Question About Drip Tips

[carpedebass]

I'm fairly accustomed now to using the rubber-ish drip tips that come with most cartos. But I have noticed they can get a little warm on my delicate lips...

Seriously...they do get kinda hot. So I'm looking to foray into the land purchasing a good drip tip. What are your recommendations for a good, comfortable tip that doesn't transfer heat to the ol' smackers?

your typical delrin drip tip doesn't transfer the heat-and i have cooked some LR atties to the point where they would brand flesh..a lot of places carry them, from Liberty Flights to CCV

not sure on the anodized metal ones-

The aluminium ones transfer heat... a lot That rubber gasket doesn't do a whole lot as an insulator.

Thanks for the heads up on that Stothek..
so if i end up with a shiney colored metal one, i will make sure to keep it on cartos...
my heating up atties problem would quickly end up burning my lips

 

[StotheK]

Probably a good idea Unless that carto is a triple coil and you're running it 5-6v. That's kind of how I learned aluminum drip tips make a really good heat sink

So...do the clear ones transfer heat badly?

No, the clear ones are great. I also have some black plastic ones that I use, and they don't transfer heat, either. I've switched completely over to using drip tips on my cartos.
