Hey Drew we hope you do not mind that a few of us have some fun on this thread and actually even planned a quick meet. BTW - Saratoga is not that far from you if you would like to join on the 16th!!!!! It will be a small crowd but fun
Well, I gave in and ordered one just now :xD Let the magic begin.. Well soon at least.Will read through this thread later after watching Top Chef and other things.
Ditto....901's are my 1st choice by far.

So how can you answer so definitively when...No, they don't. I think drip shields were designed for the 901. People are also using them with 510s with an adapter to raise the atty up to accommodate the shorter length of the atty. 510s and 901s are the same diameter (same drip tip size). 801s are much wider and the shield will not fit.
?I do not know, as I do not have a shield....
So I ask again, do the drip shield really fit on the 801's? CuseGuy???For those that are wondering, the drip shield does fit on 510's and 801's also. I haven't tried anything besides these 3 yet. SK, you could almost drive over to pickup up your Drip shield...lol!
Good for you, Isaac! So, at which stalking phase are you - Order Confirmation, USPS site appearance or the USPS F5 Frenzy?
Order Confirmation..... Only up to page 30 so far ... Good stuff.. I'm surprised however, that a lot of people are using cartos... I'm so not a carto fan, but might order some IKV 2ohm cartos here.

BTW Thanks for the rest of that post, quite informative.

So was I! In fact, I thought the wonders of the Darwin fairly screamed for dripping so I was also stunned to watch the first round chatter about carto choices. Seriously perplexing.
I held out for a long, long time but started to wonder... If Darwinians are smart enough to use Darwins - to be Darwinians - and they use cartos...how bad could they be? Turns out, not bad at all.
I have a drip sheild and he is right...They wont fit..He explains that the 801 cartos have a bump out on them that is fatter...You dont really need a dripsheild with the cartos because they wont really leak...If they do they will leak out of the bottom...Hope this helps...ThanksSo I ask again, do the drip shield really fit on the 801's?

The fave cartos lately have been Drew's 510 dual-coil LR, his 801s and tonight the long-awaited 3.5ml 510, that Drew has worked very hard to bring more or less specifically to us Darwinians!
Hey now....what's this?? 3.5ml 510??

Here's a picture of the Empire shield on one of Drew's 801's, stripped of black sticky paper. It is not providing any real functionality, but looks nice. I havent tried it on a 306.

What Drew said...only had leakage out the bottom and the drip shield wouldn't have stopped that. What I can't figure out is how folks are using these drip shields with 306s.
I have a (really bad, even though I put white paper behind it) picture of it with a 901...no adapter needed. How the heck are you guys using it with 306s?

But why are you using it with a carto? Is it for The Pretty, man? Or is there some function I'm missing.
