I just did a taste test. Dripping tastes the best, then cartos, then the clearos. Surprising. When I dripped the juice, MyVaporStore Banana Frost 50/50 in 1.2%, the full banana flavor was right up front. The carto and clearo both muted the flavor but not horribly.
I can see how variable wattage would be great for vaping. Just start at 8 and mess around. I'd love it but I'm not going to buy any new PVs for a bit. I want to get the parts to make mine an eGo-C Tank (type B looks better to me) or get a Vivi tank or whatever they are called. I expect to be spending some time on youtube before I end up with a decision.
