RTD Vapors has some nice needle tip bottles (in addition to being a great source for AW IMR batteries).

30ml Luer Lock Bottle - RTD vapor

There are varying sized bottles that will accept varying sizes needles like this one..

18g Stainless Steel Luer Lock Needle - RTD vapor

I know the 16 gauge is a little too fat for the kayfun fill hole so the 18 gauge is best. Your application may be different. HHV sells needle tipped bottles but the needles are very small and requires a ton of pressure. Tough on the Arthur Ritis.

I have two of those 30 ml bottles from RTD. They work great. Soft plastic bottles. Noticeably softer plastic than the HHV bottles, but not flimsy. I use them with 18 gauge plastic needle tips. Good combo.

I also have 8 of the HHV needle tips. I like them for rda's, but they are a lot harder to dispense from than the RTD ones.

Hey General, I am really liking this KGD cotton you sent me. Where can I order some more ?

That's what I like to hear!

I got mine off e-bay Pop. From here...

Koh Gen do Organic Cotton 80 Sheets for Skin Care Made in Japan Best Buy | eBay

Seems it was the cheapest I could fine. Comes from Japan so expect a week or two for delivery. There are other places you can get it but seems if you want the large package for a reasonable price then Japan has the most sources. If I remember, the stateside options were quite a bit more. That was awhile ago so maybe things are different now.

The P2.5's are old technology compared to the P3's.

The 2.5's were old technology when they were released , Provape is the Bill O'reilly of the vaping world .

Playing around with my 3.1 today , decided to see if I can get away with Clay's 100%VG in it . I dropped the ID from 2.4mm to 2mm , figuring less wick in the chamber equals more room for juice and the smaller coil wouldn't require as much juice to feed it . Wicked with rayon , loaded up with Berry Baille . I have no idea if my logic was sound on this but no dry hits so far .

Not even remotely true. The P2.5's are nothing more than a P2 with a different dimple pattern on the case. It has all the same circuitry. When the P2's were released, it was very modern. It took awhile for them to take it to the next level though. I get this feeling they are already working on the next version and something tells me it's a temp control model but not done the same way as the 40. Just guessing.

Sometimes I guess yuh just gotta roll with it and don't ask questions.

Which part ? The 2.5 or Bill O'reilly ?

Does O'Reilly have dimples too?

I dunno but he's the image that comes to my mind of a stodgy conservative , fits Provape to a T IMO .

I guess I never thought of ProVape as "stodgy".

They would have packed more than 20 watts into the P3 considering the competition if they weren't .

The e-cig market is still dominated by low watt vapers.

but they eventually go more than 20 W ..... I did

Many return to sub-20. I would certainly encourage anyone new to vaping to try the spectrum to see what they like most.

While I'd agree the majority of vapors are still low wattage/voltage, but I suspect that is driven by two things, experience and initial cost... Once they get experience, I'm seeing them all over the place depending on their preferences or interests. I'm seeing a lot that go with both higher wattage and lower wattage depending on the atomizer they are wanting to use... but that perception is likely because it's my own interest so that is what I notice more.

The reasons for there being more low power/voltage users are pretty simple. The beginners aren't going to purchase a higher dollar mod at first when they can first try the lower cost options just to see if they suit their needs. Now that a higher quality single eGo type PV is in the $20-$30 range... why not simply start with something like an iStick which costs in the upper area of that range if not a little higher. So I do expect more vapors to move to higher power units... but it remains to be seen if they will use those to their capability or not. Of course there will always be those that lower power don't satisfy their needs and they will migrate to the higher power ones. Then... there are those that just get caught up in it and always buy then next new thing whether they have a need for it or not.

My own interests now aren't about power/voltage although that is a consideration... what now interests me and I think is the next trend we'll see is a move to more ergonomic devices. It'll be a little bit before the vapors tire of the box mods that seem to be the current trend... but I do think they'll start wanting a device that is more comfortable to hold at some point. So I think the "more power" trend is starting to level out... and the next one is one of form as well as function.

There are still plenty of us who prefer a milder, smoother vape.

There's a couple reviews on this but I'm waiting on more I think. It does look good for the price though.

Lemo 2 Atomizer

 

[kkay59]

David, I have a Lemo Drop, and love it. The Lemo 2 looks fantastic, they really upped their game. If they can add the same features to the Lemo Drop, I think it would be better than a Kayfun, ANY KAYFUN.
