Help finding the right Drip Tip

[ScottP]

I am looking for a stainless steel drip tip with the following dimensions:
11mm-15mm tall
5.5mm ID (straight through)
8.5-9.5mm OD
I would prefer a straight smooth outer wall, but I can be flexible here.

Unfortunately ZERO of the drip tip sales sites I can find list any of the dimensions. They just show pictures and price, but I care less about the looks and more about the size. So if anyone knows of a specific tip that fits this description (and where to get it), OR knows of a site that actually lists dimensions, please let me know.

Go to FT and enter height dimension. 510 - 810 - propitiatory? If propitiatory you're probably out of luck.

 

[ScottP]

It would be a standard 510 drip tip.

I did some more looking around and I found a replacement DT for a kayfun Mini v3 that LOOKS like it might fit the bill. Does anyone have a kayfun mini V3 that can take measurements and post them here? I'll check at FT in the meantime.

FT has pages of them. All with measurements. I was looking last night.

I have just measured the KFM3 drip tip and O/A H17.5mm Visible H 12mm OD 9.8mm ID 4.9mm
Hope this helps

I buy my tips in person or not at all. It's infuriating that these things never have their specs listed; some of them are bloody expensive!

 

[jfcooley]

I'd rather be kicked in the jewels than shop drip tips online.

Have yet to get what it is I ordered.

 

[Letitia]

I agree, shopping dt's is a pita.

 

[ScottP]

FT has pages of them. All with measurements. I was looking last night.

FT only lists outside diameter (although for some reason they list this twice as width and depth) and total height including the part that goes into the tank. They don't include inside diameter. Which is arguably the most important measurement.

Yep that helps a lot. I think that is what I am going to get.

Yeah some of those pretty drip tips look mighty fine but you have no idea how they'll actually vape. My preferred drip tip is the N2, I should probably go to Aspire's website and just order the drip tips or at least look on FT for authentics. IDK what it is about that drip tip, but I love it. Oddly on my RTAs I have a lot of SS driptips and I usually hate them, but not so much on RTAs, I actually find them usable, for the most part and I'm not quite sure what the difference is, maybe it's the quality of the vape.

IDK even, where I might shop for drip tips in person. Probably a laundromat, they probably get all creative with them....

I'm loving my nip dts, probably order a few more for my birthday.

I remove the tip to drip, it's just part of the ritual. So ID, while important, is way down the list.
Important to me is how it feels on the lip. How well it insulates. I dislike metal tips, and would much rather have delryn or plastic.
(got a leather covered one that gets all soggy & feels like a well chewed cigar ....)

So sorry, cant help much with finding the tip you're looking for.

I can tell you what the difference is. The DT is the last spot that controls air flow. If the bore is too wide for how you like to set the lower airflow then flavors will be muted, if they are too narrow you will get lots of condensation build up in it and eventually get juice in your mouth. For how I like to vape and how I like to set airflow I find somewhere around 5.5mm to be perfect. Beyond that, if the outside diameter is too big it is just uncomfortable, and too long just adds height for no reason. The height probably isn't a big deal if you carry your mod in a purse, but can be quite annoying in a pocket.

I totally agree with this. The V3 tip seems to hit just the right balance. No mouth goob, good height for travel and a prefect MTL draw. I grabbed a handful of them after I used it. I want some of the black stainless ones off fasttech but they are never in stock. If you don't mind spending $6 ea for authentic you can get them at origin.

You just described the drip tip that came on the Mark bugs chalice V3 clone.
I tossed the spring dropping clobber, but the tips are wonderful. (I prefer delrin/PTFE)
I'm a bit far from Texas, but if you want one, it's yours.
PM interest.

That is totally awesome of you and I may take you up on it, but I will hold off for now. I just ordered some of the KF mini v3 clone tips from Fasttech. If those don't work out I will PM you.

 

[jfcooley]

Funny, I prefer the longer tips for swimming (nice autocorrect...dripping) and shorter for dripping. (Oddly didn't correct that one...)

I drop through the tip though.

I prefer 810 510s look like long nipples to me

So badly want to comment on that statement, but don't want a wrist slap from mods.
