New! Stainless Steel io6 Drip Tips!

[loft]

I just got word today straight from the horses mouth... new drip tips are in! I do not have them in hand just yet, but I know they are in route and I will have live shots as soon as they arrive.

For now... these are the shots that Isaac has personally sent me. I do not know when the site will be updated, but I believe they just need to be tested for consistency and then will go live.

These are a collaborative effort between Siam mods and IkenVape! They look great, and I'm certain they will be fantastic to use!

(And it appears that the drip channel is of a larger bore... which means no more stuck juice like with the delrin or silhouette tips!)

On an SD Key by Trog, and Lavatube (Knight Rider):

General Shots:

(Yes, you guessed it... io6 to 510 drip tip adapters as well)

At the current moment I have no idea how much these are going to cost or how many are available. As soon as I find out more information from Isaac, I will post.

CRAP. just when i was feeling to be the unluckiest not making the io6 Beta you came through with this. Let me test one! I despise the delrin dt and my glass dt is chipped! 2 broke and on my third one already darnit.

Both of my glass ones broke on me too and I was super careful with them.SS is the way to go,these things will last forever and will look great on my SS GGTS.

I've been looking for something like this! The plastic ones I melt, the glass ones are too fragile, and the metal ones, make everything taste like metal. Wonder if a real SS would solve all that? I will be ordering when they come in.

That's the problem with glass. It doesn't stretch at all and breaks with the slightest pressure. Unlike metal and Delrin etc. that has a certain amount of give. Those really look nice. I saw a twitter post he made on them.

Ever since his twitter update, I have been so excited. I so need this.

Well they've been cooking in and on stainless for yrs. and it hasn't affected the food. I wouldn't think it would affect the taste.

Sex...y is a good thing.

Ah, and there you have it. I haven't had a chance to chat with Isaac much today (busy busy) but they're up. I'll still post images and thoughts when I receive mine which should hopefully be tomorrow.

 

[JCB1]

They all look so hot; I got all three!

 

[loft]

Got them in. In depth post coming, just need to get situated, just got home.

For now...

Alright I don't want to keep any of you waiting so I am going to write everything now and pray I don't miss anything.

The Good: Stainless Steel. Shiny. NO leaks (granted, this needs to be further tested... 10 minutes of use is not conclusive), not too tall, not too short. I've not gotten any juice in my mouth but also heat is not sacrificed too much to where I would be unsatisfied with using these tips. All three pieces fit VERY TIGHT! A drop of juice will help them slide on and slide off, and will not sacrifice stability. Wide mouth drip channel that will allow your juice to go where it's supposed to -- the bridge/wick/coil!

Neutral: These tips are very heavy. They are steel after-all, so take that into consideration before purchasing. I personally love the added weight.

The Bad: Shiny metal objects attract fingerprints, dust, and scratches. Over time, I am sure these accessories will acquire light to moderate scratches. Edit: Also one thing to consider, as you use these drip tips they will acquire "mouth stuffs" (for lack of an official term) aka crusty buildup from sugary and other residues that are on your lips.

Overall I am extremely impressed with these tips and pleasantly surprised at how secure they attach. I was a bit worried about the dual o-ring design but it is working out very well.

And now for higher res pictures...

Enjoy! And if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Curious mind here about taking them off. If the fit is "very tight" is it so tight there's a danger of pulling the IO6 apart which has happened to a number of us when one of the Silhouette tips get stuck? I was waiting for some feedback about this from users before spring for 1 or more of 'em.
