There's one other available without the wood burl:

Any time you are talking about hand making a drip tip whether it is glass, all brass, wood, whatever you are looking at a goodly amount of the artist's time in design, lathe turning or blowing, insuring it will fit correctly in the cartomizer and then polishing and finishing...ain't going to be cheap. At the same time I like nice things, that drip tip is about as much I was spending on cigarettes in just 2 days so to me it is worth it.

I figure this...

i thought the reason behind CF was weight reduction. makes no sense having a CF drip tip with brass base material.
how heavy is it?

Your reading way to much into this. Its a cool custom accessory, I dont think the maker was thinking the .000000000000001 lbs of brass would make your mod top heave or not;-) Its CF because it looks cool not to be light weight.

Believe it or not but some folks like things to look nice just for aesthetics. I, and some other, like the look of polished carbon fiber. Same reason you probably own clothing other than a white shirt and black pants.

Curious if carbon fiber will create a taste when used. Has anyone used one before?
Its a brass core the carbon fiber is uncased in resin is what the sight said. So really its not much different than the SS or other polly DTs we use. We drink water from brass fittings on copper pipes so I dont imagine it would hurt us to vape with it.
