I like the glass tips from Envision, but I don't know if they are as long as you are looking for. The tips are Borosilicate glass, so are pretty sturdy. The first page of the blog shows the available shapes:

A number of vendors also make "Tru-Stone" tips which are real crushed stone, mixed with an acrylic resin, formed around a metal tube:
Tru-stones
There's also Molehill Mountain: » Products Page Molehill Mountain Art Drip Tips
And Teena (known as Black Raven on etsy) http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...3286-glass-drip-tips-charms-e-cigarettes.html
I have all of these tips (although I got my Tru-Stone from a different vendor) and none of them get hot.
Okie dokie. They told me when they were doing another batch of Frenilla but I forget when they said it'd be ready. (Ok... just looked at my emails and they said 6-8 weeks as of May 6... so yeah)
Heehehehehe- I say go for it! A good smack won't hurt anyone, especially virtually
Some chick named "Southern Tina" just showed up in my friends list...... who the %^&$ is that???
I wonder if that's why so many mods have been hanging around...stalkers hanging out in the Saloon?
Or maybe someone just wants to be more like MasterChief!!!

So one of the two R91s I bought from VaporDNA is working flawlessly, the other is having issues firing. Of course the one having issues is my fiance's! She texts me telling me she's about to through the thing (with the Vari) in the street! I told her if she does the wedding is off!
Anyway she's had issues with it every day. I've rebuilt the coil twice, rewicked, checked that the center post was tightened down, checked the posts & wires to make sure everything was good. I'm not sure what's wrong with it at this point. Mine has worked perfectly for the last 3 days since I built it!
I did notice that the Vari was having an issue reading that coil...even after I built a new one. Ohms would jump anywhere from 2.2 to 2.6
I saw Ed's post stating this could be an issue with the coil not being 'balanced'. Is that due to the coil not being the same distance from each post? If that's ok, could it be due to a post block that isn't aligned properly? I did notice that the insulator under the silver post block is a little 'squished' from where I tightened it down and now the block does not sit completely level on the base.

I have joined the name changers....just to confuse everyone....Actually, I wanted to do so about a week after joining.
Damn, MC started a trend! That or there's a breakout of multiple-personality disorder around here

I had that before I got here....
W00t!!! Nice lookin' pair ya got there...of Vari that is!!!
Those are the only non colored ones I own, they're so shiny! (OK, zenkote is still shinier). I think that Dragon might have to "disappear" it's my Chinese zodiak and not my husband's after all...
Balanced - they were talking about dual coils.
Worth trying to reposition that insulator - that could be causing varying resistance if it's making momentary contact - or shorting would prevent the 'Vari from firing it. I'd go back, fix that, and also doublecheck that the pin is making a good connection - maybe try with no ring if you're using a ring, to more clearly tell if it's working first. It sounds like one of those is the problem!

Back to a couple days ago (I think - it's all a blur):
I finally emptied and cleaned my Russian.
As you may know, I HATE coiling and wicking if it can be avoided.
What's in there now is a 1.4 ohm coil, with what I think is XC-116, though it's possible it's Ekowool - but it rinsed clean, so I'm leaving it.
But following some tips, I did:
- trim the ends a little shorter
- added a wisp of cotton, over the top of the coil and dipping down towards the channels
I figure EVEN I can manage swapping that out every couple tanks if it improves the vape.
So far, it seems to be
- wicking a little better, haven't cranked it up, but also haven't had anything resembling a dry hit
- a slightly "smoother" flavor. It was a touch off before, and now it's just kind of...well, smooth. Not STRONG, but nice.
Bottom line - if I find the cotton "overwick" will last a couple tanks, I'll probably keep doing this.
Oh - and it's straight simple cotton ball cotton. So little that I don't think I'd go buy special cotton for this use...

User error?
MINE TOO Aww Ma Gaaaaaaaawd! <--------I'm serious, this is my zodiac sign
I see people saying that their cotton lasts them days........I can't take it after one. Not really dark or coffee flavors, just gets a taste to it. Even the yarn needs to go after a day and half max
Yeah, we'll see. That would be a problem for me.
Especially if it's "days" meaning "time" rather than mls.
I run a bunch of tanks at once - I could take a week to go through a full tank on a Russian because it's in "light rotation"...
And what I HOPING for is to not have to open the thing up often...every few fill-ups would be OK, but every couple days - nope.

Stalkers...yes! They are relentless. I couldn't take it anymore.
It's official. I am just backwards
I pulled the air tube completely out at first with no leaks and then replaced it with a larger diameter air tube and it is amazing.
I never tip $0 but we ate at a Bob Evans where we saw our waitress exactly one time. She took so long to come to us that we had already picked out food and waited forever. Then a runner brought our food out and we had to go to the front to get our bill and pay after waiting forever. She had no tables, in fact......the whole place was empty. We left her a quarter and two pennies in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head.
They do that to themselves.
You know what happens when you play a Nickleback album backwards?
It still sucks
You had me shocked at "we ate at Bob Evans".
I haven't purchased the glass from Spectrum for the nano kit. I just remember someone in another thread, a while back, mentioned they had them. It didn't even occur to me to ask if it would fit any vendors aftermarket kit. I guess one should check with Spectrum before purchasing one.
Live well, Love hard, Laugh often & Vape on!
