The answer to the question might well depend on what one uses a drip tip for...

There are people that drip and remove the tip to do so.
Then there are people that drip and refuse to ever remove the tip, like me.
:)

Then there are people that use drips tips to help moderate the heat of the vapor.
Or just because they look really neat.

I can not use delrin tips, because they tend to hold on to vape juice and then put it right in my mouth.
I like stainless steel or glass drip tips, because they don't have that problem.

Chipotle.
I'm sure they would work both ways, how they work now is two ways, first by simply making it a longer route than a straight line to your lips the juice must make at least two 90° turns before it reaches the top of the tip. Second, the steps cause some turbulence in the airflow which keeps the "hot popping" juice from finding its way into the back of your throat on a long lung inhale. Theoretically they would work better upside down but machining them from the bottom side would not be cost effective, especially in my situation where I'm only making them for personal use. Plus I want the top side hole to be as large as possible so the juice bottle dripper fits inside it.

Edit: I used to make them with a clean straight bore of 8mm all the way through, they do work quite well that way still but if you've overdripped by even one drop the juice always found a way to my mouth. Now I've got to seriously overdrip to get juice near my lips.

This is my choice if I only had one drip tip. Actually, it's what I only use [emoji6]

The only bummer part is they don't fit flush on my Atlantis or Nautilus Mini. But I love them so much I don't care [emoji106]
