I dont know whether you have a dream atty oxo, but the straw modified drip tip does improve the temperature on the Dream, not a lot, (so much metal for the vapour to get past), but certainly a bit warmer. That was my only complaint on the Dream, way too cool a vape, but it does help if you use this kind of method.

I think I may have a go at doing something on the inside of the Dream vapour chamber later, looks to be scope there for reducing the size of it

I need to find some suitable straws and give it a go. Was toying with the idea of lining the upper section with some tubing too but Ive none available. 5ml syringe is too big but the shape Im after, Ive 2ml sample bottles that are loose but a better size. It most prob wont be needed if I can find the right staw. Ill visit the gas spares shop during the week and see if they have any thin pipe that I can put real close to the coil.

I had a go at the Dream, it is definitely a warmer vape, not to the same extent as the phoenix but usable now for me. A pipette was just slightly wider than needed but pushed in well and tight. I cut of the rounded end of the pipette so that when pushed in it would be just above the threading of the bell hosing. I have put red dots on the pic to show the edge of the cut pipette piece. I used the other end of the pipette to give the narrow tube needed to line the chimney of the bell housing. Just cut a small hole in the rounded end of the cut piece of pipette and force the tube bit of the pipette up through the chimney. Trim to size. I used the drip tip from the phoenix. My DREAM double coiled. There was not any room to give any heat insulation inside the bell housing, but the plastic coating on the bell housing appears to warm up much quicker than the metal alone and takes less heat out of the vapour. The vape is much more pleasant now, definitely a few more degrees in the vapour when it gets to the end of the drip tip. Not as much as the phoenix, but there is a bigger distance to travel in the Dream. I must change the colour of the straw, looks a bit rude It also has the effect of tightening up the draw on the Dream, was way too airy for me before. I have just been told that I need to take my medicine now

robbyIf you are after varying sizes of plastic tubing instead of a straw, then have a look in a fishing tackle shop, they sell all sorts of stuff like that. Might be useful

My latest experiment. This is the bulb off a pipette trimmed to fit. It shows clearly the condensation that goes on inside the tubing and that condensation has to go somewhere. That somewhere is back into the drip well and/or the coil and wick on a non dripper. Of course, this is made of fairly thin plastic and warms up quite quickly so the effect inside metal tubes and drip tips would be exagerated. It vapes very well, there is a slight taste of plastic there, may be some way of coating the inside of the cut off pipette piece. It is a warmer vape for sure and more flavour, but just an experiment to show the amount of condensation inside an atty. oxo
