Protank II - Removable drip tip - why?

[Bramble]

So I decided I needed a couple of glassomizers in order not to worry about damaged tanks from certain eJuices. I went with the Protank II and Mini Protank II. I haven't received them yet but I'm kind of excited to get them and already have a stupid question.

Both of them come with "removable drip tips."

Is this a cool thing? Why? What do you do with them?

Some don't like the metal tips, so prefer being able to change them out. Or just want to "bling" them with something more decorative. Or prefer a different shape.

because changing drip tips is Fun and useful....would you want to place stainless to your lips at -18 ?

My PT mini does *not* have a removeable driptip, and I hate the metal taste!

 

[Bramble]

Thank you! Yeah I kind of wonder why they would make the tips of metal, it kind of seems like a dental emergency waiting to happen but what do I know. I've only ever used inexpensive plastic clearomizers before ... lol

Ok so this doesn't mean you can actually drip with the tanks? Maybe I want to drip. What would I need?

Welcome Yes, chipped front teeth waiting to happen!

No, for dripping you need a dripping atomizer, not a clearo or tank type. For dripping, you'd need a different type topper. Then get used to dripping in a few drops, vaping 4 or 5 times, and adding some more. Lot's of vapers like it that way, and it's certainly a great way to try different flavors, as they're easy to clean. I just have a lot of toppers, each with it's own flavor. I like the convenience of having a full tank.

Thank you again! Yes I could see how having a drip atomizer would be nice so you can sample a flavor before buying it. Though, like you - I keep lots of tanks loaded with flavors It would be nice to see if I like something before committing to a whole bottle though. I'll have to look into those when I get my new tanks!

Drip tip is what goes into your mouth lots of GERMS etc. I like it because a quick rinse under the sink and it's clean again.

Beware I broke my glass the first week fell from only 9 inch; ordered another glass $2.99.

I have protank1's never broke the glass even after three or four falls from my shirt pocket.

Drip tips come in a plethora of shapes and colors. I've found a particular style I like and it's convenient for me to color code my different flavors. Then there's the whole dental accident waiting to happen while driving thing you noticed. The material; steel, aluminum, ceramic, plastic, wood, etc change the nature of the vapor so you can tailor your vape by changing materials.

A removable driptip also helps with cleaning it.

I like being able to clean and swap drip tips. My favorite materials are stainless, aluminum and ceramic in that order.

The drip tip makes a huge difference. You'll get a different vape from a drip tip with a wide hole than you will with one with an itty bitty hole, and the material of the drip tip actually does affect the taste. Also, you'll get a much cooler vape with a metal drip tip than you will with a plastic or acrylic drip tip. You might think that little inch doesn't matter but it does; if the vapor has to pass through a cold metal drip tip, it's going to cool off substantially.

Well, you still have to buy the bottle, but you can get "sample packs" from some vendors.

Best way to try out flavors is at a local B&M. Most have "vape bars", where you can taste test their wares. And they're all set up, you don't need anything. While store prices are probably more than online, it's a good way to narrow the field. Some stores are WAY out of line, some aren't too bad on the price.

This makes me really glad I bought them!

Yes a couple of our local shops offer samples, and are set up with the "rubbers" on them so you can try them but eh... I rather try them using my own PV
