dripper

Faulty tap feature

A dripper is something that drips or causes dripping, whether a leaky faucet, an irrigation device that delivers water slowly to plants, or the spout on a coffee maker.

In vaping, a dripper is an atomizer where liquid is dripped directly onto the heating coil rather than fed from a tank.

In slang, particularly in hip-hop culture, someone with drip—stylish clothes and accessories—may be called a dripper.
