Driptips

Driptips are removable mouthpieces used with electronic cigarettes, commonly referred to as vapes. They serve as the part of the device that the user inhales from. Driptips come in a wide variety of materials, including plastic, resin, and metal, with each material offering different thermal properties and mouthfeel. The size and shape of driptips also vary significantly, impacting airflow and the overall vaping experience.

These mouthpieces can be categorized by their bore size, which refers to the diameter of the opening through which vapor passes. Narrower bores are often associated with a more restricted draw, mimicking the sensation of smoking a traditional cigarette, while wider bores allow for more airflow, suitable for direct-to-lung vaping. Some driptips are designed for specific tank types or atomizers, while others are universal and can be fitted to most devices.

The primary functions of a driptip are to provide a comfortable and hygienic point of contact for the user and to direct the vapor from the heating element to the user's mouth. They can also play a role in cooling the vapor before inhalation. Due to their exposed nature, driptips are often a point of personalization for vapers, with many choosing them based on aesthetic appeal as well as functional characteristics. Cleaning driptips regularly is recommended for maintaining hygiene and optimal performance.
