What do you use for tasting juices?

[stols001]

So, I had lovely success with my 15 new mixes, EXCEPT the labels, I used a different marker which appears to have been a bad choice. With about half or more of my juices it has become completely blurred and I have no idea what my juice is (yes, I did wrap my labels with tape, it appears through the dripping process, a little juice got down in there.

So, I'm mixing by smell but this is not ideal since I often like to combine juices in my tank. I need something I can taste juices in easily and quickly so I can at least figure out the flavor profile and what it might be, which is annoying. I don't want to use any of my tanks, really, that's a lot of washing, drying, etc. Should I get a dripper, and if so any recommendations that are easy to rewick?

This is so irritating, but I do have my recipes written down in my notebook, so I'm hoping I can at least match some of them. Any help would be appreciated.... Also, I need to work on my label making skills, clearly.

I have two single coil rdas on the slow boat for tasting. You're building now, you should pick up a couple yourself. Much easier installing a coil in a rda. I ordered the Apocalypse Gen 2 styled rda and Gorge rda from FT.

I use a hadaly. Best thing ever to test flavor. There are plenty of clones of it now.

I have several cheap tube mechs with drippers. I have different builds in each to get the different aspects of each juice. I use ready-x-wick ceramic wicks because it's easy to dry burn and switch flavors without rewicking.

Thanks those are helpful suggestions, I already have some of that ceramic wick, guess I'll have to get an RDA. A Haladay clone? Well, it will be from China, but I'll figure something out with these juices in the meantime, though I really do need something for tasting juices. Thx.

I use whichever RDA I have on hand.

As to your original issue that caused this, I don't do fancy printer labels, I just use blue painters tape and a ultra fine point sharpy marker. The sharpy marks will slowly wear if used on the daily 30ml bottles that you touch a lot but it is a slow enough process I can still make it out and remark them before it vanishes.

I use Kayfun tanks h regulated mods only. Even my aHex Ohms are regulated. I have several drippers in the stash. I've always heard you should taste test with the same things you vape with. I have a Kayfun hybrid dripper that I test with. It's a Kafun base with a dripper cap & no chimney or chamber inside.

I use a little Nimbus clone dripper I got a ways back. I only use one coil and tape the second air hole closed, perfect little MTL dripper. I load it up and vape on it until dry, then for another flavor re-wick and repeat.

Something else that might help. I cut small pieces of paper and label with a single flavor or number for a mix and put it on the bottle with scotch tape, lasts pretty long and is fairly easy to remove. My code for mixes is the cap color and number, use whatever works for you. Below is OR2, RD1, WT1, etc. On the sheet I keep track of the flavors and percentages in that bottle.

I use green painters tape, put a few lengths onto a old back splash kitchen tile for a solid backing to write on. A fine sharpie then cut the piece with a box cutter blade off the tile, works great.
I put a drop on the back of the hand to taste and if I do put some into a atty it only takes a moment to dump, clean then rewick. I can tell pretty good with a drop if its going to even make it into a atty to vape. Dumping 20mls of a no nic test is peanuts.

I use alot if the "yard sale" style stickers, both rectangular and round. I put the round ones in the bottom of the bottle which is typically indented so it doesn't wear as easy.
Secondarily the round ones will also fit on most flavoring flat lids. I find it handy to write strawberry ripe etc.. on the lids so I can see from the side and the top what they are.

For test tasting juice nothing beats a bridge less atomizer

I ordered a couple of LR 306 bridgeless atty's once and they were convenient, but flavor was lacking. I'd be interested in the atomizer brand name, type, and vendor you got yours from. Can you post a link to the one you like?

I was going to use the Nanos for testing, but they are a pita to clean. Decided to go the dripper route. If flavor is not strong enough in the rda, definitely not strong enough for tank.

might not be the best advice but i always put a drop on my finger and taste it..........

 

[Letitia]

I've been advised by several people to taste a drop.

it can be a little rough when its 24mg tobacco

lol Good to know.

It's also a sharp bite/burn on the tongue if the flavoring contains alcohol. Health Cabin Watermelon will make you go and drink a glass of water to stop the burn! Of course that was straight flavoring that I tried, not the final juice mix.

Mixed into the final juice recipe and vaped, it was a great watermelon fruit flavor.

Put some clear nail polish on the text or printing on the label....Not much can permeate that.

Not sure what it is. But the vape shop near by here has some sort of drip that they use to let you taste juices. Doesn't look like it has a wick some small metal plate that they wipe before putting different flavor in.
