Found some stab wood dragon tips by Odis. I've only found them sold out of Canada. ODIS Stabilized Wood Kennedy Chuff Tips - Odis Collection

They look quite nice, but I haven't been able to find out what resin they use. Don't know if they handle the heat or if there are any health risks.

Edit: typo
Maybe its just me but, its says "Stabilized Wood", therefore no resin was involved would be the reason you can't find it!!! Then again, it probably is just me...

Resin is a term I often read in reference to the chemical that is used to fill and harden wood to create stab wood.

Such as: Stabilizing Resin

I found them for sale at other sites too.

Many pics here: INK361 - The Instagram web interface
I sent a link through DHD's "contact us" page and got the following reply from Jess-Marie:

They sell my stuff but i do not make wood tips. those are not mine :( I would not buy wood kennedy tips they would be suicide. juice swells the wood and you won’t have a top very long lol

So there you go.

Prob a misprint on the first site. They do look just like the Kennedy tips from DHD though, whereas the tips you posted the link to on Insta, do not.

I use one of two products: Bar Keepers Friend and/or Bar Keepers Friend Cookware. BKF(C) is superior as a mild mineral (feldspar) polish with an included detergent (DDBSA) to make it effective against grease and oil. However, it is its 7.5-9.5% concentration of oxalic acid (by weight) which performs the bulk of the cleansing action. Strength of cleansing action is modulated by the amount of water added to the base powder: Less water creates a more abrasive and acidic paste while more water develops the base into a weaker slurry for use on sensitive components. BKF(C) does not leave a protective layer on materials it was meant to be used on (important on contacts and threads and other areas in which a film deposited by the polishing material may reduce conductivity). Once a supported surface has been polished, cleaned and properly rinsed, it can be eaten off of :) .

I bought some Cape Cod polishing cloths on eBay a couple weeks ago to polish my copper limitless mod & they're pretty awesome! It's a little messy cause of the liquid in thecloths, but it only took about 5 minutes to polish it up and clean everything up.

Big Problem.

I've been using the Ruby for a little over a week. Saturday, I used my workhorse for the past year; while, I cleaned and rebuilding the Ruby. The quality of vape was seriously lacking. I've been spoiled. I still like the way it fits my hand and that is so much lighter, but I'm going to have to adjust my builds or get a K24 for it (mod's a bottoms feeder though; so, no very Kennedy friendly).

Received my K24 and Roundhouse and I am hugely disappointed. Scratches and bizarre machining, especially for a high-end product, abound:

I know this sort of thing will happen with use over time, but I want to be the one that adds the battle scars. These look pre-used/secondhand.

What do you guys think? Would you let this go?

The Hastur V1 510 driptip adaptor (o-rings removed) fits the K24. I really like Cherry Vapes Delrin tips for several reasons. So, I had to give it a try.

The flavor and warmth did increase quite a bit, but lost the ability to drip directly on the coils through the tip. I didn't have any issues with juice climbing the sides. But, it did change the air flow in a way I'm not sure I like.

If you got it from Kennedy directly, contact them and send them the pictures. Those should go up under their blemished category. In experience with dealing with them, their CS is top notch and they'll send you back a new cap & mod.
However if you purchased from a different site, I wouldn't know the situation & their policy on returns & blems.

I got some .9mmx.3mm N80 in the other day. Built the Hobo with it the check the resistance out. I'd put it just a little under 23g N80. I liked the way it vaped in the Hobo. I had 23g N80 in the Kennedy; so, I pulled that and gave it a go. Defintely vapes warmer, juicier, dense goodness.
