Tasting Methods

[jdiulus]

Ok so I think this dripping thing isn't working out real well for me. I'm in the middle of a juice crisis (I'll save that for a later thread) and I have a ton of different juices that should be arriving in the mail this week. The atty that I've been using has a lingering taste from some really bad juice that I used with it. I have cleaned this thing multiple times but I still taste that perfume/soap undertone that I tasted while dripping that nasty juice. I do have other brand new atty's but didn't want to ruin those with any nasty juice taste either. I dont wont to ruin my cartomizers either with anything that I dont like! So is there any other method that anyone out there would recommend? Bottom line, when i do find the right juice, i want to be able to enjoy it with all my nice new atty's and cartomizers!

If someone answers this I'll be grateful to them forever! That's exactly what I need, but I'm afraid there is no real solution.

I am thinking of ordering one of these atomizers: DRIPPING ATTYS AND SPECIAL ATTYS - YouTube . If I still can't drip right on these and if they still have flavor cross-over even if they are bridgeless, then I give up and just use cartos for tasting and that's that.

Get a smoktek.com carto and atomizer cleaning kit? That will help you force hot water and pure grain alcohol (to help get out oily juice residue from some oil based flavors like citrus and nuts). Some also use a small glass of water and a denture cleaning tab.

You know I have watched quite a few of GrimmGreen's videos (which I like) and he makes this look so easy. I wish I was enjoying vaping the way he does. It seems like every device/e-juice he uses is just perfect. Me on the other hand I am gagging on this perfume/soap laced garbage that I spent my hard earned money on! There is no way that I would spend $25 on one of those HH Atty's. Although maybe just a cheaper bridge less atty would do the trick. I looked at that smoketech atty cleaning kit and that could possibly work too.

I just want to be able to drip a juice and if I dont like it; move onto the next with still tasting the crap from before!

How many juices did you order? You might be better off just to use a carto instead of expensive attys. Then use the kit dormouse posted about and try to clean the carto out.

Clearomizers can be cleaned out. I don't know if you can clean all the juice out and change juice. I clean them out and use the same juice. But again, you're going to pay $10 or so. It might be worth it just to use a carto if you hate to drip. Or use the cartridge and atomizer. Then clean it as best you can.

Swedish, you rule! So there... those CE2s that I don't really like, but that's just me and it's because of the way they wick and when I chain vape I always end up with a dry hit... it just hit me = you can drip into their little ceramic cup. It works! Very well. And they are SO easy to clean and dry burn! I just take the tube off, stick it in a little medicine bottle I have filled with cheap vodka then rinse with tap water, dry burn a couple of times, presto! They're were just laying around anyway

I vape unflavored between liquid testings to help get rid of the previous flavor.....

I'll have to try the denture cleaning tab trick, dormouse, thanks! I personally haven't had a problem with this and always use atomizers to test my (DIY) juices, but I have no sense of smell, and have seldom used citrus flavors. The grain alcohol worked well for cleaning but that stuff's sippin' likker (aka pet rattlesnake) to me so I can't keep it around my cave. Other than periodic flushing with hot water, I just vape a few drops of unflavored straight PG through mine until I can't taste the previous flavor... usually works for me.

Right now I have about 15 different juices that I'm waiting for. I'm all in at this point. I refuse to go back to smoking!!!! When I bought my KGO, I ordered a bunch of Sampler's from highly recommended vendors. I literally gagged on every single one of them.

Trust me I've tried every trick, Different PV's, Different atty's, Different Cartomizers, and some steeping as well. Luckily I picked up some Dekang (Newport Flavor) along the way and I am able to tolerate it. So when this new round of juice comes in, I just want to be able to test and then move on to the next flavor without any residual taste left behind from the previous flavor. The other side to that is I dont want to taste one juice a night and then clean an atty, let it dry, and wait till the next day to try the next juice. I was hoping there was some type of big secret that I'm missing out on!

MAYBE I'LL GO HIT UP GRIMMGREEN or PBSUBARDO, THEY BOTH SEEM TO HAVE THIS S*HIT ON LOCK DOWN!
