Drip tip - wobbles?

[VerveWeb]

I have an JOYE eGo. I just ordered my first cartomizer and drip tip. Filled it and all went well. I then went to put the drip tip on and it's loose. Not like what I am used to with the ordinary atomizer. There's like a rubber band around it and I'm assuming that goes into the cartomizer, but the band doesn't really stay in or under the end/lip. Is it supposed to be that wiggly? On the video I watched about filling, it looks like they just pop the tip on and go. But I am constantly readjusting it back in.

sounds like it's maybe faulty. i haven't gotten any plastic or metal ones, but i ordered two pyrex drip tips and i love them. i got one tapered and one untapered. i really like the non tapered one, and they both fit pretty well, no readjusting necessary. got them from theecig......

btw they don't have rubber bands they have o-rings. i would not be too happy about a rubber band

Hello, I just got my first eGo, cartos, and drip tip myself. I suppose I was lucky though, all my stuff is working perfectly. No, the drip tip is not supposed to be wiggly, I don't think. That band you mentioned is actually just a rubber o-ring. They're extremely cheap, and you can pick up an assortment at any auto parts store. Alternatively you could just go to any repair shop and they should have an assortment, and would probably just give you one. I'm a mechanic myself and I would give you(or anyone) one, they cost next to nothing.

Maybe you're calling the o-ring a rubber band? They shouldn't wobble. It won't hurt anything, but it'll drive you crazy. I'd let the supplier know it doesn't fit. I usually vape cartomizers with just the little white cap. It's not quite as handy, but it works fine.

You can also buy o-rings at Lowe's and Home Depot.....

Depending on what type of carto I'm using, they fit well, but some don't fit well at all ie. G4 Clears.

What cartos are you using?

You can take dental floss and wrap it around the tip under the o-ring a few times. Test for fit until it is tight and then tie off and cut.
You can also get some o-rings in the plumbing section of the hardware store. Take the carto with you for sizing.

Just wondering why they can't make a tip that goes inside the cartomizer, like the atomizer one I have. Fits nice and snug. Boge 510 Cartomizer. Plastic drip tip.

I use the dental floss trick. I have a few drip tips that don't fit properly. Too big, too small.

Okay Dokay.... seems I'm not the only one. Ok, dental floss it is. THANKS EVERYBODY!

Cool. Yeah, I noticed that problem too with a couple of my drip tips. Seems the o-ring is just a tad too big around the groove and won't let the drip tip snug into the atomizer correctly. Anyway, good luck with your stuff.

For the ones that are too big, you can take a nail file and slowly file around the o-ring-constantly checking for fit. Go slow,so as not to take too much off. You can also purchase size 60/47/36 Danco o-rings from the plumbing section at the hardware store. 60 being the smallest.

If you got a Ego cartomizer then it need the wider Ego drip tip. 510 drip tips are for 510 cartomizers and atomizers. If you bought some odd kind of carto then drip tips may not fit well. Some cartos as a selling point say they are wider and hold more juice.

My clear colored plastic and delrin drip tips from LiteCigUSA.net fit both my Boge 510 cartos and my KR808D-1 cartos nicely. Occasionally a drip tip is a bit tight. The fancy "swirl" hardmade drip tips from Nhaler and elsewhere are much too tight for my cartos (the o-ring sticks out too much)
