Can you taste nicotine in your ejuice???

[Mdisco57]

I was a pack-a-day smoker for many years- so you would think I would require a high nicotine content in my juice! Nada!!! I use 12 and sometimes 6mg comfortably. If I use anything higher I swear I can taste nicotine instead of the wonderful flavors of the ejuice! Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? What has been your experience??

I experience the same thing. I'm using 12mg and 8mg because if I go higher, then I taste nothing but nicotine. I have even tried some of the other brands that offer extra shots, but I still taste it.

I guess some of us are more sensitive than others! I just can't understand how some ppl use high strengths--I'd be sick as a dog!

I don't necessarily "taste" the nic, more like sense, or feel it. Comes across to me as a dry, peppery sensation.

Yes I also taste the difference with the higher nicotine level. I normally vape 12mg and occasionally 18mg for those "stressful" times. The 18mg juice has a slightly bitter taste that I'm sure comes from the nicotine.

Exactly. Very similar to the taste/feel of Nicorette, but not as easily perceived when smoking a cigarette (because manufacturers do something to the tobacco to mask it, it is said). To me, it has become part of the pleasure of vaping and probably why I stick to medium-high mg levels (18-24).

I had been vaping 12mg almost exclusively since starting to vape. I recently went up to 15mg and noticed a slight but comforting difference. Just the other day I bought a 18mg juice and WOW can I taste the Nicotine in it! I am going to have to stick with the 15mg for most of my juices. 18mg just seems a bit much for me.

I use 18mg but had to get 24mg when my juice was sold out (it was the only available and couldn't wait any longer) I don't think I could taste the nic but did notice it wasn't as flavorful as I was use to.

I started with 12mg and then tried some 18mg Tribeca and really noticed a difference. Border line head rush. I have just started weaning myself back down to 12mg and don't really notice that much of a difference in taste. In fact I had previously gone through 3 30ml bottles of Tribeca in 18mg and am currently vaping my first 12mg from an order received today and not much difference, Maybe even a little smoother.

I started with 24 cartos, but now I vape 12 or less, usually 6 or 0.

I use 16mg - 18mg and do not taste the nicotine. I've tried 24mg and still didnt taste the nicotine but wow the throat hit was huge.
