I think if the T-tips were shorter and had a bigger hole they would do better. IMO it is hard to drip through the small hole and I think it does not produce as much vapor as a regular cap. It is harder to draw on the T-tip. I got a brass one and don't really like the taste or feel of it in my mouth. I think maybe the stainless steel one would do better. I wonder if you could make one out of hard plastic which would be much cheaper and IMO better. You could sell these in a multipack pretty cheap. You could even make them in different color to match the Super Ts.

Just a suggestion.

I think it would be rather expensive tooling up to make them - large volumes would need to be sold to turn a profit.

Does anybody think they are a little pricey. I think 16.99 is a lot to pay. If someone could make a plastic one IMO it would be better and cheaper. I certainly would buy these. There is a video showing how to make one out of an ink pen.
I think they are priced about right considering it will last forever whereas a plastic one will not...

You pay for the quality, durability and craftsmanship...

You'd be surprised what machining costs. $17 isn't that bad of a price. These aren't MIM parts. I don't have one myself because while I think it's a reasonable price for what it is, it's not worth $17 for me. At least not right now.. I hate dripping. I've considered getting a shorty to use on cartomizers tho as I think it'd help prevent juice in mouth problems.

I don't want to be too critical of nhalers product.. but if you think $17 is outrageous for a machined SS/Aluminum/brass part... $8 (or whatever they are right now) for a delrin part is absurd.. Maybe that's just what it costs to make the effort worth while to nhaler tho. At a lower price it might not be worth the time. /shrug

somewhere out there......
man the stainless T-tips are awesome.... the new ones with the bigger hole allow you to drip with ease... I would wait and go ahead and get a stainless short one. I think that will be right up your ally... think about this I use to go through a pack of carts a month. so if you think about it depending on which carts you get (either already pre-filled with eliquid or dry) it can cost you $2 - $7 dollars a pack depending on where you get it. so between 3 - 9 months the t-tip will pay for itself. And will allow an easy drip on the go. regular carts cant even do that.

Since one that will last forever only costs as much as enough plastic ones to last a few months I don't see how anyone could say they are overpriced.

As for the producing less vapor I don't see that myself. I have a brass one and I think (will be able to confirm soon) that it has the older (smaller) hole in it and it still works perfectly as advertised for me and I get just as much vapor as with any other tips I've used.

If it isn't worth the price to you then that's fine but as a product that works as it should and can last a lifetime I don't see how it can be considered overpriced.

Just get a drip tip from Drew at Nhaler

Problem with those is i ordered one and the tip was 8.00 for a plastic tip and then then shipping was another 7.50! My shipping is only 1.25 plus, you get a metal one that will last indefinitely, the plastic ones will get chewed up in short order as we all have a tendency to chew on the plastic ones!

Plus, many dont' know this and he's claiming otherwise, but his tip thru hole is about .156 where the T-tip's ID is .171 making for easier dripping. I personally measured them and i highly doubt anyone on here who has seen my mods, disputes my ability to measure accurately and precisely! Many have been saying the drew tips don't drip as well and that is why.

I'll post up some pics next week too as a comparison, you can visually see the size of the thru hole difference. His hole size is the size of my old style ones. He or someone will probably drill one out now and post up a pic to show their the "same", but any of you who already have both, just compare and you'll see the difference. I also have an unmolested one to post up pics of.

Hey David...I have both one of yours and one of his...the hole on his is real close to being the same...the contour of the outside of his is kinda nice...that being said 9 times out of 10 I prefer using your SS one...it just drips better..
for some reason the juice on the delrin tends to cling to the edge of the hole on the bottom of the tip and you get juice in your mouth easier...where it tends to clear your tip just fine..
Secondly, the delrin one is just a tiny tiny bit wider than a 510 atty...so using the tips on something like an eGo...the atty cover will slide over your t-tips but gets caught up on the delrin ones...
The only real advantage I see on the delrin ones is that they're super light so it works well on a stock 510 for dripping, but once you move into any mod or even an eGo that doesn't matter..
