I have noticed after a week of constant use that many times fluid will sit in the tip itself & linger there making for juice in the mouth when drawn on. This is perhaps easiest to rectify by giving a blow down the tube to ensure it passes to the atty/bridge.
(I've had to revise writing this several times & this was the least sexual sounding way of explaining it, btw, lol).
I have also heard a little something about there being two types of surfaces available on them but don't see such an option when I look on the site. Is there a known means of getting a glossier finish? I imagine sanding & polishing, but I'm curious of exactly what grit sandpaper is advised before a Mother's Aluminum Polish go-over?
Thanks, Nj

For me, the rt angle gets it in everytime...although I know what u mean, but a slight tilt and the juice doesnt get "stuck":)

My TTip at first was just pretty but after using it for some time, Ive noticed it LOVES being used on HV devices, makes dripping so easy and the way HVs eat juice, well...self explan...BUT Ive fallen in LOVE w my TTips and now need an 801 tip!!!!!!!! Ive found that certain style attys I never liked w carts, i LOVE w the TTIPs!!!!:) Thanks again David!:thumb:

If you really want to make them shine, just a simple cloth type polishing wheel on a drill or dremel and mothers aluminum polish will make them shine like a mirror. Something like this should work and can be found at most hardware stores for only a buck or two:

1 inch Muslin Buffing Wheels, 1/8 inch shank: Widget Supply

Didn't want to talk about another vendor's product on David's forum but from what you said, felt I should write you about the new Eastmall High Voltage attys. I've only tried the 801 but it has about double the wicking material making high v vaping much more practical with a cart and super easy to hit the target when dripping since it fills up nearly all of the diameter of the shell.

"Stainless Steel" you say?! Excellent! Can't wait to see it. :)

So, still no custom tips?

How much more custom than brass, aluminum and stainless do you want? No one else has even done tips before.

Actually, I've been hoping he'll do some in nylon as they could then have some give for those of us who chew on ours. And yes...I know this pro'ly has something to do with the way I was or wasn't fed as a baby:)

Well today I finally got my Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish & had received the wee buffing wheels ForcedFuel50 recommended. In well under a minute I had both of my T-Tips shining like golden mirrors!!! I love it! Beyond the buffed appearance I like the feel on my lips & how much easier it seems they can be cleaned. Again it was a total breeze & very effective. Thank you ForcedFuel for the advice.

Here they are. Hardly a Bandit quality pic as I used my iPhone, but you can still get the shine. Again it took me 2 minutes with the mother's polish & small buffing wheels recommended.
Thank you Forced Fuel!!! I love em.

You totally should. With the tools in hand it'll take a hot second, I swear. The look is simply pimpalicious & the feel is way better on the lips too. Super cake to do though, just getting the stuff to do it takes the longest. I saw they sell Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish at Ace Hardware, but online is always a sure thang too.
