I've found that a lot of people who are wiccan/pagans have a "gift" for finding technical oddities.
Hmmm you may be on to something there, never thought about it that way before. When we first moved into our house there was a smoke alarm in the hallway that would beep everytime I walked under it. Hubby finally replaced it because it drove him nuts

On the adapters I never did find my 901-808 adapter so used a 901-510 then topped it with a 510-901 and that worked.
Happy vaping!
