You might, but don't be disappointed if you don't. That's just one small step down, 6 mg to 3 mg.

Nicotine has a pepperiness taste without any flavoring added. The more the nicotine concentration, the more peppery it tastes (and the more throat hit you get). Dropping the nic concentration will decrease the pepperiness and allow the flavoring of the e-liquid to shine through.

Over the last few years, I've dropped from 18 mg down to 3 mg. I can't say that I notice the flavors more with 3 mg compared to 6 mg., but the 3 mg is "smoother" and less harsh than the 6 mg. I'm at the point where throat hit is not a priority when I vape. I probably could vape zero-nic, but I still like a "little bit of nic".

Can anyone tell me is flavour of liquid better or stronger the less nicotine that's in it. ? On a 6mg at moment want to drop to 3mg. Wondered if I would notice any difference in flavour.
Depends if your lung hitting or MTL but the flavor won't really change much, you will just get less throat hit..

Bad beat me too it ;)

For me my Nicotine is flavorless and I do not notice any difference in any nicotine level I mix with DIY (NicSelect). If a store bought liquid tastes peppery I will never buy it ever again but taste is subjective so your results may vary.
When i first started to DIY i got my nic from ECX.I noticed it had a peppery taste and thought this was normal.Since then i have ordered from Nude nicotine and lately RTS and there is no peppery taste at all.

Cutting nic level in half doesn't make a huge difference imo. To me, vg content makes a bigger difference on throat hit and taste.

I agree on peppery liquids. I hate that peppery taste even in tobacco liquids. I think it depends where you get your nic. I hear a lot of people say nic liquid has a peppery flavor or scent. All the 100mg/ml nic that I have doesn't have that at all. It has a very faint nutty or peanut smell to it. If you keep it in a plastic bottle it will smell a little different too.
