Steam Wand Tip

I have a NS single gang with chrome plated wand and the 4 hole tip and IMO it is not a very good tip for making microfoam. I have contacted Espresso Parts and they do not sell a replacement tip.

I am thinking about a female to male fitting and think the fittings used in brake lines may be just the thing, however I do not know the dimensions of my wand, the thread pitch nor do I know the dimensions of the most popular tips.

Anyone here have any info?

Thanks in advance

Is it too fast? You could block two of the holes? JB weld?

And yeah... NS stock tips are super, super fast. They definitely take some getting used to. Faster than most LM I think...

Way to fast. Holes seem larger than most and although I can make microfoam, it is difficult and I don't get a lot of it regardless of which size pot I use. I could do a replacement for the wand, however since mine moves in the front to rear position, it will be difficult, thus my desire just to replace the tip, even if I have to have it custom made.

Anyone know of anyone making customs?
