Testing 10 flavors w/ 1 atty...any advice?

[jkbaugh18]

I know vaping more than 1 flavor through an atty can sort of tarnish the taste results, but I just ordered 10 sample bottles from fsusa and don't really want to spend 80 bucks on attys just for a test.

How should I go about doing this to keep from messing it up too bad? I'm thinking that vaping the lighter flavors first and cleaning after each one might help. Anyone else got any ideas? Also if it helps, these are the flavors I am getting:

banana strawberry
caramel cinnamon bun
caramel cream
cherry lime-aide
chocolate covered banana
french toast
fuzzy navel
ginger bread cookie
peanut butter cup
pina colada

try dripping a couple of drops of vg after each flavor ?
seems like that would help clear residual tastes
good luck and enjoy

IMO The peanut butter cup and the ginger bread cookie in particular and then the fuzzy navel and banana strawberry are your flavors most likely to be flavors that may linger on your atty. I would do those last.

Once you get an idea if you like any of these flavors, you can go to cartomizers and dedicate one to each flavor. They are an inexpensive way to be able to vape many flavors and maintain their individual tastes.

I like the VG idea, might give that a try.

How long do cartomizers last as compared to normal atomizers?

I don't believe there is a definitive answer to this as some people seem to be atty killers. I have been vaping with the same attys for months and the same cartomizers.

Well, I've been doing pretty well with the attys I've got, used one almost exclusively for a month and it's still performing fine. I'm just leary of the vast price difference. I am a firm believe of "you get what you pay for" and it just seems to me that there must be some reason I can buy 5 cartomizers for the same price as 1 atomizer.

One good way is to test on a bridgeless atty. The other night I tried 20 flavors in 61 minutes, doing a quick dry burn in between each flavor. I blew them out from the top and didn't blow the atty out from screw end after each dry burn; rather just from the top.

Mint, menthol, banana and a few others will linger a little longer than others. Start with what you think might be the lightest flavor. If a quick dry burn doesn't clear it out do about 5 quick dry burns (just till the coil glows then blow down into atty - repeat several times.) then you can do a quick hot water rinse, wrist fling and blow out several times and then dry burn. That should take care of the flavors as there isn't much left in the atty for juice to stick to. (The process removes the bridge, mesh, and small wick.)

There are also discussion on bridgeless dripping on ECF.

I strongly suggest doing the bridgeless dripping using only a manual battery, or manual PT, etc., as it is easy to flood the atty even after you get the hang of bridgeless dripping.

I couldn't agree with this more. Kudos for the reply!

I didn't think about that, but that's pretty smart. I have removed the bridge from a few of my attys and it makes sense that it would be much easier to clean a bridgeless atty since it has less mesh for the juice to get stuck in.

I think I'll take some of my older attys and clean them really good and remove the bridges from the ones that still have them. Then I'll just cycle the flavors through 3 attys instead of one. Then I can use SuZamme's recommendations on which ones to use last on each seperate atty so those flavors don't cross over too much.

Thanks so much for your help everyone, I love how I can count on ECF to get a quick response to pretty much anything my curious mind can come up with
