If any readers of this forum are golf junkies, they will know what I am talking about. Please bear with me, a little background info for the non-golfers.

A Stimpmeter is basically an inclined plane of a yard long; one end of this plane is left on the putting green and the other is raised until a 20 degree angle is formed between the Stimpmeter and the ground. By letting a golf ball roll down the 20 degree incline and measuring how far it rolls, the putting green can be measured for the "speed" and "difficulty".

Back to vaping...
We need a Stimpmeter for vaping. Perhaps measuring in millimeters how far a drop of e-juice goes down a plane of glass at a 30 degree angle at a specific temp. This could be easily replicated wherever e-juices are made. The benefit of this is that the "juice"-meter would provide an objective comparison between the viscosities of any sets of e-juices. If you are a first time buyer with a new manufacturer, you would have the comparisons verses the juices you are familiar with. To flavor-wick or not-to-flavor-wick, that is the question.

Just a random thought going rattling around in the noggin.
 
This is definitely a very good point. Seeing that the biggest heartache any vaper has especially concerning those using genesis or any other type of rba is wicking. There are many of us who start off with thin juice to start with in fear of the horrid dry hit. However the problem I have been having with my venture into genesis atties is over wicking, I use a 50/50 blend however with the style of wicks genesis atomizers use it acts as a heating rod for the juice which changes the juices viscosity quite a bit. I wind up over wicking and having a supersaturated coil that can no longer get up to operating temp. There may be some non formal research into vegetable glycerin on its change in viscosity at different temperatures. As far as I know there aren't any of these studies on propylene glycol, however there might be some info that could be gathered from use in fog machines.
