You don't want 901, you want 801 for VR. There are several places that sell whistle drip tips for 801. I think I found, like, five of them on the first three Google pages...

For what it's worth, that "901" link is actually an 801 tip. The vendor made an error months ago, fixed the title on page, but never fixed the link title. I know because I was the one that informed him that the title was wrong. :facepalm:

(It is still bad manners to link to another vendor in GotVapes' forum without Bad or Danno's permission. Suggesting Google is perfect.)

... my main concern is the whistle tips are thinner so the hole isn't going to be as wide, do you think this will cause a condensation issue?

I don't really know. I have a couple of whistle tips, but I don't use them. They are aluminum, and I don't like the feel of aluminum on my lips.

still having problems with these, best i can get is no mouthpiece at this point and the rubber donut stuck in. that works fine, problem is, condensation builds up on top of the rubber donut, so its not exactly leak proof.i'm gonna order a drip tip eventually. and try that, i just don't understand why this was never an issue with the original ce2's.

yea, but it wasn't with the old ce2, I used them for quite some time, and there was never an issue with it building up and certainly not getting sucked into the mouth.

maybe its related to juice thickness?

well geez, i just posted a link so you guys could help me make the right decision and gotvapes doesnt sell the product.

I didn't mean to offend. (Well, maybe I did... I can be an evil ....-hoe some days. I don't like it when I do it, but... it happens. My apologies.)

I don't like the plastic whistles because they do tend to spit more condensation. Those aluminum flat-sides that you're looking at have straight bore, like a round tip, so condensation will be the same as a round. Best I've seen for comfort and less condensation spitting from a whistle is the new Vision (same as the Flux upgrade kit, yes?). But, plenty of other folks seem to have condensation spitting problems with these, so YMMV. (Where is the "I don't know/whatever/shrug" smiley?)

well one that I posted is kinda whistle tip, but it seems to be full opening, so I might try that for the vision. aluminum isn't going to work for me especially since I put the tip between my teeth, helps save the teeth a bit from becoming discolored.

Yeah, if you put the tip between you teeth, metal would be kinda inappropriate. I have caps. Just the idea makes me shudder. :blink:

Well, try the delrin one, see it if makes any difference.

My personal experience is this, FWIW:

I had used regular run-of-the-mill hard-plastic CE2s for a short while before I found Fluxes. I wasn't unhappy with them - they wicked well for me. Because of all the reviews, I was extremely paranoid about cracking (I hate dealing with leaking juice) though. I didn't like the messy looking glue on the bottom. And I hated the completely transparent plastic tubes aesthetically. I love the idea of being able to see the juice, but those glass-clear tubes remind me of hospital IVs, and once you use it for a bit, the innards start looking cruddy. Those were the initial reasons I switched to Fluxes. But, no, I didn't get condensation in my mouth with those for some reason.

When I started using Fluxes two months ago, not only the little rubber tip that comes with them burned my lips awfully, but also I was constantly getting juice in my mouth. Once I switched to the separately bought drip tips (of all varieties, pawns, vases, whistles...), I never once got juice in my mouth except for once when I was trying out an unsuccessful mod which was leaky if you tilted it past horizontal.

I can't venture a guess as to why the old CE2s didn't cause condensation to get into the mouth, or why the drip tips work so well for me to prevent this in Fluxes. We might as well call it magic (unless and until someone comes up with an explanation), and just go by empirical evidence. Parenthetically, I suspect it has something to do with the geometry of the condensation surfaces, how size of the tip relates to temperature gradient and therefore the speed of condensation and other such things.

I can tell you that the simple mod I described in the other thread works excellently with a drip tip. I use a Ming with it, and it even looks cool. I am going to order an 801 tip shortly, and see if it works as well.

Only times I get juice in mouth is when, after so much chain vaping, the condensation builds up and I tilt it upwards and it sloowwwwly slides down the DT. If you're getting more than that, you've got a leak somewhere.

Ceramic and stainless DTs let condensation slide the most. Delrin usually traps it pretty well.

you must have the magic one then, I am pretty much giving up on these, sad since I have a completely unopened package of them. the new ones suck, the old ones didn't do this, not worth having an unbreakable tube if they don't work. I used the old metal ones and even the old clear ones and none had problems like this. if I use the conversion nipple and a donut ring inside, condensation just builds up on the donut ring, and it does it fast. its not like a little bit builds up after an hour. if I use a tip, then it doesn't build up, but eventually it ends up in my mouth.

not really worth the hassle with these when the visions work minus the hassle in filling them. I only have one vision so the fluxomizers are basically backups now.

I didn't get condensation or juice in the mouth even with the fluxos before the conversion kit plugs, and don't now with the plug and donut method either. <shrug>

i'm not the only one thats noticed this, the old ones didn't have this problem at all, with the nipple and donut, it just builds on top of the donut, i can literally pour it out.

i haven't tried a new drip tip yet as honestly I don't think its worth it when the visions work with no hassles.

If you're using the conversion nipple, have you tried not putting the donut ring down over the top of it?

if I don't put the donut on top, then I don't get the issue with condensation, problem is they leak all over my pants and have done so twice already. because the tips fall out. with a drip tip it might be worth it. although I'm a little weary to spend 4 bucks plus shipping on a tip when its more than another vision costs.

maybe thicker juice would help, I haven't experimented with that yet.

I make my own juice, 60PG/40VG, sometimes 70/30. For me anyway, the ideal set up is to use the conversion nipple, installed by removing the tube, placing it over the cup, and sliding the tube back on; and using a delryn drip tip.
