Tough draw on 801 atoms

[40oz]

Hello,
I just wanted to ask if anything could be done about your 801 atomizers and their difficult draw. I have several other brands of 801 atomizers and they all have a nice smooth draw. Has anyone else had this issue?

My other 801 atomizers include DY 4 hole and Janty 2 hole. There seem to be no visable holes on these atomizers and really they are a pain to try to get a nice experience with due to the tough draw.

Thanks

This is the exact reason i returned my Penstyle to puresmoker , theirs are not 801's they are the RN branded penstyles... horrible draw

A couple of options. First, you can try and back off the atomizer 1/8 to 1/4 turn from the battery to allow some additional airflow at that point. Second, some forum members have found sucess drilling a small hole(s) in the mouthpiece. I would think this method may increae airflow, but not vapor because the intake flow ideally needs to come from the connection between the battery and atomizer. Lastly, you can grind or file one or two flat spots on the battery threads to increase airflow into the chamber.

yeah man draw is terrible...

EDIT

I thought they had new 4-hole atomizers?

i believe the RN atomizers are actually "NO HOLE" atomizers , rather there is a small gap all they way around the seal where the battery and atomizer connect , i read elsewhere that some people have had success with removing the outer "band" on the bottom of the atomizer

I have a lady pipe with the same exact issue
If I back off the threads a lil it works fine

but I was thinking of making the air hole in the pipe head a bit bigger, but i want to try a diff atty first

Has anyone tried drilling a hole similar to the 901 hole location? Maybe i will check that out once one of these dies to prevent damaging the insides of a functioning atomizer.

The 1/4 turn doesnt really help much at all. I did try that before posting but it still has a pretty damn tough draw.

The RN's that Puresmoker has are 4 "slots". You can see them right at the edge of the black and and the threads. (In my case a 10x magnifier and a very bright light helped with that, but I'm old and decrepit) Make sure they don't get blocked with "gunk". I clean around those when I clean the threads.

I actually prefer the RN4072 because the case does not get as hot, the body of the atomizer actually seems to be thicker. Now these are earlier models of the Penstyles and maybe there have been some changes. I know that one of the suppliers in China is no longer offering a warranty on them, so maybe they have changed. But my early RN's have worked beautifully, with a great draw.

The atomizer does have 4 slots. one i got was not working because the pole on the atomizer was too deep for the battery to connect so i used a pliers to pull the metal band off... you can see the slots then, they are on the outside of the atomizer under the band. I GROUND ABOUT .03 off the battery end of the atomizer and walla the battery made the connection and it worked fine

for 4 holes, the draw seems hard!

its harder than my 1 hole 901 and 4hole pilot!

They don't always work with 801 batteries or passthroughs either....regardless of what the suppliers say. It's a 50/50 chance that they will mesh well enough to work properly.

Just my experience and opinion...

I have found a very easy solution to this that involves no drilling! and it was accidental too! Just have the cart/mouthpiece slightly loose on to the atomizer and close it when done using so no leaks

I don't have the 801, but I do have the Pilot/401, and have come to the conclusion that not all batteries and atomizers are exactly the same. Each battery fits differently with the different atomizers I have tried. My solution was to slightly loosen and not over tighten the connection and that has worked magically.

The only time ive encountered tough draw was after a few days of over filling.
All I did was what puresmoker suggested to do = holding atomizer over some boiling water.
then I blew all that thinned out ejuice owta there. Now my clogged 801 works almost like new.
