OK here is my rant of the day...Am I the only one that hates atomizers?! Or maybe they hate me? No, I think we both hate each other! Seriously though, I watched vaping Greeks video about how easy it is to sample liquids in an atomizer and I thought to myself "OK Kaleb, just follow his instructions, it can't be that hard" now mind you this is after I stomped on the one I had months ago that didn't work for me. Well apparently I didn't take good enough notes because I bought a 306 atomizer, a 306 drip tip and a drip shield. Sounds great right? Wrong! I was supposed to buy an XL 306 drip tip because otherwise the drip shield doesn't secure onto it because the stupid atomizer is to small. I either over drip and the stupid thing just gurgles and gets liquid everywhere, or i dont drip enough and just get dry, burnt hits that taste like ..... Then there is the issue after I let it sit for days and pick it back up and think I'll give it one more try, I blow it out, drip a new juice into it and it still tastes like the old juice. :facepalm: All I want is an easy way to sample liquids!!!! :cry:

If you have and use a RBA atty that has a stainless steel wick in it.Here is what I do to sample juice.I make sure I have a fresh wick in my RBA with a clean dry tank,then I drip some juice on the wick put the top back on and taste.Then I take the top off use a lighter to burn off any remaining juice making sure I get the wick and coil glowing orange/reddish.Then I try another juice and repeat until I'm done testing.Might sound like a lot of work but really its not.I hope this helps you out.

I have a Igo-L set up with SS mesh and it's great for tasting. Sadly the only things I have to taste now are dekangs, which I've already tasted them all and they're pretty terrible, and a fresh new bottle of Haze... but there's no need to taste that because I already know it's excellent. I really want to try the rest of Jamie's Select. I've only tried Haze and Italian Ice Lemon and they both are my favs already out of everything that I've tried.

Thanks again Eric for that emergency bottle!

P.S. I'd love some vanilla ice cream eliquid. Or ring dings... That can be done right?

I'm with ya kiddo--I have a love/hate relationship with RBA's, but had terribleawfulIhateyouandwanttorunyouoverwithmycar experiences with a few atomizers. When I want to sample a new juice nowdays, I just put 10 drops or so in one of the little bitty mini cartos, works well enough for me, have you tried that? It's simple, no mess--or should I say no muss no fuss?

Ok, so I have a love hate relationship also, but I figured it out, for me it's to stay away from the full RBA's and stick with just little tiny atomizers.

This is what I do, I open a new one, drop 4-5 drops in, wait one minute and vape pure flavor. I STOP before I get that first burned hit which is about 6-8 vapes I suppose. I have figured it to be two puffs to each drop or so, that's not 100% accurate but it's close for me. Then to try another flavor I just run it under water (with the top end of the atomizer up against the faucet so it's "forced" in with a lot of pressure) and turn it upside down and let it dry overnight (or a few hours if I am in a hurry).

Now being a vendor means I have access to extra atomizers, so testing liquids is easy for me, I have 10 ready to go, I test 10 (or vape 10 whatever I am doing) and then clean, repeat.

I realize that not everyone can have 10 atomizers but if you are not testing flavors, just remember to load it all the time, the first time you get the burned hit you've screwed the pooch so to speak. Once it's burned (in my experience) it's now "dead" and will ever be the same unless you are really good at cleaning them

OK< back to shoveling....

I wanted to go buy the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet (128GB version) today but now I can't leave and go get it and it's sold out online... MONTHS I have waited (and saved) for this thing and now I can't have the one toy I was going to buy for myself... grrr. mother nature I am mad at you!!!

Honestly it wasn't going to be a toy, it was going to allow me to spend more time with my sons, I get so much email that it keeps me at my computer desk, I wanted the PRO to do remote desktop and all kinds of Windows 8 things wirelessly in the living room etcs.. bummed.

I could get a laptop but wanted the features of the the tablet :(

we are completely snowed in.. 33" and 4'+ drifts. I cannot get out and the road isn't plowed !! :(

Keep warm and safe, my friend. I got stuck on the road during the blizzard of '93 in Syracuse (NY), and it was not fun. Took me 8 hours to drive home from work that day, when the commute was usually 15 minutes. I will say that my little '83 Shelby Charger impressed me in finally getting through the snow that day. Who knew that front end ground effects could be used to plow snow? :D

Once you get the tablet, I'd love to hear how it's working out for you. I've been holding off on getting an android (Galaxy) tablet because I figured the Win8 tables would work better for my needs. From which store are you looking to get it?

not sure I am going to bother anymore, this "we only have enough for the first 10 customers" crap is getting old.
It REALLY bothered me to only have 50 packs of wicks for my customers last week but at least I did say they would be limited supply.

How do you hype something for 6 months and then just hours after it releases every location is out of stock, that is just ridiculous. It doesn't make me want it more, it makes me annoyed with the company. Now they won't be releasing any schedules for delivery, so they will trickle in, should I spend my days staking out websites and mall kiosks? hardly.

They lost a customer, and it might not just be for the tablet.

I am going to try my local staples tomorrow, they are snowed in and not open, if none available I will just get a new cheaper asus android tablet probably

I've looked at the Asus Android tablet as well (because I'm happy with my Asus laptop), and they're in the top 2 picks for me right now along with the Sumsung Galaxy. Also, looking at the Surface Pro prices right now, I don't know that they'll be that much better than the Android tablets to justify the cost.

Sorry to hear of your woes. Eric!

I have been wanting to get a tablet, just something inexpensive and more portable than my old laptop, that always needs to be plugged in.... I don't know what kind yet as I haven't done any research! Mostly, I just want to be able to use firefox and watch youtube videos!
