Does higher nic change the flavor?

[Erin16773]

Hi all,
My friend was over at my house yesterday and she tried my cappuccino smooth and really liked the flavor, but she uses a higher nic than I do, I use 18 mg and she uses 30 mg so my question is, she wants to order the cappuchino smooth in the 30 mg will it taste the same as mine or will changing the nic strenghth change the flavor? TIA

Anybody know the answer to this???

I am not sure, I would say it would taste the same. I read some where that nicotine is tasteless. It used to be used as a murder weapons in old mystery novels because of this. But I checked before posting and got two different answers, one said it was tasteless and another said it is very bitter. I would still say even if there is a difference in flavor between the 18 mg and 30 mg it would be very slight. Only way to know is get a sample size of the 30mg let it Steep and vape it to see.

I swear I have heard that sometimes nic level can enhance the flavor but these seem close enough that there shouldnt be much of a difference.

I DIY all my juices. IMO I have found very little difference in flavor based solely on nic content. The biggest changes in flavors are noticed when tweaking the pg/vg ratio. PG transmits flavors better than VG and I typically use an 80pg/20vg mix. When that ratio is changed and I use more VG (for a thicker sauce) I need more flavoring.

I started with 18 mg and now mostly use 6 mg and I find no difference in the taste based upon the nic level in my juice.

Thanks for the help everyone

Do you think we should order extra flavor when VG is higher than ... say 50%

I have a few flavors in two different nicotine levels (6 mg and 12 mg). The flavor is more pronounced in the 6 mg for hopscotch, RY4 and RY5. But, for some reason, the peach tastes the same.

I haven't noticed a difference in flavor in regards to nic level. From my experience, the main difference in nic level is the TH.

I don't notice a change in flavor. I do notice that, at higher nic levels, the flavor will be interfered with sooner by the burny/tingly nic sensation. That is to say, at 18mg, I can vape about 8-9 times in a row before I start to "taste" nicotine. At 24mg, I can only vape about 3-4 times before I have to take a break. Unless I'm drinking - then all bets are off.

I started by vaping 0 nic. I could easily tell the juices that had nic by taste. By body/brain doesn't noticeably react to nicotine and had stopped years before I quit smoking. When I began I was buying juice all over the place.

When I started ordering from FSUSA, I began ordering everything from 0 to 36 mg of nic. If I didn't look at the bottle, I wouldn't be able to tell which had how much or any. That wasn't the case with the other vendors I started out using.

I do recall a thread regarding this when I began. I think the more or less general consensus at the time "in that thread" was that nic affects taste at 24 mgs and higher. But these posters were also buying juice all over the place as well as DIYing.

Maybe it has something to do with the quality/flavors of the particular juice?

Nic has a peppery taste to me. I think that it would change the flavor somewhat. But that is just my opinion.

Have you noticed a particular mg level that you begin to taste it, Salem?

To me it starts at 24mg.

I taste it at 18 and 24 mgs. But I have also vaped plain nic with PG and that is how I figured out the peppery taste. I don't taste it as much after my juice steeps for awhile though. I have a friend that vapes at 12 and 18 mgs and she thinks that it has a peppery taste also. The VG has a sweet taste so it offsets the nic taste somewhat IMO.

i dont think nicotine has a taste to it its self but having tried many flavors at different levels i feel the nicotine makes the flavor its self taste less smooth.

 

[salemgold]

The best way to see what the nic taste like is to get a small bottle of it in whatever strength that you currently vape and try it with no flavoring at all.
I have plain nic and it smells exactly like it tastes.

That will also work for something I've personally been pondering. It feels like the vapor is fuller with nic. That's the only advantage I personally get from vaping juice with nic. I'm going to try your experiment to see if I "feel" the difference. I'm also wondering if it's that my lungs respond different to nic since it's had it most of my life.
