I've been thinking about this theoretically. If we increase the drip tip length, say doubling it, will it have a noticeable effect on the strength of the vape? I would think it would dilute the vape since more air is between the coil and our mouth, and that air gets mixed in. Or is the effect negligible since we draw a ton of air per vape compared with the quantity of air in the drip tip initially?
will a longer drip tip decrease the strength of the vape？

to my knowledge it should merely cool the vape more... short tip, warmer vape than a longer tip... bottom coil cooler than a top coil...
i may be wrong but thats my opinion

i don't notice any difference in vapor production, flavor or throat it when using my 2 inch drip tip. i fill my dripper though the air hole well i gently take a drag on the device. the longer drip tip makes it easier to see what i am doing when trying to load it up.
Long drip tips make me giggle. Even if they do cool the vape (I prefer a hotter vape anyways) I would never be able to look at my mod with a straight face.
Oh my, what a big drip tip you have...
I have one like that too that I use for filling carto tanks... Well when I used to use carto tanks.
Here is my favorite all day rig.

whats the inside diameter on that drip tip?
I'm not sure. It's called the Odachi drip tip. Got it from Kidney Puncher in the special tab.
It is pretty much a straight through design. Dripping is really easy even while driving.
^ dang that looks like a huge inside diameter, like 5+ MM. most 510 drip tips are around 3-3.5 MM inside diameter.
the hole for the 510 drip tip to attach to the atty housing is 8.5 MM

It's my favorite drip tip. As far as this vs my other longer drip tips I don't feel a temp change or anything... the only thing I really notice is the draw is easier/smoother (due to the wide diameter).
I've only used the drip tips that came with whatever I bought at the time, and two standard metal drip tips, so I'm just guessing here. I do know from reading here that, just as someone has said already, a longer drip tip will cool the vapor down a little. But as for diluting the vape, the only thing that I could think of that would do that would be bigger air holes, or a faulty o-ring that doesn't seal the base to the thingy, (yes, that is what it is called). If you don't modify the air holes, you should be getting the same vapor/air mix whether the tip is long or short. I think.
Because you're creating suction when you draw there isn't much air in the drip tip when the vapor goes through. As another poster said, the only thing that would really add more air to the vapor is a larger air hole or bad o-rings. Like a different poster said, it will cool the vapor. The more space between your mouth and the coil, the cooler the vapor will be. Depending on what kind of hardware you're using and what the drip tip is made of, you could end up with a really cool vapor. I used an e-pipe with a Peterson stem from e-pipe mods for a while and the vapor wound up super cool but not diluted in any way.
In my experience the longer drip tip cools the vape.
I have experienced a different flavor from different drip tips. For example, my ADV is Melon Boba from GLV; on some drip tips I don't get that cream finish nearly as strongly. I use the Ogive (a.k.a. the bullet) drip tip and that little bit of extra air seems to ... (how can I put this) let the vape develop and I get the cream flavor finish. With Jezebel (which I got a 5ml sample of from Seduce Juice) I preferred the Shorty because the warmer vape and shorter mouth piece seemed to deliver more flavor.
Just my

So basically everyone is saying a longer drip doesn't dilute the vape, only cools it. The amount of air that mixed is more dependent on the size of the air hole? Because the larger the air hole, the faster the flow rate for a given draw time. That makes sense.
However, let's take the extreme case of using a 1 foot long drip tip, with a huge diameter. I can't imagine that the vape will be not be diluted even if the air hole on the other end stays small. We'll be drawing on the air that exist in the drip tip for the most part and the vape will never get to our mouth. Or is it all relative? We inhale about a 500 ml of air per draw, so as long as the volume of the "initial" air stay small, it shouldn't dilute the vape much. But as that volume increases, it'll dilute it. Do you agree? I just imagine it to be like this.
thx

and the jokes that would follow..
wonder how one of the hookah machines
and their long delivery, sizes up with theory...?

Joking aside, a drip tip, long enough would eventually condense the vapor to a liquid. We've all had liquid vape on our tongues one time or another and most would say that wasn't a good experience or taste for that matter.
My conclusion is that it would affect the taste to a small degree which would likely be hard to detect with a tip that's a bit longer than normal.

Because of this thread I am now on the hunt for a 1 foot or longer drip tip (might make one myself) just so I can make jokes with it.
