Preferred material for drip tips

[Loungefly]

Just wondering with all the different materials you can use for drip tips (wood, stone, SS, brass, glass, etc). Which kind do you prefer? Just trying to decide which one to get...looking for something unique.

 

[The Ocelot]

I have SS, aluminum, glass, ceramic, Tru Stone, Delrin, acrylic and generic plastic. Each one has it uses. Are you looking for unique material or design?

I ordered a prive tank and was trying to find something other than stainless to put on it. I am upgrading from a ego-c with a stainless tank (the tank says Jessy and Cutie on the side...whatever that means) to a provari. I was thinking something along the lines of wood or glass. I don't know....a unique blown glass drip tip? Any suggestions?

 

[Loungefly]

Oh, am I correct in assuming that using metal wont affect the taste? Ive only used this SS drip tip so I really have nothing to compair it to. Like would the taste be the same using metal vs. glass.

Jessy and Cutie are brands (or rebranded) I've come across them before, but I can't remember where.

My glass tip was made by Teena. It's lampwork, not blown glass: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...3286-glass-drip-tips-charms-e-cigarettes.html

Trippy Tips are popular for blown glass (they have a thread on the forum somewhere). I like Sagewood better (they are also on the forum), but it look like they are OOS right now (at least on their website). This is a new company: Products | Envision Vapor

I got my Tru Stone from Mr. Vape (he also just made some wooden ones): Mr Vape Inc. Electronic Cigarettes

For acrylic and wood Molehill Mountain has unusual designs: » Products Page Molehill Mountain Art Drip Tips

Cherry Vape is another well known vendor. I have one of their Cannons.

I have stackers on my wishlist: Stacker Bamboo Drip Tip

There are lots of cool tips around in other materials, if you do some searching. This is my latest SS one, that I like very much. It's cooler in person: Drip Tips : 510 Stainless Steel Type R

ETA: Some people really taste SS. I do a little, in fact I didn't notice it until someone started a thread, but it doesn't bother me. I use SS more than anything else.

I don't notice a difference in taste with different juices, but glass, ceramic and Tru Stone feel cooler. It's not like the others get warm from vaping, but they do get warm from my lips. The glass, et al, seem to stay slightly colder than the ambient air temp.

Ohman is making some rather cool titanium tips as well. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-introducing-bmods-custom-drip-tips-more.html

One more to consider is Drip Tip Designz.

I prefer glass or SS. Not a huge differnece but, it's a bit like a soda, a few of us taste the differnce in the same soda in a can, in a plastic bottle or, in a glass bottle. (Or if we pour it in a metal cup form the glass bottle, it changes the taste slightly. Some people don't notice any difference.

I do have some Delrin and plastic tips too but don't use those much.

 

[Loungefly]

Thank you vang0gh and susie. I think you put me on the right track. The gemini looks like it was made for the provari and driptipdesignz has quite a varity to choose from...something different, something to break up the complete stainless look. Heh, as my wife could say, something to make it "pop".

I just ordered some from SuperTManufacturing and I can't wait to get them. They look stunning on the site.

I have about every kind of drip tip you can imagine, but every time I look around the only ones I'm using are plastic. So I guess it's safe to say that I like plastic drip tips. They just seem to keep the heat away from my lips the best.

Personaly I like stainless steel, titainium and brass

I like brass only with dark rich flavors because it imparts a metalic penny like taste that sort of gives a rich flavor more zing . Thats why I sanded my protanks down to brass and I use them for heavy vanilla and chocolate and caramels

Everthing else goes in a genny with a siliica wick and a ss or titainium drip tip

 

[Baditude]

I prefer pyrex glass or tru-stone for looks and feel. I don't particularly care for the feel of metal, although I do use those occasionally.



This is a glass tip from Sagewood Glass.

I have these two tru-stone tips from Drip Tip Designz which I use on my two AGA-T2 RBAs with replacement red and green pyrex tubes. The tips in the 3rd pic are Cherry Vape mings which I used before getting the ones from Drip Tip Designz.

I prefer a cooler vape, so occassionally I use an extra long drip tip to cool the vapor. The Freudian Drip Tip is a stainless steel tip from Pink Spot Vapor and the long skinny drip tip on the Provari is anodized aluminum from My Freedom Smokes.

Do you have a photo of the sanded Protanks?

 

[BigBen2k]

Does anyone make a metal, rubber coated drip tip?

I second the request for a picture of a sanded Protank. I didn't know it was brass underneath, although I hadn't thought about what might be under there anyway.
