Levels of nic affect e-liquid taste?

[mallie233]

I started out with 26mg of nic and have since moved down to 24mg. this seems to suit me as a regular cigarette, but i hear all of these people talking about high being 16mg and i'm thinking, is that what i need? my juicy taste always goes away within 1-2-3 sometimes 4 puffs and im left with a gross-ish taste. i know it's not dry, my atty is not burnt, but it's just not as enjoyable as everyone says it is. so, my question is, do the e-liquids have a stronger (or just better) taste for longer periods with the lower nic content?

I have the same problem when I drip. I use the 510 which I really like but the atomizers heat up so fast I think it burns the liquid out faster IMHO. I have used 36, 24, 16, down to zero and it's the same thing with all of them. I even cut it with VG and still the same thing. Of course I won't complain, I'll just re-drip or top off if needed rather than ever go back to analogs.......

I don't know about others but I have found that I seem to get just a bit more enjoyment out of the E-cig when I use a flavor like spearmint or something despite the fact that I wasn't a menthol smoker when I smoked. I seem to get better enjoyment and satisfaction when I use that. I also get it with some other flavors as well like Mocha when I vape it at 6v. The spearmint or menthol really don't require the higher voltage to satisfy though.

I wondered the same thing, so I ordered some 18 mg coffee juice from a vendor along with a bottle of 6mg. I tried them both and noticed NO difference in taste. I'm not saying this is the norm for all juices, but my little test showed no difference.

Thanks for your responses guys. I really enjoy the fruity flavors! I have figured out that if i poke the wick down into my atty a little deeper it seems to taste much better for longer. A bit harder to hit, but with the strengths that i use i think thats a good moderator for me! Thanks for your study info jeff, i am getting a wonderful throat hit off of it and am not ready to step it down yet, you saved me some from frustration and disappointment!

Oh and Happy one month anniversary e-cigs! May we have many more
