Glass/Pyrex drip tips

[davelog]

As I'm sure many of you know, there's a company out there called Trippy Tips that makes and sells insanely cool glass tips that are unfortunately next to impossible to acquire - they don't make many of them, and they sell out from the site instantly (sound familiar?). When people offer them up in the classies, it's generally only in exchange for other Trippy Tips.

I want one. While the designs and colors of Trippy Tips are cool, what really draws me to their product is their bases - the bottom part of the tip that goes into the atomizer. Other glass tip makers seem stuck on very short, single-o-ring'ed flares at the bottom which don't provide any stability. Trippy Tips are based with a nice long 'barrel' that sports a couple of rings, so the tip stays snug inside the atty, even with side-to-side pressure from the top.

I'd love to own a Trippy Tip, but it doesn't look likely. My question is, does anyone else sell glass tips with the Trippy Tip style base? I'm not so picky on designs and styles, but I gotta have a solid connection between tip and atty, and this style seems to be the best possible solution.

You'd think I'd be in the hunt for one of these tips based solely on their fabulous brand name, but I'm not.

I'm currently fond of stainless steel and nickel plated tips.

Sorry but I don't know of any. Btw I have never seen a Trippy Tip on their site (other than the $100K ones) for sale. Even when you click "availability" and lucky enough to see any they are not there and the site is either wrong or not updated. I really don't believe they make the $20 ones at all anymore...they certainly don't answer their messages.

They did have some up a couple weeks ago. I remember it being mentioned and went to look. Just could not make myself pay $20 for one.

I've got a few of the Trippy's and they are super, keep checking the website daily, actually nightly Dave and hang in there you will get one from Bert.

Bert just got married this past weekend, so there hasn't been any tips released this week, but he did mention that he has more glassblowers working on them now, so I would suspect that availability will be somewhat better/easier in the foreseeable future. Good luck!

Reading his thread I see there is a newsletter that you can subscribe to receive. It will let you know when they are going on site.

I'm signed up for the newsletter and subscribed to his thread - at this point I'm looking more for other vendors who sell glass/pyrex tips with a similar base. Of course, I'd love to have an actual Trippy Tip if and when they're available, but if anyone else out there is making a similar product, I'm just as keen to give my money to them.

I haven't seen another skillful glassblower making glass Drip Tips like Berts anywhere, and why the Pyrex ones dont have a longer base is crazy,,, they should, as well as a double O-Ring, just my opinion but I think they purposely dont because they are made to break away from a PV rather then break at times when there is pressure put on them in certain positions where it would just crack and break, but I would like to see a pyrex Drip Tip with a stronger base with 2 O-Rings spaced 1/16 or so apart.

I suspect that's the issue here - skill. It must take a very skillful hand to turn out such consistency and durability. If TT is the only place that can do it, so be it - I'll bide my time until I can score the genuine article... but if there's another vendor out there that can produce a long-barreled base that won't fall out with a gust of wind, I'm in.

I drop my pv too much to own one of these but they sound awesome. I have always marveled at what people can do with molten glass and a large hollow rod. how in the heck they do it puzzles me.

Yup, I have the 510's from theecig as well - they're pretty much who I'm alluding to in the OP. I love the feel of Pyrex, but the bases just don't work for me. I need something sturdier.

Lee will enjoy them, I'm sure

But I still want to know what the one on the left is. It would look AMAZING on my burl Mini Woodvil.
