These are great sounding headphones but it isn't too comfy and can get hot after 30mins of use (since i live in a tropical country). any suggestions on where i can buy some velour pads?

I can't help you with the velour pads, but...
The replacement pads for the Shure 750 dj fits perfectly on the 181 dj. It converts the 181 into a circumaural set and makes it slightly more comfortable. Two drawbacks though: bass becomes less hard hitting even with the Bass Boost On and the mids become even more forward.

are the earcups the same size as the k81?

The earcups on the 181 and 750 are larger than those on the 81.

that sucks.. the bass is perfect to me, reducing it would not be good.. how comfortable is the 750 pads compared to the stock pads on my 181?

They have more or less the same kind of give/softness. It's that they don't crush the ear that makes them more comfortable. The sonic change is enough that I haven't bothered to keep the 750 pads on the 181. Mind you, the bass is still there. Just not as in-your-face. It still thumps. Just not as visceral.
