I also had a very hard time about that, and hence, why I upped the nic and now I actually can better pinpoint it, since I actually know what i'm looking for and not stabbing in the blind or how it's expressed.
I had tasted direct the vg when I got it and didn't noticed anything out of the ordinary, just the warm sweet mild taste like syrup, but with the first hit of the dripper I immidiatelly got that famillar taste back, which I haden't had in months. Though it's very slight, but still there, and I use unflavored, or else I don't think I would have noticed! I know it sounds stupid, but it's a slight aftertaste of something reminding of vanilla and milk, like vanilla ice cream maybe(before you ask, the wick/coil has only been used with unflavored ) Also a little less sweet, but still the very slight sourness i've recently learned all vg posesses also. The previous vg had a more powerfull sweetness and also a little more powerfull sourness, guess that's what you guys call tangy I believe? - but otherwise neutral. As I use unflavored with only 3mg and 10% water, I can really notice the nuances out of the vg and especially with a dripper, lung-hitting dual 3mm 24g KA1 at 60 watts.
Firstly, kudos on making it through the first 118 pages, so your soon fully catched up, that shows real determination, mate!
Second, sorry I don't have experince specifically with ecx, but I remember the comments about it beeing thin and that they replied back to him swearing that they didn't add dw? I just found an older thread with someone stating the same observation, mailing them, and gotten a reply back that they did add dw! That was an old post though, from end of 2012...
Many of us add water to our mixes, including me, so they wick better, but we prefer generally to not have the bases pre-diluted down, because water added, adds O2 and O2 is the enemy of nic and makes it react i.e. oxidize. Also the good thing about getting nic base in vg, besides being able to make higher vg percent max-vg mixes, or 100% vg, is it's thicker viscosity, which makes it hold up better against oxidation when freezing for long term storage and that is hindered by adding water. Second, as allready said, it's highly annoying to not know how much is added and not labelling it correctly with the amount dw used!
), I can not say for sure, but I have never heard of vendors adding water to pg, or see any reason for them to do it, whereas it's very common with vg, so I guess you're fine...

I don't remember reading Kurt talking about ecx much, but I could be wrong though...
I haven't tried the cthulhu v2, but I like it's design and wanted to get it when it came out, but then began to drip instead so ditched it. Before that I was also a big lemo fan and used the v1 and v2 everyday + the subtank mini
Yeah, there is a difference in how efficient a device is for delivering nic, especially among the simpler devices compared to RTAs/RDAs, but also among the higher end devices too like between different rta's...
