Princess tastebuds

[AngeNZ]

Hey all,
What do you guys use to try out new flavours?

I topped up my 4ml tank with a different mint choc ice cream that was previously my fave, and all I could taste was mushy green peas

Emptied tank, cleaned it and filled up with the van ice cream flavour I had been using - still could taste peas. Vaped it thru, got a head rush from nicotine, still had aftertaste so I changed the coil. All good after that!

My taste buds have obviously turned into princesses, and I'm now a bit leary about trying flavours. Once I start diying however I need to taste flavours.

Is there an easier way to try a flavour out? Do I set aside a small tank maybe for this - and is there a way to get the flavour out of the coil?

I use $5.52 Hadaly Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping for testing it is simple to build on and you can just change out the cotton and give it a quick dry burn and you are good to go

maybe this will help with cleaning out your coil heads

I just got one of these, and I agree. It’s only my second RDA, and it was a little more difficult to get the coil in than my other one, Vandy vape Pulse. Both serve the purpose for me, but the hadalay is the less expensive of the two and it’s single coil.

Yeah, that is one member of my Clone Army, and yes building it the first few times is difficult but when you learn how to do it it is a breeze. I mostly use dual coils but the hadalay was great to me for testing since it is single coil the pulse was on my list but I think I am sticking to my Dead Rabbits Apocs and Drop

An RDA that you can easily change the wick on.

I usually just get flavours that can blend into each other, I cant taste much tho as i spent too many years smoking.

My main atty is an RDTA.... Avocado22. .. when I want to do taste testing I often just drip some sample juice right on the coil.. sometimes I will empty the tank an use a fresh wick sometime not....

I use flavours that blend well with each other - I always start with vanilla when first priming coils so that as your wicks dry out the flavour is slightly vanilla and that blends well with anything really

Or, an RDA ricked with rayon. You can rinse the rayon with DW between flavors (not too vigorously) and the wick holds up fine (remove it from the mod first, obviously) but I have found this to be the fastest way to remove flavor and rayon can really handle being dunked. Etc. Best of luck. When lazy, I will layer flavors I'm tasting, but obviously it's not the best method, as you are sort of "stacking" flavors with traces left behind and etc.

Just one more thing rayon does well. LOL.

I've been using my drilled out iGo-L forever. I tried the Freakshow Mini, but had to give it up because it was too airy.

@Necrospecter How's the Hadaly?

I like it a lot it is mostly used for testing but I also use it for stealth (with the airflow closed) since it is so small (22mm) and my mod is on the larger size. The airflow is great as long as you don't do what I did on the first build and use too much cotton. I currently have a 3mm 7 wrap tidal coil from AVS in it. I would not go bigger than 3 and for a single coil, it makes some nice clouds with the airflow fully open. I almost got a freakshow but I really like larger RDAs more into 24mm+ so I would recommend the Hadaly or at the very least the clone I linked since it is what I have.

Oh no, it's the attack of the rayon people run!!!!! I am going to have to break down and try rayon soon

 

[stols001]

At one point I considered joining the rainbow people. So glad I didn't.

LOL happy to be a member of the rayon people. LOL. Rayon gets such a bad name, but man it vapes like a dream.

I clean my drop ins. Rinse with warm water is all you need if it's a light flavor. If a stronger flavor drop in a shot glass of vodka over night.

Back in the day many of us used 510 drip atomizers to sample flavors. Basically its a cartomizer without cotton wick, just a coil. You'll need a drip tip (preferably a wide bore one so you can drip without removing the drip tip) to avoid burning your lips.

510 drip atomizer

drip tips

You simply put a 3 - 4 drops of e-liquid onto the coil and vape it. You can dry burn the coil to get rid of any e-liquid you don't want to vape.

You "clean" it the same way. A few 2 - 3 second dry burns in a row. Generally last about 3 - 4 months of use.



This would be an inexpensive method of testing flavors if you aren't comfortable building your own coils for an RDA.

 

[AngeNZ]

Thanks
Never thought of using rdas for that, makes sense when ya think about it tho. Baditude - I like how an old idea is still a good idea, cheers

 

[AngeNZ]

Found these on a nz site. Are they the same sorta thing as the joyetech @Baditude

 

[Janusz]

I think regular RDA is better idea. Building coil is not difficult with coil jig and you can use for testing the same kind of wicking material you use in regular tank. I have Wasp Nano RDTA ... it is very easy to coil and wick...

but if you prefer RDA without tank Wasp Nano RDA is basically the same (without tiny bottom tank) and cost $6 less...

And as a bonus you get flavored vodka shots

I don't taste the vodka after it drys, if I could i would be all over using a lemon or lime juice shots.

I'm not Baditude, but those aren't the same sorta thing as the JoyeTech 510 atomizers. You drip into both of them, and they're good for taste testing eliquids, but that's about where the similarity ends.

The ones you linked to are an RDA, and you change out the coil and wick when you need to. The JoyeTech 510 atomizers don't have a regular, replaceable coil and wick in them like an RDA and RTA. When they don't work well any more, they're just disposable at that point.
