My First Drip Tip

[Bambua]

I spent much of my free time doing wood working, within the last few years I purchased a lathe and spend a lot of time time working on it, building various different things. One of the things I produce on a regular basis are pens made from acrylic:



Last week I purchased my first RBA, and had seen a few people make drip tips for them, so I took a few minutes, planned out how I wanted to do it, and this was my first effort:



Its a smoke and purple colored acrylic and I'm VERY happy with it!

Let me know what you all think!

Nice! Press fitted?

It actually has a single o-ring on it. I tried with a friction fit but it was such a tight tolerance to go between so tight you feel like you are going to break it to get it in, but so loose it's going to fall out.

Looks pretty nice

Here's a better shot of the color, the lighting was bad when I took the shot last night:

Very nice. I like the shape, simple but not without some style. I have previously wished I had the skill and equipment to make my own drip tips.

Nice job and beautiful! I am a handcrafted drip tip addict and there is a demand for them

As soon as I get a bit better with the process you might just see these up on my website in the future

Thanks for the kind words all!

Pretty cool Bambua!

I had the same thought somewhere along the line, and have since bought two lathes, a bunch of tools, and a bit of material. I'm about $600 into it and have yet to turn a drip tip... Paved roads, good intentions, and all that.

I have made a couple of wood pipes though, so I guess that's something

Woodworking is one of the things that keeps me sane, I probably turn 15-20 pens a week for my craft business. This is just something new to try.

You will sell them like hotcakes! We women especially love the handmade pretty acrylic drip tips. Men like them too but are not as fanatical about it. LOL Wooden and true stone ones are popular as well. If you decide to make them to sell, have a variety of shapes and sizes. I have approximately 35 hand crafted tips that I switch around on different mods. Most are acrylic, some true stone and wood with a variety of shapes including wide bores for dripping. Will not vape on anything other than the handmade
