Impervious Drip Tips
Injection-moulded certified IMSL antimicrobial drip tips
Overview
Impervious Drip Tips are precision engineered, high-performance mouthpieces designed for modern vaping devices. They combine advanced material science with thoughtful user-centric functionality to deliver a safer, cleaner, and more comfortable vaping experience.
Key Features & Innovation
IMSL-Certified Antimicrobial Material:
Manufactured using injection-moulded polymers infused with silver-based antimicrobial particles, the material actively inhibits bacterial growth on contact surfaces. This provides built-in hygiene protection without coatings that can wear away over time.
Hot Liquid Deflection System:
An internal captive ball mechanism is engineered to intercept and disperse hot e-liquid before it reaches the user’s mouth. This significantly reduces spit-back and improves comfort during use, enhancing both everyday reliability and user safety.
Integration of Form and Function:
The internal geometry and ball-capture system are optimised to balance airflow, reduce splashback, and maintain consistent vapour delivery. The design minimises dead space and supports efficient draw dynamics.
Manufacturing Quality:
All drip tips are fully assembled at the injection-moulding facility, ensuring tight quality control and consistent performance. Clean assembly processes support material integrity and product reliability.
Role in Development
As the product designer/manufacturer, I was responsible for:
Concept development and functional design of the hot-liquid dispersion system.
Specifying antimicrobial polymer formulation and validating IMSL certification requirements.
Defining injection-moulding tooling parameters and assembly processes.
Coordinating with the moulding partner to refine part features for manufacturability and performance.
Impact and Value
Impervious Drip Tips elevate a commonplace vapour accessory into a hygienic and comfort-focused solution. By integrating antimicrobial technology and a self-regulating internal mechanism, the product sets a new benchmark for user safety and usability in vaping peripherals.
