Hubby n' me received our last shipment of 'supplies' today, and after lurking/learning for months (and vaping for a month) we're having our first "diy party" tonight! ('Not to worry, thanks to all your great advice, we're not going crazy and mixing up multiple flavors - we're sticking with 'singles' - they'll be as close to 100% VG as possible, with the addition of water/alc).
But I need to order some kind of atty, clearo/carto gizmo for tasting just a few drops of each of these flavors 'as they steep' (we're going to be keeping copious notes
). We've got eGo-c Twists (1000 mAH) and lil' kr808ds. We normally vape with the Twist & Vivi mini's (2.8). but we've also got some cheap clearos & cartos that we've used (not liking them much since we got the Vivi's - and there's a couple of bottom coil Kanger eVods on the way - which we're hoping will out-vape the Vivi's).
But none of those seem suitable for testing just a few drops and then switching flavors (dozens of times). So after pulling out the fiber in a couple of cartos (as many have suggested) and having them leak all over the place with just 2-3 drops, I thought we'd try atty's with drip tips, and got these yesterday (along with a couple of cheap drip tips):
510 Atomizer - 3.2 ohm
ARGHHHH - even after soaking them in 150 proof and dry-burning (several times - once or twice it got so hot it shut-down my lil' variable pass-through), they won't stop giving off a seriously intense 'burn smell' (I can still see that lil' wisp of smoke that usually goes away fairly quickly when we've burned the crud off the coils in the clearos & Vivi)...but it won't go away! (perhaps I'm doing something wrong, and there's a different way to 'break them in' or 'burn off' the whatever it is that keeps burning). I've tried them from 3.2-4.8.
SO, we're stuck here and hoping to get some tips from y'all that do alot of testing (so we can get 'em ordered tonight and have 'em ready for our 3-4 day 'testing party' :::insert crazy newbie enthusiasm here:::
We're not into 'building anything' (yet), and we'd like to keep the cost down to around $15 each (if possible).
Of course, any/all 'tips n' tricks' appreciated & welcomed here. I'll be back at the 'puter in a couple of hours - gotta go get everything set up & organized!
Btw, Hoosier if you're reading this...THANK YOU HUGE for all your great info (and for "entropy")

510 Atomizer - 3.2 ohm
Use for dripping. Great Flavor and vapor. Can use a standard 510 drip tip, has a nice consistent vape at 3.7 and 5 volts
wide bridge and more metal mesh
