Finding a way to effectively test/switch juices

[niteowl2k]

Hi all, so wife and I have CF4+ 70W VV/VW mods and Nautilus Mini tanks w/1.8 BVC coils. We are in experimentation to find the ideal juice - between my B&M and online orders I now have about 15 different flavors. Although coils are not expensive (~$1.75 ea in 5 packs), it's a financial pain to keep swapping them out any time I want to change flavor. I've also noticed that vape gets really muted on some premium juices like Glas Milk after a couple days - started with a brand new coil, vaping ~10ml/day @ 8W. What's the most economical way to try out new flavors - wash/dry by blowing out my BVC coils and don't reuse for 24 hours, or just toss them and buy more?

I would like to move to a 22mm RDA and drip, and I think I could make 28ga Kanthal A1 coils (trying to achieve 1-1.5 Ohm). My first concern is will my mod safely power this setup, I certainly don't want to blow up/render inoperable my only mod. My second concern is cost - finding a newbie RDA + wire + cotton + tools + something to carry all this stuff back and forth with - on a budget. Or maybe there is another solution I ain't seen yet?

I keep multiple tanks on hand, next to me with different flavors. Having extra tanks, at least one extra, for back up purposes alone, is helpful. A dripper is a good way to test flavors, too. And, yes, you can use an RDA with that mod.

I test flavors in whatever I use the most, just to get the real flavor of what I'm going to vape all the time. You can rinse your coils and set them aside, sure. Technically you can still use it before it's completely dry, it just takes a little longer for the flavor to come through. Don't toss it unless it's burnt out, or look into rebuilding those, people do that all the time. Good tutorials for that, and for RBA building on YouTube.

I bought an inexpensive RDA that can be used in single-coil mode. (A Plume Veil, in fact.) I put just enough wick in a single coil to hold enough juice to get two-three decent vapes. Since then I found out about "bridgeless" atomizers. Haven't tried those, yet. The RDA works pretty well for testing.

Well, except for the fact that set me off to buying one-RDA-after-the-other

I used to soak my coil heads in vodka overnight. It not only helps keep your coils clean and last longer but will also help get rid of the flavor if you're going to be changing juice

I never did anything to the coils when changing juices when I used tanks, didn't even swap them. Just filled the tank with the new flavor and continued vaping. Would get a few hits with the flavors mixed, but after a short while the new juice fully replaces the old juice in the coil. The mixture might not be good if the two flavors don't go well together though.

If the new juice ended up being something I didn't like, I'd just dump the tank and fill it with a strong flavor to hide the old one in the coil until it was completely out of the cotton.
