Bruce, did you sell all of your drip tips? I was going to put a link to them on here to show Count that not all great drip tips are expensive, but I can't find the page on your site???

I just took them off the site due to space I needed and slow sales. was throwing them in orders at random. thanks for reminding me I still had them :laugh::laugh::laugh:

A lot if you are changing the bore of the hole & the atty can handle more air flow.
Dark Horse with super wide bore has massive air flow.


Friction fit wide bore will increase air flow & allow you to put a glass dropper all the way inside your atty to refill


Some of the wide bore tips that have o-rings & only slightly bigger than normal holes at 510 connection give slight increase in air flow and allow you to refill by putting the dropper in the tip.

I have found that the Dark Horse and any atty with a large chuff on it will force me to take a deep lung hit wheather I want it or not Ha Ha!

Pretty much been answered but I find that for me, someone who does not do lung hits, drip tips are as important, if not moreso, than the device or the tank. I seem to be able to take any setup, not change settings and with the drip tip being the only change, make it a completely different experience to the point that you probably wouldn't know it was the same juice.

There are those that go for mods or juices but it is drip tips that I always get excited over. I have seen some that are real beauties and that I would love to have but even $15 for one is something I am not sure I would/could do. Right now that is a half tank of gas or 5 gallons of milk. I bought an authentic Pawn tip in a 55% off sale and it was a purple beauty... order got eaten in TX and was over a month of back and forth before I got them to ship it again... well I ended up with an ugly black one but guess I should be happy that I even got one. $6 wasn't bad and it is one I get a great deal of use from. Looks really don't matter much as most have a straight bore from the neck up. Some are completely straight. It is the airflow diameter at the bottom that determines draw pressure and for me it seems the diameter of the mouthpiece directs flavor. I have one with a tiny mouthpiece hole and it is like you can almost direct the flavor at the start of the inhale to whatever part of the tongue you want, wider ones just encompass the entire mouth.

One of my fave drip tips is from FT and called Stainless Steel + Resin Detachable 4-Part Hybrid 510 Drip Tip. I will end up getting another of these just in case I ever drop and break this one. I love the length of this one and can change it easy enough by taking a section out. I generally use it with all 4 sections but I don't like using metal tips when in the car or it is cold outside.

PB sent me an acrylic tip with an order once... can't say it is the most beautiful tip I have ever seen but it is one I get a great deal of use from, it is a longer thin vase shape and just has a great mouth feel for me.

So, so do vase-shaped drip tips make a difference over straight-bore tubes (for lack of a better term)? Any thoughts on the impact of the material other than mouth feel?

If you take the drip tip off your tank and look at the hole... that is a limiting factor of sorts but you can make the best of it by having a tip that is as large in diameter on the bottom as what is coming out of the tank. Sorta think car mufflers. Generally straight bore tips tend to have a larger tip diameter, mainly because to get the same in a vase one, would be too wide for the mouth to enjoy. I feel material can possibly have an impact. It is a feel thing but I don't like aluminum tips, they heat up too quickly on me. I don't like brass, no matter what coating is supposed to be on there, Some of the plastics/acrylics can hold past flavors...did a punkin pie test once and cleaned the tip and dripper with everything I could think of and still couldn't get it out. Then made a clone juice... Fluid. It uses absinthe and horehound but acts like anise in that it removed the scent from all tanks, tips and life was good again. Anise oil was what I used in my soaps for fishermen and hunters, they loved it because it is a scent remover.

The friction fit wide bore are my favorite except when I'm blowing the big clouds. You need the super wide bore for those.


I've got a chuff cap for my Dark Horse, (at least I think it's the Dark Horse that came with a chuff cap), I need to try it again and see how I like it!

Bruce, you have some beautiful drip tips, and they were only 2 or 3 dollars. You need to put them on Pinterest or something and tell people to pm you if they are interested. Drip tips should be okay for Paypal, since they aren't nicotine, and you can always call them "mouthpieces"! :)

These are just a few of the drip tips Bruce had on his site, and they were all inexpensive and of really good quality.

Not really had a dry lip issue from metal tips... seems to be more the shape or diameter for me. I admit that I vape odd. My puffs are between .9 and generally 1.5 seconds, I don't do lung hits or inhale... whatever you want to call it and I don't vape from the center of my mouth... I like the gourd or vase shapes quite a bit... wide ones like Heden's just wouldn't work for me. If I use a larger diameter tip the way I vape, I tend to not get my lips completely around the tip and then dry lips start. Must remember that basically we are vaping flavored pg/vg. Both are humectants and they draw moisture from wherever they can... they don't care if it is from your skin, the air or wherever... that is just what humectants do. So by making sure you get it into your mouth instead of on your lips helps that somewhat... or that is my thinking on all of this.

Yeah, they are great tips with adjustable flow. I really like them a lot.

I have the dragon tip as well. Bruce put it into one of my orders because I'm a dragon, and I had been asking him if he was going to get any dragon tips. It's really nice!

I did a whole order of nothing but drip tips, because Bruce had so many nice ones at very low prices.

speaking of drip tips...does anyone else have issues with metal ones?

when ever I use one my lips get dry....
I tend to have dry lips anyway, so I haven't noticed. What I have noticed is that the rod-like metal ones that come with aerotanks tend to pick up lip gunk and need to be washed more often than the plastic ones from my old MT3S's and even the cone-shaped metal ones on my Evod Glass tanks.
