Trying Multiple Juices in Same Tank

[GtheMISFIT]

What up guys!!!

I'm new here, been smoking newports for like 25 years and just started vaping about 4 months ago and haven't looked back!!!

I just ordered "Heathers" sample pack and just had one concern.....How am I gonna give each flavor a good try in just one tank? about 95% of the time im just vaping Halo Mystique Menthol and I find If I put even the tiniest bit of flavor along with it or empty and try a full tank of something different it takes DAYS to get that "new taste" out.....So if im trying a bunch of new flavors how do I try them while getting their full flavor? Do i have to empty clean and also put a whole new coil everytime?...Thats kinda a pain. Im currently using the ITazte VV with Nautilus Mini. I'd hate to have to buy 5 different tanks for each flavor.

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Cheers

Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!

You could consider buying a dripping atomizer. It won't have anywhere near the airflow of your nautilus but many DIY'ers use these to taste test their batches.

Here is a great blog post on dripping by ECF member The Ocelot on non-rebuildable dripping. Drip, Drip, Drip - The Sound of Dripping.

Disposable 510 Drippers

510 Standard Resistance Dripping Atomizer
Bridgeless 510 Atomizer, 2 ohms

Welcome to ECF!

As Susan mentioned, dripping atomizers are a great way to taste your different flavors. However, if you are limited to one tank and just want to periodically change the flavor that you are vaping without flavor crossover, there are a couple strategies you can use:

1) Rinse your tank thoroughly. Some people scrub (carefully in the case of the glass); others soak (in water, vodka, or other solution); some even use an ultrasonic jewelry washer.

2) Rinsing your coil head will only partially remove the taste of a very strong flavor. If this is the case, you can change out the head for different flavors (or flavor types: 1 for menthol, 1 for fruits, 1 for cinnamon, and so on) and keep re-use the head (as long as it is still good) when you return to the original flavor.

3) Some tank heads can also be re-wicked (replacing the wicking material), rebuilt (replacing the actual coil within the head with new wire), or both. If just rewicking, it is advisable to dry-burn your coil so that the excess juice is burned off before refitting the new wick. A quick search on youtube should give you some idea on how to do this and see if it is even right for you.

4) Another option is to buy a cheap tank for tasting. Some decent non-disposable tanks can be had for $5 or so--and while they may not provide the same experience as your Nautilus Mini, they can give you an inkling on how a juice tastes.

5) Change your mind about having multiple tanks. Many of us use a variety of toppers just so that we can have several flavors in rotation.

Just a few thoughts for you to mull over. Congratulations on quitting the smokes and, once more, welcome to the forum!

Thanks sop much for the info guys!!

I went down to my local shop yesterday thinking id walk out with "dripping system". The thing the guy said i needed was called PV2 Box Mod 50 Watt.....and it was freakin $200!!! Is that what have to spend to get a good one of these? I mean he had his own and was letting me try a bunch iof flavors out of it and it was definitely great!!! I see on the net I can get it for like $90 (assuming its the same as the one he had). The ones I see online are just the box too....he had pretty large tube coming out of his where you would take your hit off of.

I dont mind spending a little over $100 on the net for one of these and I def dont wanna get something that'll fall apart, but is there something just as good for cheaper? I mean i assume I'll still smoke out of my regular tank most of the time, or do you guys think i would use this Box more?

And would these Atomizers fit onto my itazte vv?

Thanks Guys!!

That guy probably needed to make his commission for the month...Don't let anybody tell you that you need something that you really don't. If you went into that store with a question about a new topper (tank or whatever) and then he tries to sell you a new battery, I would avoid that shop like the plague in the future if I were you. If you're just looking for something to try out new flavors and ease of use, I recommend the 510 dripping atomizers. The way they give off flavour is spot on, it's easy to change flavours, and they last for ages if you maintain them well.

Most B&M's follow the current "flavor of the month" and very few know what a 510, 901, or 306 are out alone stock them. I personally would suggest the 510 attys from Roar Vapor, I like the 1.5 ohm myself but I am not sure what your device can handle ohm wise so make sure you stick to that.

When using a 510 to try flavors it is handy to have a small bottle of pg and between flavors you can always drop a few drops of the pg in and blow it out, helping to remove the last flavor you tried before moving on to the next one.

Thanks!!

Would the 510 fit right onto my itazte vv or would i have to buy something else to power it? Thanks!!

It will fit the itaste, as is, now if you decided you wanted to do more than just test juices with one I would suggest a 510/510 sealed adaptor and a drip shield, but for just a few drops here or there to test with those are not really needed.

Ok awesome, thanks so much!!

I can't believe that dude at my local shop...he's mad cool too. But he gave me absolutely no options except for that $200 one....craziness

 

[NancyR]

Some of that is because there are 2 completely different types of drippers, the ones like the 510, 306, 901 and 357 I think is the other one, or the rda's. The rda's require way more wattage to reach the same heat due to things like the size and air flow.

RDA's are also what the cloud chasers use tho not all vapors using them are cloud chasers.

 

[dannyfallen]

Sorry for the nob question. But when u mentioned variety of toppers, do u have any pictures? i considering to get another tank for dessert favor

Was it $200 just for the box or $200 for everything? Because generally when someone walks into a B&M, talking about dripping, they want a higher watt sub-ohm setup. What you were recommended in this thread isn't something many B&M's carry anymore because they don't really sell.

Now if it was $200 just for the box, that's outrageous. But if it was $200 for everything you need, the price sounds about right at many B&M's considering their overhead vs buying online.

Ya, it was $200 for everything and i actually talked him down to $180

I called down there and she said they had the 510 atomizers ($35) and she said it would work with my itazte but that i wouldnt be getting near 1005 of the flaover.vapor because either my itazte vv doesnt have high enough watz or omes...or both, idk. She said for most people that walk in asking for what im asking for want the full "experience" or whatever and cheapest for that she said $150.

So now i dont know if i should get the 510 and throw it on my itazte, spend the $150 and get something sweet or just try different tanks(which that seems like a pain).

I smoke on mine all day as ive been a newport smoker for 25 yrs but havent smoked 1 cig since i got my setup like 4 months ago. Guess what im trying to say is that im a heavy smoker/vapor...i work from home so im constantly vaping. With that in mind do u giuys think maybe i should bite the bullet and spend the money?

Thanks agin guys, very helpful!!!

I have a mutation x v2, ipv2s and efest purple 18560 batteries and I am really happy with this setup. Everything cost me less than $110.

ummmm if they want $35 for a standard 510 atty, RUN the other way. A top of the line 357 will run something between $20 to $30 if I remember correctly but they last a long time and even with people that use reg attys it is debatable as to if they are worth it. A really good 510 that will last a couple months of continuous use runs less than $10

If you get into something like that, I would probably get into something other then the iPV2 if spending that kind of money. Because for $200, you could get a genuine HANA DNA 40 V4D on clearence with slight imperfections and an RDA clone. And buying online, you can buy the kind of setup the B&M is trying to sell you for under $100.

If you do decide to upgrade, look at your options. Decide if you want to give rebuildables a go, they are not for everyone and require knowledge of ohms law and a few other things to be safe. Or do you just want something you don't need to fiddle with in that way.

You also need to decide if you want to stay with a built in battery or if you want to move into something with a replaceable battery, the later requires not just a new mod and batteries but also a good charger.

There are tons of options depending on what you want, what you enjoy and what you are comfortable with.

 

[Muru]

Try the 510 atty, just don't buy them at that shop You have been cig-free with your setup, so it works! Why spend money on something else? Then again, if you really want to part with your dollars, there's plenty of options out there. Just realize that when you decide you want an rda or rta, you'll need to start building your own coils.... Maybe get a hybrid tank first, one that takes stock coils as well as gives you the option to build your own....like a Kanger subtank or something.. should be around $35, but then you'll need to upgrade your battery as well....

I think the question is getting a little muddled here...

If you want the ability to just try new flavors without having to fill a new tank, the 510 atomizer is the best, cost-effective way. The best deal that I know of is from Vapor Kings (10, in bulk, for $10).

If you want another topper that will run on your iTaste v3, I'd recommend another tank like your Nautilus Mini or even something as cheap as an Evod Glass.

If you want to drip regularly, then you have many options, ranging from the cheap to the very expensive. NOTE: your iTaste will run a dripper just fine if you stay above 1 ohm... but most who do drip regularly usually go for lower resistances and higher power (in which case, your iTaste will not be sufficient).

My advice, since you are still just starting out, is to stick with what you know and what you are comfortable with. Quitting smoking is not a popularity contest. If vaping works to get you off of cigarettes, then keep doing what you are doing. People (and shop owners) will talk about dripping, sub-ohming, rebuilding, and high wattage devices because many experienced vapers like these things--but that does not mean they are right for everyone.

That said, I'd recommend getting another tank so that you can switch between flavors more easily. If you'd like to taste other flavors without committing to them, you can also pick up one or more 510 atomizers. Save your money for bigger setups until you have a better idea of what it is you like and where you want to go.

PS. It's not "smoking," it's "vaping."

 

[clawdog]

if you run all the stuff under hot water for a few minutes (small stream helps finger burning) and dry everything by hand with toilet paper or paper towel, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and refill, you'll not notice much after 5-10 vapes.

off cigs = who cares. I'm sure the above advice is good too. usually is here.

edit: prime your tank heads (the coil holding thing). put some new juice directly on that part before you switch liquids, then fill the tank and assemble.
