option B looks awesome buzz my order is still on hold as it will go to europe and waiting for all issues to be sorted out. Was wondering are you going to include B drip tip to each vvpv or sell it separately, what would be the price of it ? Many thanks

Something to remember before drilling your tip. If it isn't one consistent diameter, try to drill at the fattest spot so the tube gets a better grip. A bigger ID tip is preferable so you don't make a vacuum inside the drip tip, and the farther you push the feed tube in past the inner diameter, the more likely you will create a vacuum inside the DT. If you are sucking up a lot of juice only depress the feed button half way, slowly and the juice will sort of roll down the wall. If you drill an expensive tip, start small. Too small of a hole will still work, or leave you room to fix it. Too big you need a new tip or an ugly fix. If it's just a touch to small cut the end of the tube diagonally and it should still slide in easy. And don't use a finger-thumb hold and a cordless drill

Cool, you found the nipples I was referring to in another post. I still have to dig mine out, but I think all of the ones I have are brass.

It would be nice to be able to use other tips without drilling, would this work with an io6? I drilled a couple of Issac's swirl tips and it works great but my lip his the tube occasionally.

I voted to use my own DT's.

I started working on this last night. I'm making some assumptions about the tubing used in the vvpv, but it looks like the same stuff REO uses judging by some of the photos I've seen.

I have a bunch of these precision oilers laying around. The end tube is about 12 gauge.


The circled portion is 1.5" long, so I cut it in to three half inch pieces. My phone camera isn't doing the job, so I can't make visual aids... -- but anyway: I heated one section to red-hot with a torch and then pressed it in to an acrylic drip tip at 90 degrees. I'm starting to think I could have put it in at maybe 45 degrees to have the end of the metal tube inside the DT facing downwards, but I'm not sure if that's desirable or not... and it might put the tube in a position to touch my face/lip when i vape. I also suppose it could be done at a 120 degree so the metal tube inside the DT is facing upwards and that keeps the tube well out of the users way.

EDIT - VISUAL AIDS:
