Anyone have the link to McMaster Carr for the high temp tubing for the cam-m? I have the first run cam-m that came with the regular tube. Was looking to get some more because you know... Zombies.

This what you're looking for?

Just got a couple of these drip tips... They are clones of the Trinity Copa glass drip tips..... I was getting too much heat to the drip tip on my MANTA .... It works well for heat and whatever the bore is..... its compatible for slightly restrictive lung hit and is extremely comfortable. Found them on eBay...for $8 (saw others for $5 but I like the seller/vendor) trinity sells them for $25!!!.....major difference is in my wallet ... But a minor difference is that the glass is glued into this clone... You can swap out the glass for a ss sleeve.... so the original is a three piece. I've found that the "right" drip tip makes a huuuuge difference....

*Weird I can't post a pic....???

*But Here's the link.....
Trinity Copa Clone 510 Glass Wide Bore Drip Tip

Black Copa with black afc ring looks awesome on the manta ..................... IMO!

That's the one... ECF gets all upity when I post links of anything. I would suggest the blue. The red looks weird.

IPORTANT:
order the semisoft not the soft. The soft rips to easy and doesn't seal as well.

I am by no means a reviewer on the level of SuperX or some of the others out there so I will just post some of my initial feelings on the CAM LBC.

This is one heck of a mod and is the first regulated squonker that ticks all the boxes for me. Power and battery life.

Chowder you nailed it!

Ergonomics -

The LBC is on the larger size. When I initially picked it up, I though wow this things is substantial. After spending some time with it, I no longer notice the size and it is comfortable in size. I do not have large hands. The size reduction that Chowder is working on with the CNC version will definitely be welcomed by those concerned about size.

Sqonking -

Squonk hole is on the side. Chowder used the new "Italian" soft bottles so one finger squonking is not an issue. I actually need to make sure I am not over squonking. Door is held on by magnets so refilling is not an issue.

dna 200 -

Still getting used to the dna 200 and exploring all the features. Buttons are clicky and no issues there.

Charging -

I received the mod from Chowder with a 98% charge, I have vape about 6 ml at 55w and I am still at 38% battery charge.. I will update once I manage to drain the battery and recharge.

Power -

It has all I'll need and then some. The 3s LIPO is awesome.

The only thing I would change is to make the battery pack user replaceable. I am not sure how many cycles these Turnigy packs are good for.

I am sure I missed something so let me know.

Not gonna work well... Duct tape and Popsicle sticks could make it work, I wouldn't bother, it already Squonks too well. The bottles I used on the Cam-m are 21mm, 10-12ml. Readily available on Amazon for $6 for 10 of them.
Thank you Tom. I think I what I was thinking came from someone mentioning using the Italian bottles on the LBC.

This is why I don't do removable cells:

Almost 23k vapes, 600k mwh and the battery still charges up to 4.20v per cell and balances perfectly every time after all of that. I have confidence in the DNA200 and Turnigy.

Also if you do the math that's 109 hours of actual firing... As I said I love this mod.

I have 2 DNA 200s, One I built with a 2200MAH Turnigy and a Efuision I got afterwards. The Lipos paired with the DNA chip have been amazing.

Pretty new to squonking. All I have right now is the 8.5 Italian bottle. Will this work for those too? Also m, I would like to get some more bottles but really would like to find some in US and at a good price. I need 8.5ml or smaller. I know 10ml won't fit because I tried. Any suggestions?

The feed tube fits the Italian bottle tops (I'm almost 99% sure).

I bought some bottles off Amazon (don't have the link handy), which are soft, but don't have the half turn seal like the Italian bottles.

Chowder - Still learning alot about LIPOS.. Been reading alot.. I have full confidence in your battery selection...

Loving the LBC - Its great not having the sag of the 18650

The Italian bottles use 2mm id X 4mm od tubing. The linked tubing is 3mm X 5mm. The linked tubing would not fit the hole in the cap of the Italian bottle. I'm actually looking for some tubing for the Italian bottles as well.

Chowder Your suggestion of the Stumpy on the LBC has been great at .36 Ohms and 56.5 watts... Man this thing kicks A**
True story... Once you get past the novelty of being able to squonk and vape at 200w the stumpy is a solid high power choice. That extra power really brings out the taste of those Crunchberrys don't it? (Chris Rock reference).

After using the Dna200 it's hard to believe this was made by the same folks that brought us the dna40, isn't it.

The power of the DNA200 brings out the flavor for sure!

No need for me to go to 200w, tried 90w and backed down to 55w quickly
