you think there is no authentic, @StrawberryRipple ? just clones of clones? i googled it and there is little trace of the people that make it. just a couple of french sites that sell them.

Have a look at Kirinite.

I'm looking..... it's not bottle tops melted in a sandwich toaster though is it?

I think 5Avape were outsourced to manufacture the "original" and then went on to churn out the clones.
I suspect this happens a lot as the clones seem to come out so quick and it isnt the first time originals have been sold as clones.
It's probably part of the deal in the first place.

No.
It's used like stabwood for making knife scales and pens.
It is pliable with heat and can be sanded and polished to a mirror finish.

Sure, I was interested really in how easy it was to recycle at home... I was wondering if we might be able to use it, that's all.

Ah think I've probably opened my gob too quick as it were.
Carry on.....

I bet it was 5A's interpretation of the deal

nah, it's alright... I should have maybe said more when I posted the video. Explained my comment a little more.... if you watch the video you'll see what I'm thinking, they made a pretty decent looking pen from some old bottle tops.

I think it would be pretty easy to make drip tips in the same way... I might start collecting caps and give it a go.. see if I can at least make a nice looking lump.

Totally agree @rew. Loving mine soo much I think I’ll have to order another.

Have already ordered a 2nd one from FT. Should ship soon hopefully.

Don't see any reason why not.
If i had the time I'd probably have a workshop with proper tools and machines for things like that.
I suspect one of those mini table top lathes would be ideal for churning out drip tips.
Heat up some bottle tops in an old milk pan on a gas camping stove and let them merge together and cool.
Cut into 20mm or so strips should be easy enough.
