Depending on what you are using and how you like to vape you can get wide drip tips for more airflow on skinny ones for a tighter draw. It's all down to personal preference and having a tank that lets you change the drip tip means you can get to your ideal vape easier.
Ummm, back in the day.... 
Ever use a carto? That metal end isn't real comfortable on the lips. And with a dripping type atomizer, you need some easy way to "open it up" to drip in more liquid. Drip tips to the rescue!
Some clearos have the mouthpiece - which is all the drip tip is, really - made as a non-removable part, some it's removable. Makers' / designers' choice.
Personally, I'm not fond of stainless, so if possible, I swap them out to something more comfortable to me. Different shapes will, of course, also feel different. Length of the drip tip can alter the vape - longer tips will allow more time for the vapor to cool. Size of the bore - the hole through the tip - will affect air flow.
Different colors just for fun - or to make it easy to keep track of what flavor is in what topper

Worth mentioning though, the term "driptip" is kind of mis-used -- what we have nowadays are "mouthpieces" really. That said, I'm not expecting a major change like that anytime soon.
Driptips were named that because they used to enable you to drip into your cartomizer, straight through the "driptip".

I was wonderimg necause the emow mega i orderd cones with a removable one, thanks everyone
The mouthpiece (drip tip) contributes to the taste.
Many tips on rda's and rba's especially are made of metal, which can cause problems heat conduction to the lips.
I use shorty ceramic drip tips; I also got some glass tips but I found the shorty ceramic ones hold more snuggly- no wobble.
When you get a new tank, and want to compare it with others, it helps to use the same drip tip so you have the same feel on your lips
alot of cheap clones/knockoffs are made with chromeplated brass, and I find chome irritates the lips.

They're obviously not all interchangeable, because I've tried. But I've never specifically looked for them so I don't know what the standard sizes are. I could measure a few, I suppose, but it's easier to ask here and drink my beer.
I've really had no preference as far as materials go up until now, except that plastic is better for my teeth when I'm on the tractor, but I'll be working outdoors for the next several months in the frozen northeast. I learned long ago not to put frozen metal near my mouth.
Who makes/sells different tips of different materials for specific tanks?

If you're not in a hurry...fasttech has many, many to choose from. I ordered just drip tips and they only took 2 weeks to get here. They all say they fit the 510 but some were a little loose. Someone on fasttech forum told me to wrap dental floss under the oring on the bigger ones. That worked well. Don't use mint floss tho-you can taste it.

Most tanks use a standard '510 drip tip' interface.
One exception is the popular kayfun, but you can order a 'custom top cap' for it which takes the standard 510 drip tips.
