Widening drip tip hole?

[DaDippy]

Soooo not sure if this is the right place to put this buuuuuuuuuut, I just purchased another rba and it happened to come with a drip tip. I didn't look at it much and just purchased the atty. After I got home, I noticed the stock tip in it was amazingly tight in there and I actually thought it might be a permanant tip attached to the atty. it took some elbow grease and a little help from a flathead scfrewdriver, but I got the stock tip out. Now here is the question part, has anyone ever widened a drip top hole, and if so, how did you go about doing it?

I wouldn't try it without at least a good drill press and the exact size bit. It would be simpler to look at the other side of the issue. Have you tried the fit without the o-ring on the driptip? If not a smaller o-ring, you could remove some material from the base of the driptip, provided it is a workable material, i.e. not glass or something. You could wrap some tape on the mouthpiece portion, chuck it in a drill and remove material with needle files and sandpaper until it fits nice.

Unfortunately I don't have access to the proper drill bit or a press I have been using sandpaper, and little by little it seems to be opening up, just not as fast as I had hoped. Oh and the atty is all stainless steel.

Have you tried another drip tip on the atty? to be sure the tip itself isnt the culprit?

Yea I tried all of my tips in there. None of them would fit. I eventually found some 40 grit sandpaper, rolled it up around a screw until it was really snug in the connector, then I proceeded to press down and keep turning and grinding until I got it down to a suitable diameter.

Only bad thing now is my fingers are pretty raw from the sandpaper lol

I usually chain vape on my RDA and find that if I drip through the drip tip some of the juice hits the coil and vaporizes (burns). I just take the cap off and juice the wicks and deck.
