And the credit goes to scarf-ace! One thing that drove me a little crazy about the Vmod was that with those shorty cartos and the ShiFu attys...there wasn't much space twixt the juice and the lip! It wasn't that unusual for a spit of scathing-hot liquid to hit the mouth from time to time if one was hitting hard and heavy (like when stressed...as if you need extra things to aggravate you when you are stressed!) Scarf's suggestion was to use a knucklehead drip tip. Brilliant! I tried it...and what a difference! Used to be I'd end up "retiring" a carto a little prematurely because it was getting a little old and was so saturated the spit thing was happening too often to be comfortable. The atty was fine and it wasn't clogged...it just spit a lot. Not anymore! The knucklehead keeps those pesky flying bits of juice down away from my tender lips! Thanks scarf-ace! You're a genius!
But then there was another problem. Some of you may know this from experience, but not all "super shorty cartomizers" are created equal. Some are 38mm and some are 35mm. You never know which you are going to get! I've made an order with a vendor and gotten both sizes in a single shipment! I didn't ask for two different kinds..they just come as they come. No way to specify. Anyway...the uber-super shorties are TOO short for the knucklehead to connect on the carto with the Vmod cone on. And of course, you have to have the cone on or the Vmod won't stay together! So what I did was get a straight eGo cone..the kind with no flare. Just a basic ring and discovered it will screw onto the chimney of the Vmod adequately. There's still a gap though..so the unit would rattle and slide some. So I got a couple of tiny rubber bands (like are used for tiny hair braids) and rolled them over the cone and underneath to provide a bit of support. Then I could use my knucklehead drip tip even with the uber shorty cartos! And it works fine! Just add rubber bands as needed. Using the tiny bands..it looks good. You can't even tell, really. Here's a picture. (with the regular "super shorty cartos" that are 38mm...I don't have to do this, and can use the Vmod cone with no problem.) Hope this helps some people!
