Come on now! I’ve had a couple layered tips delaminate on me, usually when they were getting close to being whooped out.
When using a solid tip, I know right away after install if it’s N.F.G. (No Freaking Good). Otherwise that tip is good to go. Also. A pressed single layer tip seems to maintain a more consistent feel throughout the life of the tip. A layered tip gets harder and harder as the shots go by.
Just a hack here, so grain of salt, but I pay attention to this shit and don’t think I’ m talking out my rear here.
