2 questions about drip tips

[uBerNoob]

1. are the clear AluminumAnodized Drip Tips actually clear or silver like in the pic shown?

2. and do these work on the tornado with the cone?

3. (yes there's a 3rd, i lied) if so, does anyone have a picture of their tornado with these drip tips?

1. They are aluminum, then anodized with a clear coating, so they are silver (the clear part just means the aluminum is not colored)

2. Yep, they work great

awesome. thanks jazzguy

Hey Jazz Thanks...That pic is clearer than my site!!!!These tips are also slightly wider internal dimensions then the originals as all the current ones that are now for sale at Altmoke and soon a couple other suppliers that will be selling these...Thanks for your interest Uber and I hope you enjoy them...

No Problem Drew! Here's a good pic you are free to use wherever you'd like that shows the funnel better (and is 100% NHaler!)....

I LOVE the new tips. I still like the delrin ones too, but these are my faves. Even the thickest HV juice slides right through, no problem.

And don't even get me started on the XSHaler. This thing rocks. Just need some AW high drains for it - didn't I read you have those coming soon?

I WAS trying desperately to get them but I have been doing a little research and Im not sure all the hype is actually factual...I have been using the Lions in my HS with almost identical results...Now the lifespan of the battery is yet to be seen, but Im just not possitive we NEED IMRs ...Especialyy since i cant find anyone that makes them in 450Mah...The battery Gurus that I have spoken too tell me that the AWs are not 550 mah because the technology does not exist...I just want to be sure first...Thanks again for the pics...

Fortunately I had some 16340 AW's from a 5V regulator box mod I made, It lasted about 10 hours of moderate use yesterday. The 16340 LioN protected I bought from Drew is still going at about the same amount of time. The only difference I have noticed is that the AW seemed to drop off a bit towards the end, whereas the LioN hasn't changed that I can tell in about the same amount of time. I expect this is due to the difference in maH ratings (550 vs 880). Safe chemistry is always a plus tho IMO.

Hey Drew...here's the thing as I see em on the IMR batteries...
depending on the voltage and the atty used the amp draw can far exceed the max drain rate of the battery..
as far as the preliminary math that I've done there's really only a handfull of batteries that the amp draw does not exceed the max drain rating of the battery...
So far those are:
for 3.7V...about any 18650, or the AW 3.7V IMR 16340
for 6V...stacked AW 3V 16340 LiFePo4
for 7.4V... stacked AW 3.7V IMR 16340

So lets say I'm wanting to run a LR magnum atty on an XS-Haler..
I'm looking at a 2.47A draw...

the ultrafire 880mAh 3.7V 16340 has a max drain rate of <1.32A
the AW 750mAh 3.7V 16340 has a max drain rate of <1.5A
the AW 550mAh 3.7V IMR 16340 has a max drain rate of <4.4A

so everything but the IMR you're overstressing the batteries and killing their duty cycle...
yeah IMR in the 18650 size kinda pointless because the high mAh make up for the higher C rating..

further if you really want to get into the math you can kinda use the math as far as the mAh and the C rating to figure out roughly how long the battery will last...
lets say that IMR 16340 for example...550mA for an hour...all the way up to 4400mA for 7.5min (it's mAh*Crating and 60min/Crating)
so at 5C it's 2750mA for 12min (and my amp draw is just under that at 2470mA)...so it's a good guess that I could run that battery for roughly about 15min continuous (divide that 15min by the average seconds per button press I use...and how many button presses I take in an hour) so if I take 3second button presses that 15min is good for 300 buton presses
and I'm still not overstressing that battery...
For that reason the batteries I listed are the only batteries I will buy for vaping...depending on what new stuff comes out... any 18650 above 2200mAh, the AW 3V LiFePo4 (CR123a size), and the AW 3.7V IMR LiMN (CR123a size)
And the yellow 3V tenergy LiFepo4?...an absolutely not for me...their max drain rate is <.55A...6V amp draw with one of your 4.5Ω HV atties is 1.33A ..so almost 3 times the capabilities of them, carto is 2A so almost 4 times their capability, and a joye 510 is 2.61 so 5 times their capability..

i'm sure i will. they go perfect with my red tornado
