How do YOU test out new flavors? - Atty? Bridgeless? Carto? CE2? Freebase?

[monarch79]

I am a pretty dedicated carto-tank and CE2 user, but I'm at a loss when testing out new flavors.

I don't keep atties around, I stopped using those when I stopped using carts. But lately I've been trying to branch out and order some new flavors, and I don't want to waste a carto on a flavor I'm going to hate...

MY ACTUAL QUESTION: How do YOU test out new flavors?

Some have told me that bridgeless atties are the best bet, because they are easier to clean. Somebody even told me that he uses a CE2 with no plugs, direct drips on to the coil, and then cuts off that piece of the wick to test out the next flavor...



What's your technique?

I usually use older atties. but sometimes it sucks cuz you dont get the full flavour + vapor production of the juice.

Right now Im sitting on like 4 ego T tank atties, so I might just drip into those and use that..

I use a broken in atty (one that I know & trust), just for testing new flavors. After test/taste vape a diluted unflavored VG then taste/test again with different flavor. When done testing/tasting - rinse out, let air dry; then put it back in its home.

Not foolproof by any means but gives me some sort of baseline prior to filling a carto.

If I'm tasting a bunch of different new flavors, I'll have a bunch of squeaky-clean old attys screwed into a fistful of batteries, plus an ultrasonic cleaner with isopropyl alcohol. When I'm done tasting and making notes, I unscrew the attys and chuck them in the ultrasonic cleaner. After several cycles, I pull the attys, blow them out from the battery end, and put them on a paper towel to dry for about a week. Once they're thoroughly dry, they go back in the "used attys" drawer.

I use bridgeless 510 atties for both dripping and testing new flavors before they head into any carto

I wash a batch of cartomizers every so often and use those to try new flavors. If I hate it no biggie, I just toss it.
