are all the tips the same size and lenght
will a tip for a 16 fit on a 18 mast
is a 16 tip as long as a 18 tip

or is each mast a different shape and or lenght

H-16 and H-18 Comptips are fundamentally different.

16 Comptip is straight.

18 Comptip is tapered.

Not interchangeable.

Is yours an 18 or 18SX? I am told the SX is about a foot and a half taller. Is the foot and a half additional length in the aluminum extrusion, the comtip, or partially in both?
