Best Drip Tips 2024
The best drip tips available for a personalized vape experience
Two types of drip tips: 510 vs. 810
The two most common size drip tip sizes are called 510 and 810. A simple rule of thumb is 510 tips are narrow, and 810s are wide. Each type of tip works in tandem with how a vape is inhaled, either by mouth-to-lung or direct lung inhales.
The original standard for many years was the 510. Today they are used mostly for mouth-to-lung and restricted lung vaping. Some 510 drip tips may have a wider bore (center channel) than others, but most are around 8.5 mm in outer diameter at the base.
The 810 drip tip was originally popularized by RDAs like the Goon and Kennedy. Becoming the standard for cloud-making devices, 810 drip tips typically have a significantly wider bore than 510 drip tips and are around 12.5 mm in outer diameter at the base. The 810 drip tips are now common in most popular sub ohm tanks and drippers.
Plastic drip tips
For people that tend to lose small accessories, inexpensive plastic drip tips are the way to go. They’re affordable and easy to replace. There are, however, more expensive plastics aimed at vapers that enjoy sub-ohm builds because they’re better at displacing heat. Using these plastics allow vapers to enjoy warm or hot vapes without making their lips uncomfortable. Here are some of the more expensive plastics used in vaping.
