I posted this in a thread but got no answers. I was wondering if anyone out there who has Delrin and Teflon driptips if they can tell the difference. I'm asking this because I have some delrin drip tips, and just recently received some teflon driptips I ordered. From reading about teflon, I'ts suppose to be sort of velvety and vibrant white. When comparing it to my delrin drip tips, the only difference I can really tell, or rather see is that my white delrin driptips are a more transparent white, while my new teflon ones are a more solid vibrant white. The texture feels the same for me with perhaps the teflon one being a bit more smoother/slippier MAYBE but im not sure. Are Delrin and Teflon suppose to be similar type of materials? Because they seem practically the same to me other than the transparency differences.
Me just like anybody else have been throwing out my teflon pans and replacing by ceramic. But just now I realized, what about dripping attys and teflon driptips? Do you think it could cause toxic fumes vaped at very high voltages? For the time being and just being on the safe side, I'm keeping them for tanks only.
The one thing i still have trouble with in my vape shopping is finding nice drip tips. Most unfortunately I live out in the 'burbs where there are no vape shops, let alone one with a large selection of drip tips that I can try on my RBAs live. I haven't found many vendors with what I would call a "great" selection of DTs, vapordna being one of them. I'm willing to pay a little extra to get a quality DT, I find it makes that bit of difference that can take a good set up and make it great. The few times I have ordered DTs from FT I found that I don't really end up using them either because they don't fit quite right, don't feel quite right, or suffer from lower quality in build and/or materials. The best luck I've had has been with vapordna's premium tip section but I know there are tips out there which are just as good at a far cheaper price. So I posit the question ... where do you get your tips?
Specifically I was recently at a B&M a few cities over looking at an HCigar Orchid clone and while I didn't care for the Orchid I loved the DT, I just couldn't justify buying an atty I'll never use just for the DT ... I don't like to collect things like that. It was a fat medium length SS tip with a delrin base/core and 2 O-rings. It fit like a glove in my SQR which I find has the most precise 510 drip bore of any of my toppers, which shouldn't come as any surprise since the SQR is Swiss
I'm very curious about what certain terms and numbers mean and how they came to be.
Here's a few that come to mind:
RY4
18650 battery (18 x 65mm?)
510 thread
510 (and 810) drip tip (both the number and the term)
Atomizer (it's not like it actually reduces liquids to atoms)
Delrin
ceramic coil (the heating element, wick or both)
Squonk
OLED screen
Tootle puffer
Steeping (like making tea?)
Velocity deck
Fused clapton, alien, ect.
Resistance wire (what makes it different than other wire?)
PEEK insulator
Terpenes
Coil break-in (not how to, but what does it actually do)
Feel free to answer and/or ask more questions.
We got the attention of President Trump's GOP staff by crashing the White House switchboard.
Now its Round Two.
You know what to do. The message remains the same. If you have Twitter, continue to tweet, and continue to call the White House to remind Trump's staff that we won't let them forget about us.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BE THE DIFFERENCE.
So today I decided to go check out a B&M that is near me, but further away from the other B&M's closer to me. The place is called The Vapor Lounge and it is located in Warwick NY. If anyone ever finds themselves in the Hudson Valley, I highly recommend checking this place out. Went there to check out some different brands and flavors of juice, ended up leaving there with some new juice, a new mod, and a new RDA (and my first one at that).
The Vapor Lounge Warwick NY
Spent quite a bit of time talking with the owner, Zack, sharing stories on how and why we got into vaping. All his prices either matches, or is slightly better than prices you can find online. Ended up buying a SX Mini M Class ($200), Freakshow Mini ($25), a couple of JMK WD Pico+ drip tips ($20 each), and a couple of other delrin drip tips with a stainless steel cover ($5 each and shown in the picture). I also picked up two bottle of Voltage by the Juice Guys in 3 mg and a bottle of Dragonaire by Tasty Cloud in 6 mg.
Zack recommended the Freakshow Mini as a good starter RDA that gives great flavor. He spent over a half hour walking me through and showing me how to build a nickel coil for it and wicking it with cotton as he built me a coil for the Freakshow Mini, and he didn't charge me for the coil building. He then walked me through all of the options in the menu of the SX Mini. They do have a rewards program where you earn $1 for every $10 you spend on hardware, so I've accumulated enough points on this one purchase for a bottle of juice. As I left, he said to come back whenever I have any questions or issues, even if it is with stuff that I did not purchase from him.
He has definitely earned a lifetime customer.
I'm getting leakage from the squonk bottle on my Asmodus Luna. The leak isn't from the bottle itself, but from around the cap and the sealing points. The cap is delrin, and I want to seal it all off at the sealing points, cap to the bottle, around the outside where the feed tube comes out of the top of the cap. I fill thru the 510 so won't be taking it apart once installed again. I'm thinking of aquarium sealer or this: Clear Silicone, Waterproof Sealant, Aquarium Sealant from Loctite Adhesives
Do you think it will hold up to getting nic on it?
I feel like our drip tips get a little neglected around here, while the mods and atties hog all the attention. But what part of your vape could be more personal than your mouthpiece?
I have a small collection of Vape Stash tips, all with their own purpose (and more to come). I love them. I care for them as well as I do my other components. Furthermore, they tell us a little about each of our personalities!
So whip 'em out! Let's see your straws of glory!
I like red.
[EDIT] A search pulled no similar thread, which is shocking enough to me to suspect this is a dupe. If that's the case, please let me know and I'll close and repost appropriately.
really random and specific question here. i recently got a kanger subtank mini. love it. around various vape shops and what not i see a lot of people with the subtonic mini but with a 3rd party drip tip. most of the times the tips are really short. idk why i just think it looks really cool but i don't know where to look for such drip tips. anyone have any pics or recommendations they could share?
Its been about 7 months since i made the switch to vaping but my teeth aren't white yet. They're much better but still not completely white. Does the nicotine have an impact to your teeth color?
Recently bought some white silicone sleeves for a mod because all that was left to by anywhere. Not a big fan of white pr translucent silicone sleeves because when they get stained it's impossible to clean them, not even bleach works.
I figured I could try dying them.
Anyone do this successfully before?
I've read about it on a few sites. One method is to use hair dye, but I figured I would ask here in case maybe someone has done it using a better method.
I also have a bottle of black RIT fabric dye, but I don't know if that would work well.
Just don't want it to rub off on my hands or clothes.
