The HighPing Mod - 801 attys

[Switched]

I rave about this mod, so much so I renamed it the MHM in honor of HP. However, it ain't worth s.... on an 801. The only way I can get performance out of my 801s is with stock batt. I tried different liquids and those that flowed well with the HP mod etc... just plain sucked on the 801 atty.

For some reason the atty perform like a champ when a new cart is installed (with the HP mod) but as soon as the residual juice is vaped, it quits producing. It seems that there is something in the cart design on an 801 that won't permit proper wicking. It doesn't matter if it be low bridge or high bridge. I went back to stock carts and fillers and using the same liquid that didn't wick properly wicked well. WTF over.

Anyone else have similar experience?

I have never tried my method on an 801, but I probably would have predicted the results you were seeing. The cart is just too big to hold the juice well. The size, combined with the strait sides of the cart, make it so the plug has no grip and the bridge will push it too far in. It also won't take the shape of the bridge like in a smaller atty (510, 901, etc).
IMO the 801 is really the only 'drip worthy' atty out that I have used. The reason I say that is that with any other (smaller) atty, you put in 3-4 drops, get 5-6 good hits and then repeat (so many times that it gets old very quickly). The 801 is different though. You can get 10-15 drops in an 801 and it will vape for 20-30 hits before needing more juice. The 801 is a great atty (at higher than stock voltages). It's only real problem is that it leaks everywhere (and it's giant).

That is what I found out as well. Since these suckers hold a ton of juice, I'm wondering if the "straw" or "spring" mod would work on these? Time to go to Wendys

Because unlike the 510 that leaves a slight depression, there is no appreciable depression on the 801s.

Interesting you mentioned dripping on the 801, I don't like dripping with them and that included dripping at 3.7V or on my direct passthru.

That is exactly what happens with the Janty Stick V3. It uses a 302 cart and this mod won't work in it for the same reasons. It is awesome in the 510 and 901 though. Only cart mod I've ever liked.

I hear ya Jules and that is exactly where I found out the truth

The down side to the HP mod, you go through a lot more juice, because it is the only mod that resembles dripping with a cart IMHO and the only one I use on my 510s.

... the HP mod ROCKS with the new LR attys. I choked on my first hit.

Well Thur is burger day and I went to Wendys. Got me a couple of straws for my ice tea (normally I don't use straws) and fitted an 801 with a straw and HP mod. The straw is a perfect match for the 801. I cut them too long at first. the cart will only accept a 1/2 piece, so one straw will last a long time.

It improved but I believe as I have read elsewhere that there is a leaning curve to vaping with an 801. The atty IMO quits producing as soon as it gets too hot, frigg too hot, hot.

We cannot hit the 801 like our 510s. Taking a couple of hits every 5-10 minutes it performs well, anything more than that and your sucking air pretty much.

The mod works great however.

For my 801 I use the LTB and the 2-straw method.....2 straws, half a teabag in each of them, I can vape about 2 hours, without dripping......I love this method.....and I use the same method on my 510......with the normal sized ato, I use half of half teabag, with the mega ato, I use, just like my 801, half a teabag in each straw......

Have you tried it with the PTB, I may go to that. Might just be the atty too though. I have one that vapes like a champ.

do the adapters fit this model?

The first thing that I tried this mod on was an 801! It works great for me! I am addicted to it!

Well is wasn't until I received an SD equiped with the RN4075 (901s) that I was able to figure out what was going on with the 801 atties. I had ordered some spares (801s) and gave them a whirl, and they didn't wick worth a damn just like the 302.

The trick with these atties if you are going to use them with carts vice dripping (that's what most folks use 'em for), you need to change the filler. Well I thought that I had that problem way under control because of my 510 use. I was wrong!

With the RN4075 you need only enough filler in the cart to hold the liquid in suspension, and this is very little.

So I gave my 801s a whirl. Holy Jesus do these carts hold juice (42 drops, (that's 2 drops shy of 2ml)). Tried them out on my PT and low and behold, they vape like champs. I think I would have arrived at this conclusion if the scene was not flooded with 510 users and 801 drippers. A properly filled 801 seriously outshines the 510 any day and 3 times on Sunday.

Now I need to work on the RN4075s. The SD vapes like a champ with a 510 atty and adapter. I thought I had a dud atty (RN4075) so I tried the other, no dice same thing. I exchanged carts, my 510 carts (which flow extremely well) did not wick properly on the RN4075) the RN4075 worked like champs on a 510 attty.

I'm starting to think that the 801 and 901 do not have the wick under the bridge as the 510s do.

So what exactly did you do? I didn't quite follow.

Thanks

All the 801's I have looked at do not have wick to speak of. The coil that wraps around the heating element is huge though and will hold a lot of wasted juice if you do not know how to use one. My experience is only dripping and using the old cartridges from a long time ago. I do not use other attys anymore. Just 801's... but I am a dripper. i tried cartos for awhile and could not get the taste that I wanted. You have to hold an 801 almost upside down sometimes or you will waste all the juice you have been pouring into it. Once you get the dynamics of a dripping 801 down it will no longer leak. Mine no longer leak and I can use the same atty for 4 days without cleaning or blowing it out. You can read my blog for a detailed description on how I accomplish this.
