Does nicotine change flavor?

[KODIAK (TM)]

I know this has been asked but I never paid attention to the answers.

I got a free zero nic sample from a supplier. It was wonderful. I then ordered it with a 24mg nicotine level (2.4%) and it didn't taste quite the same. Tried again with 18mg nic levels and still, not the same as that zero nicotine sampler. This is a reputable supplier where I currently get my ADV from and it's pretty consistent with each order. All my juices steep for 3-4 weeks.

Damndest thing.

Different people are sensitive to different tastes. My impression is that higher nicotine makes things just a bit "tangier" (not exact description, but it changes the mouthfeel to a mouth tang degree). Why not just get some of the wonderful juice in zero nic, and keep higher nic things that you like at arm's reach for cravings?

If I could vape zero nic I'd just stop vaping altogether and apply the savings to a better quality of beer.

And honestly, I really never "crave" a certain flavor... It's the nicotine I want and more or less tolerate the taste of the e-juice that delivers that chemical. Some are more palatable than others.
