Ego and Drip Tip Shopping Questions

[Ciel]

I'm looking for a small ego battery...don't like shopping with websites that I don't know about...looking for a link to an affordable one!

Also I've been looking for drip tips...I like pretty or odd ones...any suggestions on sites or maybe you have an awesome one you'd like to post a picture of?

Been wanting a swivel drip tip and a wood one? But any links are appreciated!

When you say "small", are you talking about a Micro-eGo battery? CCV is a pretty reputable company. I've bought from them plenty of times in the past:

Micro-Ego

As for swivel drip tips, MVS has pretty decent prices on Knuckleheads:

Knucklehead Swivel Drip Tip

Hope that helps.

Nice! I like those both.

The micro is awesome...haven't seen one that small before!
Thank you!

Vapors choice has the small ones for a bit less, although Crystal clear has free shipping.

For usual drip tips, try searching "teena" her on ecf. she makes Lampwork drip tips. Molehill Mountain is another one, sometimes they have wooden ones.

I don't know what you consider "pretty" or "odd", but the coolest one I've found - so far - is the Dragon Head drip tip from v-ecigs.

510 Brass Dragon Head Drip Tip

There are several places that sell an interesting Skull drip tip and a Desperado drip tip (some call it the "Cowboy"). I got mine - plus an assorted other tips - from GotVapes. I don't have them yet, so I can't really speak for quality and such.

Drip Tip Designz has some pretty interesting ones as well, but they are quite expensive.

I looked at Jeena and I liked her stuff.

The dragon is pretty wicked! But yea...still not 100% sure where to get what I'm looking for as far as a drip tip. Most of them are medal and I feel hesitant on putting something like that in my mouth. Haha...probably isn't a big deal...but yea. The rubber drip tips I have now dry my lips out after using them excessively...and they get "dirty" easily.

I understand your concern about metal tips (brass, chrome, anodized aluminum, etc), but stainless steel should be ok. Other than metal, you have acrylic, ceramic, Delrin (plastic), Tru Stone, and glass. Here is a short-list of drip tip vendors I've looked at.

Empire Mods and High Desert Vapes have a decent selection of 'mainstream' drip tips covering a wide range of materials.

Sagewood Glass makes custom/unique glass tips, but are expensive.

Alice in Vapeland has some nice reasonably-priced 3D 'girly' tips, but most are out of stock.

Bull Box Mods does a rather small, but unique, selection of hand-made tips from acrylic and tru stone.

Molehill Mountain Art specializes in hand-made wood tips.

A lot of these will do custom work, but by and large, if you want unique, you are going to pay for it. The best advice I can give you is to look around, see what's out there, figure out what you like. Google is your friend.

Drip tips are simply nicely shaped tubes. Why not make your own?
If you, or someone you know, works with acrylic or the various synthetic hobby clays, it is a fairly simple project. If you know someone who uses a lathe for wood turning, even better.
Here is one I did some time ago. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/canada-forum/349788-whacha-think-these-3.html
It's made of Corian, a synthetic kitchen counter top material. Since then, I have turned dozens from acrylic, wood and other materials. It's actually a fun little skill builder project for wood turning.
There are a number of videos on Youtube showing how to do this. Tin Your Tips just reciently had a couple of excellent segments on this. vPlayer – Tin Your Tip
