Taste/Tongue testing E-Juice?

[Justin L]

I'll taste test juice at a shop where samples are not available.

HAHA how do you go about that, just pop the seal, taste test it then decide nope not for me. And put it back on the shelf?

Shops used to let you vape samples until they became afraid of the FDA. Now, if I want to test the flavor, I ask to see if they have an opened bottle to smell and drip on the back of my hand.

Most times, they do. Of course, you'll rarely find juice out from behind the counter.

Ahh ok, that makes much more sense lol. So you’re saying in most states they don’t allow you to sample juices? There is like 3 vape stores here that allow us to, we just pay .50 cents for the drip tip and good to go, can go around the counters applying the atomizers. They even supply you with a mod!

A lot of shops down here have become indifferent and lazy. Seems like a hassle for them to bone up on what's allowable.

I've used the tongue method in tasting fairly often. It's not going to give the greatest sense of the juice in its entirety, but it can give you an idea of how it's progressing, although a "quick and dirty" method indeed, you kind of have to mentally "translate" the taste in comparison to how it may taste vaped. I mainly use it as a method to make sure nothing is horribly "off" with my flavors as I steep them.

I have never, ever tried a drop of flavoring straight, on my tongue. I assume the taste is "similar" to when my mom finally broke down and let me taste a "teaspoon" of vanilla after I nagged her enough.... A life lesson that will stick with me forever.....

And yes, I did it to my own kid, obviously. Sometimes you just have to let these "life lessons" occur. LOL.
