Realised I have fallen into what is probably a nerdy routine around sampling new flavours, which I'm sure is not for everyone but I am really enjoying. It has developed over about a year.

I had some 5ml bottles lying around (they actually hold around 6.5ml) so I started to make up 5 ml testers at first, then 6ml.

I keep 250ml of ready made PG/VG/NIC with 7% of flavour missing for mixing samplers, so all I have to do is weigh in the required amount of flavour, then fill it up to the total weight with the pre-made. I just rinse out the bottles so no washing up required. I put a little temp label on cap so I can remember what is what. 

My everyday take to work setup (an Ubertoot clone on a Pico) holds 5 ml - so I fill it up each day with a new flavour - 5ml lasts me almost exactly until I come home, the remaining 1 ml goes in a dripper for second thoughts tasting. In the rare event I don't have any new flavours I often re-sample old ones.

This means I get to live with each flavour a little and really get to know it, which for me is good  - I also really look forward to each vape break! Only on rare occasions have I ended up with an ADV that I dislike enough not to want any more - in which case I keep a full Pico squeeze as a backup in my bag, so I use that instead.

Be fascinated to hear what other people do (if anything!) around sampling new flavours.





 


 

Good luck with your venture georgerobertson6.

I hardly ever use pre-made as I like wrapping coils, but when I have, something that drives me nuts is people not giving full info about coils/wire - eg what wires are used to make up claptons, the ohm, the diameter etc.

I think it would also be great to recommend the best use for coils and, of course, some safety info.

Hope you don't mind me suggesting but, if I were you and were selling to strangers I'd also do a bit of a disclaimer (ie be safe, use good batteries and safe equipment, but we accept no liability for unsafe use of this product sort of thing - could probably crib a wording online)

I would be worried about some idiot, who thinks OHMs Law is a TV detective series about a Buddhist monk, putting an 0.1 build in a mech with a cheap fake battery, then blaming the resulting mayhem on my coils and taking me to court!

(OK, I'm old and cynical....)

I really like Flavour Apprentice Peppermint, Postmodern Smoking. I tried it @ 7% as a standalone and it was very strong - a nice peppermint candy type flavour, not too sweet.

If you are feeling adventurous the ultimate peppermint flavour for me is the Flavour Apprentice Creme de Menthe - version 1 or version 2 - this is stunning as a standalone mixed at 8% or as a mixer.

Am liking it  lee - have a Kangertech dripbox spare bottle in it (the one it came with was a little stiff but did not bother me that much, like the feel of the Kanger better, though). Currently have an Orage style RDA on it - dual SS coils at 0.22OHM, 47watts - lasts for ages, have only briefly tried the SS temp control - seems ok but I don't use TC much.

I got it for battery life rather than high watts.
