What equipment do you use to sample new flavors?

[Clinton350]

I'm pretty well hooked on CE2 Carto's. I started with the regular poly filled boge type ones but found CE2s to be the best mix of convenience and performance. I had a bunch of regular size clearomizers that I used only for trying new flavors because they're a bit easier to clean than the steel ones but they leak too much for my everyday use. But really this is a bit too much hassle and I cringe everytime I get samples in the mail and think about the long process of washing these things out and burning them dry again before trying another flavor.

Is there a better way to try samples? Since I started with cartos I've never really learned anything about atomizers or dripping. I'm thinking about just taking a clearomizer apart and throwing away the tube and rubber o-rings ect and just dripping the sample liquid onto the coil. Or should I just buy a couple of atomizers for this? What do YOU do?

I use 510 dripping atomizers from Smart Vapes on a Buzz Pro.

Very easy to clean: blow it out, put a carto condom over the threaded end, fill atty half full of PGA, put thumb over mouthpiece end, shake, empty, blow out, done. Takes 2-3 minutes.

I'm interested to hear others on this too. I have a couple of the "drip style" atomizers, but doing it that way always seem to have a rather weak vapor production. Just tastes/hits with a "watered down" feeling compared to cartos. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I'm getting more and more sold on the tank systems, though. You can use as little or as much as you want when sampling, and I just rinse w/water and blow out the excess when switching. Then you can just fill it up 1/4 of the way.

De-bridged LR atties.

I use a regular resistance atty, with a VW device (Darwin). I think a variable wattage/voltage device is helpful, because as you turn it up or down you can taste different parts of a complex flavor.

I like to use attys for this, because they are easier to clean out after a short test. I flush them with a Cartomizerfillinator using ISO alcohol. Alcohol dries much faster than water, and won't mold if you have a hot and humid location.

It may sound stupid but I have no idea how to use attomizers. Do you need blank carts to use with them? Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to "drip"? What exactly are "drip tips" for?

 

[MaxUT]

"Dripping" in an atomizer consists of dripping e-liquid down the barrel of the atomizer, typically 2-3 drops at a time. The number of drags you can get before needing to re-drip varies depending on type of liquid, size of drops, type of atomizer, voltage, length and speed of drags, but it's typically 3 to 5 drags.

A drip tip is generally preferred for this style of vaping. The original idea behind these tips was to drop liquid through the hole of the drip tip without removing it, but unless you're very accurate some of the liquid hits the inside of the tip and will shortly be sucked out into your mouth. I always remove the tip to drip.

Some people, usually those who use an 801 atomizer, may go without a cartridge or drip tip, placing their lips directly on the uncovered end of the atomizer. This is called "stovepiping." The longer length and cooler running of 801 attys make this easy to do. It's not popular with the short, hotter 510 attys, as you might imagine.

+1 on this. They work awesome!

I use a de-plated eGo-T atty for dripping sample flavs.

306s are awesome... 3.5 ohm and 1.5 ohm... ikenvape and Cisco...

I use a clean clearo, I just open up the top mouth piece and drip just a drop or two on the coil. Works just fine for about 3-4 vapes. Good enough for me to test and then fill later. Just did a back to back test of lemonade, cranberry lime, and pineapple cream soda. Each flavor came through true to form and I didn't care for the pineapple through testing or filled so I added a cherry diy flavor I have and now its livable.

I'm a 100% dripper, so I just drip a few drops, take some vapes...and if I like it, vape it all. Otherwise I just blow it out and drip something else. I usually save menthol, cinnamon or any other flavors that might stick to an atty for last, or switch to a different one for those.

This is what I've done w/my old carto's for trying sample's works great! You don't have to use much juice this way. Very Easy

510 atty on my VV device..that way I can see what the different voltage can offer as far as flavor...
