How long do you give a new eliquid?

[Mrsmac]

So on the quest for regular juices in the rotation, how long do you give a new juice before you decide it is not for you?

Sat here removing juices i know i will never vape having tried them once and so far I am up to nearly 100+ ml and i am not half way through the collection! Most of them, once I've put them in a tank and taken a few pulls I know whether or not i will like it and usually thank tank goes down the sink.

This is probably a very wasteful way of doing things so just wondered...how long do you give new juices? do you finish the tank or chuck it down the sink?

[toots]

Depends how much I don't like it as to whether it goes down the drain or I vape it with a screwed up face after each puff

[reddragon]

Pretty similar to you, but I will leave it in the tank for a couple of days and try a couple of pulls a few times a day. If there is no hope it then goes down the sink. If there is something there in it that I can taste a bit of promise, I will hang on to it and see if I can add something to it to make it vapeable.

I have probably tipped about 60ml down the sink in total as there was no hope.

[Mrsmac]

I think i should have got into a sink tipping habit a lot sooner, i have just sorted out 26 bottles of juice totalling around 270ml and it seems a shame to chuck it but there is no point in storing up bottles of unused juice, thinking about sending it to the classies for someone who is searching for juice.

I just wondered if there are those that are able to continue vaping the juice until they have finished it even if they dont like it lol

I use a 306 atty to test a new juice, if it's bearable on that I shove done in a dripper, if I enjoy them I fill up a tank!

I've a few that haven't made it past all three tests.... but if recommend using a simple 306 bridgeless atomiser.

I've got about 8 bought from ecigwizard clearance, think I paid under £1 for mine! I splashed out on a couple of cannon style drippers that came with fitted drip tip for under £2 and they last yonks!

I think one of mine has been used all year? a wash, dry, and occasional vodka bath keeps them going and going and no recoiling necessary!

Sometimes you can get a surprise... I had a flavour that I tried and hated so I put it away, a couple of months later I was about to give it away but thought I'd give it another try, it was bleddy wonderful....

So its always worth trying just 1ml of it before it goes, and definately give/sell it on the classies (I can think of one new member who'd bite your hand off if you use the word free)

[Pepperty]

oh! And I never throw shop bought juice away, I'd donate it I hate waste so I'd probably happily post it on free - knowing it was going to a good home

if it's premium stuff I'd gather together and stick in classifieds .... but it's normally vapable so I just plod through it hoping it might miraculously improve after months of stepping ( whilst I try to avoid it)

[Mrsmac]

Pepperty I hve w 306 and a kindly donated igo l and another smaller dripper. The 306 I couldn't get the hang of but the other two are fab, it is more my impatience at waiting for MrMac to come in (watch bubba) before I drip so I fill a tank after the postie has been

edited to add Pepperty what is a cannon style dripper please? May have to add that to my collection

[Pepperty]

I just meant I'd picked up a couple of these: www.ecigwizard.com/bargain-basement/ikenvape-510-cannon-atomiser.html comes with drip tip, hasn't yet tried out, but they look good!

if you like menthol and some of the juices you don't like so much are fruity you could mix them with menthol - refreshes a lot of otherwise boring liquids

@pep Maybe me being dim but do you use these to test out new liquids as well as the 306, read writeup on site and thought they were for continual use till worn out

[Mrsmac]

Hahn thank you Pepperty, I must admit a few bridge less atomisers and a couple of boges ain't used those in years) fell into my basket

Didn't think of that Clivia think I may give that a try, I was going to hold onto sme for when I get the dreaded weather change cold!

[bonnieboy]

@pep next question is what resistance do you use? and what is that bit at the bottom about number of drips all about?

Damn things not letting me highlight names again

Some months ago I made up 50ml of jack the ripple, left it a couple of weeks and tried it, not unpleasant but a bit bland. Shoved it in the back of the cupboard and completely forgot about it until I saw it yesterday, it had completely changed colour so put it in a clean aerotank. What a change! Can now taste raspberry ripple ice cream flavour, must have stayed in the cupboard for about 4 months.

[Mrsmac]

bonnieboy those are basic drippers that some people use to test their eliquids. You would use them until they no longer function. When i had a 306 i would drop a few drops directly onto the heating element and this would provide around 4 pulls, you would then need to drip again. With some atomizers you can drip through flavour changes but i used to rinse mine under the tap, flick and go again. the number of drops is a guidline but as a rule once you get a metalic or burnt taste, you need to chuck it

I am by no means an expert in dripping but hope that helped a little
