Price aside, what kind of cutlery do you use?
Damn feud... Here it is.

<<There didn't seem to be an appropriate place to reviews these elsewhere but since we drip with them, the liquid sub is good enough. If not someone please move it.

Overall impression 2/5. Unlike an atty that may need seasoning etc... a drip tip is pretty much a straight forward device, that either performs out of the box or not.

Although this rating might seem low, the NHaler drip tip has some positive attributes.

Pros

The ergonomics are fair, the tip is comfortable to vape from: 4
They fit the atty nice and snug, maybe a little too snug: 3
No need to keep replacing a cart after dripping: 5
Washable: 4
Made from Delrin not metal: 4
Can be used in public in classy venues without shame: 4

Cons

Hole too small requires proper hand eye coordination/alignment: 2
Liquid has a tendency to stick to the sides: 2
Becomes air locked with moderately viscous liquids: 1
The design builds up condensate: 2
Doesn't fit properly on my eGo: 1
Only comes in one size (510); 2
Price tag; 1

OK now that the slam is done, what can be made to improve on this device.

I believe that through time (we hope) that once the R&D funds recuperated these tips will be offered at a better price. At this point the principle dis-advantage is indeed their price tag. I ordered two, I thought about ordering more but retained myself. I would have ordered 5 a $5 ea. I am glad I didn't.

Although the plastic has a nice feel compared to metal, and remains cool, this advantage also inhibits the flow of liquid down the tube and is probably why it sticks to the sides.

It is my understanding that the design permits it to drip directly onto the atty. This is not necessary and reduces the hole size. The latter maybe an advantage to those that do not mouth vape, but vape directly to the lungs. I did both, nah!

I believe the marketing strategy on their release couldn't have been timed better, but overall, they fall far short from the mark with the current price tag.

My rubber pen tube has a soft feel to it, is comfortable, washable and can be dripped into fairly easily. Cost? The cost of a pen. Although I would not use this set up in public, it vapes like a champ at home, where I do most my dripping.

OTOH, after a week on the LR attys, no reported problems yet, and they get a 4/5. A little on the pricey side, but for a stock LR atty, they perform above expection.

I thought through the hooplah that the D tip was nothing short of phenomenal, it was a dis-appointment. I will hang on to these two for as long as I can, because until the price seriously drops on these, they will not be replaced. The're simply not worth it IMHO.

In closing this review, I don't own a T Tip, because that price tag was simply exorbitant for what it is, a metal tube with a hole in it, and a $0.35 "Oring".

Kudos on the LR atty, thumbs down on the D Tip.>>

Just ordered a couple LR attys. Thanks to the OP for mentioning this item! Gotta love ecigs...Not only do I get to avoid cancer but I also get a new high tech toy complete with regular upgrades and interesting accessories :D
Just remember that LRs are hard on batts. I got 4hrs out of a 14500 @ 900 mAh box mod today. Mind you the batt wasn't fully charged, but there is a price to pay for heaven.

The LR atty: Is the flavour/vp/th comparable to what you would get from a regular Joye 510 atty connected direct to 5 volts via USB (no in-line battery)?
Sorry I missed this one, the question is sort of hidden. It's night and day, and I have a direct PT.

It is hard to explain, besides a PT does not really put out 5V like we are led to believe. It is a lot of math that I don't care to go find. On the other hand, a high drain 3.7V has the capacity with the LR atty to deliver as a 5V device, as a matter of fact it is closer to 6V on a fresh battery.
