The one thing i still have trouble with in my vape shopping is finding nice drip tips. Most unfortunately I live out in the 'burbs where there are no vape shops, let alone one with a large selection of drip tips that I can try on my RBAs live. I haven't found many vendors with what I would call a "great" selection of DTs, vapordna being one of them. I'm willing to pay a little extra to get a quality DT, I find it makes that bit of difference that can take a good set up and make it great. The few times I have ordered DTs from FT I found that I don't really end up using them either because they don't fit quite right, don't feel quite right, or suffer from lower quality in build and/or materials. The best luck I've had has been with vapordna's premium tip section but I know there are tips out there which are just as good at a far cheaper price. So I posit the question ... where do you get your tips?

Specifically I was recently at a B&M a few cities over looking at an hcigar Orchid clone and while I didn't care for the Orchid I loved the DT, I just couldn't justify buying an atty I'll never use just for the DT ... I don't like to collect things like that. It was a fat medium length SS tip with a delrin base/core and 2 O-rings. It fit like a glove in my SQR which I find has the most precise 510 drip bore of any of my toppers, which shouldn't come as any surprise since the SQR is Swiss :p

Driptips are tough. I do prefer to purchase them at a B&M. Fit and feel are too important. Online, I usually go with a shotgun approach. I buy a bunch of cheap tips and find one keeper out of five if I'm lucky.

The right driptip for a particular atty and person provides an enormous performance increase. I've found these to be quite nice: Previously sold Goliath Widw Bore Drip Tips
They carried them at a local B&M. I'm not sure if he's making them anymore, but worth the time to contact him.

I just ordered 3 from Drip Tip Designz for my 2 STm's and STn. Nice tips, wide bore, well at least wider than the opening on the ST's. Double o-ring fits nicely in the ST's and I received them in less than a week.

I also have a couple that I ordered from Carbon Method that were also wide bore and fit just right in everything I put them in.

I buy all my drips from Fasttech. They're cheap and for the most part, that's where B&Ms buy them and then mark them up 500%. I can buy 10 drip tips for $10-15 and/or pay $10 for one. I've been vaping long enough to know what I'll like and what I won't.

Yeah B&M's really hike the price up for drip tips.

I have about 4 or 5 of these guys in varying colors (black/white):

I love 'em, they're wide enough bore that you can drip down, and still short and stubby. Looks nice on top of an RDA.
