Note: I posted this over in reddit first, but they're not particularly interested in Billet Box Stuff. My brother on here as onitsuj suggested you all would be interested.
I purchased this and had no intention of reviewing it but I liked it so much that I felt I had to share my experiences with you all.

Pros:
Overall build quality is EXCELLENT! The material used is quite dense and the tip is heavier than it appears giving it the feel of a quality product in hand. The tip has a wide inner diameter which makes the draw silky smooth without sacrificing the thickness of the outer wall. One of the gripes that I have with other drip tips I've used on the Billet Box is that if the inner diameter of the tip is wide then the outer walls are thin which makes the tip feel flimsy and when the outer walls are thick then the diameter of the hole is smaller making the draw tighter. I feel like goldilocks looking for a bed and Nolli made it for me. The design allows it to slot seamlessly into the nut on the top of the Billet Box allowing you to swap tanks without having to find a screwdriver. It sits flush and stays put. When you want to, it's easy to remove. The tolerances are perfect.
Cons:
Price. $26 bucks plus shipping is the most I've ever spent on a drip tip. It's often backordered and I think it took about two weeks to arrive. Now for the big con, which does nothing to dampen my enthusiasm for the drip tip. The finishing on the bottom was not as finely done as it was on the rest of the tip (see pictures). While it is on a part of the drip that will never see the light of day, it seemed pretty incongruous to the care and attention paid to every other aspect of the design and finishing. There was some extra material left on the bottom from what seemed like the milling process. It fell off after taking the tip off and putting it on a few times.
Overall:
I love this thing and am likely going to order another for my second Billet Box and will probably buy another few for my brother. By far the best drip tip I've ever used, great draw, multipurpose, and beautiful. Well worth double what I paid for it in terms of the pleasure I get out of looking at and using it.
Extra:
I reached out to the folks at Nolli Designs on Facebook before posting this to check if perhaps I got a drip tip that slipped past QC. Kyle, the owner, was immediately responsive and though my tip wasn't outside of their normal expectations, they were very accommodating to my questions. They even gave me a promo code to share with everyone here. Use the code OVERMELHO10% for 10% off. Here is the link to the drip tip:

I was also inspired to do this because of my favorite YouTube vape reviewer, Jai Haze,
