Metal vs plastic drip tip

[Jim Diamond]

I prefer pyrex and tru-stone for appearance, feel, and their ability to stay cool from the heat that the juice attachment may make.

These are really cool. Where did you get them?

ooooohhhh Jade sounds wonderful

Jade does sound nice...

You can get Jade drip tips from fasttech for $3.50, I think. Obviously not the best quality Jade, but they look ok.

I'm sort of a small time collector of drip tips when I can afford the luxury. I consider a drip tip to not only be functional & pratical, but also a personal statement which you can use to top off your setup to look unique to you as an individual vapor.

Pic1 is a pyrex tip from Sagewood Glass. Pyrex tips are hand blown and one of a kind, no two are exactly alike. You can see this tip on my Vmod bottom feeder box mod.

Pics2 & 3 are tru-stone from Bull Box Mods. Tru-stone tips are hand-turned on a lathe and highly polished. Also one of a kind.

Pic4 are pyrex tips from Hot Vapes.

Below are more tru-stone tips I have, these are from Drip Tip Designz. If you are on Facebook, many of their finer tips are in this photo gallery.



The below stainless steel tip is called the Freudian Drip Tip from Pink Spot.

I like FREE ones the best.

I like the vape on the tumblers, but was having problems with the metal tips. So I painted on some liquid rubber (safe once dried)

I like plastic. SS just doesnt do it for me.

X2 on the plastic.

Stainless is what I prefer. Easy to keep clean and they seem to stay cool. Although I use plastic when I drive.

I like plastic. Not using any tank cracker liquids. More interested in utility and a warm lip feel than bling (g)..

I like the plastic also . Mainly because of the lighter weight. Specialy when driving, The heavy ones bang my teeth. My favorite are the soft flat tips. They are kinda hard to find. That is the one thing I miss about real cigs. Being able to bite down on the filter. its an oral thing I guess.

The asthetics are as important to me as good gear, its all about the complete experience.
Whislt I have contemplated a soft rubber because I would like to chew. I like the chrome
metal because the look good. Also from what I read makes sense that metal
won't hold on to the flavor like plastic.................

I love using stainless steel tips for a nice clean line myself

I like the look of stainless steel, but use plastic a lot. I also took the rubber grip off a pen and slip it over my SS drip tips to keep from hitting my teeth while driving.

There is an argument for the easy cleaning of stainless but I really prefer my acrylic tip for my Protank II. It cuts some of the weight and I know I'll appreciate it even more when it's -10 degrees here in Minnesnowta in a few months.

I much prefer stainless steel. I like when the tip gets cold...mmm...

While I have nothing against ss drip tips, I'm really enjoying a ceramic one from Kidney Puncher. Seams durable too, it's hit the floor a couple times now.

Ive used plastic, aluminum and ss. I prefer the ss or aluminum but find not all drips are created equal. The shape and size of the hole make a bigger difference to me than the material is made from
