I'm currently using all metal drip tips. But someone suggested to try a plastic or acrylic one. Any experience?

I love my metal drip tips. The only thing I might swap for is a nice looking wide bore shorty pyrex, but I haven't found a nice one yet.
I've used metal, plastic, pyrex, ceramic, and tru-stone. Metal is my least favorite.
I like the way pyrex and tru-stone feels against my lips.

Hi
Something to keep in mind is that the drip tip is in almost constant contact with the juice. If you are vaping a "Tank Cracking" juice polycarbonate and acrylic drip tips will degrade. Often the first thing people notice when there is a problem with the juice is the bottom of the drip tip gets mushy.

Thanks for all the replies. I was just under the impression it might provide a better taste.
For the most part, the materials that drip tips are made of are relatively inert, meaning that they don't impart a flavor themselves or change how a flavor tastes. Some people claim they can taste metal or plastic drip tips. Glass is allegedly the most inert of all of the materials.
Metal is the most temperature conductive of the materials. If its wintertime and you spend a lot of time in a colder climate, the cold metal can be uncomfortable against your lips. Likewise, if you atomizer gets hot, the heat will be transferred by a metal tip. The other materials mentioned do not transfer heat and stay relatively the same temperature.
well it's hotter than Hades in Houston, (I'd imagine if I were in Maine, I'd not want to be putting cold metal to my moist lips or we'd have a "Flick tongue on the flagpole" situation *lol*) I have several of plastic, glass, and metal and there's not much difference honestly.
I like the mflux metal wide bore ones (de ja vu, I thought I posted a pic of them yesterday on a thread)
I've tried those long curvy ones, it's supposed to deliver a cooler inhale, and it was, but it was negligible for me
it's like so much of vape gear, it's totally subjective. Yah like what you like!

I am using a vapelyfe 2.05 Stainless Steel + Acrylic 510 Drip Tip. Its pretty great and comfortable. It also give me better vapor and airflow. Love it!
i mainly use metal drip tips because i think they give me the cleanest look, but i'd lie if i said i've purchased a drip tip in about the last two years....right now i mainly use the drip tip that came with my stillare and the drip tip that came with my stingray x clone
All but one of my kayfun RTA's have metal drip tips. The other one (black) has a delrin tip because I like the way it looks better. On my sub-ohm dripper I have a glass drip tip. It's wide bore and doesn't heat up like the metal ones do.
I like the looks of the metal ones, but they usually get too hot for me... my favorite one right now is stainless steel base with an acrylic top... best of both worlds?
Plus I bored it out on the inside for more flow...

I like the metal ones that have a plastic insulator. Sort of like what comes on the tugboat clone.
