I just received my newly redesigned airflow adapter for the 801/penstyle atomizer in the mail. After ten minutes of fiddling with the new adapter I can say that this is, unequivocally, SUPERB. Anyone ordering a Super-T for the 801 should definitely purchase the adjustable airflow adapter. No questions! The Super-T is now truly SUPER.
The picture below shows the original adjustable airflow adapter for the 801 on the left, and the new, improved version on the right. Essentially, when you tighten down your 801 atomizer onto the adapter, it will seat on the rubber o-ring. The o-ring seals off any airflow to the atomizer except through the small hole on the side of the adapter. In the original adapter (at left), you use an allen wrench to turn a small, threaded setscrew in the airhole to set the draw of the atomizer as you like. The problem I found with this design was the set screw often would move in the hole requiring periodic readjustment of the airflow.
The new adapter (foreground) also uses an allen wrench to adjust a long setscrew to set airflow. In this redesign, the setscrew stays in place and, in conjunction with the smaller diameter air hole, the airflow is infinitely adjustable. This is a very cool adapter.
If you get one of the adjustable airflow adapters for the 801 atomizer, backup the set screw several turns to get the airflow close to where you want it. Trying to draw back the setscrew with the atomizer installed takes too long. Then install the atomizer and cover the airhole on the side of the adapter with your finger and make sure you have an airtight seal. Take the shorter end of the allen wrench and insert it into the setscrew, start a draw on the atomizer and move the wrench until you hit a draw that you like. You will all understand how simple it is to set this adapter.
