Sure! Because the term 510 drip tip sounds a little weird to me, I described it as accepting a standard drip tip

Me toooo !
There is no threading on a drip tip !
Exactly! While I understand what they mean, just stating a standard drip tip is not always perceived. But I will insist
I'd stick to calling it 510 for the sake of sheer convenience. Everybody imdtly understands the size/shape/form we are referring to.
If this is true, why saying standard drip tip is not perceived immediately by everybody as my post above?
I think when the terminology is rather symbolic in meaning as with 510 than a well reasoned one like the conventional (standard) drip tip, then somebody from every side will always feel confused, even by the existence of 2 terms for the same item.
When I hear 510 drip tip, I imagine it with threaded bottom, but try to visualise a 510 connection with o-rings. Maybe we should make one to justify the 510 drip tip.
PS
No pun intended for those who use the 510 term, I fully understand what they mean, but for the sake of the discussion, I analyse my own reasoning. We can call it whatever we like at the end of the day, it is a matter of consensus.

That's a nice picture, but I fail to see how it supports appending a false moniker of "510" to "drip tip" or why it's convenient to do so. I guess that when you see people calling something by the wrong name, you can choose to correct and educate them or I guess adopt the wrong name yourself in perpetuity for convenience. The latter doesn't seem like the right thing to do IMO.

Well...you could always say 510/808/901 Drip Tip which actually would be more proper
Hahaha! I could take the first digits and call it 589 drip tip as a mnemonic for all the connections! But what about the hybrid ones, I have to put the GPin as well somewhere ... Hmmm ... it becomes more and more irrational, because the 510 drip tip as a term was initially built on a vague resemblance of a shape of a part irrelevant to the drip tip itself. Maybe it came from China, as a simplification lost in translation. Does anyone know the origin of the term?
It fit the 510, the 808 and the 901's - back in the cig-alike days when we got tired of aquarium foam and pyramid tea bags and just started dripping.
people started out using the gripper on the end of a pen as the carts for the attys back then weren't drip friendly

One of the first threads about wanting tips in the Modding Forum : Why doesn't anyone sell a hollow mouthpiece for direct drippers?
that was Feb 2010
This was Sept 2009 :

And I thought I was the only one that hears "510 drip tip" and think "510 connection". These two numbers present a shift in thinking that I never wrapped my head around.
Thanks for posting it! It is a perfect reminder that the proper name should be Super T connection for a drip tip than anything else. Chinese made the 510 connection, but Dave invented the drip tip with o-rings we use today.
That is hysterical when you think about the changing times. Today everybody and their brother has drip tips in every shape, color, and material. But....so many are from China.
Thank you class for the flashback. Many don't remember
After this discussion, nobody will dare to ask here anything ever again
Thank you so much all for your contribution!
