Soooo, I am currently vaping my stone without it's drip tip. I am sure I look positively humorous doing so, but the flavor just really pops without that drip tip. Plus absolutely no more gurgling, which I was getting a bit of having left the stone sitting for more than 24 hours without use. I need to take another look at the physics of the device and see what the deal there is. I sometimes vape my visions without the mouth piece because condensation and/or juice gets trapped between the nipple and the mouth piece, but that certainly isn't the issue here...I dont think.
Oh, come on. This is a Kodak moment, if ever one was.
