How do you test-taste new liquids?

Yeah...I feel stupid.

Why don't we all bake our juices or microwave it then?

One of my all time favorite internet pictures right there!!!

Microwaving might be a bit on the hot side for juice: too high a temperature will degrade certain flavor compounds, especially more delicate ketones like in fruit which are the ones that can really make or break a juice.

There are, however, people on ECF that put juice into a heated ultrasonic bath (the kind sold for cleaning jewelry or tools). Put the bottle in a bag then pop the bag in the bath. Warmth and all the shaking about for an hour gives a good "quick steep".

EDIT TO ADD:
Something you COULD try (experiments!) is steeping some of your bottles on a heating pad. You might need to shake it several times a day to distribute everything, but I bet it would make a difference.

BUT....... Maybe thats just me.

Yeah.

I think it's you.

I love using the IGO-L. With a simple silica wick and 1.7ohm coil it samples great. A quick flush with unflavored mix and on to the next. If I really like a flavor I can hit it with 12-15 drops and vape for a while.

Simple - I rinse out my V3 rebuildable atty with warm water, dry burn it dry and soak the wick in it. Let it sit for a few, and hook it up to my DIY passthrough and vape on low setting (calibrated to 3.75V) discarding the first mouthful (can be a bit harsh). Find I get the best flavour after a few pulls.

Any way you do it, clean your gear so that the previous flavour(s) do not interfere.
