I have only been vaping for about two weeks now. I started off with a couple juices, but I have about 10 on the way. I know it takes a while to find the right juice. What I would like some advice on is how you all try them. Right now I am using clearomizers and I hate wasting them on a bad juice or having to clean and wait for them to dry. I wasn't sure if you all used lots of attys, multiple tanks, multiple clearomizers, or just cleaned as you go methods. Cost is another part. I really don't want to spend another $100 on supplies just to try new juices. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I would suggest either a few drip carto's or invest in a Clearo like an Evod or Protank which is bottom feed and use very short wicks. Just put in enough juice to try it and if its not what you like you can take out the head clean it and use another head . Comes with two heads and they go for like 2 bucks. Keep spares. The Protank is better and does the same thing but it is bigger but it has a glass tank. They are easy to clean. Most clearos have a top feed and you waste a lot of juice if you use them to test. The Evod goes for like $6.oo the heads are about $2.00 or less. The Protank goes for like $20.00 but the heads are about the same as the Evod. IMO this is a quick way to change juice if you don't like it. Added bonus is these heads are reparable if you fell like investing in a few tools, wick and wire. I've be doing the rewick thing on Vivi Novas and these are going to be at least as easy.

He just said he wants something to test on with no maintenance, no tank will do either very well.


Dripping = Purest flavor, period undeniable.
Maintenance is practically nothing, just a blow out.

Far less maintenance than redoing the wicks and coil on a dripper. You make it sound as if there's absolutely on maintenance at all on them.

You can't redo the coil on a dripper sir, once the coil wears you throw away the atty. I think you're confusing dripping atty with an RDA which is a rebuild-able dripping atomizer, totally different things.

I said carto's DRIPPER. cartos IMO are not that easy to clean. I just offered an alternative that I prefer. I did suggest a drip carto fist. You didn't read the whole thing obviously.
The EVOD and the protank are bottom feed and only have like 1/4" wick. So if you don't like it you don't waist that much juice easier clean up. IMO

I have 5 cartos that I have removed the filler from...leave the center tube...just drip 2-3 drops, stick in a drip tip and vape 10 or so puffs. They are easy to rinse out when you're finished. Not a long term dripping device, but good for quick sampling. Don't use them on an auto battery. There's a youtube video somewhere that's shows how to do it.

That's how I do it.

But I have read on here somewhere that one person puts the flavor in water and tastes it that way without vaping it. I saw somewhere else that someone used whipped cream. but I would think that the sweetness would get in the way.

Curiosity piqued. With or without nicotine?

510 drip atomizer or 306 drip atomizer with a drip shield and get yourself a drip tip for either. These are the most inexpensive ways to test new liquids, hands down, @the suggestion of a HH.357 weighs out $20 USD compared to $7ish USD tops, have to take that into consideration as well. I have a HH.357, and love it to death for my full time at home dripping, but for testing liquids only I still use 510 attys due to how cheap they are.

Yep, as others have already said, a basic dripping atty is best for trying flavors. When done you can just blow the excess juice out the batt end into a tissue and try another flavor. But I have still found that it might taste one way in the atty and then when you fill a tank with the juice, it tastes different. So just figured I'd throw out there that from my point of view, all juices taste different in different things whether atty, carto or tank. You might like the flavor in one but not the other.

What a brilliant idea!! I have some spare cartos left over from when I started that would work perfectly for this.
