I bought three drip tips when I bought my LR306 atomizers - which are the best atomizers I have tried yet - but the thing is none of them seemed to fit properly. I could get them on a little at a time once it heated up, but I still was never able to get them off. My ultra clear was the first one to break, and the green one shattered when I tried to get it off yesterday. Now all I have is my blue one but it also has a slight crack in it, which makes it fit a bit better but it isn't appealing.

Is there something that I am missing? I bought three more to try again, but I am hoping to keep these unbroken this time. The green one actually shattered and ripped a perfectly fine 306 atomizers in half, and that I do not want to happen again for sure :blush:

When you put it on are you forcing it all the way on to where it touches the lip on the atomizer? I find that if I do that with mine it does become quite difficult to remove, a slight careful twist to the right (if you are facing the hole in the mouthpiece) while pulling back carefully might help next time. I have just been pushing mine on until it feels tight, it never touches the lip, but no major leakage. It comes off easily and intact every time.

I am pushing them all the way down. I am odd when it comes to aesthetics - I do not like the like leaving the space. What I tried before was pushing it until it is snug then using it a few hours to heat it then push it down a bit more, then once I get it all the way on I can't take it off.

I think the next three I will try to open the inner diameter a bit with a file.

    I only have one of the 306 drip tips that I am using on the lr306 and I push mine down all the way and haven't had problems getting it off. I don't know if it matters but it is the black one with the white swirl. It is a bit of a tight fit but doesn't leak at all. Maybe they had a tolerance off on the machining or something. I have had mine for a couple weeks now. I was just wondering when you got yours to figure out if they might have come from different batches.
