Hey everybody, just yesterday I drilled my 26650 (28.5mm) Tobh Atty's drip hole, to a massive 15.5mm, or about the size of a dime. This got me wondering whether others are having as good an experience as I am with widening their drip tip. So I thought we could start a small discussion on what you think, and maybe show off your wide tips.
I've personally had a very noticeable boost in vapor, and flavor, not to mention ease of dripping (I can put my dropper through the drip tip and touch the deck!
). It's hard to tell whether vapor has actually improved I'll admit, it was big before, and it's big now lol. I DO know however, that the flavor is much more "direct" tasting, it's not spitting on my tongue I assure you, but whether it's because it holds my lips wider, or simply spreads out more in my mouth I don't know (btw I expected this nearly 3/4" thing to be borderline wierd, as it'd nearly be like vaping a hot-dog, but it's actually really nice. It's much easier to make a seal since I'm not pursing my lips, and feels more like taking a sip from a tiny beer bottle hehe.). My thumb looks like a broken alien finger in this picture, IDK why lol.
With this pyrex drip tip (that I'd glass-blown myself) I have virtually NO CONDENSATION, which is the biggest benefit to me. Even with a 1/2" drip tip (with standard 510 drip opening), I'd have a little drop develop every now and then, and once I cleaned it out, the flavor would improve/strengthen. With this bad boy, since the drip-hole is slightly smaller than the actual drip tip (which is silicon-ed on the top cap), the only minuscule condensation I get is from the odd hard inhale and a little coil spurt, sometimes my breath will leave a moisture just like a window, but that goes away immediately. I'm really diggin it, the only part I don't like, is it's essentially fixed to the top cap, it will come off without leaving any silicone, however I'll have to re-fix it on.
I've also noticed that my atty stays alot cooler when I have a sub-ohm/hot build in it (which is basically all the time), having this big'ol chimney really helps with atty & thus mod temperature as well. At first I was worried I wouldn't like it, but now it's the most comfortable drip tip I own, I blew the glass nice and thick, nearly perfectly round, with a slightly fatter lip around the top to get a good lip seal. I had made a muffler style one as well, but with how wide it was, it was a little harder to get a good seal, with this, again, it's just like taking a sip from a glass bottle. It's also nice to be able to nearly see your coils, or juice level without taking the cap off too, I've been going through juice too fast with this hole in the atty! Here's some pics:
You can see the fatter lip I made on it in this pic.
Here it is eating another 1/2" "normal wide bore" drip tip.
It's impossible to miss dripping in this thing.
I'm somewhere behind there.
I'm interested in what others think of wider/thinner drip tips, I've had some thinner ones work better with RBA's like my Squape, or my Aspire Nautilus (which is now commandeered by my girlfriend lol, I don't need it).
Show me your widest you have! Or your favorite, and share why too. What do you think?
my buddy bought a dt from ninja mods for like $30, it has an adjustable afc ring on the tip. this was my version of it since I didn't want to spend 30 on a dt
