Looking for an easier way to try new flavors...

[KatieT]

Hello everyone!

My husband and I have been vaping for about a week now and love it. So glad to be done with cigarettes. I actually have a half carton in the house that I haven't been tempted with because of our great experiences so far!

With that being said, we're starting to get a little frustrated with trying new flavors. Of course when you're new at it you want to try every flavor you can get your hands on (and from what I've seen on this forum, that never really goes away ). Our issue is that after we try a flavor, no matter how many times we clean out the clearomizer, wick, base, everything... We still get a horrible taste of a flavor we didn't like. I tried a Jack and Coke flavor the other day, at first it was really good, then I started getting this awful aftertaste of a too-sweet Jack Daniels flavor. I cleaned everything out, per the many many videos on YouTube I've watched, and I can still taste the previous flavor while I'm puffing on a different one. I even used a brand new wick. It seems the smell has attached itself to the pyrex tank or something. Yuck! I need this terrible Jack and Coke to go away! I'm about to resort to buying a new clearomizer even though they're $20/piece! Needless to say, I'm hesitant to try new flavors because I'm worried I'll get a bad flavor in the only good clearomizer I have left!

I was thinking, the vape shop we went to had a bunch of little cartomizers (I think) with their flavors for us to try. We just screwed one onto our own Evod battery and used a mouth cover thing to try the flavor. What are these called and where could I find them? I would gladly pay money to try juices this way and then throw the whole cartomizer away if I didn't like the flavor.

How does everyone else try flavors? Did you ever get one that you couldn't stand and how did you get rid of the taste?

FYI: I use a ProTank Mini with an Evod 650 Mah battery. Hubby uses a ProTank 2 and a Vision Spinner.

Thanks in advance!!!

get some 510 attys and you can just drip on them and taste....then clean those out and your good.....just soak those in vodka or alcohol and its almost as new. Thats how i taste mine.....those little attys are cheap too......

I have multiple coils for my kanger and vivi nova tanks. Normally rotate the coils when I change juice flavor and soak the used coils in alcohol and then water, leave out to air dry.

Another way is to dry burn them after rinsing.

Pure grain alcohol or something like vodka. I don't drink so I put mine in very hot water. I heat it to an almost boil throw them in swish it around and let them air dry for a couple of days.

I just rinsed my protank out with REALLY hot water blew it all out and then a little vodka and shook the crap out of it and drained and blew all that out. Put the base back on the battery and dry fired it a few times added new flavor and go. The first few hits were yuck but settled in after a few minutes. I haven't used anything really smelly though.

I agree with Krazirob on the atomizers. I use just a simple 510 atty like this with a drip tip. This one is bridged, but it can be un-bridged. I rinse it out under the tap between flavors and do a very mild dry burn just to get most of the water and any small leftover flavor out, then move on to the next juice. Takes maybe 2 minutes.

I use Everclear (pure grain alcohol from the liquor store) to clean with. I have a little jar just for that, put the parts in, shake it a little and let soak for 15 minutes or so. Usually there's no problem with the last flavor being there.

Get a couple 510 atomizers and drip tips. I found one I like, Kidney Puncher has a good one for only $5.95 (long barrel dripping atomizer). I actually just did a review on it and like it.

I also use everclear or vodka.

Don't trash the cartomizers. I have a few old ones that I have removed the filler (leave the center tube. Just a couple of drops gives you 10 puffs or so for sampling. Without the filler, they are easy to flush out. I had a particular nasty juice once that I couldn't get the taste out of even one of my filler-less cartos. I flushed it with cola, then with hot water...that did the trick. I figured if it clean battery acid, why not try it.

Grimwald, I have to try the Coke idea. Good point!!

Yes dripping with a 510 atomizer and a drip tip! Amazing! I have been sampling juices all day! It's my new favorite thing

As stated above by a couple of others, either a 510 dripping atomizer or a 306 dripping atomizer are best. Just a couple drops of liquid you get several vapes, blow out or rinse out, go to the next flavor. Two of the oldest style vaping attachments, still the best taste tester and best flavor and vapor producers.

Unfortunately there aren't many in my area. I live in Waldorf, MD and the closest/best shops are in Baltimore (1hr. away). We went up last week to check out a couple shops and they're awesome! Just a little far. Also I'm definitely going to have to separate my daily coils from my "test" coils.

Thanks everyone for all the quick responses!!!!

I think I will invest in some of those 510's for sure! Seems like an easy and painless way to do it. And I will absolutely use all of your suggestions and try hot water, alcohol, and the coke! Anything to get rid of that horrible taste!
