Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[Riplea]

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. Especially obvious in the red one. Thanks for posting those!

Is that ALL the "junk" you have? That amount of junk would get lost in all the junk I've got.

No.

Another drawer underneath it and a box of mods and tanks in the basement.

It seems like a good time for a purge. I need the space for other vape gear that is scattered around the room.

So when does the bidding war begin?

Welp, Riplea, it appears to me that the material (acrylic?) is just kwite a bit inferior to the real CV tips. They looks less translucent, more cloudy, not shiney, and have rougher general feel. It COULD be that they're just unpolished. I dunno.

Here are some pics. The real CVs are on the left, alongside the same color purchased at Kai's.

Some may be more obvious than others, but I think you'll see what I mean.

Kat..... All my cherryvape driptips came from them unpolished and look exactly like the dull ones in your pic.
They have a video explaining they do that to keep the price down. Toothpaste or acrylic polish will have them looking like your polished ones. I would polish them before calling them not genuine.

Driptips my favourite topic. I love acrylic and I never broke any but hubby has destroyed 1/2 my stash of CV ones by dropping them. Our version of driptips seem to hold their own and if any break we just make another one.

I can start anytime. If someone really wants to pay $20 shipping for a tank you can get from FT for $10.

And funnily enuf, all mine came directly from CV polished, not highly, but polished. There was a fellow at the Grand Opening of VapeRev who was doing their CV tip polishing, but he nor we had the time to wait.

I came home and sat my rear in front of the Tube that nite, washcloth and toothpaste in hand. (I did only a moderately ok job, but then again, I did get bored in the middle of doing it.)

I may give the process a go (again) with the new ones from Kai's. I promise I won't call everyone else's "non-genuine", but for my tiny stash, I like the name Cherry Fakes. It's just to identify the new ones from the old ones.

Wub Wub WUB, Krisma!!!!!!!

Pleasure. I think the green color is somewhat identifiable, too.

 

[Plettschner]

And why is that pray tell Mr Plet?


I think I missed you joining us in this one of the bestest threads on ECF!

Not a fan of anything fancy when it comes to vape gear... the less it looks like something to puff on, the better.

I just watched an old video on polishing with toothpaste. It recommended finishing off with Shea Butter, that I don't have. Any suggestions what else might work? Someone posted they used lip balm.

Any edible oil?

 

[DingerCPA]

FWIW, I didn't mess with the Shea butter. My "Cherry Fakes" turned out quite nicely. I did get some directly from CV, and I can't tell the difference between the two lots

I use coconut oil. It works great!

Hubbys current setup, he's liking quite a lot. Rocking it at about 11w. I played around with tank yesterday, putting it through the paces, before releasing it into the wild with him.

Nice! I got that same mod, from 3fvape or efun top one of those for 9 bucks? Somebody posted it. I haven't used mine yet but I did like the size of it. Glad he is liking it.
