Tell me your method to taste a lot of different batches!

[SrK]

Hey guys! I would like to know your method to taste all your mixes and batches.
I find a bit annoying when I have a lot of batches made and I want to try them. Sometimes I have more than 40 batches in my wardrobe and I dont find the time and the best way to test all of them propperly and easily.
I usually use a few drippers but it is annoying to have to clean and change de cotton every time I want to taste a new mix, and sometimes when I clean the dripper with paper and I change the cotton there are remnants of the previous flavor.
I love to do a experiments with DIY but I find this part a bit unconfortable!
So, I would like to know your methods in order to have a new ideas.
Thanks guysss!

I mix them all together into one large container -- that way I can taste them all at once

For me, the HH 357 atomizer is the most convenient.

With menthols,mint,cinnamons,some tobaccos/fruits (prob. missed a few others I can't think of off the top of my head) and any strong flavor,I find it's best to clean and switch out the wick if I want to try a new juice in my RDA. If I have a mild or sweet flavor, I can place certain flavors over the top of it providing my Magma RDA well is dry or close to (moist wick ok).I can pretty much taste most new flavors(stronger the better) over most bakeries, candies,creams etc., at least well enough, after a few hits, to continue vaping the new juice.
If the new juice starts to really seem to taste good, I might clean the RDA well and switch out the RDA wick--this is rare.
If I'm testing with a standard non deep well RDA, this type of RDA even works better than a Magma deep well because I don't have to vape down to a dry well and I only need a few drops, each go around, in testing a new batch. I tend to place one new juice over an existing "old" juice setup at a time. I have done three go arounds in the past, but only with each new juice known to be stronger than the last.
With low percent flavor mixes (I would say below 10-12% total flavor), I tend to clean and change the wick.
Note, I do prime the new testing juice over the old juice wick when starting out.
I find drippers the way to go.

Been using standard bridgeless 510's since I started mixing. Rinse, blow out, and dry fire between flavors. IMO- it's the cheapest and easiest way to do it. For sampling purposes you can get a lot of mileage out of one and they're like $5 each.

I'm looking to get some... Do you have any specific ones you recommend? I see 5-packs around, but would rather spend $5 for a great atomizer, rather than get 5 hit-or-miss ones for $13.

Try a dripper with a big coil and no wick, that is how I do it, the coil will hold 1 or maybe 2 small vapes and just pulse between flavors... There isn't anything easier or better than that. Even if your coil runs dry in the middle of a vape you won't get a dry hit, it will just stop making vapor

I have 3 of these that I bought over 2 years ago. One of them has never been used.

I just put 3-4 drops in and get a taste. It's that simple. They won't perform like a good tank/dripper of course but for tasting purposes they are simple and do the job perfectly. You can sample tons of different flavors without much carryover by just rinsing with hot water and a few pulses.

I use an RDA with silica wicking for my bulk testing or when I'm adjusting and rinse, blot dry or dry burn between each flavor. When I narrow things down to a reasonable quantity or am close in my formulation I use a second dripper with cotton for the ones I want to sample for a while. My final testing gets done in my everyday RBA. Sometimes it takes a little inconvienience and annoyance to get things done.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Ditto going back to silica for tasting.

It still has a use lol.

I haven't tried it myself yet(just got some, though), but it's been stated that rayon is much easier to switch flavors with, since it's not really holding the juice in as much as e.g. .... cotton, but instead just more acts as a transporter of juice, instead of transporter + accumulator...

 

[Tepid]

I use an iGo-L, I switch out using rayon for every flavor, rinse and dry burn. There is no shortcut.

I use a dna200 with temp control. you can completely dry out a cotton wick easily without burning the cotton for a flavor change and none of the previous flavor remains... it's pretty wild to vape it till it's a bone dry white fluffy wick, then reload the new flavor

 

[KentA]

I'm new to this, but found a small piece of cotton wick that only holds ~ 4 drops works nicely. It's short enough not to droop into the well & switches out of the RDA easily enough. I glow the single coil between flavors to clean it.

The hard part is cleaning my palate between flavors.

 

[DoubleEwe]

Agreed with the above, I just use a shortened wick in a single coil Magma.
It only holds enough to have a couple blasts before needing to be juiced up again. I replace the cotton for each new flavour, especially if the recipes are similar (as it makes it easier to taste the subtle differences).

Mainly though I try to test distinctly different flavours after each other so that the palate doesn't start to play tricks.
