FYI They started out as purely functional - very useful but nothing at all to write home about or talk about. However that is no longer the case and the simple drip tip can be far from purely utilitarian these days. The pimped out drip tips featured here are all mini works of art which are designed to look great in themselves and on the devices they are paired up with. These metal tips are just as functional as their more traditional counterparts but they are also things of intense beauty. Drip tips can be chosen reflect the user’s personality or to compliment the mods they attach to or simply because they look so good on any device. In the same way that car enthusiasts will seek new ways of customising their prized motors, serious vapers have discovered that drip tips are ideally placed to be customised. In this selection we feature an aluminium dragon head drip tip which looks amazingly cool. Dragons of old used to breathe fire but today’s dragons seem more content producing huge cloud of vapour. The bronze Adam & Eve drip tip is one that is sure to get noticed. You will certainly turn heads from vapers and non-vapers alike if you use this and it is bound to be a topic of conversation. The steel bull’s head with its curved horns looks as if it might double up as a bottle opener. I am not sure how effective it would be but now that I come to think about it a drip tip/bottle opener might not be a bad idea at all. The aluminium Hulk’s head and the bronze Wolverine head are two more of the creative quirky designs that caught our eye recently and I think bronze is a particularly good metal choice if you want your drip tip to instantly stand out. The gold-coloured aluminium rose tip reminds me of those tall chimneys you used to see on old industrial mills but it may look like something totally different to you. Finally we have two skull-themed drip tips - one in aluminium and the top-hatted skull in steel. I think the top hat design works particularly well but different people will have different tastes when it comes to drip tip designs. Whether you are happy to use the standard drip tip or want something a little different there is no right or wrong answer about which to choose. Let us know what you are using. We would love to hear from you. Tweet us A snap of your customised mods for a chance to be featured in an upcoming issue! #vapouroundpimpmymod VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE ISSUE 08 199
