I'm actually not planning on doing any dripping but just want the most comfortable mouthpiece possible for my cartomizer. The choices I've seen are plastic, delrin, aluminum and steel. I know everyone has their own preferences but I'd just like to get a feel for what's the most popular based on feel and draw.

I can only comment on 2 (3 if you count plastic cart tips... the standard ones that you get with an atty).

I have metal and delrin drip tips. The metal is durable but can get hot with atties. Cartos are plastic and don't conduct heat as much so it may not matter. The delrin, OTOH, has no issues. So if I had to choose between the two....delrin for me.

Funny tho. I often just use empty carts (filler removed or never had any) even tho I drip. IDK if that would fit your carto tho without an o-ring (sb about the same size tho). If you like whistle-tips, carts would be worth a try on it.

Don't put metal on cartomizers. Some people have gotten little shocks.

I like the slim waisted clear colored plastic and black delrin ones on my cartos. I usually buy them at LiteCigUSA.net but you may find them cheaper elsewhere.

I really really wanted the pretty swirl drip tips from nHaler and elsewhere to work but their o-rings stick out too far and I cannot get them into the cartos. And I heard if you force them you can snap then in 1/2 at the o-ring. Too bad because they are gorgeous and I bought several. So they are sitting unused.

crappy picture - you can hardly see the drip tips are slimmer in the middle

Sweet. Those are the ones I got from alien Visions - the clear Delrin ones with a slimmer waist.
