As an FYI, all T-tips, including the older styles, feature the new "Widemouth" design. None of the competitors tips feature the "wide mouth" Design:
Anodized Aluminum Contoured "Wide Mouth" T-tips are in! The T-tip is the only drip tip with a True "Wide Mouth" design featuring a recessed funnel and large entrance chamber which really helps to combat
juice in the mouth and
juice down the side of your drip tip! Compare my photo below to the competitions and you will see the difference!
510/901 Shorty Contoured Aluminum "Wide Mouth" T-Tip:
Why the New "Wide Mouth" T-tips really improve your dripping experience. I tested them with several juices and these were my findings:
1. SPEED, SPEED, SPEED. You'll really see that you can drip faster and more accurately. You aren't waiting for the first drop to drain, you can follow right away with the next drop(s) in rapid sucession without fear of bubbling over or surface tension holding up the
juice at the top or when you do hit off center, you aren't waiting for it to slide down the funnel.
2. It is MUCH easier to hit the hole, especially if you shake at all. Many of us became quite adept at the old version and had no problems, but you will really appreciate the increase in speed when dripping even if you were good at hitting the hole on the old version.
2. Pooling and puddling is greatly reduced. Since the funnel is now sunk in, the surface tension is less and it drains easier. The funnel on the widemouth is the exact angle as the old versions of T-tips.
3. When bubbling up/surface tension does occur, it doesn't bubble up and over the side of the tip like the old version since the juice is no deep in the tip!
4. You get much less juice in your mouth as even any residual juice that hung up around the top on the old version is now located much deeper in the tip.
5. All the T-tips are deburred with no sharp edges and are very smooth and comfortable in going into your mouth.
6. I find it easier to see regulate how much juice i'm dripping in. On the old version, the fear of bubbling, missing the hole, and surface tension, sometimes i found myself dripping a drop and wondering if the next drop went in or bubbled over the side or waiting for it to drain.
Compare to your old T-tips or any of the knockoff brands and you'll really appreciate the improvement!
Also, for those who have the old style, i will, free of charge, chuck them in my lathe, rebore them out and refunnel them to the new "Wide Mouth" design.
Enjoy!
