Do you need a separate cartomizer for each different flavor juice you try?

[kblush]

Hi! I've never vaped before so I'm splurging this Christmas to buy myself everything I need to start. This may seem extreme but I'm buying 12 6 or 10ml bottles of tobacco or menthol flavored juice to try because I want to find out as quickly as possible which flavors I like best so I can just stick with them each month. I wouldn't be mixing fruity juices and the tobacco flavors, but I am wondering if I need to use a separate cartomizer to try each tobacco flavor I am buying. (I would use a separate carto to keep the menthols away from the plain tobaccos.) Thank you for your time and hopefully your advice! Happy holidays!
P.S. I will hopefully be using a Reo Grand mod if i can get one!

If you have an atomizer, you can drip into the atomizer to test the juices before you fill a cartomizer. Yes you need a separate one for each, or they will all taste the same. The old flavor stays in.

One for each flavor would be the best. If you mix them, the remaining flavor will be mixed with the new flavor and you wouldn't be getting the 'true' flavor. Welcome and good luck!

Thank you both so much for your advice and welcome!

Get a few atomizers to test juices with. Out of the ones you like, only use a carto per favorite flavor.

Yeah def get a few attys to test juices. If you fill a carto only to find out you don't like the juice then you wasted a carto. I never fill a carto unless I know I like the juice. Get a few atty and a drip tip to test the juices. Then when you know you like a juice, fill a carto.
I only use one juIce per carto and just keep refilling it with the same juice. Some people clean them so they can use a different juice, but I find some cartos do not work as well after they've been cleaned

Several of you suggest that I try the juices using an atomizer. That would certainly save me a ton of money if I only needed one atty instead of many cartos! The thing is that I shy away from atomizers because even after watching videos on how to use them, it looks harder to use than a carto and I don't understand how to use them. Maybe I have a mental block or something but I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me in an easy to understand and simple way what I would need to test 12 juices and how to use them. Thank you!

Hi and welcome!

The idea is that you drip a few drops into the atomizer. You vape it and draw your conclusions. Then, as one flavor starts to fade, you can drip a new flavor and try that. This is not possible with the cartos because they soak the liquid.

Simple stuff! You are on the right track!

All the best!!

I end up doing just that, a cart for each flavor, but I change my flaves so frequently. I drip, I use little carts for trying, tanks for ones I love, wash everything, save everything.

Welcome and good luck!!! Hope you get your Reo!!

throatkick - Thank you for explaining that to me!

arthistorygirl - Thank you for your advice!!

LisaC - Thank you so much for the welcome! i hope I can get the Reo too!

*Now that I know how to use an atomizer, I can't figure out how an atomizer works with a bottom feeder mod. Can someone please explain how that works and how to use one? Thank you!!

Yeah atomizer and drip tip on a sealed manual battery is the way to test juices.

And for anyone with a KR808D-1 model (V4L, Volt, Bloog, G6, etc) - those can use a standard resistance (not LR) DSE901 atomizer and drip tip - see LiteCigUSA.net

dormouse - Thank you! i appreciate it!!!

I usually test juice with a clearomizer because I'm not a huge fan of dripping.

A bottom feeder has a bottle and a piece of tubing that feeds the atomizer, usually in some type of box mod ( batteries, bottle, connector for atomizer all inclusive in the box). You squeeze the bottle and it feeds the atomizer. You vape a bit and squeeze again. Some folks swear by them but I could never get the hang of it, flooded it (squeezed too much), or got the burnt taste (didn't squeeze enough).

Plus that means you have an excuse to order a really pretty drip tip

 

[kblush]

swedishfish - What is a clearomizer? i could look it up but i want to know the difference between that and a cartomizer.

alanselo - Thank you so much for explaining! I don't think I'm going to be much of an atomizer person either!

Taintedhalo - So funny! Any excuse is a good one to buy cool stuff! Can you use one on a cartomizer too? I love drip tips! I want a stainless steel one that just looks something like a bolt!

You would use the atomizer for testing on the Reo or any bottom feeder the same way you would normally drip on an atomizer, just don't squeeze the bottle and it won't mix flavors.

 

[Chevello]

I use a carto for each flavor, and I mark the bottles and cartos with a dot of one or more of my daughter's vast collection of nail polishes. Color codes so I don't mix them up. If you change flavors in a carto, it will take two or three refills with the new flavor to get the old flavor out unless it is a minty flavor, in which case you may never get it out I have three or four that all taste like minty gum from before I started color coding.

Gosh, I'm the Philistine of the bunch. I never use a different carto when changing flavors, or a different tank, or a different bottle on the Reo.......LOL.......I do use almost exclusively light fruit flavors tho...........LOL
