How do you guys drip with the T-Tips?

I just got a brass one today, and I love it. After some buffing and polishing, it looks fantastic and it's obviously a nice piece of kit.

However, I'm finding dripping into it to be bit difficult. The hole is narrower than the size of the drip itself, so the liquid tends to hit the insides of the tip.

Is this pretty much the norm with them? What do you guys do, just tap on it a bit to try to get the juice to flow down into the atomizer? Ever get juice in your mouth because there's still some stuck on the inside wall of the tip?

Is this the *Now* runs of the tips? The first ones made did have smaller holes but the later ones do not. If they are first run David will re-drill them for you.

I drip out of a 30ml plastic bottle and or from a glass dropper and I don't know if mine hits the sides on the way in or not? If it does it flows down to the coil rather quickly.

Is your juice really thick VG? I thin the VG down just a bit (3 drops per 30ml) so it vapes / flows better in the HV PV's...

I do not get juice in my mouth though

Huh, ok thanks. I guess when the stainless one comes I can part with the brass one for a little while. I'll PM David and ask if I can get the brass one re-drilled.

These things are really nice though, huh? I'm very impressed how such a small thing can make such a big difference in the vaping experience.

I just hold it up straight and drip right in the middle.
Yep, that's what I do. However, as I said the size of the drop is pretty much the same size as the hole itself, so there's no way to prevent the juice from hitting the side, unless I was using something that can produce smaller sized drops, or a needle tip dropper.

If juice is hitting the side of the T-Tip when you drip into it, you can lightly blow into the Tip right after dripping in it...

I have no clue if my juice is hitting the side but I am also using the rather large dripper from the Halo bottles.... I find that lightly blowing into the tip should force any excess liquid down to the wick...

Great suggestion, thanks!

Got the stainless tip today, the hole is bigger. Dripping into it works just fine, no issues. So, hopefully David won't mine drilling out the brass one for me (crossing fingers). :)

No problem send it in and i'll drill it out and make the funnel bigger, no charge!
