Wrong forum... intentionally

I have an atty question, so this might seem like an odd place to post this, but there's a method to my madness. I'm a carto guy because I like the low maintenance involved. Especially with a home made carto tank. But for diy, cartos are such a pain to clean out for slight changes. So...

Anyone out there who pretty much just uses attys for flavor testing? If so, do you have a recommendation for a good user-friendly atty for a 501?

IDK about 501 atty's, sorry can't help you there.

Basic 901 atty's with a 901 to 501 adapter (is what I plan to use since I already have them). I don't recall off hand now where I got mine, they were in a bulk deal. They have lasted a long time dripping pre-mixed juices. I hope they last now for my DIY adventures.

 

[KrisBKream]

If you think of it, let me know. I have adapters so I can use 501 and 808/901 stuff interchangeably. My cats or my daughter decided to hide them, but they'll turn up at some point

I looked it up. I got them at Vapor Kings Bulk Attys. I have been very pleased with them.

I'll Jump in, I'm strictly a Boge Carto girl myself. What I do is wash a hand full of cartos every few months and use those reused low quality cartos for tasting. If I don't like the flavor I toss it. No big deal, if I like the flavor I'll finish off my small 3 ml bottle with the Carto then toss and start new. Just an idea

Do you mean 510 threaded rather than 501? The easiest to clean imo are the 306 attys. They fit on 510 threaded PVs. I buy them in bulk from Vapor Kings also. They're authentic Joye brand LR306s. I watch for % off sales from them - 10 attys for $36 shipped. I don't know what kind of PV you're using so LR may not be a fit for you. IKV has great attys also.

I rinse them in hot water in the evening, blow out the water and they're ready to go in the AM. With DIYing I want a clean taste and these work for that. I did the cleaning rituals (vodka/PGA/vinegar/sonic cleaner/denture cleaners) for months until I found a post with this simple daily-rinse method. Saves gobs of time and my attys seem to last longer.

Good luck with your DIYing. Isn't it fun?

I have in the past removed the filler out of a carto and dripped in that. It was a quick fix until my attys arrived. There are a couple of video's on youtube on how to do it.

Kris....you can turn your carto into a quick test "atty" You remove the filler leaving the center air tube and wicking.....check out Snow's videos....he does one right there for ya Unless you really want an atty I use both so I really have no preference, but it is easy peasy to change a carto (especially one that has a flavor stuck in the filler) into a tester.

Edit: Kay beat me to the punch.....I really should not get distracted while typing a response....I miss too much...lol

i use cisco spec 306 attys with drip tip for flavor testing

ETA: these fit on a 510 thread

I drip test all of my new juices on a standard resistance joye 510. This can be seen multiple times in my videos.

I've got three debridged/dewicked 510 attys I use for flavor testing and have a couple of 306 on the way to see if I like them any better.

I prefer a debridged atty because I can just remove the drip tip, drip one drop straight on the coil, get 6-8 good hits off the thing and then it's done.

Cleanup is nonexistant with a debridged, dewicked also. I have one that went missing I used to test diy. When it shows back up I need to toy around with some more recipes.
