Arctic drip tip is lose. Ideas for a new one?

[mikesherp]

Hey guys. I just picked up and arctic tank from my local vape shop, and the drip tip is lose. Not to where it falls out. But it rattles. And its annoying. Any ideas on what I should switch it with. I'm looking for a wide boar tip. Preferably not wood. Thanks.

Pretty much any 510 drip tip should fit. look at the ones at you local B&M and look at the opening for one that is wide bore. The other fix is to replace the o-ring on the drip tip that you have.

A temporary band aid fix that might work is to wrap some dental floss around the groove under the o-ring to force the o-ring out some and tighten it up. I've bought a few drip tips from fasttech for super cheap and they're actually really nice. They have a bunch for under $3 each. I prefer the ones with dual o-rings. They don't wobble for me. Good luck.

Mine wasn't tight, but it wasn't wobbly either. I changed it out because I like a pom tip so less heat transfers.
Bore is the same as the arctic tip, a little more stealth and a lot cooler.
Floss may take up the gap for a quick fix but for the price I grabbed a hand full of these and after friends saw them and jacked them I have 2 left

I like plastic. No heat soak and won't chip my teeth out on a bumpy road.

Oh yeah, and the benefit of keeping all your teeth in your head lol. Good point

I ran a plastic press fit tip on my Arctic tanks because the tips were all loose, and like mayorts I like my teeth.

If looking for a stainless steel drip tip - go for Cartel Drip Tip, made from 304ss True Stainless steel material.

I'd take that sucker back to the store and ask for an exchange.

The drip tip on my Arctic is very tight, almost to the point of being too tight. As someone who used to work in a metal machine shop, it sounds like you got one that was machined at the high end of the tolerance spectrum. I wouldn't settle for a loose drip tip.

My Artic DT was far from loose. Wasn't overly tight either. Perfect fit. I wouldn't understand why but you sure it's not a clone?
