Chipped Teeth?

[SunshinePete]

Does anyone else fear punching a couple of teeth out with a steel atomiser tip on a heavy mod? A spatial error followed by spitting blood? I've cushioned my tips with rubber caps scavenged from my wife's cartomisers, obviously with end holes cut in them. Perhaps I'm the only clumsy old fool....

Actually, I dinged myself in the gums yesterday... The thought did cross my mind a couple times in the car! I imagine it's happened before but no one is volunteering that bit of genius!

There is a road on my daily commute that I will not vape while driving on for this very reason. It's got to be the bumpiest street in the city (although it's a major one) and I'm paranoid about punching the drip tip through my pearlies every time I'm on it. It's a six block 'no vape' zone.

I've been uthing thainleth theel drip thipth for almoth three yearth.

(no problemo, actually)

Not into mods......yet, but I HAVE thought about it even on the regular setups. I would think a plastic type drip tip would have a less harsh impact on the teeth than stainless. If it gets me it's going to be while driving and hitting a bump.

I wonder if it has happened to anyone yet.

 

[yzer]

Using a stainless steel drip tip isn't that hard to do. Some common sense does have to apply. I drive a WRX with a firm suspension and wait to vape after I pass over a bumpy stretch of road. I suppose stainless steel drip tips aren't for everyone. Anyone who has put the lit end of a cigarette into their mouth (for instance) may want to use soft plastic tips.

I do.....I really do

A Sigelei Zmax V5 is shorter than most 18350-18650 VV/VW mods but is much heavier than most due to the double thickness stainless steel tube needed for a strong telescopic design. I've vaped one for almost a year and a half with a stainless steel drip tip while driving a car, a boat, walking, etc. and have never chipped a tooth.

Haha. Nice.

wide drip tips are harder to slip thru between the lips.. i specifically use them to help protect $3k in dental work.. plus they look really cool.

I banged my tooth pretty good the other day while driving over a bump I didn't see coming. Using a ProVari with a Russian and a metal drip tip. Hurt like heck, but, no lasting damage!

I use these:

$7.31 POM Drip Tips for 510 / ViVi Nova / DCT (5-Pack) 5-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

They come in black/white, standard/hybrid and wide/standard bore. They fit snuggly on all of my atomizers and they insulate your lips from any excess heat produced by the atomizer.

You can check out what it looks on my Gnome:

HEY! GREAT IDEA!! Now I know what to do with all those cute little Blu caps!

Since I'm also a piercer/pierced, I'm used to having metal in my mouth. My teefs were damaged goods about 13 years ago. But I don't really care for the sensation of the metal clearo tips between my teeth, so problem solved thanks to you.

 

[SunshinePete]

I think you've had a warning

exactly why i have $3k in dental work.

I only use metal tips when sitting quietly in my own home. If I intend to lift a finger (other than to vape or to use my computer), I choose plastics or wood.

Driving and bangin my provari into the front teeth cause of a pothole is something you only do once. I'm now more conscious to when to take a vape while I'm driving.

Just last week I was vaping in bed when my husband rolled over and accidentally wacked me in the hand hard. Slammed that drip tip right into my teeth. Luckily no damage.

This is nothing new. One day he'll be the death of me.
