Ways to test new flavors

[Trapper Shrek]

Well I just got 5 new flavors of juice and I was wondering if there are any easy ways to test them without wasting?
I have a cartomizer and a vivi nova but I dont want the flavors to mix.

Any easy/cheap methods?

Atomizers.. I prefer a 306 lr.. They are easy to clean out when needed, and for quick flavor muting between flavors, try pure pg or vg.. Although sharp flavors like fruits and such can be harder to get totally out that way...the vivi nova you have access to the coil, so just drop your flavors on it.. Maybe 3 ata a time, and pg vg between..
If u don't have pg or vg for between drips, most flavors burn off pretty quick..
Just don't fill the tank as this will cause flavor to creep into the flavors you are trying..
And when dripping on the vivi coil, don't allow it to go dry. When the flavor diminishes, drip the new flavor on a few times while vaping In between the drips.. 3 drops isn't a lot so make quick draws and don't let that coil run dry..

Hi

The easiest method is dripping, but it doesn't sound like you have a set-up for that.

That's my favorite too - an LR306 with a Cannon drip tip.

No I am not but I need to get something I just had to throw away 2 refils for my carto because the flavors were nasty.

Cartos are never good for testing, as u found out, even cleaning cartos with PGA doesn't always get it all out

Make sure to read addendum in my original post about short draws on vivi

You can even go 5 drops if u want to really get a good flavor burst.. U can then clean the coil/ wick head in PGA, let it dry then good as new

Will that hurt my vivi nova any? do I pull the wicks out?

Leave all in tact just keep that coil area wet..maybe even lower your voltage if possible to make sure u don't pop it..

Atomizers.. I prefer a 306 lr..

Copper (or maybe it's Cooper) Creek has LR306s and Cannons for a pretty good price.

And keep this info if u do decide to go with 306's which u should for testing and even using,...
This was something I read here on the forums and I have 306's that are 6 mos old minimum...
Boil them in distilled water 3 times for 5 min.change the water each time, just enough to cover them a bit..
Then preheat oven to 180, while oven is preheating the attys will be warm, but you need to blow out excess water, I blow it out from the top of the atty , shouldn't be too hot for your lips,I blow from the top so any gunk that came off wont get stuck in the bridge from blowing bottom to top,anyway,
Fold some foil to make a small tray and set the attys on it,when the oven reaches 180 put them in for 30min..
Take out let cool, do a quick dry burn for about a second 3 times or so(ale sure voltage is minimum 3.7 and I like to dry burn at about 3.2... And u should be good to go..

I use reading glasses and a magnifying glass while dry burning so I can see down where the coil is in them and actually see the coil up close so I get them real clean.. You are new so take it easy dry burning, if they start to feel really hot set that atty down go to the next and come back to the one that was hot...

You could get a few inexpensive clearomizers if you don't want to use atomizers or ruin your vivi nova's. Some flavoring is really hard to get out regardless of what you use.

 

[k3vin]

Yea fluxomizers aren't bad either...

[jacurtwong]

agree with The Ocelot ,use driping so u no need every time wash it.

Thanks all, I think I gam going to go ahead and order a 306!

I'm still waiting for my e-cig (they sent me the wrong one) so I haven't actually tried this yet.

To prevent waste when sampling new flavors, a formula for how much liquid needs to be added to 1 drop of flavor for a given percentage will hopefully be handy.
Enter into WolframAlpha or another graphing program: plot VGPG = (.04/P)*(100-P), P=0 to 25.0
WolframAlpha graph


*The Flavor % is on the horizontal line(X) and the mL to add is on the vertical line(Y)
*.04 is the mL per drop. This is based on 25 drops per mL. With the pipette I used and my shaking hands, I got 28 drops per mL, so I used 1/28 or .036
*P=0 to 25.0: this is the percentage range to graph. If you're only interested in 3% to 10%, change this to P=3 to 10.0 for a more accurate graph.

Example: For 5% flavor, add 1 drop of flavor to about .77mL


Or for more accuracy (using P=3 to 10.0):



Hopefully, I'll be using this by the end of the week. Now, I'm just staring at my E-Juice supplies

Except this is going to vary greatly with different flavor vendors and how concentrated the flavors are. I am not interested in mixing just tasting new juices I buy from vendors.
