whAt makes an 801 an 801? the battery? the atomizer? both?


to put a tank on my 801 do i need an adapter? like an 801 "something" to a 510 "something"?


are these small versions of tanks? DSE801-T Cartridges | 801 Tank System Refillable Cartridges | DSE 801 T Cartridge


how does one carry around a tanked PV?

The numbers 801 refer to the threading of the device. You would only need an adapter if you were putting a 510 threaded component on an 801 device. If you want a tank for an 801, I use the new clearomizers that SmokelessImage has. They seem to perform well, and larger batteries are also available there as well. Good Luck and I hope that helps.

Hey rescued, the numbers people usually refer to are the thread types on the battery of the device. There are a bunch of different types of threads, the "most" common being 510, 901/808D, 801, and eGo type threads. Madvapes has a good selection of adapters here: Adapters

If you have an 801 battery and want to connect a 510 attachment (an atomizer, cartomizer, or a tank with 510 threads), you might want to look at: 801 Battery to 510 Atomizer adapter

How many use the 801 now?

I have figured that 510 is the most common thread to use as there are many variations of cartomizers out there to choose from now in 510 thread. And if the adapter works out well it looks pretty slick on a battery.

still curious as to if there is anything special about how you carry around a tank system.
can you just throw it in your pocket?

Just to add a bit to the discussion, the 801 specification does refer to the atomizer/battery threading, as well as the overall design of the atomizer. In general, 801-style atomizers will have similar performance to each other, but will perform differently than a 901 or 510 for example.

Specifically I've always heard that the 801 produces a cooler vape with less vapor and TH, but better taste (though I've never tried one personally... yet).

510 does indeed seem to be the most common, mostly because the 510 atomizer produces more vapor and a stronger TH than the 801. The 801s do seem to have a following, but it is generally a small number compared to the 510 lovers (Personally I'm a huge 510 fan, as the better TH is crucial for me).

If you have an 801 battery, you will need to either use an 801 designed tank, or an adapter (a 510 tank for instance, using a 801->510 adapter).

As far as carrying tanks, I typically will either carry them assembled in my shirt pocket (quite convenient ) or dis-assemble the tank from the battery and carry them both in a case (I use the small Ego-style case)
