WOULD EVERYONE WHO HAS ACCURATELY DETERMINED THEIR CS's PPM, PLEASE DENOTE IT AND RANK ITS FLAVOR INTENSITY ON A SCALE OF 1-5? Thanks!
1 - barely perceptible at all 2 - definite, but mostly as an aftertaste 3 - definite, metallic flavor 4 - strong, metallic flavor 5 - very metallic; bitter What I'm ultimately trying to determine is whether TASTE is actually the best low-tech indication of CS strength, since other *inexpensive* methods like laser pointers & cheap conductivity meters can be ambiguous. I'd like to be able to recommend to novices that CS approximates the optimal concentration (5-10 ppm) when it has perceptible, but not powerful, metallic taste. (The person's taste-sensitivity to CS might even serve an interactive purpose, indicating the NEEDED concentration; i.e., the "right" concentration might vary slightly with one's particular condition.) Frank alludes that sterling silverware is tasteless; thus he implies that ionic silver generates the CS flavor. Since ions are an unavoidable byproduct of the typical LVDC method, its presence in CS will be reliable. Without a PWT meter, at least, we should be safe in assuming that the ion : particulate ratio of clear CS is at most 90 : 10, and probably 80 : 20.
