That's why I have kids, just make them crawl under and retrieve it for you. If they are too big now just drop another and then squeeze it in a hole when it fits

Just do as the wild animals do and climb under your porch from the side Assuming they haven't chewed it all up yet....
Assuming they haven't chewed it all up yet....
That actually happened to me last month, except it was just a plastic drip tip. Our deck actually has a door, so we have access to the undeneath, for storage. Hubby got under there with a flashlight, and found mine, even though it was black. I wasn't about to do it, in case I was attacked by spiders! Your solution...put in a door, for storage, and lost driptips!
So, there is no retrieving the lost Drip Tip, sadly. This porch is ground level and the house I am staying at has no basement or means to get under to find it. The problem is that the deck is a few years old and all the screws are too recessed in the wood to get at with a screwdriver. It's not my porch and not my home, so I can't simply take a Skil Saw to it nor do I have my tools to do so.
SO... I guess I had better count my losses, grumble a bit more under my breath and accept the fact that my favorite drip tip is now gone. I have always been accident prone and knew it was going to happen sooner or later, but at least I got a good year and a half's use out of it (Always look on the bright side of life). I most likely won't be replacing the DT since I am not made of money and a Super T DT is most definitely not on my "need" list.

Noiz...sorry for your loss.
I shelled out for one of those whistle T-Tips from Jack too, back when...and I almost lost it once too. So I can imagine how you feel. Since it's gone, and you're on a budget but wanting a great drip tip...have you looked at the Mings from CherryVape? The coloured swirly ones are $8, made of acrylic...and the stainless steel one is $18. They arrive in beautiful packaging too...Cheryl really put some love into the presentation. And check this out: free shipping! It doesn't get better than that. Better price than the T-Tips, nicer drip tips (if I do say so) direct from the people who designed & make 'em...and free shipping.
I have both kinds of Ming, and they're a real pleasure to vape with...especially the stainless steel one. Plus, they're quite a bit wider than the T-Tip you lost to the deck...so you should be a bit safer with these. Here's the link, and a pic:
That pic's a bit small, hmm...here, you can see my stainless steel Ming in this pic:
One warning re the acrylic ones: make sure you grasp them by the base when you're removing them...as we've heard a few people ended up with broken ones when they didn't. Of course, the stainless steel one doesn't have that issue...it will last you forever.
Anyway...sorry again, and I hope things start going your way soon. Happy vaping dear.

I bought one of the Pawn shaped Cherry Vape tips. I thought it looked pretty cool so figured why not
I got this one:

That sucks! Can I request a moment of silence for Noiz's loss?
You say its not your porch, and the porch is only a few years old right? Well, even "accidents" happen to new porches...
Oh well, noiz think of it as leaving a legacy. Long after humans perish from the face of the earth and the elements erode all signs that our civilization existed. Aliens will land here and the only thing they will find is your drip tip poking out of the sand
go to the doc's office and steal a colonoscopy camera? that little snake thing has gotta work to see with

yeah .... but where it's been!!!
Come on guys!! Noiz is going through a rough patch in his life right now, AND he lost his beloved s/s Drip Tip and now your conjuring up ideas of other uses for "one of those" 
types of medical devices!!
Rather than put him through that, I volunteer to buy him a new D/T. It's the least I could do to save him from using "one of those" devices!!!

Noize, can you even see the drip tip? Does it reflect off a flashlight? Maybe a fish net bent at the net would scoop it up? The nets are usually less than $1 at a pet store.
ya I guess it was a crappy suggestion to use a camera like that
losing your tip in a crack though has to be a real p.i.t.a.
