, if so would not have this problem. I want minimal fiddling, however I will do what I need to stay off the analogs. hope new atty will help. also dug out some kiss bass vapor juice, trying again. possible new juice vendor but prefer not to. ugh why can't this be easy?

I hear ya Rad, that's exactly why I changed to attys. My fav's are the ikv i06 and most 306's (I prefer ikv but I've used generic with success as well).

@ radiated1,

Try making your carto holes like I do pictured below, use your dremmel and make a score on the wall of the carto but DON'T go all the way threw the wall just a nice deep score in the wall. Then take a nice size sewing needle and put it in the score and turn and push lightly till you make a hole. Also, dont fill your cart when putting it in the tank just prime it with 6-8 drops once it's in. Depending on your tank your using also dont let the air force liquid into the carto when filling and putting on your top cap. if just filling by having a tank where you lower the carto then push it up as you fill you should be fine. Anyways just try this technique with making the hole like pictured below and see how this works for you. I find it works much nicer then punching and denting the carto which also damages the roundness of the carto which can wear out the orings faster when removing and putting in Carto's, flood the carto, and leave an air bubble over your hole, and it works better then those saddle valve punches too. Dremmel score wall of carto needle size hole = cartos dont flood, runs with perfect amount of liquid going into it. Cartos I find are like Atty's in the way they need just the right amount of juice to run great and find the sweet spot and run perfectly in a tank, you can also adjust the size of the needle hole to your juice viscosity if you must

PS... I so love Atty's way More ;-)

I never got into dripping. Tryed it a few times.
I slot my fusions as MWA does. With the exception of one juice my fusions last 1-2 months in a tank or out. The one juice I mentioned lasts 4-5 days before the draw gets bad.

 

[radiated1]

Here's an update.

Using 2 fusions not in tanks. Started yesterday morning

1) tasty vapor buttercream cupcake. Used 3 mls tasted great. About middle of 4th ml started tasting off.

2) kbv maple frosted rolls. 4mls still tastes like new.

Will update again tonight. Looks like new juice vender is in order.

I have adjusted center screw on buzz, adjusted center pin on atty. found an old post that said buzz pro will not fire atty unless you replace center screw or file down outside threading on atty.

Does it fire with NO atty on it ?
does it go BAD or red when you screw on the atty ??

Not sure where you saw file down the atty threads but that is not right IMO !

the center post has to make contact with the screw to work FYI , sometimes IF you screw the atty down TOO tight it can cause a short .

 

[radiated1]

Fires with no atty. as I screw down 1/4 turn at a time hit button. Blue. No fire at all. Last 1/4 turn stays red. No firing at all. Looking for file down atty post. ......

 

[BuzzKill]

Something is causing a short , look in the top connection is there any junk in there ?? clean it out real good , also check the atty seal or silicon insulator on the atty they go bad too.
