Drip Tips

3 products

Being new to vaping is a challenging but exciting experience. There's so much for you to learn, among this the different terms used by vapers. You will also need to know the different parts of a vaporiser. Among those parts is the drip tip. Drip tips are a crucial part of your vape device. Although it can't make or break your vape experience, it can impact significantly enough for you to notice a difference.

What Are Drip Tips?

A drip tip is also called the mouthpiece. It's a section of an atomiser or tank that comes in direct contact with the lips of the vaper. To many, the drip tip is an accessory. In most cases, it is removable and replaceable with an option of your liking. The drip tip has one or two O-rings. The O-rings are placed on the drip tip or inside the top cap of the atomiser.

How Do Vape Drip Tips Work?

The role of the vape drip is to pass the vapour from the device into the mouth of the user. The drip tip can directly influence the vaping experience, depending on how narrow it is. Narrow drip tips have a tighter mouth to lung or direct lung draw. Wider tips have more airflow and are more suited for a looser direct lung draw. Wider tips are best for DL applications.

510 Vs 810 Drip Tip

When purchasing a vape device, one of the specifications you should check is the drip tip size. There are two main types of drip tips: the 510 and the 810-drip tip.

The 510 options are the most commonly used. It has been the industry standard for a couple of years now. However, you shouldn't be concerned because, in some of the devices, the mouthpieces are interchangeable.

510 drip tips are common in vape pens and box mod kits. You are more likely to find a 510-drip tip on devices that don't come with a powerful sub-ohm tank.

The standard 510 mouthpieces will usually have one or two small O-rings around their base. However, it's not unusual to find options that don't have O-rings. The seals are usually places inside the top section of the tank. In such cases, the devices will not work with regular 510 drip tips.

810 drip tips are much wider. These hit the market courtesy of some of the top RDAs. They are revered for their flavour production. Since they were first introduced, the 810 drip tips have rapidly become popular.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a vape drip tip?


A drip tip is the mouthpiece of a vape tank or atomiser. It attaches to the top of the device and allows you to inhale vapour comfortably while also helping to control airflow and heat.

Are all drip tips the same size?


No. Drip tips come in different sizes and fittings, with the most common being 510 and 810. It’s important to choose a drip tip that matches your tank or device connection type to ensure a proper fit.

What is the difference between 510 and 810 drip tips?


510 drip tips are smaller and often used for mouth-to-lung vaping, offering a tighter draw. 810 drip tips are wider and designed for sub-ohm vaping, allowing for increased airflow and larger vapour production.

Do drip tips affect vape flavour?


Yes, to some extent. Drip tips can influence airflow, vapour temperature and how concentrated the flavour feels. A narrower tip may provide a more focused flavour, while a wider one produces cooler vapour and bigger clouds.

Can I change the drip tip on my vape tank?


Most vape tanks allow you to change the drip tip, as long as you use the correct size. Simply remove the existing tip and replace it with a compatible one. Always check your device specifications first.

What materials are vape drip tips made from?


Drip tips are commonly made from materials such as resin, stainless steel, Delrin or acrylic. Each material offers different benefits, including heat resistance, durability and comfort during vaping.

Why does my drip tip get hot when vaping?


A drip tip can become warm when vaping at high wattages or using sub-ohm coils, as more heat is produced. Using a heat-resistant material like Delrin or switching to a wider airflow setup can help reduce heat build-up.
