Choosing Your Tip: 9mm, 10mm, and Beyond
A deep-dive into tip selection — materials, sizes, fold styles, and how diameter affects your experience.
Tip Materials
Tips come in cardboard, glass, quartz, and wood. For a doink, cardboard tips 9mm+ are traditional. Glass tips add a premium touch but change the weight distribution.
Diameter Guide
- 9mm — Entry-level doink. Good draw, portable.
- 10mm — The sweet spot. Balanced airflow and capacity.
- 12mm+ — Statement piece. Reserve for special sessions.
Fold Styles
The M-fold (also called W-fold) is the classic doink tip. It creates a filter channel that prevents material from reaching your lips while maintaining full airflow.
