The Orange Juice Test.

Also, keep in mind, orange juice can pretty much vary from orange to orange to company to company. Most manufactered orange juice has a very high acidity, I don't care what anyone says. Certainly more so than grape juice or lemon juice, which are more alkaline in form, in terms of mass production.
Organic orange juice is quite smooth and probably wouldn't work for this test.

Before you go calling people names, maybe you should do some research. Citric acid makes up 5 percent to 6 percent of the lemons content. Oranges have .08 to 1 percent citric acid. Therefore, lemons are more acidic.
EDIT - Research:
Typical range of PH for various fruits:
Lemon Juice - 2.00 - 2.60
Orange Juice - 3.30 - 4.19
Bananas - 4.50 - 5.20
The lower the number, the more acidic it is. The higher the number, the more base it is. The pH scale is logarithmic and as a result, each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value. For example, pH 4 is ten times more acidic than pH 5 and 100 times (10 times 10) more acidic than pH 6. The same holds true for pH values above 7, each of which is ten times more alkaline (another way to say basic) than the next lower whole value. For example, pH 10 is ten times more alkaline than pH 9 and 100 times (10 times 10) more alkaline than pH 8. So as you can plainly see, lemon juice is approx. 10 times more acidic than orange juice.
If you want to taste your juice, you need a clean palate. And sir, it is "palate" and not "palette." A palette is something an artist uses to lay and mix his paint colors.

Grape juice contains tannin similar to wine and could possibly coat your tongue with the aftertaste that comes after chewing grapes, drinking wine, or drinking tea.
Depends on what the companies are putting in the orange juice. Eating a regular orange will not work in the way I described the test, and that's why I said to drink orange juice, not to eat an orange.
I can eat an orange and it doesn't make my tongue dry in the least. Orange juice sure does. Depending on how organic it is.
There's more factors about this effect out there than just the PH scale imo. Then again, it could be the alkaline, I may have just been mistaken. I just know that orange juice isn't considered to be a palate cleanser in our hobby. Grape juices, coffees, and lemon juices are more preferred, and I think there's a reason why. Again, could have been my mix up between acidity and alkaline, and in that case, I was pretty much right with wrong terms. So there was no real reason to behave any different than if my information was correct. The effect is the SAME.
Go ahead ya'll try and sip a bit of orange juice with your vape, bet you won't vape after it. If my assumptions are correct, half the folks are running around here vaping metal ions and nasty tasting chemicals made from the gunking of propylene glycol, if ya'll want to vape that, go ahead, I'm just giving people a test where they can do it to improve their own atomizers and have a realistic idea of what they're really vaping. I bet everyone will feel a little like me after they try it, they'll taste weird stuff and will have no clue why.
But if your atomizer is clean, I bet you'll taste nothing but vapor. Can be a nice way to gauge.

On-topic note here, has anyone tried raspberry for this experiment? My in-laws pureed raspberries as a desert topping, and it literally hurt my tongue. I won't be trying it again. It just hurt - it didn't do anything to assist in tasting silicate or metal, which I can't imagine doing on purpose anyway.
Off-topic: I apologize to the mods. I try to be good, but some things I just can't resist. I know you guys do a good job, but some things are too hard to pass up.

Doesn't the tongue have 4 or 5 different taste receptors? So depending on where the blast of vapor hit directly will affect the flavor. If you really want to get a muted flavor... numb your tongue with oragel or something similar. Feels weird though.
Good to know, but I've never had a problem tasting how my atomizers color my vape (for a lack of a better term)
I tried oj, but now my tongue only can taste soapy perfume
so now what...are my taste buds fried? I'll try some pga...
Sent by my cat through pure magic

How do I "taste" my atomizer? Do I just load up a tank with oj and vape away? Or should I season it with some salt and pepper and throw it on the grill?
Quantitative Assessment of Citric Acid in Lemon Juice, Lime Juice, and Commercially-Available Fruit Juice Products
Trying to see if the page that has the information will show up here.
If you click on TABLE 1 and the click on it again, it gives you the content of citric acid in each fruit. Notice they add citric acid to Tropicana orange juice? Juice from the fruit of the orange actually has less citric acid. Interesting. But even though citric acid is added, there is still quite less than what is in the fruit of the lemon etc...
You have to love Google. It takes some digging, but you can still find reputable sources of information.

That was the ground up glass they put in it. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, but frankly, your in-laws just don't like you.
often, machine oils weren't fully cleaned out
these machine oils are defeated easily. dawn cannot penetrate it's forcefield
