No...no such luck, my friend. I can't keep track of things like that anyway.
Which is the 510-510 adapter that came with the Darwin - the 510>Cartomizer? I want a spare...I think so, if the pics are in order.
I think it is quite possible to make a drip shield that will work on an 801, and not just in theory. I don't have the tools to make such a thing, so will leave it up to someone who does.
Yeah, that's what I'll have to work on. So far, I've only tried dripping a few times. And while dripping I didn't have any problems. My problem comes when I'm using a cartridge (not carto), and I leave my PV in an upright position for any length of time, I will invariably have some leaking, regardless of how full or empty the cartridge is.So, if ya wanna use 801 attys, and not risk leakage - ya kinda have to get into the "Art of Dripping".

Well. Now I'm late cuz I skimmed all the posts for the last several pages. If you don't hear from me, I'm reading "The Darwin News".

I use tiny, padded hair elastics, BB - the kind for toddler girls, to contain leakage from 801s. Because they're a more generous vape vessel it's more like seepage than actual, drip-down-the-sides leakage. They're usually in the hair care aisle in someplace like Walmart and they fit well around the Darwin.
Stay tuned - gonna take a (bad) pic and show you what I mean...
No need for a pic, I know what you mean. I like the idea of the drip shield though, to contain and reuse the juice, instead of cleaning it up after it leaks.
I would imagine the hair elastic would get kinda soggy after a while.

Indeed they do get soggy, Al. Wish I knew of something close to the drip shield configuration for you. It'd really help.
well, im on page 76 only.. been reading all night.. gotta go to bed now though .. Work early ... night Darwinians!
Thanks, SK. Now, where are the Darwinians? I know, it's late.
man i can not wait for my darwin to get here just thought i would share that
Hi All,
I have been vapeing for a little over a year now. The only device I ever purchased was my original 510 kit. I quickly realized the 510 batteries would not cut it if I wanted to remain a non-analog smoker. I started searching for a mod, but never found anything worthy of my hard-earned money that I could not make myself. I decided to do just that and have been making them ever since. I amquite capable with electronics and design and etch my own circuit boards making mods with regulated and variable, voltage out of flashlight bodies, but they still look homemade.
I recently decided it was time to start looking for a commercial mod with variable voltage and had decided on the Provari. I was prepared to order one when I decided to do a little more research because it was bothering me that even with its variable voltage and digital read out the Provari was still a tube with a battery. I had seen the Darwin, but the price had turned me away before really doing any research. After putting all the items in the shopping cart I would need for the Provari, I realized they were close enough in price that I should study the Darwin before making my purchase.
I started reading all the reviews on this forum and others. I also watched all the YouTube videos and all I kept thinking was the Provari is innovative and has taken the tube and battery concept to its logical zenith, but the Darwin is quite groundbreaking and different. The phase “Intelligent design” kept popping into my head the more I read about the Darwin, which is ironic because the theory of intelligent design is used to counter Darwin’s theory of evolution.
I am proud to say I decided to order the Darwin, and it should be hear on Friday. I also like the fact that I did not need to wait a week for my order to ship. I can hardly wait, and I have a big bag ofold atomizers and cartomizers waiting for a new lease on life.
I also believe I have a new slogan for the Darwin “Evolution through intelligent design” I love the duality of it.

Tainted - I too did alot of research before jumping on the Darwin and even considered the EQ (not out yet) and also made my own VV mods. The Darwin is truly the way to go.....
Enjoy and welcome to the Darwinian/Darwinia clan (on Friday).....

Almost exactly what I went thru. I knew it was time to move up to a Variable Volt unit- I had an eGo and a 5v box mod already. And new I wanted something better. So I set my research on VV units only. At first sticker shock steered me away from both the Provari and Darwin. But the more I considered what I wanted, the more it became apparent that I needed to just bite the bullet and purchase what I needed. Otherwise I would just end up throwing money into mod after mod searching for the perfect one. I then was leaning toward the Provari simply because the Darwin price was giving me sticker shock. But then I added everything up on the Provari, and realized there was only about a $10 difference. And when considering that the Provari would likely go thru multiple batteries per day, and the Darwin wouldn't, that really made me go to the Darwin.
It didn't take long for me to realize I had made the right decision. Around the same time, my wife purchased herself a different (less expensive) VV mod. Only took her 2 weeks before she was disliking it, and thinking about buying a different one. She was envious of how well my Darwin performed- consistent vape all day every day without changing batteries. So we just decided to bite the bullet a 2nd time. We are both happy Darwinians now
Good post Tainted! I think you'll be pleased!
I had 2 ProVaris. Sold one and gave sister the other one. They are a great device BUT.... They are not the Darwin!! I've used a gazillion mods and Darwin is cream of crop in my eyes! Loves my Darwin!!

I know I've already kind of shared this when I was researching my Darwin but I had originally got into e-cigs in the Summer of 2009.
I initially picked up a 901 kit, fooled around with it for awhile but mainly considered it a toy. A week later I got a manual batt 510 and liked it a lot more and decided to order the first run of Prodigy V1s. Once I hit 5v I was able to quit analogs and used my PV for about six more months.
I eventually got SICK of dealing with all the juice, dripping, keeping up with everything - just kind of snapped so about a week after I got my Super 6 from Super T I sold all my gear (A TON) as a lot for $200 and didn't smoke a thing for another six months.
During the Summer of 2010 I visited my brother out in San Diego and thought it would be ok to just have a cigarette or two that weekend. Well...
Cut to a few weeks ago and I decided I wanted to get back into PVs and kick analogs again. I knew that I preferred around 5v but MAN had things changed.
I eventually decided on the Darwin and knew I wanted it for my first trip back into PVs but I was SO impatient waiting on it to get back in stock. I was at my wits end and about to order another mod and I got the email telling me they'd be in the next day.
So glad I waited! Still a bit nervous since it's my only PV and I have no backup or money for one but I'll handle that eventually.
Haven't had an analog in 9 or so days.

Nebula, I gotta say, that info has proved to be very useful, the non activated hit...makes such sense but I just never thought to do it. But now even when I over drip just a bit and see it bleeding out the threads, I do the NAH (non activated hit) and it brings it right back into the atty...my paper towel is getting lonely! Thank you!!
