Hi everyone!
So I don't know how they do it where you all live, but at the b&ms where I live you can test the flavors in the store before buying. Problem is they have them in cheap little clearomizers and I don't feel like those do justice to how they'll taste in my drippers... I suppose maybe I could ask if they'd spare me a few drops in my own device:). Do the shops you guys go to do the same or have they come up with a better way to sample? I suppose it's not practical for them to be using rdas and stuff to sample... But at least a protank or something would be nice... Anyways I guess I'm just half curious how other stores do it and half just rambling:)

That's how it is at most of the B&M shops around me as well. They just want to give you a general idea of what the flavor tastes like, not burn up half their juice with a massive cloud. Most of the time, the employees can tell you the differences between using said juice in a clearo vs. RBA vs. RDA etc. I think that if you asked nicely enough, I'm sure they could spare a few drips :)

I've seen both the drip and the ego testers. Those with the ego tanks tend to have burnt coils. Those with the drips tend to give you just a couple of hits and it's hard for me to determine what I'm testing.

So, with either I get get a sense of if I'm gonna like it or not I'll go home with a 10ml bottle to better test if I like it.

Today I brought home a root beer flavor from my local B&M vendor. OMG, it's not unlike the taste I remember getting from a root beet popsicle. If I bring home a vape I later don't like it get mixed with the "pot luck" emergency vape and that is getting very interesting. :)

I used to do that pot luck thing too. I've had some very nice outcomes from that and for what doesn't work out a bit of menthol cures almost anything for me ;)

Must be nice to be able to sample juice before buying. I was never able to do that when I was buying juice.
