Generally, when putting a juice into a sub-ohm tank, I expect a slightly less vivid reflection of what it tasted like in my RDAs. There seem to be some weird exceptions, though--such as FLV Honey Bee.
I have a bottle of 0.25% FLV Honey Bee + 0.75% FLV Blood Orange that tastes spot-on like orange blossom honey in any of my RDAs, but when I put the same juice in my Cerberus tank, I taste no honey at all--just orange.
So, proving your point then?
Stock coil tanks (sub ohm is the incorrect term. Yes I know it's used by vendors, but it's wrong. Sub ohm refers to resistance of a coil that is below one ohm) generally provide a poor experience for flavor. There are definitely exceptions that provide decent flavor, but the Cerberus isn't one of them. Those coils aren't very good. A properly built and quality RTA and RDA will outperform a stock coil tank always.
My point is that while most flavors are just a bit weaker and less vivid, some just completely vanish in a tank.
Yes it's illogical, but I've adopted the terminology everyone uses because when I talk about encapsulated coil atomizers, no one seems to know what I mean.
Even RTAs have this problem. I find that fruity or menthol flavors taste good in an RTA and cakey dessert flavors are better in a warm RDA. Granted, I vape almost exclusively with RDAs, I still find certain flavor profiles are better in one or the other.
I use RDAs exclusively at home, but when I'm out & about, convenience and absence of juice leaks take precedence over flavor.
Also, dripping while driving is obviously a very bad idea.
I was the same until I got the Topside SE. That 10ml squonk bottle has made it my go to whenever I'm out and about. All the flavor of my RDAs with the convenience of not having to work around not being willing to drip and drive.
ETA: but I never hit anywhere near the 90W max of the Topside, either.
This 100%. Deserts fail to have that explosive punch in most RTAs in my experience.
Happy Cake Day!
Its probably because they are so dry!
Thank you sir! I agree. Been trying my damndest to work on bringing some of that wetness over into my deserts. As I love them and I use RTAs 95% of the time.
Do you have any desert recipes that might fit the bill in that regard? Your custard is actually dank in RTA mode. I figure you’re a good one to ask. I’m also working on making some good, but simple fruit recipes. Just mixed up a raspberry lemonade. Fingers crossed.
I’m wondering if Leche de coco would do well in an RTA 🤔
Thanks for pointing this out. I have an appreciation for this observation.
I don’t know how I really found myself back in this thread or even on this website but hey, I’m here now at this moment.
When I made E-Juice commercially for awhile, I found right away I really needed to readjust some of my favorite recipes because I was usually vaping on my best RDA’s.
I would just like to point out for future readers what you have started to point out, and that is the fact that there is often times a huge difference between a juice that Vapes amazing on your set up, and a juice that Vapes great across many set ups.
This why I strongly suggest taking flavor notes and testing recipes across multiple devices if you plan to make juice for others on either a small or large scale.
Anyways, cheers!
I find even just mixing for myself that ill make a batch with a specific device or style of device in mind... because of this exact flavor issue. If im mixing up a water melon for dripping ill a diff recipe and VG/PG depending on how im going to use it... part of it is that my drip mix is 80%+ VG, but... lol
Yup, that's why most commercial juices are so horribly oversaturated--they're mixed to the lowest common denominator. It's just not possible for a single mix to work well both in a well-built RDA and in a shitty pod device.
This is why the only tank I use takes mesh coils.
That would include the Cerberus, it uses Geekvape Supermesh coils. It performs as expected with most juices; I just bump up the total flavor percentage by 25% when mixing for my tank (all my recipes are developed on and for RDAs.)
