Does higher voltage necessarily mean less flavor?

[darkmoondreamer]

Good morning! I have been using a kind friend's 901 this week while waiting to receive my Screwdriver. I've been getting an awesome flavorful vape using RY4 in the standard 901, but was a little disappointed today when I fired it up in my new Screwdriver (mini, using RN4075 atty and cart) and got great throat hit and a harsher vapor, but the great taste is gone, just tastes harsh and "tobacco-y".

Is this a normal occurance with a higher voltage mod to exchange some flavor for power? Thanks

Howdo,

The SD isn't a higher voltage mod, OK so depending on the state of your friends 901 they're might be a bit of difference in voltages but I wouldn't of thought it'd make an appreciable difference.

Can't say I noticed a change when I switched from 901 to an SD.
Are you using the supplied atties ? did you get shot of the primer fluid in them if you did as this might colour your experience?

Hey Mr. Longbeard I was using her 901 batteries with my RN4075 attys and carts. I don't know much about e-cigs admittedly, but I thought the 3.75 v SD was more powerful than a standard 901 battery. I blew out all primer fluid and reprimed with RY4 before using

My SD provides excellent flavor. As MrLongbeard noted, at 3.7, the SD isn't really a high-powered vape. It's typically the mods above that where folks start reporting some loss in flavor.

Maybe your atomizer . . . maybe the liquid you're using in the cart . . . maybe you're holding your button down for a longer period of time and perhaps "cooking" the liquid a bit too much.

I vape at 6 volts with my gg, I get great flavor, and throat hit. Chances are if you like your juice in a 901, you'll like it in any device.

Thank you all for your suggestions! I'll try it again after re-cleaning and see how it does for me.

I use an SD. The RN4075 burns hotter and gives a harsher throat hit. The 901 atty is slightly cooler and gives more flavour. Both can be used on the SD.

I'd say "usually" higher voltage means a perceived loss of flavor, and I'd guess because of the really warm vapor. However, I can think of two huge exceptions to this: BE112(bestecig's penstyle) at 5V, and RN4081's at six volts. It seems like the opposite happens. Flavor just explodes. Not sure why but I'm sure someone can tell me.

I've never gone above 5v, so I can't comment, but I do switch between stock batteries and my homemde mods using the same atomizers. I usually have to adjust my juice recipie slightly to get the same taste from each.

Wow...this is the second post I have seen mentioning the Best BE112 attys working great on a 5 volt PV....I may need to upgrade my Mod to give this a try! Thanks Zofryer!The Wiz!

Beware this may be habit forming. After you try it you can't go back.I love it.

some of my flavors taste horrible at a higher voltage , for some reason both black tea and licorice taste terrible at a higher voltage , while other flavors like flu cured taste AMAZING.
