A drip tip is just a tip with a bigger hole in it. For Cheapest, I got ya all beat.

Your e-cig kit should come with a number of empty cartridges. My kit had 10 of these. That's enough to last a lifetime if you replace the filler material inside with your own filler material. ( after that filler wears out) I simply take one of these and take out the filler to reuse on another cartridge. Ream a larger hole in the tip where your mouth goes with a drill bit. ( or use the tip of a knife the plastic is soft). There will be a little disk with holes in it just inside the hole your making larger - this will just pop out as you ream your hole or you can push something through the hole to pop this disk out before you drill the larger hole.

Clean out the shaved bits of plastic from inside the cartridge and Poof.. Instant Drip Tip for Zero $$$ & shipping.

I did the same thing. But a true drip tip has a better form for your lips, IMO.

I suppose that may be true depending on the type of drip tip you buy and your dripping/sucking on end of tip habits. I have seen them come in many different shapes. For me, it would not matter because my lips just touch the tip of the opening, they do not go around the whole tip.

Here is a kewl video I just found with other neat free or dirt cheap drip tip ideas
