Drip Tips that I made

[bmwjen]

Here are some photos of fimo clay drip tips that I made tonight. I've tried a few times to get it exactly right & tonight must have been my night. See, I can do more than just "bling", now the mods that I make are actually "functional". Two of these were made for Friends & 2, i'm keeping for myself Photos taken with my Android, so sorry for the photo quality.

Go Ohio State Buckeyes!!!!

Nicely done! With the exception of the Ohio State theme. ;-)

Questions... what is "fimo"? And how did you cook these? Did you add o-rings? -Magnus

 

[honuhart]

Great idea, who would have thought !!! so many uses for that clay. Did you have any problems getting it to stay in there ?

 

[VWFringe]

was there shrinkage?

 

[Curvychic]

Beautiful!!! You are so talented my friend!! Is there anything you can't do???

 

[bmwjen]

Thanks so much for the "likes" & the comments.
Fimo is a polymer clay that people have been "smoking" out of for years. There are many other things you can do with Fimo though. For example, I collect dragonflies, so I made a dragonfly windchime from a mold I bought on ebay. Fimo also carries the ACMI-Seal AP "non toxic".

I didn't notice any shrinkage.

There are o-rings, so that they will fit on a 510 atomizer/cartomizer.

Julep, did I have any problems? Like I said, this wasn't my first attempt, lol.......I've tossed several, because after baking, I couldn't get them to fit on an atty with an o-ring. Last night, I tried something different & it worked. I decided not to give up on making these, because I watch my husband mod & although sometimes something won't fire right, or he has to tweak something, he never gives up. So "props" to my awesome (non-smoking/non-vaping) husband that kept telling me not to give up. (I'm gonna be telling him the same thing when the ScubaGen co-op parts come in, lol, because kanthol is a PITA to work with. ).

I've gotta say it again!!!! Go OSU (beat Michigan)!!! Right Glenn?
OOOOOOOOO, I got my purple Mini-Xhaler in the mail today! I've got an aluminum purple drip tip, but I'm thinking i'm gonna have to make a purple Fimo drip tip to match this new mod!!

Very Cool!!

 

[Brutus Buckeye]

Jen, you are da Bomb!!! Hell Yeah that is sweet looking!

The Scarlet and Gray add the class! Go Bucks!

 

[swedishfish]

They look great! I love how you did the little swirl.

 

[Brutus Buckeye]

Jen, now my problem becomes, which Buckeye PV to use it on? Actually I think it will be perfect on my GLV Super Mini since it is Super Mini cool!

 

[n2danexxus]

That's too cool. I have a whole container of sculpey and it never dawned on me to make drip tips out of it. Bravo!

 

[DrmChld]

I'll take a blue and purple one

 

[redheadone]

Those are really nice If you every decide to sell them I will take one. I am not that gifted Music wise maybe since I play the piano but definately not making really nice drip tips like these

 

[MissP]

OOOHHHH, I gotta get some clay!! I have a go-go and I hate aluminum tips... makes the vape too cool So, I am stuck with basic black plastic tips.

I think a trip to Hobby Lobby is in store

That is such a cool idea!! Kudo's

 

[lemonshrew]

Very nice!

I've been wanting to make my own drip-tips, but didn't know where to find the O rings. Where did you get yours?

 

[EDDIE D]

for o-rings i'd guess an automotive store or lowes/homedepot...

 

[bmwjen]

any hardware store works to get the o-rings

Please be careful using Fimo or Sculpey to make drip tips. Because cured polymer clay is porous, it would be impossible to clean it sufficiently to prevent bacteria from growing in/on it. This is just a suggestion since drip tips are used in your mouth.

 

[NicksVap3]

im sure a good soak in alcohol would work, or boil... not sure how either would hold up. but if you make um, make 10 at a time, use them a few days to a week, then on to the next

clever idea btw

 

[bmwjen]

Thanks again guys. I'm fully aware that clay is porous. I'm also fully aware about bacteria & cleaning, as I've got a college degree in the medical field. You would need to worry about bacteria no matter what type of drip tip you are using.
