I discovered this just the other day.. and I have not been on here much so I'm sorry if someone beat me to it :)

This works with just about any atomizer.. I use 510s..

Take a drinking straw (one that barely but easily fits into the atomizer) and wrap the end as tightly as you can with electrical tape.. You want it to be just enough so that the straw fits into the atomizer nice and snug there (don't let it go all the way down to the atomizer!)

I am not sure if it will cause cancer or some nonsense. . But it works great and is cheap to free
Just make sure that it is nowhere near the coil, as long as the tape doesn't get very hot I think it's probably okay

Anyway - it feels just much much more like a cigarette than anything I tried.. and I remember a lot of people on here looking for that

Thanks! You never know when you'll be out of a drip tip. I don't use attys but I'm forever losing drip tips. I swear I lose one a day.

I know how much most men love duct tape! I'm surprised no one has made a mod out of duct tape. Or have they?
I did actually see a box mod that was almost completely duct tape on YouTube or or in a forum somewhere lol.

Anyway can someone in the US give a link to THE for those cheap straight drip tips. They even have lines in and are semi transparent - like a straw. I bought my cheap ones from Health Cabin in China for about $1.
Not sure how clear the pic is, but there is one on the box mod.

Wanna save money that bad?..Hey pour some ejuice on a piece of foil put the straw in your mouth light a bic lighter under the foil and heat the ejuice, suck up the vapor with the straw..wow eliminated needing a mod at all...SHEESH...

This isn't a very helpful post. As swedishfish said, you never know when you're going to need to improvise a drip tip. I had to do so just the other day after I burnt my last 306 drip tip in half and wait for a new one to arrive in the mail.

Hey, it may be helpful, my battery dies today at work and I would have done the tin foil if I would have thought about it haha

For me it was more what I wanted than what can be bought
It's more like a cigarette than any bought drip tip
