Can someone turn something for me?

[Gemok]

Hi Everyone

I'm not a turner and don't have a lathe, I trying to find someone who is willing to make me something called a drip tip out of acrylic.

There is as far as I can find one guy in the UK making and selling them but he only makes a few as a hobby and they all sell in minutes :(.

The shape I'm after is like this steel one



The widest part is 22 mm

Can anyone help me out?

Any one who is willing to do it will need more than just a photo they would need all of the measurements from the tip to the bottom and the O ring sizes I must say it looks an interesting project but not for me

 

[Grump]

It looks like an e-Cig drip tip.
How many do you want?

 

[Gemok]

It is an ecig drip tip I was after a couple of them if possible for my kangertech subtanks. I can get the measurements if someone is interested in making them for me. These are wider than most pen blanks I've seen though.

post the measurements I may make one for myself and see if they are good enough then let you know.

 

[paulm]

Very interesting indeed and I look forward to seeing the results

 

[Gemok]

I've done my best to guesstimate to measurements from the pics and other sources. Working top to bottom
top diameter 15 mm
thinnest part of taper 9 mm
then base 22mm
sticky out bit 8.5mm diameter
o'rings diameter 5.6mm
o'rings width 1.8 mm
stubby bit height 5 mm
Hourglass height 25mm
total height 30 mm
Hole diameter 5 mm

The "premium" drip tips use a steel insert for the sticky out bit I've only found one seller of these who is not uk based SS DRIP TIP INSERT

These are very cheap.

 

[Gemok]

These are very cheap.

Yes they are they even cheaper on Chinese websites, I've got some like that but I'm after one like the picture in the first post which is much bigger and fills the top of my tank. These are NOT cheap

Pity you are so far away.

What is the 'sticky out bit' ? Is it the spigot on the base that holds the 2 O-Rings?

 

[TonyMac]

I'm new pen turner, and as an e-cig user for 2 years, hope to use my lathe for drip tips and pipe stems, mostly in acrylics.
When I can find nice acrylic. Hope to heat bend them for e-pipes.

Yes the bottom part with the o rings

 

[donwatson]

Yes the bottom part with the o rings

I will have a look if you like. PM sent

I make them and do a few.

These are some recent wood tips

Be careful what woods you stick in your gob init?
Bad enuf sucking a battery now your chewing a tree too.
Source of ignition and flammable material inside a great big wind tunnel sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

Intriquing little sucker.
