because you can drip into and through them into your atomizer, like with a dripper
also, if you vape enough, you can turn them upside down and it will drip slightly

IMO, drip tips are best used on RDAs. But yeah, they're drip tips because you drip into them to soak your cotton. They're a lot more convenient than having to pull the tip or cap off the RDA every 5 pulls to re-drip.
Drip tips have to be wide enough to drip through them. I see a lot of mouthpieces that are too small to drip into being incorrectly labeled as drip tips. I guess "drip tip" is becoming synonymous with mouthpeices

Because there are devices widely used that you just drip your juice into the mouthpiece, down onto the coil. The name just stuck.
The first mouth pieces for vaping were to extend the atomizer with something that was not metal. You dripped your juice into the large hole in the tip to soak the atty.
The name stuck, but more and more of us are calling the ones we use mouth-pieces these days.

So you cant use a true drip tip as its supposed to function on a clearomizer right? Bc I got a mini protank 2 and if I could fill it up w.o havin to unscrew it that would be awsome but I dnt think they work like that right?
Srry for being a total newbie to this ....

i still just take off the whole top cap real quick and drip. i hate when my drip tip has juice left in it. i wash them out each night.
My earliest experience led me to believe the they got the name because there was frequently a small drop of liquid adhering to the tip.
Whether you drip through the tip or take the tip off to drip into the atomizer, the original point of a drip tip is to have something to put your mouth on besides the actual hot, metal atomizer when dripping.
Before drip tips, people made their own with whatever they could find, like the rubber gripper on fountain pens. Anything to not burn your lips on the hot atty.

Are all drip tips or mouth pieces a universal size? I got a mini protank 2 and would love to get a few diff tips to customize my setup
Most are designed for 510's (what you have) unless they specifically state otherwise.

I have several short wide bore tips for my Nautilus tanks. They don't fit on my new Aerotank V2. Any suggestions?
Don't fit as in won't sit down or fall off?
How many o rings on the tips?

It fits in but doesn't go into the recessed part of hole that the bottom of the original tip goes into. Does that make sense? One oring which is still partially visible when I insert it in the Aerotank.
Can't think of why it wouldn't fit. Some tips require more force to get them to set in properly but it should push down and sit flush.

Back in the day there were no clearos, RBAs, RDAs, etc and you had to use a little atty that was fed via a cartridge that was located where the mouthpiece is. The cartridges held little liquid and didn't feed all that great, so people started dripping juice directly on the atty instead of feeding via the cartridge.
When dripping like this you no longer need the cartridge, and the cartridge would hinder performance anyway since it would squeeze the vapor through little passages. You still need a mouthpiece though so as to avoid sucking on a hot metal atty, so people started modifying the cartridges by drilling them out, or buying tips/mouthpieces sold/made specifically for people who were dripping, to give them a nice mouthpiece without dealing with the cartridge.
So basically it's called a drip tip, because they used to be a mouthpiece made/used specifically for people dripping on the disposable attys. Over time the 510 drip tip became somewhat of a standard for mouthpieces in all vaping gear, it's purpose now disconnected from the name, but the name remains anyway.

Anything that's fairly cheap and made by tons of different companies is going to have some tolerance issues. Some fit looser or tighter than others, some may not fit at all, but generally they should.
Take off the o-ring and see if it fits without it, if not you don't have many options other than sanding down the base of the drip tip, or boring out the hole on your tank. If it does fit without the o-ring getting a smaller one will help, or possibly switching o-rings around between the tips you have until one works.
