I've looked around a good bit in the group and cant seem to find a good distributor for cheaply priced MK 7 or MK 8 nozzles. I would prefer MK 7 from what I have heard, but I am wondering where the community is getting theirs. Mine is starting to get pretty beat up and its about time to replace it after roughly 1000 hours (Makerbot stock) mainly for aesthetics but i think the tip has started to wear as well.
SO: Where do you guys get your nozzle replacements. If it is somewhere like ebay or Ally, if you could link them that would be awesome. I want a cheap one so I can buy a bunch and also so I dont feel bad if I screw up a $15 one. It would also be nice if they fit a socket like the E3D ones.
Thanks! Wes

I've been happy with the mk8 nozzles I've picked up from Micro Swiss:

I mostly use Precision 3D and Micro Swiss coated nozzles these days, they're worth the extra cost. The coatings reduce wear and make sit easier to keep the nozzles clean.
Last set of regular brass nozzles I bought were from QU-BD.

The coating on coated upgrade nozzles have a smoother surface finish owing to the coating -- but I also think that they are more carefully manufactured. I've purchased various brass nozzles over the years, and some of them are quite shoddily made and in some cases way off center!
