Okay, I have an L88B model e-cig. It's a blu/volcano. I have parts from both. Anyway, I see that volcano has a drip tip advertised for the magma. The Blu cartridges are much better when refilled, but they still suck. So what I want to know is this: Is there a drip tip that is compatible with the BLU? I've heard that some parts are interchangeable between the blu/volcano and the 510 models. I'm guessing the drip tip wouldn't be one of those parts. Can anybody confirm or deny this? And if the magma drip tip they sell is not compatible with the blu/volcano, does anybody know of one that is so I can stop dealing with these damn carts?

You can't use a drip tip (at least something specifically designed/sold as a drip tip) on Blu/Volcano.
Because Blu/Volcano has an exposed Atomizer.

What you can do is called TailPiping.

Take one of your Blu Carts.
Remove the Inner cup
Cut the Mouth End of the Cart, so it's basically just a tube (a short / fat / thick straw).
Put the cart(now a tube) on the atomizer, there's your Drip Tip.

The magma drip tip wont work with a blu or volcano atomizers. They got that funky design that the cart slides over the atty instead of inside it. I don't know of any drip tip made for that style atomizer. But that doesn't mean they don't make them

Nhaler has them for the Joye 306 which uses the same style (same?) atomizer, it is a flared end tube which goes over the whole atty.

Colored and Twisted 306 Drip Tips

I think they would fit... but I am no L88 expert.

I don't plan on dripping all the time, but I really don't wanna have to screw with the carts. Even with the pyramid tea bag for filler, it won't drain all the juice. I have to keep topping off my carts or pulling off the cart, removing the inner cart, dripping, putting the outer cart back on, then taking it off to drip some more soon after. It would be easier to just have a drip tip so I don't have to pull the stupid cart off for times when I have my bottles with me, like when I'm at home.

Actually, for that atomizer you would be best off "dipping" since it has an exposed bridge. I use a 306atty on my 6510 devices just for that purpose.

You just dip the atty into a reservoir of juice. I use a condom cap, but many use a contact lens case for portability. Just dip it in a cpl time, put the cap on, and vape.

Kind of like getting ink in a quill pen.

UPDATE: For anybody else interested, the 306 drip tips from Nhaler DO fit the blu/volcano. They're a little bit looser than the cartridges, but they work just fine. No leaks or anything. I just got my drip tips today, and I'm very pleased with them.

good to know, thanks for being a guinea pig.

No problem. Dipping works well enough(I know cuz I've had to dip to keep from flooding my atty/cart while refilling carts a few times), but it doesn't eliminate the issue of not wanting to have to keep removing the cart. That, and I don't want to carry around a contact lens case. The bottle's more convenient, I think. Anyway, I've found out that dripping works better without the bridge, but I think that might be partially due to the fact that I accidentally removed that little white string inside the atty. Ever since that, they haven't seemed to be wicking as well as when I first got them.
