Pinnacle Drip Tips

[InTheClouds]

Can I have #4(red, blue, gold), #7(teal & purple), #9(black, brown, cream), #10(blue & white), and #13(blue & gold) all in 1" comfort?? As Choochoogranny says does not need to be all in one order. Sounds like repeat customers will be keeping you busy for a while!! Sounds like a great way to spend some extra time with your son, nice he is willing to work for cash instead of just holding his hand out for it. Thanks you Lewis, we appreciate your talent.

oh lordy I can't wait until this new batch of tips is sent to the website! I keep haunting this thread waiting to hear the most important news to me - that the drip tips have been sent lol - I can't wait! I know I'm harassing you Lewis but I can hardly wait!

 

[whokrz]

Not harassing at all, I am happy there is a demand for them
So far there are 35 tips turned and 15 more to go. Between wisdom teeth and his girl friend kidnapping him for Valentines weekend my son hasn't had a chance to buffed any of the tips. Hopefully this weekend we will get the tips that have been turned finished up. If all goes well 50 tips will be mailed off on March 3rd.

I need to plan ahead better for Valentines next year. Perfect gift for my wife are Lewis's drip tips. Girl loves em.

Had to buy jewelry instead. Worthless metal that will rarely get used.

 

[whokrz]

Great to hear she is enjoying her tips! I am sure next Valentines we can figure out a way to get her a few more

Lewis thanks for keeping us in the loop! I'm glad that your son has been having fun too - I have no problems waiting lol albeit very impatiently lol - the tips are the last thing I need now to upgrade my set up completely to red gear - I got red batteries and now red protanks glass that have been etched into the designs of my choosing thanks to phiniac lol - now all I need is the tips lol - I got 2 tanks set up with red glass and gold etched designs to go with the red and gold tips I'm hoping to get - I got 2 tanks set up with red glass and black etched designs to go with the red and black tips I'm hoping to get lol - I can't wait for the news that they have been sent lol - and I'm sure that closer to my birthday I'm probably going to end up upgrading all my gear to a purple set up and then I'll be hitting you up for the charoite tips lol if I do end up changing all my gear around again lol - so I'll be impatiently waiting for those beautiful tips to be delivered lol

 

[Megan5995]

Lewis I hate to harass you again but can I request a drip tip for the next batch - I would love to have a 1 inch comfort drip tip in the charoite truck stone please - if you've already turned some for this batch I'm going to try and scoop it up then - but if you haven't turned any for this batch I can definitely wait for the next batch - my friend just bought me the innokin I taste mvp 2.0 shine series battery in purple so now I'm thinking ahead to the set up I want for that battery lol and it's gotta have a Lewis creation drip tip lol - thanks so much

 

[Megan5995]

And can I also request a 0.75 straight Ming (the little shorty design one you have) in the number 3 picture of the new blanks you have to turn out for the next batch - the one with the blues and reds - I want to get it for my friend who just bought me the new battery upgrade cuz she also has an innokin itaste in the petals design that has blues and reds and yellows but she prefers the shorter contour type tips that look like what you call the 0.75 straight Ming on your web site - please and thank you

 

[Megan5995]

OMG getting so excited now lol - about a week before Lewis said he'd be sending out the drip tips from this batch and I can hardly wait lol - thank you so very much Lewis for supplying us addicts with our pretty drip tips lol

Sorry it has taken so long to respond I haven't had much time lately.
choochoogranny, InTheClouds and Megan5995 I added the tips to the list. So far it is still looking like they will be mailed off on Monday or Tuesday.
The motor on the lathe is on its last legs. It is struggling to make parting cuts in the stainless. About every 4th tip it slow down and stalls, which destroys the $8.00 insert. I am kinda surprised that it lasted this long turning all the stainless. I will order a new motor that has about twice the power of the stock motor which should turn the stainless with ease. On the next batch the prices will get raised 50 cents to slowly pay for the new motor. Hopefully by mid March I will have the new motor installed and can start the next batch.

 

[InTheClouds]

Sorry about the motor Lewis, as my Grandmother used to say "It's always something". Looking forward to the tips!! I'll gladly pay 50 cents more to keep you in business!

 

[Megan5995]

I will also gladly pay the 50 cents to keep you in business - I love your drip tips - and it's better than wasting an 8 dollar steel core every 4 turns lol - thanks for keeping us all in the loop Lewis

Added them to the list.

This weekend the wife and I have been doing taxes and they are taking a little longer than planned. On a bright note we don't owe The tips should be mailed off on Tuesday or Wednesday.

In the past I have been reluctant to make tips with a dual o-ring because the connector comes out a bit long and won't fit properly in my DID. I am unsure how many devices have the same issue. On an other thread I have been talking on Vapant came up with the idea to remove the stainless partition between the o-rings to make the connector shorter. After I get the new motor on the lathe I will experiment more with Vapant's idea. If all works as planned dual o-rings will be a option in the next batch. Single o-ring tips will also be a option for those that don't want dual o-rings. Just let me know when you request a tip. The machining is the same so it won't affect the price.

I am also going to play around with increasing the diameter of the airway but will keep the out side diameter of the tube the same. Currently it is to narrow for dripping and the liquid gets stuck half way down. I tried doing this before and failed, but I have a new idea that I hope will work. If it works it will probably increase the machining time a little which would increase the price a little. If all goes well it will be another option when requesting a tip.

I have a couple tips with double O-rings, I have much better luck with your tips with single o-rings, they fit everything I have without fail. Congrats on not owing any taxes!!

 

[whokrz]

Thanks
I am hoping the double o-ring ones will also fit everything. The diameter and length of the connector will be the same.

Tomorrow is Tuesday woot woot - either tomorrow or Wednesday when Lewis sends out this next batch of beautiful drip tips - I'm hoping he'll put up pictures of all the new ones that he did like the last time - can't wait to see your beautiful work Lewis - Congrats on not owing anything on taxes
