Regarding the drip tip issue, I am personally fond of Pyrex rather than Delrin, and I have been using this one, a glass tip on a finned SS base. It's an off brand-- "private label" for the snooty among us-- and thus about half price of the Delrin part shown above. The hole in the base measures about a tenth of a millimeter smaller than the stock tip, but it seems to draw better (yes, I know how crazy that sounds, but it's true.) I am running mine at .3 Ohms and 40 watts and I am not getting a heat problem. All this FWIW; I definitely think it looks better-- at least on the SS version-- than a Delrin tip:
