I stick with simple Teflon/PTFE driptips as they are inherently good insulators, and don't gunk up quickly. I used Pyrex/stainless for a while, but prefer Teflon nowadays.
When you said that earlier i looked for teflon drip tips on fasttech... they had a bunch of 510's but i did not see any 810's.

    @JCinFLA Don't need any of those parts but you reminded me to shop Geekvape for replacement parts as most of my stockpile is Geekvape gear.

    Unfortunately they don't have o-rings for the Geekvape Zeus RTA (Single Coil). Can't seem to find them anywhere! Guess I'll stock up on Zeus X stuff and use those first.

    Is this it? Preorder though. They also have orings for Cerberus and X.

    I am seriously considering this thing for hurricane season Lit Wireless Solar PowerBank Type C
    MUCH better solar panel than what I have now

    I was checking outt those things a while back, not that particular model though. Most of the reviews for similar items on Amazon were pretty scathing about their solar power charging ability. Like they would take weeks of full sun to recharge. The ones that open up like a book with multiple charging panels seemed to do better.

    I figured I could use one for phones and mod batteries if we lost power. It looked like I would be better off just getting a large power bank and keeping it charged up. Pretty good chance that power outages would happen in bad weather with no sun anyway. To get effective solar recharging would require something with larger collector panels. I'm still thinking about it.

    I don’t have any replacement parts except what comes with the tanks. I should probably get some myself. Been too busy just stocking the big stuff.

    Oh I also got my Republic of Tea teas today. Can’t wait for Christmas to try them.

    My vape cabinet is due today by 8 pm. :rolleyes:

    Here's what I did when I lost power for 10 days. I used my uninterruptible power supply to charge my mod batteries and phone. It lasted the whole 10 days. As soon as the power goes, I shut it off, then just turn it back on for charging. In addition, it's saved who knows how much money in electronics. We have lots of power spikes here.

    Edited to add: The other big advantage is it always has a full charge.

    What kind of power supply box do you have, I was looking at those too.

    APC ES750. It's OLD. I just replaced the battery after probably 10 years. It's easy to do, and the replacement batteries are cheap (under $20).

    I am on my phone right now and I am not good with using the interwebs on it to search and copy/paste links. But if you search "510 heat" and "810 heat" they should come up. There are probably some 810 to 510 and 510 to 810 adapters mixed in there that have it too (they are the ones with the fins). Some say heat dissipation on the smaller print of the descriptions... one of the 810's that comes in a 4-pack says insulators.

    Coincidentally, I actually ordered a few variations today.
    The Berserkers have those fins on their drip tips but since they are MTL not really needed. I think I'll just stick to higher ohms & low watts LOL

    Yes that should be them! Thanks! Somehow wasn't listed under the Part and Accessories - Other category but did come up when I searched it, which I never would have thought to do if you didn't post them.

    Guess it's time to put a Geekvape order in. Was there any deals for Cyber Monday through them?
    I don’t know about CM deals for GV. After unsubscribing to most of my vape vendors I had a peaceful email day. :)

    That'll be me the rest of my life I can deal with one more day. Tomorrow they all get unsubscribed... maybe. I do like posting the deals to the thread for the straggler lurkers.

    Can't search this thread right now (ECF problem?) but I swear someone mentioned a Geekvape Cyber Monday deal today. I'll search the whole darn thread manually later but was hoping someone would know.

    Lemme know what shipping you use at GV. I had a cart filled not too long ago but I didn’t know which shipping method to use and I didn’t want to risk tariff fees or whatever they called it.

    For a small solar power charger I'd tend towards something like this: 13 Watt Briefcase Solar Charger

    With a separate usb power bank.

    Pick it up with a 20% discount coupon.

    I carry a separate, small, USB power bank in the car - DW is consistent in not keeping her phone charged [emoji3] It's small enough to easily toss in a pack with her phone.

    At our camp our homemade boat has a 75w panel mounted, to keep the battery for the trolling motor charged. That's worked great for the past 5 years.

    I'd go for standard e-packet, as long as it's got no batteries.

    Thanks but didn't work. I scrubbed the thread, no mentions of a Geekvape sale. Guess I was imagining things. I do however hope ECF fixes the search function so that you can search a thread again. My order is at $80 anyways with just replacement parts might as well get $20 more in there and get free shipping.
