Hey all,
So I have another post somewhere around here about my dislike that metal drip tips seem to not fit in my vivi novas. Not that they don't fit, but after about a day they become loose. Someone had said and showed that the metal drip tips are actually .002 of an inch thinner then delrin tips. So friday my gf got me a few ceramic drip tips and I love the way they feel... but then they start to get loose in the top of the vivi. Again I can actually look and see its thinner than my delrin tips. So.... is there a way I can fatten up the ceramic tips just a bit? I would wrap a little painters tape or something around it, but I vape warm (and the power just went out...) and am afraid the glue on the tape might cause flavor/bad idea issues.

Any help?
Thanks

Forgot to add : I already have tried various o-rings from different vendors.

Go to your local hardware store and get yourself some 1/4" Teflon tape, also known as plumbers tape. Looks like this->http://www.kegoutlet.com/plumbers-tape-1-4-white.html

It's stretchy, just make a wrap or two( as many as needed actually) around the drip tip and turn your tip as you insert it to prevent bunching. I would make sure to keep the tape from the under side of the tip to prevent it from getting overheated. Any excess can be easily cut off with a knife or razor blade.
