Title says it all, there's so many drip tips out there I don't know what to get. Anyone have some suggestions on something good for a regular ego? Does it not really matter at all? Is it just looks or do some have advantages that others don't?

I had just heard when people switch to a drip tip they get better vapor, flavor and throat hit so I wanted to make sure I got one that enhanced those things. If it's just different looks and they all do the same, then i'll just pick one but wanted to make sure :)

The derlin and glass ones insulate your lips from the heat and juice doesn't stick to them as easily as other kinds. Anodized aluminum comes in a zillion colors but not a good insulator (and can taste like aluminum). My favorite drip tip is a nickel plated copper one I got from cignot and I got another one just like it from clouds of vapor (but he doesn't say it's nickel plated copper - if I remember, he just says it's metal). My least favorite drip tip is a stainless steel one with grooves carved in the outside. I forgot where I got it, but it's uncomfortable.

The one and only that i own ( His name is Drippy) is a clear plastic type from FSUSA. $2.50.

I saw a guy give a review and he used a clear Pyrex drip tip. He bragged about how the juice slices completely down the drip tip into the atty. It looked really sweet. I don't think my plastic one has that nice slide ability to it, but I find its hard getting the drip in there good to begin with. i find the place the drip tip really shines is not the dripping, but the inhale. I take Drippy off the atty, drip 3 or 4 drops directly onto the atty, then put Drippy back on and vape.

Nah... It's just personal preference. There's no logical reason why a tip would effect the performance of a PV.
I prefer plastic myself. I have a bunch of metal ones from buying Drip tip cartos (got 25 of 'em) and I find that they're cold in the winter and I don't like the way they hit my front teeth when I'm driving down these bumpy dirt roads out here.
I find it a plus to look for ones with a large drip hole though.

I prefer the glass tips. They do not change the flavor nor the vapor production, IMO. What they do offer is the ability to help the juice move faster to the atomizer and not get stuck in the drip tip itself. Those who use mostly vg based juices may have a different experience. I use 50/50 juices and do not experience juice in the mouth with the glass tips. Ideally, you want to drip center of the tip to get the juice directly onto the mesh, but if you miss it slides right on down. Cleaning them is a breeze. They are much more sturdier than most people think. The only flaw I have found is you might have to pick up some Danco #60/#47/#36 o-rings to make adjustments for atomizer fit. Worth it in my book.

Try Cherry Vape.com He's got some really nice ones... the Ming and the Pawn. I have the pawn and love it... comes in gorgeous colors. Oh, and shipping is free there. The pawn was $8.

Thanks a lot for all the replies. After reading them I think I'm going to go ahead and go with one of the glass one's.
