Empiremods sells drip shields in different price ranges. The imported Chinese ones they sell and most others offer are the cheapest, but I have heard issues with them being too tight to fit some atties and poor draw. I've stuck with the ones Empiremods make and they look great and work perfectly. A little more expensive, but worth it to guarantee a working product and they last forever. I've read a few accounts of people trying the imported ones and then switching to Empiremods and finding them much better.

901/510 Drip Shield coupon code "ecf5" makes them $1.89 :D

That actually turns out to be pretty darn cheap. Has anyone used these & if so how do they work? If they are at least pretty usable I think I will pick up a few. I am definitely going to still get one from empire but I would like to have several extra's so I can run several flavors in drip shields without spending an arm and a leg.

Those didn't work for me...the draw was way too stiff.

Thanks b0red, I know you mentioned boring out the air holes. If you bore out the air holes to a much bigger size does it make them usable? I wouldn't mind a bit stiffer draw if I could save $40-50 by going with them and they wouldn't be my primary vape, but if they are completely unvapable I won't waste my time/money on them.

I tried expanding the holes on those but it didn't work. The problem is that there isn't enough space between the drip shield and the atomizer to allow air flow and were unusable for me. I was using the Cisco spec atomizers from Avid Vaper. The drip shields I listed earlier aren't very expensive and work very well.

The ones that empire sells are only a few bucks more. Are they both made by the same place?

Also, I should have mentioned im looking fir a cheap place to pick up some sealed 510 to 510 adapters for obvious reasons :)

I would get the Empire drip shields but none of their imported ones. 510 to 510 adapter could be had anywhere and are usually cheap enough to buy a few hoping for one that's good.
