How do taste test your new juices?

[Ladiekali]

So i ordered a gazillion flavors, they have steeped....
my tritons are charged and ready to go and now im like what wait i dont have enou tanks for all these.

what do you all do?
blank carts?
thought about blank carts and different drip tips.
the thought of mini tanks, but that could get pricey.

How hard is to change flavors with carts and mini tanks? What do u all do?

 

[wheezal]

I use blank carts in case a flavor is too intense, since they come in packs of 5 I can try out multiple different flavors with little risk. if I like it, then onto a minitank.

if I like that, i'll just drop it right into my eyes, then snort it, then freebase it. kringle's curse on a flaming spoon? delishus!

Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Omgoodnesss.
Thats what im talking about.

I had an old carto barely used threw some malibu in there, oh oh oh my.
I gotta get me more of this.


Yeahnim thinking get a bunch of cartos to start with That will atleast help me identify why i dont like right...?
And now im thinking some of the juices i havnt liked might be pretty good in a carto.

I recently got a really cheap set-up for tasting:

Atomizers
Adapter - 901/808D Battery to 510

Just pick out an atomizer (the bridgeless ones will also need a drip tip) and grab this adapter. The atomizer I got screws in a little funny, but it works fine. Screw them both on the battery, drip 2-3 drops in it, and taste away.

The plus side of getting the adapter (as a wise genius pointed out to me) is that if you're out and about underprepared, or run out of liquid at home, the Blu cartos will fit the adapter. You can usually find those all over the place. They're expensive, but still better than smoking.

I hope these links are allowed. I'm not really sure of the rules for vendor links in the Halo forum.

I used to use cartos for taste testing. But it seemed like a waste throwing out barely-used cartos due to bad juice. I now use G6 minitanks for taste testing. They clean up so much easier.

If I like what I taste, I finish the minitank, clean it out (double soak in hot water), then load up a Triton tank.

If I don't like what I taste, I dump the minitank, clean the minitank out and let the juice steep for a month before trying again.

We discussed this recently, and all came to the same conclusion; use a mini tank.

Cleaning between flavor change is optional; sometimes you find great combos (sometimes it'll be worse than you can imagine).

This exactly for me. Minitanks aren't as efficient as dripping, but they're cheap and easy.

Plus, and as Seapup points out, the capacity of the minitank gives you a clearly dilineated and fairly large window of time in which to decide whether you really like the new flavor. I can't tell you how many times I've enjoyed the first few puffs and then found myself struggling to finish the minitank. Truth be told, the vast majority of my tasting experiments end with me putting off the final decision. Nothing else has come close to Turkish yet, for me.

Yeah im diggin the mini tank idea.
I like the mini tanks best any way even over triton tanks

 

[jhev]

Get a cheap rda there is a lil learning curve but with all the info in this forum its really easy to pick up quick

I find cleaning the mini tanks an absolute ......
They're so small, it's hard to get a good clean and then I can't get the water out.
I've got some cleaned mini tanks that have been air drying for days, and there's still moisture in there
Even a hair dryer struggles to get them dry.

Yeah, that's one of the benefits of alcohol; it evaporates much faster than water. So if you soak your minitanks in (for example) vodka, shake 'em out and set 'em out on a paper towel to dry, you can refill them within an hour or so.

Or at least that's how I handle it. Sometimes I don't even wait that long.

I popped the wick part off of an ego atty and drip right on the coil.

 

[Halofan2013]

Like others I start with g6 carts and if I like it i go to the mini tank and if it is still good it goes to a triton tanks

Hahaha...this just made my morning, actually laughed out loud.....Happy Friday!

Canned air or hair dryer on low does the trick.

I'm thinking this sounds like a good use for my 510 t atty's and baby tanks.

 

[Ladiekali]

bought two of those atty things, and i can't seem to get them to work right. man this bums me out oh well.

 

[Paul.K]

For this exact reason I tried carto, atomizer and both were just ok. I just went to my local B&M and bought a cheap RDA this did the trick. If I get a really nasty one I just rinse it out and dry. I'm taste testing again in 15 mins.
