Cannot stand metal tips on my ProTanks and X9! Anyone find a fix?

[Rob4092]

I realize ProTank 2 is out there but I have these with the metal tip and I don't want to toss them. Has anyone figured out a way to rubberize these metal tips? I was thinking about Plasti-Dipping them but didn't know if this was safe (health wise).

Cut a hole in the silicone cover that came with it, it's softer on the teeth as well... Or buy a plastic, or a soft tip..

Plasti-Dip = Nasty

Try Clear Nail polish

I have the same issue with Chrome or Aluminum

This guy's powdercoating one. The pic is the one that came out bad, but he's doing another...

What bothers you about the metal tip?

If it's the metallic taste, that can easily be remedied by soaking in white vinegar for 10 minutes, and then thoroughly washing it clean.

Otherwise, you are SOL.

That is really smart. I love the look of metal drip tips and binge ordered some but I just can't stand them as-is. Thanks!

Protank 2--switch out the drip tip

I'm with the OP - can't stand metal tips. Just the way they feel in my mouth - ugh. That's the reason I haven't bought a protank yet (although now I'm thinking about a protank 2).

Im the opposite I prefer metal just goes to show you different strokes. I hate it when I drop my mod and the DT breaks off always happens at the worst time!

Heat Shrink, Not done it to mine but have thought about it, Me and the wife can not stand the metal tips, To me they feel cold. Don't know why.

Just saw these in the thread about hands-free vaping and thought they might fit your needs:

These are .25 but I don't think they'd go over the whole thing, you might have to trim it. Friend Tip
Those metal tips are the only reason I never got a protank.

Sometimes the most simple answer is the best.

I'm not sure if it would work on the protank or not, but when I smoked a pipe I always saw the pipe clenchers talking about softy bits - they are small rubber tips that slip over the end of your pipe to make it more comfortable to clench. There were a lot of people that didn't like the thickness, so they would order tubing and heat shrink it to fit their pipe stems... Might be worth a shot? You can find the pipe bits at several different pipe and tobacco stores - b&m or online.

Same here and I did use heat shrink on mine and it works well.

Would a carto condom fit on the tip? You could just make a hole if it would. Good luck

EmpireMods sent me a freebie on my last order. It is a rubbery tip a little over 2 in. long. Slides right over the mouthpiece on a ProTank2 or any other type of tip, for that matter.

So here is mine, I added the Heat Shrink, Lots better
