Need suggestions / Advice....juice tasting methods?

[wallacecarey]

I just got in to DIY juice a few months ago and now find myself needing to test/taste multiple juices I have made in one setting. Need something that will do this with min flavor holdover, thinking a dripper and swap out the wick each time or is there other options that would make sampling my juice experiments easier?

If you have the tools, equipment and knowledge then a rba is perfect for what you want. If not, then just grab a disposable atty and clean it out between uses.

As said above there are two options. 510 atomizer such as the HH .357 or a rebuildable dripper. Which is better is personal preference but I would pick a cheaper rda like the igo-l and silica wick so you can dry burn the wick between flavors.

Remember, juice taste is a product of the juice itself, the coil placement, the airflow and the wicking, so you should use what ever you normally use to vape, with the same setup you normally use, unless testing a new config

Personally I prefer doing it the way you described in your post. I use an RDA that I've cleaned and put in a new piece of cotton. It's a little tedious but the best way to be sure you don't have holdover flavor from your last test. And really, how long does it take to wipe out the RDA and change the cotton?

As for using an atomizer, you can't easily clean them out and be sure you've gotten rid of holdover flavor so I personally like that method.

Tip for clearing old flavor from 510 type attys. Drip in three or four drops of hydrogen peroxide. Blow from the 510 connection end out the drip tip end to clear and repeat. Pulse the atty to dry it out and go back to vaping. Don't worry getting a smidge of the hydrogen peroxide on your lips when you blow it out. It makes a great mouth wash so it won't hurt you. It turns to h2o (water) under heat, so don't worry if you got the atty 100 percent dry before using it.

Personally I'm in agreement with BobC, in as much as I'm finding my dripping atty doesn't work that well to fine tune my mixes. Anymore I just clean up one of my funalikes, drip my new mix and try it. I have to unscrew the tank, and then the chimney to clean it, but it's still not all that bad really.

510 or 306 atomizer, over the counter ones work great for tasting. HH357, ikenvape, joyetech, etc. depends on how expensive you want to go, I like to stay in the $5-$8 range.

XC-116 in a decent dripper. You can torch clean or dry burn between juice iterations. It is superbly durable, quite neutral in flavor and in my opinion perfect for tastering.

Which rda was that? I only own RBAs, but I think this is a neat idea.

it is just an inexpensive dripper, I think its the igo w. have you done micro coils at all? if not its very simple.

It's an igo-w. The igo series is great if you just need an inexpensive dripper to test flavors. Igo-s for ego style batteries, igo-l for single coil and igo-w for dual coil 22 mm mods. The higher end drippers add juice channels, adjustable airflow, more juice capacity etc. but for juice testing you can't go wrong with an igo.

My first RDA was an igo-L. I have a decent collection of higher end RDAs, all of which are set up with various dual coil configurations. But I still use the ol' single micro coiled igo-L for sampling my DIY stuff. We have a fairly active local vape group where I live, and whenever I go to a meet up, I take the igo-L, with a wad of cotton in a little baggie in my pocket, for juice tasting.

Same for me. I have omega, igo-w4, trident v2, atomic etc. but the ole' faithful igo-l gets pulled out when someone says "try this."

Have to remember to drill all igo models holes out though. I still can't figure out who wants them with those teeny tiny holes.
