sampling flavors

[HyperRealist]

What are the best ways? What is a good atty to drip?

 

[Off Topic]

Get lots of very small bottles from multiple vendors. You will be surprised at what you like and don't like.

If you completely stop smoking the death sticks, your taste buds will come back to life, and your sense of taste will change, so don't throw away that bottle that didn't strike your fancy at first.

The drippers on this forum rave about the HH.357 atty. When you are sampling new flavors a straight drip atty is best, you can change flavors quickly.

Is there something simple that will fit on an eGo battery at DiscountVapors that will work?

Hi - yes. For starting off I'd suggest this:
510 Bridgeless Atomizer - 2.0 ohm
Maybe even get two.

Just changed the link - I think 2.0 ohms might be better.

 

[HyperRealist]

should I get a drip tip too?

I haven't tried any yet. I ordered the everything sample pack from Alice in Vapeland

We forgot about drip tips. Yes - if you get 510 drip tips you can use them with the atomizer, and with other 510 stuff:
510 Drip Tips

Scroll down a bit on that page for the ones that say 510. Then take your pick.

And I think, with all those flavors, at least two atomizers.

I got one of these yesterday. Loving it so far on my kgo and ego passthrough clone. Vape - SmartVapes 510 1.8ohm E cig Dripping Atomizer

Supposed to be made for dripping specifically. sealed bottom, pretty easy to clean. So far so good for me. YMMV though. Also get a good drip tip. They recommend a drip shield, i didnt get one and havent needed it yet. Just dont flood it. I use some everclear to flush out a flavor if it lingers.

I would love it if every vendor had a "this is me" kit.
A few small samples, of what they consider their best work too be.

I realize it is subjective, but it would be a great start when choosing a vendor.

 

[HyperRealist]

should I clean it every time before trying a new flavor or just vape a flavor until it is gone then try another?

 

[kiwivap]

People vary on this. If the flavors are similar I don't bother.
This post gives some good tips:

You can rinse them out and leave them to dry.

 

[kiwivap]

With Atomizers you don't put much in - about 2- 3 drops is enough.

If you want to use something besides dripping on an atty, you could use ce3's, which I use.

These are essentially clear-tubed clearomizer/cartomizer hybrids that hold approximately 1ml of liquid, the perfect capacity to test flavors. Since there is no polyfill like a cartomizer has that retains the previous juice's flavor, you can empty-rinse-refill with consecutive flavors with only one device. So, these are a re-usable, very cost efficient way to test flavors.

CE3 - 5 Pack

These at Discount Vapors are the version that still uses the needle and syringe to fill/empty these (be sure to read the directions on the product discription). There are other versions called the Phoenix or Fluxomizer or Nano that can be purchased from Got Vapes.

So I guess I got to buy some pure grain alcohol for cleaning? I take it rubbing alcohol is a no-no

Halo sells a tobacco sampler pack that is a good deal if you are into tobacco flavors. I like almost all the juices in it. It's six 6oz bottles in a nice round tin with a foam insert and holes for each bottle cut into the foam. The tin makes a good storage container for all sorts of vaping supplies afterwards. $24.99 for 36ml of assorted juices. My favorite in the sampler pack is Torque56.

Hot water does a great job. Just run the atomizer under the hot water in your sink until it's clean and dry it by blowing it out and letting it stand on a paper towel. The bridge and internal components will shine like new. I dry burn mine carefully to burn off the crusted juices on the coil after cleaning, but you can pop a coil if you aren't careful. Do it in a darkened room and never let it get more than dull red during the dry burn. Pulse it to maintain the burn at a low level for a few seconds. You will see a wisp of smoke as the crusted juice turns to ash.

You can just rinse it out. if you want to get pure grain alcohol you can, but you can just rinse them out with hot water. Dry burning needs to be done carefully - so you may prefer to get some PGA to start with. Dry burning is not hard - you press the power button on the pv for 5 seconds (or less), the let it rest for a few seconds, then repeat. When the whole coil glows red you stop. You don't do it until its bright orange. Does that make sense?

Here's a short video on dry burning:


He explains it well I think.

 

[HyperRealist]

Ya that makes sense. I think I will be able to handle dry burning

Cool. I'd say get more than one atomizer.
