Do the various nic strengths change flavor?

[tmcase]

I've been vaping 24mg from day 1 and was wondering if using a lower nicotine strength changes the flavor at all.

 

[WomanOfHeart]

It does, actually. Higher nic levels can have a sort of peppery taste to them which decreases as the level decreases. I noticed it immediately when I started vaping both 24 and 18mg.

So the lower the nic the better the flavor? I don't think I'm tasting pepper but most of the juice I buy don't seem to have much flavor so maybe it's the nic level I'm vaping. Is that what you are saying?

Tagging along!

When I dropped from 24 to 18 I noticed a distinct flavour increase in sweet vapes, and a slight increase in the tobaccos.

Ms. Tmcase as stated by many others, as the nicotine goes down flavor goes up. Certain flavors have a huge jump in taste from one strength to the next, others you have to go way down to notice the difference.

When I'm mixing juice at 24mg, I increase the amount of flavorings I use by one or two percent to compensate. This also helps when throwing together 50/50 mixes.

A buddy let me try Tennesee Cured 0mg and it was great so I got some but in 24mg and it's still good but nowhere near as good as the 0mg.

Ok then, everyone is in agreement. I'll try a lower nic next time I order. Thanks everyone.

Higher nicotine levels make juice taste like the dirty nic that's in the juice. Get a juice with pure nic and there is not a noticeable difference in taste due to nicotine level.

I've been using Dekang for almost two years now and haven't noticed any change in flavor, going from 24 to 18 then 12. Then again I've been using tobacco flavors, never cared much for the others.

I haven't noticed any flavor difference between 6mg & 18mg Dekang USA Mix either. TastyVapor stated in their FAQ that higher nic diminishes their "tobacco" flavor.

tmcase, saw in your profile...another programmer, me too. Greetings program! And I almost moved to Port Townsend too, heard it was the only sunny part of western WA.

Greetings JustaGuy. Yes, we get less rain than most of W. WA. The Olympic Mts blocks the rain.

Thanks for you input in my thread.

I understand, I think. My reg vape is Dekang camel at 36mg. The strong nic flavor, as well as any burned taste have helped be aquire a taste for the juice so I crave the juice as much as a real cig. Your "then again" qualification is at the heart of the issue. The same does not apply to coffee/fruit flavors, where the purest nic availabe is a necessity, IMHO even at 24 mg.

Try Dekang cherry at 18mg and at 36 mg, then tell me what you think.
