Does Nicotine have a taste?

[2-cardis]

I am using 4mg of nicotine in Riskee juice and vanilla. The taste is good but pretty lite. I am wondering if the higher nicotine juices have a stronger taste to them?? Or is it just the juice I have chosen is lite in flavor.

Nicotine has more of a sting than it does a taste. You will definitely notice it using the higher strength e-liquids. I do feel it enhances the taste.

At those levels the Nicotine isn't really that evident. The sweetness of the flavors overrides it. Nicotine has a peppery flavor to me. (Remember the first Nicotine gum...blech). I can definitely taste the nicotine in the 16mg vs the 11mg.

I think sting is a good way to describe it.

When your tolerance is low, as it is first thing in the morning, the sting is more noticeable even with low levels of nicotine. Throughout the day as tolerance raises you need more to create the same effect. Allowing gaps between doses increases effect because you aren't constantly keeping tolerance high.

It's difficult to isolate the taste of nicotine in eliquid because of additives like pepper that are meant to create harshness.
