Simplest way to test juice?

[Jerri]

I use a mini nova tank and am looking for a simpler way to test juice.

Usually I add a few drops to the nova. But then have to take it apart, clean it dry it etc. which is a pain when you have a few juices you want to try.

Surely there's a simpler way?

Sorry if it's a stupid question.

[Chrissie]

Not a stupid question at all Jerri.

The best way is to buy an atomiser (either a 510 or 306) & drip juice directly onto the coil & then just bung an approprite drip tip onto the atomiser.

Whilst the majority of folks will probably go down the dripping system, I just cannot get to grips with dripping at all.

I prefer to use a Bud.

I put a little juice into the Bud and vape it. When I want to change the flavour, I use a syringe and some water in a mug.
I put the syringe into the Bud and extract the remaining juice. I then squeeze some water in until it is half full, put a finger over the hole and give the Bud a good shake. I then extract the dirty water and repeat the process.
Then it is ready for the next juice flavour to go in.
I have been using the same Buds for a couple of months now with no problems.
They give me a good clean taste and I only put any e-juices into my wicked tanks after I have obtained satisfactory results from the Buds.

Thanks. Sorry, what's an atomiser?

I have an ego-t battery so I assume I'd need a 510 one.

Thank you. Will check those out.

A 306 atty works on a 510 connection Jerri, you'd just need a 306 drip tip as 510s don't fit.

ETA an atomiser (atty) is the bit that vaporises the juice. It doesn't have filler material like a carto does.

[Jerri]

So something like this

Or the bud would do the trick?

[Chrissie]

No Jerri, those are just cartridges.

These are 510 atomisers -

And these are 306 atomisers -

[Jerri]

Right. Thanks. Much appreciated.

[Chrissie]

No problem Jerri & as Dizzi says, though the 306 atomiser does fit 510 batteries, you do need to buy a specific 306 drip tip to use with it.

I'd like to get into dripping more.

However, my little joyetech 510 atomizers a) leak liquid and b) get hot enough to cook omelets.

Would 306s be the same?

Also, and I know this sounds utterly bonkers.....but if I attach one of those tiny cartridges to one, which way round do they go? I always thought you lined up the rectangle (white bit) inside the atomizer with rectangle of cartridge. But what about the mesh bridge.....that looks to work at 90 degrees to the other bits... :-[ :-[

[giles]

The 306 is just for direct dripping, not for use with a cartridge. Standard 510 cartridges wouldn't work anyway.

The 306 gives flavour like nothing else I've seen. It is more expensive, particularly as it needs a special drip tip (and a battery of say 400mah or better)

You can wash the juice from an atomiser just as easily as a Bud - just run it under a hot tap. The problem is drying it. You can just vape through the water, but that is a bit of a nuisance. You can leave it on the radiator overnight, but that takes patience. You can use a hair drier. If it is a 510 (not a 306) you can dry-burn it, but that reduces its life.

A 306 is worth having just to experience the flavour. A couple of cheap 510 attys will let you taste two juices side by side.

<<< You can wash the juice from an atomiser just as easily as a Bud ->>>

This is ofcourse very true, but for the price of an atomiser, you can have 2 Buds.
Also, you will not be testing juice everyday and Buds are also small tanks and I often use my Buds for all day use, well a good 8 hours each if I fill them up.

These days I have 6 Buds, 3 kept for different types of juices and 3 filled for all day use.

[giles]

Buds are certainly cheap, so I went looking. Thread here last year allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=reviews&action=display&thread=3361&page=1 pretty mixed. And Busado, who I kind of like, didn't get on with them at all , but some folks obviously do.

I'm basically a Nova user, and most people rate the taste from them, but the 306 is something else.

Easiest way to solve your problem is steep your new juices and then send them to me, I will send back the duff ones

I took delivery of some buds this morning and have been using them all day. To be honest I have mixed feelings about them at the moment. I think they may be a 'Marmite' item.
