[goddave]

jacquif ahhh, I get it. Do you know of any mod makers who would do this for me? what would the drip tip connect to? sorry I'm new to this trying to understand what I need

Hi

Hubby is a pipe fanatic and has tried most things. He now has 2 limelight pipes and loves them. He uses one of these www.fasttech.com/p/4564001 which is a standard 510 fitting and looks very nice indeed, and is cheap as chips. Nearly all atomisers use 510 drip tips.

One thing we have learned is that the longer the stem, the more condensation you get, so get some pipe cleaners

out of interest, what are hubby's atomizers of choice for the pipes?

[goddave]

dragon does he have any really long stems? I'm tempted with the limelight bowl but I want a long wooden or wooden effect stem

He is very conscious of how it all looks, so he still uses an innokin gladius. He doesn't like the wider atomisers, and if your wife builds the heads the way you like them then they work great The stock heads are ok, but not brilliant. He tried quite a few with the right form factor, but the gladius, with my help works the best. There may well be more modern atomisers that work just as well, but since the gladius works for us, then we stopped looking.

It's difficult to find these days, but they have them here (but I'm not sure I recommend them to you, unless you are a tinkerer)  www.fasttech.com/products/0/10009372/1829902-authentic-innokin-gladius-bottom-dual-coil-bdc

The longest he has is the black one from fasttech, that I linked earlier in the thread. Stems are like hens teeth unfortunately.

[dragon]

This is his set up. The shorter one, for "in pocket" wandering, and the longer one for at home in front of the telly. Both drip tips are from fasttech, both are limelight pipes, and both use the gladius.
It is all he uses.

dragon the both look amazing and I am incredibly jealous. I would love one like that but would really want a wooden stem to match the bowl. I have found these for a good price but a couple of the reviews said the tank was cheap so needs replacing, can you advise a decent tank for a newby?

I know that make, we got one, be careful, if you blow the fuse then it's basically an ex-pipe, but otherwise it's quite good.

As to atomizer, any standard one would work, and there are people on here who are much more up to date with them than I am. We are so settled with our setups that we don't experiment anymore. Maybe start a new thread asking about atomisers? If you are bothered by width, remember to tell people that.

[goddave]

dragon thanks for the heads up, it's just cheap to get me started. I'll start the new thread later. Many thanks

[Tom]

Well this is on the way.

Monday, I will be Gandalf.
