drip tip dimensions?

[otis45410]

hey, i have a friend with a machine shop and we are considering making drip tips. after searching for hours i cannot seem to find the dimensions. any help would be appreciated!

come on! no one?

I measured my DCT and it looks like the opening is around 8mm, so the diameter of the tip would be a fraction smaller. My DCT is for a 510... I don't know if that helps

Time to bust out my fancy calipers..

I currently have a RSST and Smoktech pyrex vivi nova. The opening diameter of each is 8.65mm

The drip tips that came with each are 30.17mm and 31.47mm from end to end(including the "shaft" that sinks inside the atomizer). I purchased some shorter drip tips from madpvapes that are 24.92 and 24.85 long.

The depth of the shaft that holds the o-ring ranges 5.00 to 5.25mm. The o-rings are roughly centered along the length of that shaft. The diameter of this shafts range 8.47-8.53mm.

The diameter of the air hole through them range from 4.2-4.7mm

Feel free to send me one of your prototypes for the effort

This help?

Simple Drip tip Dimensions:

Use dash 10 orings from here:
McMaster-Carr
Or a 9mm OD x 1.5mm thick oring
BTW most carto's are 8.7mm ID x 9mm OD, and that is what most holes on all atties are (8.7mm).

Personally I like the bigger ones and there are too many that have the hole just too small like for bigger drips. Some are too friggen tight in the carto and some the " neck" down there is too squat. I bet it's quite a challenge

Here is a little more normal looking one based off the simple design:

wow, i had lost hope and figured what the hell, ill see if anyone posted anything! you guys saved the day. Thanks very much everyone for saving me a bunch of money on calipers!

any ideas/preferences for design, just trying to feel out what other people like, i personally like short and fat ones(i tried to think of another way to word that without opening myself up for jokes but couldn't). also, as far as genesis air hole size goes has anyone tried substituting drilling the air hole with different inside diameter drip tips? just a thought

Most every tank guy will use a 9mm strict tip to insert the carto into the tank, I like all kinds short, fat, long skinny but the one I like the most matches the diameter of my titan dripper. Wide base flare (19mm) to a medium neck with a standard vase tip (non-rounded). The problem with the air hole is it needs to be inline with the side of the coil so that is out for adding one to a tip IMHO.
If you made some diameter specific to the atty like the AGA-T, RSST etc you might find a niche in the market.

The main thing when it comes to design is just make sure it's machined with close enough tolerances that it doesn't wiggle.
Wiggly drip tips are an annoyance and make an otherwise solid atomizer feel flimsy.

Personally, I prefer a bit longer drip tips, because the chances of getting hot juice spit into your mouth by the coil is greatly reduced. Plus it feels weird to have your atomizer so close to your face, at least to me, with a shortie tip.

You'll find that drip tips are as much about personal preference as juice flavors, so your best bet is to simply offer a variety of sizes in each style, if you have that capability (such as shortie, standard, and long tip).

Good luck, designing machined parts is a lot of fun.

Make the hole big enough. Some of my most pretty and expensive drip tips are a pain to drip. Or specify, this is a tip to vape with not drip or something stupid like that.

Ok here is an example, I made this about 20 minutes ago, and polished it up. This is an example of the tip base flaring to match the Atty. Seen here on my magnetic mod and titan dripper....

Great looking tip Dan!
