Yes drip tip will have performance diffrence for example glass or delrin will not burn your lip if you chain vape. Or bigger bore drip tip will give you better lung hits and last yes it also make your tank looks awesome.

What he said.

Also, different drip-tip materials act and feel differently. Personally I really don't like metal drip tips because I don't like how they feel on my lips, as well as a sharp taste I get from some of them. Also, I think they can cool down the vapor too much.

Instead, I really like the cheap plastic ones, which feel comfortable and provide a warmer vape.

I always thought the flat-ended drip tips looked bogus (you know, like those plastic-tipped small cigars) but I tried one recently, and actually found it very comfortable.

There are as many drip tips to choose from as there are juice flavorings. Isn't it wonderful? I have an assortment of different kinds and I will say if you are looking for a cooler vape. . . a longer drip tip will do real good. A much cooler vape for me atleast. I know they can be very expensive but I have gotten some very good ones through Fasttech.com. Very reasonably priced. I prefer the stainless steel myself but in the cold weather there are silicone ones that are awful nice. Good luck to you and happy vaping.

Also, for the Nautilus tanks it looks like it's trial and error on finding one that will fit into the tank properly. Unfortunately, that tank seem to be a tiny bit bigger than most standard sized drip tips. If you're not able to try out some tips in an actual store, then maybe you should do a quick search on that issue to see if there are any that other people recommend are a good fit for the Nautilus. :) (I ordered a couple different ones to try with mine, but they haven't gotten here yet, so I can't offer any specific ones. Sorry!)

I usually use chuff top caps instead of 510 drip tips, but on the occasions that I do use a 510 sized tip it is either the Vapetasia wide-bore friction tip or the CherryVapes Cloud-chaser friction tip. I actually have a CherryVapes tip in my Billow right now, which is a device that can't really be opened wide-bore due to the way the top cap is designed, but I just like the way that tip feels.

Hi,

The driptips are a subjective thing.

Currently I'm using the straight one from my Mini ProTank 3 on my GeniTank as I love it!
- The GeniTank tip seems a bit too thick for me.

The missus on the other hand, just got a plqstic tip, because she's worried about chipping her teeth - Valid concern, so we addressed it.

Flavour wise, I prefer the smaller bore when not dripping.

My thoughts exactly, I should have just quoted your post.
 
Certainly the length of the tip affect the warmth of the vapour, and the size of the hole affects the airflow.

I don't like metal or plastic, or ceramic. I find all of them affect the flavour. I haven't tried wood but I imagine that would too. I use only glass and stone these days.

Maybe I should try that too and see if it's better than metal.

I find they make a surprising difference!
When trying a new atomizer, I'll usually pop a few different tips on, and pick a favorite or two that I then mostly use with that device.
I have accumulated quite a collection, but many of them were $3, tacked on to FastTech orders - so if I buy 2 or 3 and end up using one of them regularly, it's still a reasonable expense. I have a few that cost more, but they're not necessarily better...

Ditto. I started a tip search myself a couple of days ago. After getting a new tank that I like very much, only to realize - how much I was Not liking the Big, Fat, Cold Metal tip. It will sport a plastic tip as soon as I can get my hands on one. Definitely affecting overall enjoyment.

That's what makes the world go round - lots of different views/likes/dislikes.

And yeah - I really do taste the metal. N.G.
