I find it interesting that everyone seems to hate the taste of metal here. I am one of those weird people who enjoys the tangy taste of metal (i used to suck on (washed) ball bearings as if it was gum) and so I was glad that the drip tips I picked up with my Halo starter kit are supposedly metal. I even got the silver ones in hope that I wont get painted ones or something. But it won't be here until tomorrow, so I guess I have until then to really make a judgement on whether or not i like the metal drip tips.
