Same here - usually with the atty. My Aqua v2's are all I'm using now, and they didn't come with drip tips. I prefer wide bore. I bought two I love by Vapelyfe ordered from vape Royalty. Snug fit, great quality and only $8 each.
Last year I bought some from 101 vape that were nice, but wobbly in the Magma's and Veritas. Maybe $4 or $5 each. Lesson learned.

I guess hand made wooden/ acrylic for $18 would be out of the question ? Which, by the way, is about half of what Molehill Mountain would charge...
Not at all out of the question, if you like it. Like your REOs, the cost is about being handmade from quality materials. It's just lucky for me I prefer steel and brass.

In a thread I started yesterday, a recent ProVarinati-turned-Reonaut (Train2) linked :
Low Country Mountain Man: Wooden Drip Tips, Reo Button Covers and Accessories
So I went his page. Seems he is geared towards Reos, much like Chowderhead. Only TS is more into accessories.
Black & Pink Ebony (actually more of a black and brown)
Norfolk Pine / Red & White Acrylic
I have a couple of Woodvils these will soon call home...

For those who are not as eccentric as a Reonaut (supposedly) :
focalecig.com - VF Squonker 40W TC Variable Wattage VW Box Mod - Black
40W Temp- Controlled with 9ml on board bottle. And the bottle is in a separate compartment from the electronics. 18650 battery (not included), digital display at the top, looks clean and shaped like a Vapor Flask. Marked down to $46.

Daughter and her significant other (Loser #5) gave me $150 Gift Card for Christmas, so I pulled the trigger on a Chalice III RBA from reosmods.com. Expensive atomizer for us M-T-L flavor chasers, to say the least.
Give us a full report after you get it going.
Vape Royalty sent me an ad for that thing today. Yes, interesting. I think we're all waiting for a coil-less atty.
This does look interesting. I got the email from Vape Royalty too. At $120, it's an investment. Looking forward to seeing some reviews on it. After my coil building fiasco yesterday, this tank looks even better!
I just wish he hadn't stated that coils create toxins, unless that's a proven fact. It's not something I've seen from any reliable source. But it's been a while since I read research on it, so maybe I missed some new info.
Yeah, that's a bold claim considering that not everyone reacts to metals the same, not the mention the other substances used for the circuit board etc.
Still as the others mentioned, it's going to be interesting to see how it pans out and how well it works overall. Until we start getting feedback... I think we can guess at things some just for the fun of it...
While it isn't always the case with a new methodology ( this isn't new tech, the same concepts are being used just differently )... it's likely there will be issues found with it right off of the bat since no amount of limited testing can duplicate real world use. Hopefully if any issues are found, they will be minimal and easily resolved.
I'd guess the circuit board material is going to something neutral like ceramic or glass since an epoxy PCB wouldn't be good with the heat. This would mean the board would be fragile and likely needing replaced from time to time due to that. This would also explain the need to heat up the circuit.
If a ceramic is being used as the circuit board... perhaps at some point the need of using the cotton sheet can be removed since some ceramics can also wick.
The metals used for the vapor circuit would likely be what's already being used now, ie nickel, titanium and/or stainless. I say that because of their claims about it working with TC mods and those require that the electronics know how the metal reacts to the various temperatures in order to work properly. If so, any issues being reported with those types of metal would also apply here.
Any metal that is heated and then cooled will expand and contract... This would lead to it separating from the circuit board material at some point also. Another reason that replacements would be needed.
I found it curious that the demo video didn't show them filling the tank. While that really wouldn't be needed just for a demo, it does bring up the question if they are having issues with a tankful of liquid cooling things down affecting the vapor production....
While those thoughts are based on existing materials etc... they are still just wild guess's and it'll still be interesting to see what comes out in the end.
@rdsok - excellent points. I wondered too about the reason for the warm up, and why they didn't show the tank being filled. Your thoughts might be guesses, but I think they are good ones.
The circuit board is likely to be more expensive than pre-built coils. If they are ceramic or glass, they may not hold up to being dropped or toppled over.
Still, it is good to see ongoing innovation.

well there is one metal that bonds very well to glass... Indium. It is used to bond the metal electrodes to the glass tube in lasers... and that bond has to be absolutely air tight and have the same expansion cooefficient as the glass to inhibit separation.
I found an old 650 Janty eGo in my bone box this weekend. Complete with 1.5 ohm atomizer, drip shield and tip.
Now how prehistoric is that ?
