Sorry.. just need to geek out for a sec

So I'm toying with the idea of attempting to make my own drip tip. Now I may be one of the last social media holdouts in my age group (13-83) so I don't use facebook (except to order juice), twitter, pintrest or anything. But I was looking on a pintrest thread that came up in my googling process and I decided to look through it for possible inspiration, and I saw a pic I posted on here in the 'show me your girly' setup thread.

So stupidly ridiculously giddy that someone liked it enough to do whatever it is you do on pintrest that had to share. If you hear any random giggling, don't worry, just the lunatic that's in my head. She passes out eventually.

Any fan of Tommy Smothers is okay by me.

Sally on the topic of making drip tips. Back when I first started vaping I saw a you tube video on how to make them out of sculpy. Maybe have a search and see if you can find it.

You might want to get your "twerk" on for this occasion! ... kidding, I actually hate that word

But seriously, good for you! I know that "lit up" feeling you are having now, enjoy it!

When you first get to this site, if you have a creative bone in your body, it will begin singing extremely loudly when you start seeing what other people have done to their devices....lol

I don't think it's avoidable.

There is a LOT of negative thoughts on sculpey tips. Apparently, they are not food safe or something.
If you do a search on the forums, you will see a lot of that.

Do you mean Sculpey? It's not a good idea to use it for drip tips. It's a polymer that I'm sure will leech plasticizers out when in contact with juice. Some brands of polymer clay removed phthalates from them several years ago due to the carcinogens and if I recall it was only some, not all brands. It's fine for making prototypes before making them out of a different material though.

I suppose you could make it out of polymer clay and then use one of the new 3D scanners, then print it on a 3D printer.

I know crazy right?

I have seen the videos of the sculpey drip tips, and wasn't feeling the end result. I'm actually planning on trying a couple different methods, I found a thread on here were someone made a clay mold and poured in resin, after polishing the end result looked great, plus if using a clear resin I could play with adding other elements. (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/247545-how-make-drip-tips.html )

The other way I'm going to try it is a bit of a cheat, I found a couple really basic long drip tips that I was going to add clay to shape up. Either way it's gonna take me a while to get it done, have to figure out what materials I want to use and find it at a reasonable price.
