Best way to sample new e-liquids

[TheTristan]

Hey y'all. First off, I'm new to vaping...about a week in. I bought an eGo-C Twist, which I love so far with my Evod Clearos. I have a e-liquid sample pack coming in a few days, and am trying to figure out the best way to sample the flavors via atomizer, or whatnot, before filling up a clearo and being stuck with the flavor until I use it up. Thank you ahead of time

buy a pack of cartomizers. fill one up, vape till it's gone or you decide you don't like the flavor, dispose of, or clean it out and that should work for you. Or you can buy a dripping atomizer which is what most people use if I'm not mistaken. I'm still a little new to this myself but from what I've read so far the drip atomizer seems to be the preferred method.

Don't fill them up... just put a little in at a time

you really only need enough in there to wet the wick (just about up to the middle of that rubber disk you can see through the window.. about 1/4 or so)

But then you need to rinse them all between flavors. There are drippers out there that will be better if you get some of them. I'm sure someone will be along shortly with a link....

I use a rebuildable atomizer and drip. You can get them for less than $10.

Hi

Dripping is probably the best way to try new juices. I just use regular atomizers to drip. It takes a little practice, but isn't very hard. You don't have to build/rebuild anything. I have a blog about dripping that goes into more detail:

Drip, Drip, Drip…

Hi TheTristan, Welcome to the ECF. This video should get you enough of a clear picture on dripping that you can select an atomizer to test flavors. A PBusardo Review - Cisco, the HH.357, & My Life As A Dripper - YouTube it is a little long, but it will be worth it to watch since you are new, and you are after the best way to test new flavors. You do not require a "dripping atomizer" any standard 510 atty will work just fine, like this> Joyetech Joye 510 Atomizer and you will want a simple drip tip, any one that suits your fancy like these> Drip Tips E Cigarette . Then you will just drip a few drops onto the atomizer, place you tip, and take a good clean vape. Its that simple really. This is the only way that I test any liquids. I know folks who still use this method to vape every day because it allows the liquid to be presented so well. If you find you like dripping as your main vape, then look into some of the high-end dripping atomizers. Good Luck. Happy Vaping.

I've been using the stingray 510 bridgeless atomizer for tasting samples that I order. Works great. The House of Vapor has them for $8.99.

I got one of these little widgets myself:

510 3-Hole Dripping Atomizers (2.0-2.5 ohm). Works pretty well for testing flavors.

Though I've never been a fan of dripping. Then again, me, I'm probably doing it wrong or something.

 

[TheTristan]

I wasn't expecting such fast responses! Thank you guys, everything helped a ton, in figuring out how I can sample my juices. I stumbled across 'horizontal' coiled atty's...would that make any difference than the traditional coiled atty's for juice sampling?

If I can do it, you can do it.

Do you mean a "horizontal coiled cartomizer?"

 

[TheTristan]

Crap. I do. That wouldn't work, would it?

Not really. A cartomizer has batting wrapped around to coil to hold the juice. I mean you could use it if you wanted to, but you'd be filling a carto... with dripping you get 4+/- puffs (I don't pay attention) per drop; you don't use very much.

This is a 510 atomizer:

This is a single-coil cartomizer (the kind you were looking at has a horizontal coil, instead of a vertical one):

This might be a stupid question, but, what's the deal with 510-510 adapters? That doesn't make sense to me.

Agreed, was just about to ask this question.

The best way is to get a drip atty. Dripping provides, in my opinion, the truest flavor profile. Cartos, and wicks in evods, protanks, T3s, clearomizers and etc seem to mute the flavor slightly.

As for drip attys there are many options. I'm not familiar with ego-c twists. I assume it has a 510 connection so I would suggest a 510 bridgeless atty. I buy them by the box when I can (as I use them to test juice I'm DIYing) and they can be cleaned via dry burning or soaking in ethanol and then allowing to dry overnight (everclear, vodka or whatever clear grain spirit you like but never use Isopropryl "rubbing" alcohol).

Some will recomend using cartos, and that is an option. However, in my opinion, cartos and wick systems seem to mute flavors slightly. Also with cartos if you're testing strong flavors (and decide you don't like that flavor) you basically have to throw away that carto. Strong flavors soak into the carto filling (I guess its polyfill--like in a stuffed toy but I'm not positive that it is such) and will bleed over into any other flavor you put into that carto.

Here's another noob question...anything like this available for 808s? I am two days in with a Halo G6 using mini-tanks, and I love it...would like to try the 15 or so flavors in my next vapemail without filling my extra tanks. I also have 5 LR carts that I really hate compared to the tanks, and not afraid to experiment with homemade for now...

 

[Phatlip]

Bridgeless atty? I am going to look into that some more. I have seen that mentioned quite a bit for dripping. Thanks for all the advice here!

Dripping for sure. I like the HH357, the IGO-L, some Phoenix's, and the Vision Eternity. I've used the little RDA's for test tasting and recently got this pack of 5:

$24.14 RDA Mini Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer (5-Pack / 1.2mL) 5-pack - assorted color / 1.0

When a new test group comes in, I can easily try several flavors at once. I think I have enough devices to test about ten different juices without dumping one on the other. However, it's not that big a deal if you do, just takes a bit longer to get to the new flavor. The Vision Eternity is actually designed to allow multiple flavors on top of one another and works fairly well. A lot of vapor. You can go high end now. See lotsa folks walking around with a Nimbus on their new mechs. Big clouds. Suggest you get one of the many drippers out there. Best to you!
