You don’t expect ME to answer in 1 or 2 sentences do you? :slight_smile: I’ll try to be brief.

The tip depends on the tank or RDA. If it’s one that runs hot then my main focus is a 2 material tip such as delrin/ss, metal/glass, metal/acrylic. If it is not an overly hot topper then looks is the biggest thing. The thing I hate more than any other is a tip that gets so hot it’s uncomfortable on my lips. For that reason I have a couple of drip tips that to me beat the rest for keeping cool. Metal 510 with thick acrylic mouthpiece. Stays cool far longer than any other.

I personally have not found the taste/air ratio all that impactful. The narrower ones may well produce better flavor, but when they impede air flow I’m giving up something to gain something and to me I give more than I get, so not an issue.

As for looks, again the metal/acrylic is my fav. Second is metal/pyrex but only tinted pyrex. If it’s completely clear I think its ugly when condensation develops.

At the moment I’m working on a project for making custom tips from briar wood. I still need to acquire a couple of tools so it could be a while, but once I get that going I’ll post some pix and impressions.

I’ve been looking also and cant find one I like better than the one thats comes on the I sub G tank. I use it on all my tanks even my crown, don’t care that much for the original tip. It’s made of delrin covered in SS and it stays cool even on hot vapes.

I like the wood ones. I can make them in almost any shape and they stay cool. Most importantly, the natural properties of wood fight bacteria. The end that fits in to my RDA is slightly tapered so I can wedge the end in and tilt the stem (allows me to know where my coil is) toward my single coil side. This keeps the wick moist while I tip the coil side downward during a vape. I have made tips out of different hardwoods, but find Brazilian Rosewood to be one of the most attractive color/grain material.

Any pictures of these tips? Do you make to order?

Continuing the discussion from I'm needing help with drip tips:

Yes.

Sorry, I do not make to order. You can google:" Vape: wood drip tips" and find similar.

Thanks mate. :+1:

I received a shipment from FT of some tips I ordered recently…check these out:

Yeah, that one at the bottom… What the hell? Hook that think up to a shop vac, I guess…
So far, I ONLY like these:

They range in price from like $1-2, so I’m cool with it…local Vape shops charge $5-20, and I am NOT cool with that, so…

I’ve heard “Brazilian rosewood” more than a couple times over the last month when referring to vape gear…but I’ve been under the assumption that Brazilian rosewood is illegal? I know Gibson can’t use it!

Yes, it is illegal to harvest. Grandfathered “old stock” ok to sell if it can be verified that it is old stock before the harvest ban. I purchased a small supply years ago and glad I did.

My favorite drip tips by far. I have a bunch of these, Teflon, Pom, and resin. They are friction fit and extremely wide bore.

Aww man… @daath How do I do one of those fancy picture posts!

It’s called oneboxing - not all sites are supported… If it’s supported, putting the link on a line by itself is enough to do the fancy display thing :slightly_smiling: If not - well, then you just get a link :slightly_smiling:

@SthrnMixer where did you get that drip tip you sent me for Christmas I really like it !

Not sure who makes them, but I got it from a local vape shop. And apparently it’s a local artisan.

I’ve been wondering if you used that and if you dressed up your tank with those o-rings. Did you? I’d love to see a photo :slight_smile:
