Thank you for confirming that! The visuals really help. I was a bit torn about adding the optional tube, but not now--I'll skip it and get the Sophia a 45 mm tank. At a 19 mm tank diameter, the extra tank length should just about offset the Sophia's lesser internal liquid compared to that in a 35 mm carto. :thumbs:

Yeah. I don't use the tank above but at the time it was my only 35mm so I had a photo shoot demo.

Couple more shots. Both stock and 45mm tanks.

That vela is a 15mm tip.

received my sophia yesterday...vaped all day with the included coil...today rebuilt my own coil...everything went well until i tried to put the ceramic cup back in...wasn't going in so i used some force and broke the damn thing....anybody know if i can get replacement ceramic cups in the states somewhere?? Avid vapor is out of stock and doesn't look like they will carry it anymore...anyone got an extra they wanna sell me???

Oh my god, that's the worst thing I've heard all week! :( Send me a PM with your address and I will send you one. I think I might cry.


I'm pretty sure the Killer cup is a little larger than the Sophia cup. At least the cup from the Killer clone I have. It wouldn't fit in my Sophia.

I never boiled my analogs so I don't boil my organic cotton!

For me it isn't an issue of impurities that I'm concerned about. With cotton balls I personally find that after a boiling they become much softer and fluffier and wick better. As for the SnC yarn, I have only used stuff that I boiled for 20 min. I may try some that isn't boiled to see the difference.

How long do you boil the cotton balls and how do you dry them after?

never tried yarn I'm good with cotton. With Boba's Bounty I need to change the cotton and dry burn about every 3-4 days.
Boy I can't wait till my My Point gets here!

Cotton balls and Spheroids don't work so well , and I can't stand silica anymore so cotton yarn it is.

On the other hand, I think there are others (like me) who have no issue using cotton ball wick in Spheroid. I have long wick that curls against the filler material (like curl mustache) and wicks fine.

I could maybe see running it like that. I'm enjoying the Sugar n Cream yarn in there though.
