We cross-posted. (Sorry!)It's the actual taste I don't like. None of the flavors I've tried have been particularly harsh. I believe most I've tried use an 80/20 VG/PG (or vice versa) mix. Maybe my taste buds are still "dead" and just need more time to recuperate from the years of analogs?!
So, maybe not 'harsh' enough? This could indeed be helped by upping the nic level.
No, your taste buds aren't quite dead yet, BB! If they were, none of us would have made the transition quite as successfully.
I went from mostly VG (at 36 nic) to 50/50 VG/PG, now it's 80% PG 20% VG, with this week going down a level on the nic.
