If you could pick a couple of important accessories for Notcigs to carry, what would you choose? Try to be realistic 
What would you like to see Notcigs carry?

That's a toughie. I actually think it's a smart move that as a manufacturer of PV notcigs stays with their base products with the directly related widgets (batteries, VVPV adapter, replacement caps) that then let people use whatever cartos/atties/eliquids they want.
Maybe a stock of adapters -- 901/808-510-801, 510/801-808, 801/510-808, in both gold and chrome finish, sealed. The adapters can be a bit of a hunt at times.
Sealed is important. I had trouble finding sealed 901-510, turned out that just adding a dab of jb weld to the hole from the 901 side worked really well (I think mwa suggested this originally -- good job!). I put a tiny piece of masking tape in the connector, pushed a clip through the center hole location, then just pushed a little bit of JB Weld into the hole. 24 hours later I had a nicely sealed adapter, zero leaks. I don't know how many people want to do this kind of thing. It would be handy to point people to a notcigs already-sealed adapter.
(and then suggest people buy a set when they get the PV, since most of us end up experimenting with the different fittings over time)

Agreed Mark, I think the sealed adapters are a great idea as well, shorties would be great. Possibly some xx/Ego adapters too? When someone buys a PV, they want to get hardware accessories at the same time instead of hunting from 10 different places.
What about drip tips?

It might be too much of a personal choice area, I expect. For instance I really like my shortie circular stainless steel, others like longer, or delrin, or whistle tip, or...
Then again, they're fairly small items, so it wouldn't take much space.
Before drip tips, though, I'd carry a few more cartos and/or atties. Maybe some of the Ikenvape products, if the economics make sense.
It really depends on space available and pricing. The PVs are make items, sealed adapters are a specialty niche (but highly recommended), however once you broaden to cartos, atties, DT it might make things more convenient, just not sure of the hassle/headache factor of becoming more of a one-stop PV shop. A limited selection of the most-recommended cartos and atties, maybe a handful of DT, would be good, but if working with the lower dollar items you need to be set up for standard first-class shipping to stay competitive.

YES, drip tips! Specifically color-matched to our respective BP and Infinity's! Now that I've got my two mods and before I get two back up mods to these (one 3.7 and one VV), I'm on a drip tip kick! Picked up two hot, hot, hot stainless steel SIAM drip tips from COV, along with the 3 SIAM i06 IKEN atomizer drip tips. I'd really LOVE a perfectly matched blue drip tip for my BP, more stainless steel drip tips; any kind really!
Jcb, I thought about anodized drip tips too, but to be an exact match they would have to be anodized at the same time the BP and IPs are done. Might be a future possibility? We'll have to see what Mike thinks
I am talking to my machine shop about drip tips now , gotta get a good design first , any recommendations on style ?? there are so many now it is hard to tell what is popular.
And safe since no battery hook up to laptop or computer of xtar USB power out
Add me to the list of those wanting the Ming style drip tips to match the colors of the Buzz and Infinity. Those are all I use now. Love those things.
OOOPPPPSSSS one problem ! USB is 5 volts we need more voltage , I have to see how much we can get from 5 volts most likely 4.5 v or less.
Dmako are you talking about for using the BP or IP as a passthru?
One suggestion for the drip tips if you are going to design them. Make the end that fits into the carto/atty just a tiny bit longer than most tips. I know that a carto sticks out of the M1A1, but a lot of tanks are a bit taller and it's hard to find a tip to fit. This may not be a issue anymore, but before the M1 was born I bought 2 Liquinators and couldn't use my Pawns or Mings because the top cap was too thick.

I have an old power usb power source for a true white light that uses two usb hook ups to get the needed 8.1 VDC. Aka 5+5 VDC limited to 8.1 VDC I have seen plug in usb power sources with two usb ports so this might be an option. Take and run with at your liesure
Wide mouth, wide barrel, so the juice goes down and stays down. Maybe a little extra length for that purpose too.
I've said it before - tank spacers! Something to attractively fill in that gap between a tank and the Buzz 510 top connection.
Chrome and Brass would do, fairly plain design with some beveled or rounded edges and channels on top for airflow. Maybe an inner o-ring to hold in place on the 510 neck, but if the hole in the center isn't too big it shouldn't rattle without one.

What they said. All good ideas.
Can you fit in a LED or two to light up the lightening bolts? Little bling for those so inclined.
