Hey drippers, come on in and share your tips/gear/etc.

i use a pyrex on my 306 w/ a Provari, which has a drip well, but havn't had leaks so far...

i also ordered an Empire for both 901 and 510 just for the heck... if it's so good, i gotta see...

anything to perfect a drip...!

I was worried the juice would leak out the side of the atty from the bottom of the bridge, as the custom made pyrex is not "perfect" but nothing has leaked...

Not really sure as my cone is almost bigger than my 306 atty + tip so I can't use it, but I'm sure it has something to do with the fact the cone cuts airflow in at least half. Some people find that sanding the top down a bit helps, because that's where it draws air rather than through holes. Could probably even drill your own little holes near the base of the cone.

If you use the delrin 306 Long drip tip from Good Prophet or the even longer XL drip tip from AvidVaper, the tip sticks up higher than the cone and the airflow comes from the opening at the top of the code and side of drip tip below mouthpiece.

I prefer the long, but both work great and keep hot juice out of your mouth. The draw with the cone is slower than without but it keeps the PV practically drip free. I only use my cones when I go out or occasionally with juices that taste better slow and warm.

that's pretty much what the VapeMate is based on.... from SuperT....

I haven't tried this one, and some like the VM a lot... i don't... it gave me fits.. with flooding.. this may have more precise control to it... but hell, i'm fine with the Pyrex d/t..... that's just me.

Just started dripping for flavor testing, it's been an interesting couple of days, but educational.

I'm using the Joye LR 306 from GP's and both long and short Delrin drip tips. Cleaned primer with diet coke quickly followed by a distilled water rinse, blow and short dry burn.

I was IMO forced to debridge the atty as when dripped on, the juice just splashes off of it, not catching/soaking it up....resulting in it just leaking out between the DT and the atty shell (although none leaked out the batt hole).

Final results, I like dripping on these for the hands on and flavor testing.

RE: the Pyrex DT at TheEcig.com -- wow on the price. Realizing they're the only game in town currently for these and quite inventive and I much appreciate them filling the demand for them, and the fact they're handblown, but just sayin', not sure I can commit for that. Dripping is not yet my main vape form factor....yet.

Dripping with 306 & 510, and also (but less often) 801 & 901.

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this ... but, I find a 1 dram (3.7 ml) dropper bottle to be indispensable in my dripping.

The dropper is much smaller than standard. So small, in fact, that a full dropper's worth of juice doesn't flood the atomizer. (Full disclosure, I still sometimes flood my atomizer ... operator error. If I wait until I actually need juice, it works fine.)
Add to that the fact that 3.7 ml is pretty darn close to my daily juice consumption ... and, they're a constant companion, just like a cigarette lighter in my cigarette days. For me, hard to imagine dripping without them. Fill the dropper, squirt directly into the drip tip ... no mess, works great.

Well, $15 compares to the price of what, two or three packs of cigarettes? If you look at it that way, not so bad. And, they work great. Although, stainless steel is more durable. Not all SSteel are created equal. The outstanding Super T SS tips are as pricey as the Pyrex. You pay for what you get.

If you are just now starting dripping, i think you will find why most "veterans" who strictly drip do so...

when i first started, i hated it... messy, needing to drip every few tokes etc, etc...

but after all the bottom feeders... cartos, etc...

there's nothing as consistent, and advantageous to a perfect vape.

I've found ways to make it pretty flawless, as most do. For me, I use pyrex, i use bottles with needle caps for pinpoint dripping... and i have 2 Provari's. I can't think of any other way (or PV) I'd rather vape.

Splashing? you must be using high PG ratio... i have never had splash, but i hardly go over 50% PG... the VG slows things down.

I have used both the reg. 306 dt's and the Pyrex...

from my observations, whether the juice drops down the middle of d/t to the bridge or down the sides of the d/t's the juice pools at the base of bridge (unless i take the d/t off, and drip around the sides of the bridge ... one drop on bridge, one on each side, and into hole)... but doesn't really leak... (those reg. 306 d/t's are tight - so tight that they can melt on to the atty cylinder if i don't take it off to cool a bit every now and then).

Even the Pyrex 306 d/t, a mother of a big, thick unit... like a lamp glass lol... has not leaked which surprised me since they are a bit irregular, hand made (blown?) glass.

btw, the Pyrex 306 d/t i have doesn't leak... it is irregular looking but somehow doesn't i don't know if the Theecig folk guarantee that but i would ask first, as mine may be just lucky.

I've got a couple of the Pyrex 306 DTs. It appears to me that the base of the DT, the part which slips around the atomoizer, is probably the unmodified glass from which the DT is blown. That part of the DT seems too uniform to have been subjected to the glass blower's art. I've been wrong before, but that's my take on it.

Also, trying the same Pyrex DT from the same supplier, on different manufacturer's 306 atomizers, I find the DT moves further down the atomizer on some than on others. Meaning, the atomizers themselves have some variation in diameter, but the DTs accommodate these slight variations. Could be that the 306 itself is slightly cone shaped?

I haven't tried the Super T SS... I do have some of their delrin, as i don't like the feel of metal drip tips in my mouth.
I got the wide contoured ones for easier dripping down the middle... less juice hang up and less coming back up....

but just for those that haven't been following, the Pyrex kicker is that you do not get any juice hangup on the sides of the d/t and no juice coming back up in your mouth .... none.... it's amazing... i wouldn't be without one.
They can be tricky getting them to fit, with the O ring, but once you get the hang of it, no problem... i swear by 'em.... !

I don't even use the Super T's ... in fact, forgot i had em. lol

NCC, maybe you know the answer... why do they offer "tapered" and non-tapered" Pyrex tips?
I have both... seems to me i get some juice hang up lately at the bottom with the non-tapered... it's shorter too... but i still swear by it... they're offered clear and you can see the juice there, and once it is down, perfect vape.

@ukeman: As I said, you pay for what you get. Not all SS DTs are created equal. The Super T DTs enjoy pretty much the same benefits you (and I) love in the Pyrex drip tips. And, I dare you to break one, LOL.

For what it's worth, I've dropped Pyrex drip tips on a hard floor. They just bounced without damage. But, attached to a heavy mod, they can easily break on dropping. No doubt the Pyrex CAN break in a drop, but they're more resilient than you'd think. But, attached to a heavy mod, all bets are off. Though, I've damaged more atomizers via dropping than I have DTs.

Variety is the spice of life? Different stroke for different folks? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

I don't know. I can't honestly say I've noticed the problem you have had with the non-tapered.
