I have so many tanks and drippers that I enjoy, most come with goon or 810 drip tips with 510 adapters. While I do enjoy my 510 tips I just find the goons easier because I'm not really a fan of adapters, but the flip side is that the standard goon tips are just too big and most encourage your lips to touch a pretty warm piece of metal. So I decided to make a tip that fits the bigger openings but has the comfort of a 510 tip.

This has turned out pretty well for me because I really enjoy creating things, I find it calming and it's a way for me to unwind. Each of these tips is completely hand made, no CNC equipment is used, all the tips are finished off by hand and polished to a glasslike shine without any of those nasty clear coats that the mass produced resin tips are sporting these days. I don't use jigs or templates, each is unique, each is a piece of art.

Here's a video of the tip pictured above being created, the video has of course been shortened as it took considerably longer than 7 minutes to make ;)



Thanks goes to @Bumblebabe for shooting the footage and editing it, dankie babe ;)

It's a lot like doodling, or making sandcastles on the beach.

I have made a few that I will be loading on the site later this week, more will be loaded as they happen.

Absolutely, you go all zen while you're working on it, until something grabs, then the zen goes away. Thank goodness for face shields :D

Yeah !! They were intent on showing us what will happen when you don’t pay attention and respect the machine in the first five minutes of industrial safety :eek:

Yep, it can get scary. Respecting the equipment is vital, and generally applies to most things in life. I've been using mechs for years and still close one eye when I put a fresh battery in :couch:

Do the exact same thing with circuit breakers... even though I know I’m not touching anything conductive :confused:

Oh hell no, I don't do electricity, once bitten twice I'm never touching that sh1t again. When there is a thunderstorm I turn lights and plugs off with a wooden spoon.
 
Oh wow! This is very exciting to see! Congrats to both @BumbleBee and @Bumblebabe !!!!

I need to go and check my collection and see what is missing so I can stress you out with requests!
