I love the dripper!!! I have found if I puff, puff, puff, puff, until it just starts to taste dry, then pump and let it sit for a few minutes, instead of pumping first and puffing right away, it is better. No juice in the mouth.
Don't be sorry about the drip tips not fitting!!! Never crossed my mind to think about it before hand

Besides I've gotten so use to the dripper now, my 801 drip tips are sitting unused. It is good news about making them fit though

And I like the idea of the stainless band instead of the black one, but unless they have done something to make the airflow better that band is still coming off

First thing I did with my mini was test the resistance, then cut off the band
Juice... wow, that's a hard one because I take all sorts of stuff and mix it together then vape it

Probably what is my basic all day vape starts with a base of coffee, then for the moment I'm using Switch's recipe for the buttery nipple then mixing that with the coffee 50/50. I like sweet stuff

My other main vape is really weird. I take any and all fruit flavor juices I have and mix a little of each together to get a tutti fruity, cherry, strawberry, orange, peach, grape, blue raspberry and even a little pina colada, then I add 3 drops of menthol per mil to the whole mix to make a wild tutti fruity menthol. On the more normal side I have two flavors I vape here and there, one is a RY4 type mix, very little tobacco and lots of caramel and vanilla and the other one is peppermint patty.
I'm using the tutti fruity menthol in the mini 801
Happy Vaping!!
