does nic level affect the taste?

I fell in love with MBV's Cinnamon Roll, but after it steeped it lost all the tastiness. I can't stand vaping it now. Tried it in a few different clearo's with new heads, etc. My wife has it at 0mg (mine is 18) and hers still tastes as good as day 1. I can only assume nicotine ruins it after a while.

One thing you need to be careful of is attributing generalizations to all things vaping based off of one vendor, liquid, juice delivery system, hardware, etc. I don't know if when you say, "I can only assume nicotine ruins it after a while," that you are referring to liquid in general, but I can promise you that nicotine does n.o.t ruin liquid, even after years of sitting (of course in good conditions). If anything, what may be the culprit is a poor mixing job from jump-street.

Point well taken. I was referring specifically to this particular e-juice, not all of them. All of my other juices improved after a week or two+, but this one got progressively worse. It was purchased at the same time as my wife's 0mg, so I guess it's possible mine was mixed poorly even though they were made the same day. The odd thing is that it tasted exactly like a cinnamon roll when I got it, and the longer I had it, the less that was the case.

It could be a one time deal. My reason for posting initially was that a lot of new vapers only read on-the-fly and then see something and run with it. Next thing you know---nicotine ruins eliquid. LOL

Nic does change the flavor. It changes the throat hit also. The more the nicotine the harsher the hit. If you mix your juice with no nic it will be like breathing flavored air. I never add sweeteners or sours. The only thing they do is detract from the flavor and kill your coil. IMO. Quality nicotine is very important I would only buy my nic from one of two places because they are USP and the is ktorisecigs.com and wizardlabs.us. I generally go with ktorisecigs because the pg and vg is much cheaper and the nic is always in stock.

I understand from reading the Nicotine Comparison's thread that some brands if Nic have no taste while others have a slight peppery taste. Nicotine from My Freedom Smokes comes to mind in that regard. And perhaps because of that peppery taste, their nicotine has the best throat hit.
