Can't see why some tanks, clear's, etc. make juice taste better than others

BTW Beer in a can does taste better than in a bottle. Coke in a can also taste better in than a bottle. Beer and Coke in a bottle = Flat taste
I've got a can of Coke that's a couple of years old. Care to drink it? You like the taste of aluminum that much?? I don't. ;) OTOH, I've had beer that's been stored in the bottle in the beer fridge for five years and it was abso-friggin-lutely delicious.

If its been in the fridge all that time wouldn't bother me a bid, pop/beer in a can can go bad just as easy in a bottle. If you looking for someone to have a beef with you're vaping up the wrong tree.

Sorry, I'm deeply associated with Beer Snobs and if it comes out of a can, it can't be Good Beer. :rolleyes:
I was being somewhat tongue-in-cheek; my sarcasm didn't carry well. Not looking to pick fights, not my style. But I've had beer and soda that sat in the can too long and it tasted like the can. Never had that problem with brown-bottled beer. Personal experience. YMMV. TETO.

My dad worked at a can plant. Pop/Beer cans are lined with protective polymeric coatings that protect the product or liquid from aluminum contaminants and the coating also protects the liquid from giving a can or metal taste. Cans do not give liquid a taste, People mistake a metal taste in a can for acidity. Not saying a can of beer/pop can't go bad, but if it does more than likely its a flaw in the coating of the inner can. Pop/Beer in a can has more of a bite(acidity) than in a bottle, thats why I prefer can

Honestly there is less chemicals than there are in tobacco rewarding your dopamine system and thus less of your dopamine system telling you 'you really like the taste of this do it more!' So hence vape tongue and one week liking one tank and one week liking another, one week nothing but dripping or sub ohming lungers will do it for you, next week you're on an EVOD. One day you can vape a juice all day long, next day it tastes bland.... One week zero nicotine works for ya, next week you need 12mg....

Some of us have to work hard to keep it working ....

I'm looking forward to the day WTA becomes mainstream and affordable....

As I said earlier I think maybe my problem is taste buds. Last night I pulled out my V2's from storage and loaded a cart up, it was a little better but not as good as I remember when I vaped them. I also maybe thought I might have errored when I made the juice, I am very careful but no one is perfect. I may have shorted my flavor %. Also I did up the NIC % from 4mg to 7.5mg, that might have been a factor. I'm gona make a batch at 4mg and see if that's it. I am 61 and with age our taste buds can fail so that could be part of it. Hopefully the dripper I get will be good, it'll be my first one so I have high hopes.

The difference is all of the above, coil, power, air flow, air volume, ect..... The shape and size of a tank affect how air mixes with the vapor.. How that occurs greatly affects flavor and clouds.

The difference is all the above, the sum of all parts and specifically your juice. You find in the EVOD the most comprehensive expression of the juice's qualities, based ultimately...on the temperature and flow applied. In other words the correct balance of vaporization efficiency for that particular juice given the varying elements. Have had this same experience and observation myself regarding the EVOD and 3Ts. It's definitely easier to build for it than a Protank. Variations on the latter are more obvious. That's to say the basic clearomizer is more fault tolerant. Whereas the PT and now Subtanks are more precise and demanding.

Now the real important question is…how did you do it? Can you do it twice?


I introduced the principles of strain here on ECF to help users quickly duplicate precise wind and temperature results. A pin vise, some bits and 30 seconds will give you the repeatable stable circuit you're looking for. The rest of the process of installation to keep that great geometry you just spun is well described on the threads by others and myself…

Give a shout on these threads for assistance. Some veteran subscriber will pop up or hail me. Always glad to help.

Good luck.

You did the right thing Charly.

:D

Happy Holidays.

U R kidding me, they removed it. I guess from now on when I see an avatar that's offensive I'll have to report it. Rediculous, it was just a Hot Air Ballon... I've seen avatars in here of real women that are way worse, this was a Hot Air Ballon.

Can someone please tell me why it was removed? I also posted it in the general forum and it was removed. I thought this was a lite hearted forum.

This is one of the things that makes vaping really fun for me. I just recently put a twisted 26g coil in one of my tanks, put in this strawberry milk I've been vaping, and noticed right away that the flavor was wrong. It was just the milk while the strawberry was totally muted. Pulled that coil and put in a 26g contact micro coil wrapped on a magic blue screwdriver and it was right back to juicy strawberry flavor country.

Coil structure, resistance, power/temp, Air to vapor ratio, location and direction of the airflow, chimney/chamber dimensions, juice being used, and probably 100 other things I've never even thought of.
 
I been vaping 2+ yrs, been making my own juice since the beginning. Essentially they all work the same, a wick holds the juice and a coil vaporizes the juice. So why do some tanks, clears, etc. make vapored juice taste better than others? I can see the wick material, the battery's watts/volts, and coils ohms making a difference. But how can the shape of the tank make any differance.
There's hundreds of different sizes and shaped tanks, one person will say this one is best, another vapor will say this other tank is best. How can the shape of any tank make juice taste best. I say it can't, the difference must be in the wick/coil/ohm/watts/volts, is this right?


I agree 100%. There is NO FLAVOR in the same stainless objects. They are inert.

However, I do inhale differently on each different piece of equipment due to differences in air flow, so my RDA does taste a bit different than my Aspire tanks.

Note. I went to Sally's to buy some rayon for my RDA and they did not have it. Now the difference in rayon and cotton for a wick would taste differently. At least in the beginning.
