e-liquid flavour after chain vaping

So I'm still new here - and thought I'd throw this into the new members forum. A cursory search came up a few older threads but nothing covers this in the same way.

Anyway I present exhibit A.




I recently splurged some cash on a bunch of DIY bits and pieces so I can craft my own juice. While I was buying kit I bought another Vivi Nova tank from cloud9 vaping (whose service I highly recommend fwiw for UK people) which came with a clear drip tip attached, as opposed to my first ViVi tank which had a black drip tip.


I filled it with juice and didn't think anything else of it.


Later, that same evening... I noticed the inside of the dip tip is misted with what looks like "condensation" but probably isn't. Note the droplet size is larger the closer to the atomiser it gets.

I theorise that when juice is being turned into vapour the atomiser head is also spitting larger (but still very small) droplets of unvaped juice in all directions, and that some of those droplets are spraying the inside of the drip tip. The liquid inside the tip has the same flavour as is stated on the juice bottle (Cherry BTW, which is a clear juice the yellowy colour in the photo is a reflection from the desk my PV is standing on). Other coloured juices have the same colour when they collect inside this clear tip.

Every once in a while some juice gets into my mouth, which I find pleasant in very small amounts, and nasty in larger amounts.

Is it this "unvapourised spray" that's hitting my tongue when I vape that's improving the flavour I get from vaping, but only after I've 'broken in' my new head? Is some of the flavour from juice actually tasted on the tongue in liquid form? (perhaps some of the juce is actually condensing with water, or is in a more dilute form in the tiip, which eventually gets to your tongue in small doses?)

whatever it is, it tastes like raw e-liquid (yes I did a taste comparison "for science")

I find when the wicks are oversaturated and the heat is higher than noraml, you get the spitting to occur. For example, I once had a CE4 do this, and feel that the coil was shorted a bit, causing low resistance on a 3.7v battery. This created concentrated heat like flash boiling and spitting. It wasn't unpleasant, but worried me any way.
