Testing Juice Flavors?

[jaxgator]

I have quite a few new juices that I would like to try out. What is the easiest/most efficient way to do this?

Currently I have a couple of Nautilus tanks and an RSST (just got it yesterday and haven't set it up yet).

What I have done in the past is to put a little juice in the Nautilus, taste it and then take the tank apart and clean it. Take the coil head off and give it a vodka bath. Rinse and blow out the coil head and reassemble the Nautilus. Pour a little of the next juice in and repeat.

Is there a better way? Would dripping be easier/more efficient? Use the dripper, change out the cotton and try the next juice? Or is the way I am currently doing it good enough?

I found a perfect solution to this. One of the vape shops close by sells a mini rda. It's about $10 (probably much cheaper online). I bought one for exactly the same thing. This way, I can test new flavors without gunking up a clearomizer or loading up a normal RDB\RBA with something that may not be what I expected, and then have to clean it all out. This one's easy-peasy. Got a little coil and some silica wicks, which I imediately replaced with cotton.

It's not going to give you a perfect taste, like what you would get from a good clearo, RDA, or RBA, but, it will give you a good idea. Basically, if it tastes good in this mini-RDA, it will taste even better in a regular atomizer. If it tastes like crap in the mini, don't even bother trying it elsewhere.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. The dripping method would be the best.

Thanks for your response.

When I was tasting many juices I used one of these regular 510 dripping attys. If you're using a regulated mod I would chose between the 1.8 ohm to the 2.5.

You can certainly use a RDA, but that involves you making a coil and wicking it. It's your call, but the 510 atty will do the job quite well and you don't have to build it. You'll want a drip tip to put on it.

Thanks for the response!

So, one just screws this in, drips a couple drops in it and then vape it? If so, how does one go about removing the previous flavor? just burn it off?

You can burn it off or flush it with water. Either way works great, but I used to use the water process more often.

I use Ryedan's atty method but have been leaning more towards my SMOKTech RDA since I build.

I use an vision twist and build a 1.5 ohm coil using 30 ga and change the cotton between flavors. I got tired of walking to the sink to wash out my atty. I can sit at my desk with a couple juices and some cotton and rock. I don't thread the cotton through the coil, it sits on a cloud of cotton which makes it easier to swap between flavors. Both of these work great!

Also, it you go with a dripper, burn the coil between cotton switches to get the last flavor off of the coil.

Excellent! Thanks so much for your advice. This looks like the easiest and least expensive way to go.

Well, as I stated in my OP with the RSST, I am just now in the process of getting together all the necessities for rebuilding so Ryedan's atty method is probably best for me at this point but thank you very much for your response.

This is what I use when I am testing samples and it works great.
For cleaning I have a medicine dropper bottle or you could use a juice dropper bottle I suppose. I keep everclear in the bottle. 4-5 drops, shake and blow, 2-3 5 sec dryburns and the atty is good to go for the next sample.


This beats the heck out of washing tanks and cleaning atomizer heads.

Don't give up on a sample if you don't like it on the first try. Let it sit for a week and try it again. Steeping really can make a difference

I've been using a 510-T for testing on my Egos. Worked for me.

Thanks! And yeah, I was getting tired of all that was involved when using tanks to sample. What a PITA! I will be ordering what Ryedan suggested.

Buy a igo w for 12$ on eBay then get you some kanthal and organic cotton build a coil try a flavor then when you wanna try it different one rip out the cotton dry burn the coil stuff some new cotton in and have a vape that's the beauty of the organic cotton it's cheap and easy to wick through your coil
