The flat ended carts...

[delboy]

Hi,
i been wondering if they do the flat ended carts for my e cig or if they do an add-on one with a universal fit.

I think they might be called whistle tips. But i may be wrong.

thank you in advance.


I think i should mention that my e cig is an XP900 in case you hadn't noticed....ha.

I have whistle tips for my Riva. What atties do you have?

[delboy]

oh gawd. Not sure Lee. My attys are long and cylindrical with the heater element at one end of it. I think they have a 301 thread.

While your answering to this i wonder if you, being an expert of 3 weeks now, could tell me if i can get tank catridges for me e cig ?

Also i don't get the point of drip tips. I read that they save you filling cartridges. Yet you have to keep dripping liquid onto the atty.

I'm so confused. I don't think i'll ever understand all the terms and terminologies. I'm normally pretty good at learning stuff. But i'm going round in circles with all this. It doesn't help that so few of the items have self-descriptive names.

Is there not a place where all the items to do with e cigs are explained in idiot language ?

You atomisers seem to be the same size as mine on the tip end so I'm sure 510 whistle tips will fit, although I'm no expert so hopefully someone will chip in. As for the tanks it depends on the fitting, I don't know if you can get a tank for a 301 fitting, I'll have a search in a bit.

The drip tips are just a quick way of getting a vape, saves the faff of filling a cart but you do have to keep dripping every now and again. I find you get a nice vape with a drip tip as you don't have to try and suck through the carts. It's all a matter of preference really.

Finally to find out any info you need just ask here, someone will also answer. One thing I would suggest is if you can afford it get something with a 510 fitting the the worlds your lobster!

Thanks Lee,
I thought a tank was a heavy duty (larger capacity) cartridge.

[Lee]

The tank is an atomiser with a point inside that pierces a membrane on a special cart that holds the juice. I think! Like I say I'm no expert. You can get 301 to 510 adaptors and then just buy a tank to fit. A couple of tank carts should last you all day, depending on how much you vape.

[delboy]

Thanks fror your answers anyway Lee. Every bit of knowledge i gain satisfies me for all of a minute then brings on a whole load more questions.

I think i'm gonna stop trying to learn anymore and vape away merrily on what i have. Ignorance is bliss. And i'm fully open to a bit of bliss.

I will get the adaptor though. Kicks open a door to a room full of other stuff i'll have to get me head around.

Sorry Del, but I've had no experience of the 301 atties that your xp900 takes Did you look into buying the adapters to help make your e-cig more compatible with the many options that are available from the majority of UK sellers?

I'm more than happy to send you a 901 whistle tip mouthpiece for you to try (will stuff it with foam so will just need juice adding) plus as Perpy very kindly added a drip tip to my Eastmall order, I can send you one of those as well. I don't know if they will fit your atties but PM me if you want to give them a go

Hi Chrissie,
what exactly is the whistle tip ? Is it something that pushes on to the end of the cartridge ? Or is it something that replaces your cartridge ?

This is so incredibly frustrating. It aint like you can go in a shop and see what everything looks like. Or try it out.

A very kind offer to send me one but i don't want to waste your time if it doesn't fit on my Cig.

I've seen on a site that they are selling "soft" tips too. Have you any experience of these Chrissie ? Unfortunately the only link on the site that wasn't working was the link to the "soft" tips...lol

[delboy]

Thanks for links - i'll check them out.

(As far as I know!) Del, the cartridge, which holds the fluff is also called the mouthpiece as Chrissie says- sometimes they are rounded at the end that you inhale on- whilst whistle tips, which I personally prefer, are flatter- a bit like the end of a whistle. Hope this makes some sense! xx

[Chrissie]

Del, whistle tips are just mouthpieces(cartridges) that are sort of whistle shaped rather than round. The same with all cartridges they just push into your atomiser - same with drip tips. Honestly it won't waste my time sending you one - I've got loads of them as completely blank ones (without any filling) come with most 901 atomisers.

The only soft tips I've come across are soft tip cartomisers (cartridges with built in atomisers) again I have no idea if they will fit your 301 - the ones I tried have a 510 fitting. I didn't get on too well with the soft tip cartomisers I tried as the soft fibre type surrounding disintergrated when it got wet ater use.

[Chrissie]

Sorry Beeps, didn't see you there

[delboy]

Thanks Beeps - i think i would prefer the whistle tip too. I'm just not sure if they'll fit on my gear.

Yeah ok then Chrissie if it isn't too much trouble for you i'll be able to have a look at one. I'll get a couple of adaptors (301 to 510) and then if it doesn't fit my 301 i'll be able to try it on a 510.
How shall i give you my address ? We have to be careful here there may be some psycho nutter reading this thread.
