I use the avid vaper drip tips as well, I always fine that once the atty gets juiced up they slip off far too easily. I've taken to wrapping foil around the base of my 306s. I'm curious to try the universal drip tip (whether I actually
buy one or not remains to be seen). Do the universal drip tips work with drip shields?
Interesting post, Hippieben!
I use the shorty Delrin tips because that is what works best for me. I tried the acrylic drip tips that AV also sells, but it seems that, the Delrin's hold the heat better. In other words, after a few puffs with the delrins, the vape takes off while with the acrylics (which are otherwise nice with different colors and being clear), the vape just stays the same as when I started.
I also tried the longer delrins... and yeah, you can use a drip shield with them which you can't with the shortys, but it seemed that was the only advantage. I got a drip shield from AV just to try one and... didn't feel it was what I wanted. I also tried the aluminum 306 dt from them and, that thing was HUGE... what went into you mouth was bigger than 510. I also tried the 306 dt from empiremods but, it was a lot cheaper than AV but was of inferior quality.
Empiremods sells the universal dt... which will work on a 306 and then you can then use the humongous number of 510 dts that are available. Not sure if I ever picked up one of these or not.
Originally I had a problem with the AV DTs where they would get too loose... and what I would do is put a small piece of clear plastic around the base and put the atty over that and that would fix the problem. But, I think I was using Joye atties back than and since I switched over to the cisco and empiremod 306 atties... the problem went away.
