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.

I Love watching you at “work”
We’ll do a properly set up video soon
 
Congrats @BumbleBee - that is amazing!
You got great talent and passion
 
@BumbleBee I know exactly what you mean,thats how I feel when I mix juice,its so therapeutic,then I taste it,and its pathetic!
 
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!
