I had no idea the long body didn't require a drip tip, after all I've read, even on the Sofia sites. Thanks for that important bit of info!

Susan, I forgot to say, I love the Protank Mini but the MicroStick would have to use the extension part to fit because it's got a 510 connection, and adding that would really lengthen the Protank too much. I'm looking for rba's that are not much above the level of the button, preferably with a window.
I didn't mean get a Protank but the coil build is similar on the Sophia as the Protank heads. So if did rebuild any Protank heads for sure you wouldn't have any issues building a Sophia coil.
Yes, now I remember. Do you happen to know if on the shorter Sophia, is the drip tip built in also, so to speak?
Okay, Spydro, you just inspired furthur questions.
I'm totally new to the Sophia so please forgive all my elementary questions. I don't even know what size my Hafling tanks are, they just say 19mm, which I think is just the length.
Who is Billy and can we get these 'upper bodies'? What is the upper body? I did watch one video and saw that the Sophia has two main body parts. So would we just use Billy's upper body part instead of Leo's? Yes it would be nice to not have it sticking so far out of the top of the tank.
Is a 35mm tank the 'standard' size tank. I have a few of the Lil Mama tanks...are those 35mm, if you know?
Just got back to the thread... will respond while assume others probably already have (but I'm not going to read ahead to find out).
Lil Mama is a 35mm tank, the Big Daddy is their XL/45mm tank.
Billie is By Leo and you can get the add-on upper bodies from that site. Upper bodies are the top portion on a Sophia atty - they are interchangeable on the Sophia bases. They now have a short one, the original, and a long upper body - I have all 3 lengths. With the short UB in a 35mm tank it fits about flush with the top of the tank and needs a drip tip; the standard UB sticks out above a 35mm tank about 10mm but would beabout flush to top on an XL/45mm tank, and needs a drip tip; the long is even longer and has a drip tip built into it. Adjusting the Sophia's liquid control is easy with those that are longer than the tank... it usually takes a tight fitting drip tip to adjust those that are flush to the tanks top.
Only have older photo's I can post with some of my Sophia's in use. I have not taken any yet of the new short upper body I just got on a Sophia in use.
On the Bronze Mini at left is a Slim Pro Tank with it's short tube installed, the Sophia with a Long UB with built-in drip tip. Next right the Stealth Mini also has a Slim Pro Tank, but with the long tube installed, a standard Sophia that is flush with the top and a drip tip. The Polished in the middle is wearing a SnP 35mm tank with a standard Sophia sticking out and a drip tip added. Bronze mini again on the far right with a KirF PS tank, Sophia with standard UP sticking out and a drip tip added. The Stealth w/Phiniac tank and Military w/IBT tank both have carto's in them in this picture... but if either or the SnP tank had a Sophia w/short UB it would be flush with the top of each of them.
Spydro, thanks for those pics. Beautiful set-ups. Thanks for those Lil Mama and Big Daddy dimensions too. So a short top Sophia on a Lil Mama tank would sit flush with the top of the tank and I'd just add a drip tip?
Do you know if I could buy the Sophia with the short top and bypass the long top?

The short upper body needs a drip tip. At this time, the whole Sophia only comes with the longer upper body but you can purchase all the components separately. It's a bit more expensive but cheaper than buying the whole Sophia and the short upper body.
Thanks Susan, that's just what I needed to know.
Last question (for at least 10 minutes) - does anyone know how long that super-short drip tip is in mm's by Leo?

The STR5 is 5mm. They are named by their length. STR10 is 10mm, STR15 is 15mm, STR20 is 20mm.
Copy of zbeast08's with the metal tank section because I've cracked too many tanks.
darkgear, those are fabulous pictures. I stole them all. I sure like that real short drip tip.

That is why I have 2 and want 2 more. Each time I go back to a carto I start to cringe. You really have to experience the vape to understand. Kinda like owning a ProVari
I have 3 Provari Mini's. One black, one silver with a black wrap, and one naked silver. I could be happy for the rest of my life with just my Provari's and the MicroStick. I need another MicroStick though, you know, for back-up. Always need a back-up...or two.
So tell me what to order? Two Sophia bottoms with two short tops and two short 5mm drip tips? Will that do?

What is that tank?
Also, how long does a rebuilt Sophia last with 'normal' use before another rebuild is needed?
As darkgear stated, same tank I had posted ByLeo Slim with Sophia, but with the steel tank in lieu of the clear tank due to vaping tankcrackers!! The juice you vape really has a big effect on how long your build will last....if you are building microcoils and using cotton for wicks, you can rewick every tank or two and just dry blurn your cup/coil. If you are going to use the prebuilts with silica, on average, I would say a good cleaning every 2-3 tanks depending on your juice! You will know when vapor and taste starts to lack!!

I opted for the shortest drip tip because I knew the Sophia body was going to stick out of the tank farther than the newer shorter body. I do like the longer drip tips because to me, the Sophia gives me a warmer vape and I like cooler vapes. The longer drip tip seems to cool it off a bit. But if I were to buy another Sophia, I'd get the shorter ones for the tanks I'm using.
So that slim tank will fit in the MicroStick. I think the steel tank is a good idea too, at least to use with our known tank crackers. I need to make a list of what-all I want so I don't have to order twice.
