@AnthonyB - Here's some more Acrylic Ming Drip Tips. They're less expensive, but the material and shape appears to be the same.

Acrylic contoured vase drip tip - 510/901/KR808d-1 | SmokTek.com - Appears only Yellow is available now in 100% acrylic, but there are 12 different Ming Vase shaped ones on the same page...made of varying materials

Acrylic Ming Vase Drip Tip for 510 | 808D-1 | 901 - 3 different solid colors available

Acrylic Ming Drip Tip - Has 13 different swirled colors marked down to $1.25 each

There are plenty of different Ming variations and some cheaper knock off ones out there but the original Ming’s are made of good quality and feel a little thicker than the cheaper alternatives.

JC in FLA, very nice of you to provide links to other Ming tips! I did (ONCE) buy what looked JUST like CV Mings, and I can't even begin to say how different (inferior) they were. (PM me if anyone wants to know the site.)

Anthony, I agree with you. CV does have the absolute market on quality Mings and I do believe they will go down in our vapistory as such.

The other sites (again, thank you JC) have some cute tips, particularly the last link, but they simply are not CVs.

A couple-few decent things have come from the little town...

    What little red o-rings for the P3? Did I miss that post about them?

    I never even noticed that oring. I checked the link in the other thread but you have to order 100 of them and I think I will just take my chances and not order. I don't actually use the P3's much anyway.

    And you call yourself a vaper??? :eek:

    ;)

    Just don't be a dope like me and try taking it off just to clean the pin & cap. Wait until the alcohol eventually kills it, instead of trying to protect it. If you're not vaping it that much anyway (as you said), you may never even need to clean it up.

    Besides - if ECF is still here, you'll be able to find some. :D

    Here's a better pic. Kanger Aerotank Turbo on a stainless P3. My current fretting table setup. Industrial strength tootling!

    The Aerotank Turbo can also be used as a steeping barrel. Instant taste samples!View attachment 814031

    I like the symmetry between the tank and the Tatroe Ring (I'm assuming they match up). I have to admit that it took a minute, because top heavy is something my eye normally frowns upon. It's definitely different, and in an interesting sort of way too. :thumb:

    Turns any SS tube mod into a lethal weapon!

    But seriously, I bought it because I saw one for $5, and said to myself "I've got a whole bunch of those coils..."
    Which is good, since it uses two of them at a time.

    But after trying it, I'm somewhat impressed. It is, of course, a very airy tank, almost carto-like, and brings out the flavor in a very carto-like way. But with a tight enough draw setting, it produces a pretty well concentrated cloud.

    It's found a home (currently) in my shop.

    LOL!

    Yeah - I had an original Aero back when they first came out. It set me on a path of a change (from cartos) that I never expected to take. I liked it. :)

    The Aerotank Turbo is an example of an excellent idea taken to silly lengths. Which seems to be all too common in the vape equipment business.

    I'm rather fond of "silly" sometimes (but I guess that's obvious). :blush:

    Hmmm...If you only ONCE bought other ones...how do you know all of the rest are inferior? Seems I've inadvertantly stepped on some toes and posted links to things that must surely be crap. Won't happen again. Thanks for the heads-up. ;)

    It looks like Cherry Vapes still has a page with Ming drip tips still available. They even have seasonal and occasion releases like Xmas Ming’s but I am not sure if these are old releases that just sit on the website.

    Nothing compares to a genuine acrylic Ming drip tip.

    I still use the Aerotank and aerotank mini. Still great vapes, still wonderful flavour and right up there with Aspire Nautilus and Enduras.

    Show me a pod mod that has better flavour than aerotanks and I will use them as door stops and to pick lint out of my ears!

    PS: The Turbo was S H I t lol - crazy and gimmicky

    Awww don’t be sad. They were useful links. You reminded me of the museum of antiquated and hard to find vintage gear that is Smoktek and you inadvertently had me finding Cherry Vapes that actually sells and makes the original Ming I am currently using.

    If you didn’t post that I would not have known that quality acrylic mings are cloned with cheap knock offs.

    Okay guys here is another vintage setup not quite as vintage. For me it marked the modern era of vaping where we could actually start building our own coils.

    Aw, JC. I do believe that you may have mistook an intended compliment to a specific and deserving vendor, as an insult to everyone else, possibly even including yourself (which is SO not the case). You should know Kat's collection (mine too, for that matter) well enough to know that she's got tips of ALL shapes, sizes, & prices, and we both use (and REALLY like) them all.

    Heck - Dessert Vapes' $.79 cent jobbers are some of our absolute favorites!

    Knowing her as I do, I have zero doubt that she was simply trying to point out that Cherry Vapes makes a quality product, and it shows. Yes, they charge for it too. But if someone truly wants a CV product, their best bet may be to just get the CV product (and pay for it).

    Again, that's NOT to say ANYTHING is "bad", just that CV is noticeably good.

    So, paying homage to a company who has worked hard to do something well, and has obviously done a good job of it. That's it - cut & dried. NO offenses intended.

    If I'm wrong, she'll correct me (no doubt), but since drip tips have been such a common topic for us, I'm fairly confident that I'm on target.

    It truly saddened me to see you upset by it. I'd have thought you know both of us better than to think she was slapping at you.

    It looks like Cherry Vapes still has a page with Ming drip tips still available. They even have seasonal and occasion releases like Xmas Ming’s but I am not sure if these are old releases that just sit on the website.

    Very much (online presence). :thumbs:

    Yeah - they're still around. They shut down the shop in Port Chester (unfortunate but understandable), but they're still very much present in the vape game, particularly in the advocacy area. Good folks, from what I've observed.

    I may be biased due to the geography, and I admit that much.

    Oh! Oh! I know!!! She has (or HAD?) at least one of those. I can't remember the name though. Baron, maybe? Or Dripper Pro? Something By Leo.

    Didn't it need (or could use) ceramic thingies or something like that?

    Oh - thinking is giving me a headache. ;)

    @Katdarling - vert de ferk is this thing again? I know I should know it (sorry). :lol:
