Some people use them to drip their
juice down into with out removing it hence the name drip tip. No bad juice taste without it if you don't overfill your carto and your juice tastes good lol The juice you are getting is no nic and all food grade ingredients so I suspect that it will taste good even if you were to get a drop or 2 in your mouth
I use drip tips because I like the feel better and it also keeps the heat from the carto from my lips.
They were originally designed to use with attys which have to have drops of juice added often to them.
