Cheap setup to test flavors?

[WPsharpshooter]

Im looking for the cheapest way to test out flavors. With that said here is what I got... Currently Im using a Volt, its awesome, I love it. However with me being new to all this I still want to try every flavor I see, I have not found that go to juice yet. Its not monetarily feasible to waste cartos on one juice only to throw it away, what Id like to do is have a PV to test the flavors to see if I like them, then I could fill my cartos with flavors I enjoy and use my volt as my primary... So could someone tell me how to accomplish this? Maybe even post pics or links to the pieces.. I find alot of people say "get this or that", then Ill look it up only to find 17 different kinds/brands... Any of this making any sense LOL... Thx for any direction given!!!

Would something like this work?

Drip-O-Mizers

Drip liq on hot aluminum foil to test for slag buildup.

Test flavors by direct dripping on a dry CE2-X w/ trimmed wick. Clean and repeat.

Id suggest just getting several of the cheapest attys you can find that will fit your PV, and then just drip.

I'd also suggest de-bridging your atty. A de-bridged atty won't hold onto the flavors nearly as much as a normal atty, because there really isn't anything to soak up the juice.

With my de-bridged atty, I can switch juice after 4-5 drags, and not taste the previous juice anymore, even with some of the stronger tasting juices I have like Pina Colada

A 901 atomizer will work for dripping on a volt battery, you just have to be careful not to overdrip if you get juice into the battery it can damage it since the volt batteries are not sealed. Also if you pick up a bottle of VG at the grocery store or drug store you can drip a few drops of it between flavors and blow it out to help remove the old flavoring.

Here's how to gut a carto

You can get the manual battery for your volt from smokeless image and then get the 901 atomizer and a drip tip for it. The manual batteries are sealed.

Pull the stuffing carefully out of a carto.
Do leave the tube up the center if it is a vertical coil carto (will have a wire near the top).
If it is a horizontal coil carto, you can pull the center tube out too...or leave it in...either way is fine.

Now you have a couple of options.
With auto batteries I'd suggest: Take the carto off the battery, drip a few drops in the hole at the connector end of the carto. Wait 20 seconds or so. Wipe the carto good then give it a light drag still off the battery. Screw it on the battery, and you should have several good hits.

Optionally, you can drip right into the top of the carto like an atty, if it is vertical coil...you want to drip on the center tube, if it is horizontal, it doesn't really matter, just drip and vape. Do be very careful with this 'tail pipe' method...if juice gets down in an auto battery it can ruin it.

I use a de-spiked/de-plated eGo tank atty for sample testing.

So much for an inexpensive little kit!

Or you could spend $6.00 more and get an ego and forget about the extra batteries and charge cases.

 

[CdnBison]

I would think a USB passthrough and an atty would work pretty well. Consistent power, so a dieing battery won't affect things.

 

[WPsharpshooter]

I do have manual batteries, so thats not to much of a concern, and swedish, how do the drip-o-mizers work? Just thread them on and fill up? Im not really hell bent on trying to save a buck on something up front.. I just have a hard time justifying the use of a new carto for possibly just a test... Still way to new to the game to understand half of what you guys are trying to tell me LOL... thanks for all the help so far

Although some people have trouble lately fitting DSE901 atty on KR808D-1, if you have a manual Volt I would see if a standard resistance DSE901 atomizer w/ DSE901 drip tip (LiteCigUSA.net) will fit on it. If so, there is your cheap testing system. It was my first testing system but on a different KR808D-1 manual battery (Vapor4Life). Ask around first if anyone has fit DSE901 on the Volt batteries (I did not read this whole thread)

Another good cheap testing (and vaping) system - go to Liberty-Flights.com, press the 20% off on front page, and buy a Riva 510 Lite bundle for under $30 (2 complete 750mah Rivas w/ attys and one charger). Add a 510 drip tip to your order. Alternately - check their Riva 901 kits - your Volt cartos may or may not work on Riva 901 w/o an adapter - depends on the airflow channels. And with a DSE901 drip tip you could use it for testing too.

Another good testing system - manual 510 mega xl battery, 510 USB charger, 510 standard resistance atty, 510 drip tip (slim 510 manuals have a totally sealed metal threaded end - safe from dripping leaks). Alternate atty combo I use use is standard resistance Joye 306 atty and Joye 306 drip tip (easy to blow out and wash).
Another good testing system - any 3.7v manual passthrough + atomizer + drip tip

I just ordered a Riva 510 Lite Bundle from Liberty Flights for this very purpose! Already have a drip tip! The same exact recommendation came to me from a few others so good to see this post!

 

[zerominusone]

EASY! AND FREE! I don't have much money and had that exact same question. Just pull out all the stuffing from inside of a used cartomizer but leave that little tube in there. ONLY PULL OUT THE STUFFING. I used a pair of cheap twezzers. After that, rinse it out real good and let it dry. Put a few drops (I used four to make sure the juice got all over the bottom) of the juice you want to try in the empty (except for the tube) carto, screw on your battery and vape. When you want to try another flavor, rinse it out with HOT water a few times and shake it dry and your ready to try another juice.

can you post a pic of the set-up or a link??? And zero--- if that works , thats simple enuff... im gonna investigate this option... thanks

Oh does the carto that I use to "hollow out" need to be a blank or will a prefilled be fine?

Thanks Blue... On the gutted kr808's can switching the flavor be done easily... I mean If I use this method and use strawberry lime... once it runs out could I drip another flavor? Or would I need to rinse it out/clean it???
