You have to be super careful doing PTB with an 801. If your 801 isn't a sealed manual it is highly likely you will short out the battery due to leakage. But if you wish to try it the setup is that same as all the others with the exception of needing 1.5 teabags. With a 510 you only use 1/2 teabag. With the 801 I cut the teabags in half lengthwise. I used 3 pieces which is 1 and 1/5 bags. Roll it up just like the 510 and stuff it in there. You really need to do the shred trick to the uppermost 1/4 inch of the finished PTB mod to get it to wick properly. You can find instructions for the shredding in the "Only Way PTB work" post. Hope that helps.

I tried it with a thin strip of the blue foam with 2 PTBs long way and made into 3 strips that fit the cartridge and it seems to work well for now.

The next problem is the USB wall plug adapter. Mine is 1000 mah/5v and will not run the 801. The USB will run the 801 directly off the computer, but I prefer not to do that. Please include any links for one that will work. Low cost appreciated.

I can tell I am going to like this with the Protege since it holds so much liquid. (Waiting by the mailbox for my Protege.) I just wish the flat end carts were a little thicker. I guess nothing's perfect or we wouldn't need a forum...

Thanks,
