variable wattage and the flavor of your juice

[realsis]

Has any of you noticed what a huge difference different watts make with certain flavors. Today I was vaping a raspberry and I could barely stand the taste of it at a lower wattage. It was very perfume like and just not pleasant. So i turned up the watts to around 17.7 and it completely changed the flavor. It turned into a nicely sweetened pleasant fruity flavor. I've always changed my wattage according to my flavors but this was a extreme example. This juice simply does not taste good under a certain wattage.it is pretty amazing how changing your wattage can so drastically change the flavor of a juice!

Have to agree with this realsis. Flavor also changes with different devices and wicks. I make my own juices and I adjust for that depending on the setup I'll be vaping it in.

Thank you for replying. I make my own juice as well and this particular juice was such a drastic change when I adjusted the watts I thought I'd post about it. I thought others might have had similar experiences. I also agree with you about wicking. You can completely change a flavor depending on what materials you use. I have several different wicking media in my build box but I find myself using cotton more than anything. It just vapes so clean in my opinion. It's funny how many factors can effect the flavor of a juice.

This is one of the reasons I sub-ohm, the only difference is I build my coils to different resistances to change the wattage.

Might just be my juices and the heavy VG blends, but the flavor gets better the lower I go, at least to a certain point.

I have a couple of real picky juices. One from a local shop only taste good between 1-1.3 ohms at 13-15 watts anything higher it's burnt and lower it's perfume.

Others like Bobas, for me is great at 50-60watts any higher too hot for me any lower I start missing some of the tones. High VG.

Vapetrik juices I like at around 20-40 watts they're closer to 50/50 60/40 blends.

I was also talking to a neighbor who vapes as well last week, and we were talking about heat and flavor. I know some think sub-ohming is "too hot" to be enjoyable, but I'm the kind of person who can't eat cold pizza or pasta. My taste buds like things warm to hot. Not to say I can't taste anything when it's cold, I can, some things just pop more when they're warm and vape is one of those things- for me. Been like that as long as I can remember.

Vape temperature is not only dependent on wattage. IMO if you put enough airflow in an atty for the power and draw fast enough, it will stay a cool vape. OTOH, I've never gone above 50 watts, so I'm not sure if that holds true for higher.

This is true. I was just saying generally. Most people will use the standard 1-2-3 millimeter air holes or some equivalent. I've seen where some have .1 builds but the top cap has 6-12 holes to help airflow and the vape stays cool. But for most people they'll stick to what the rda was originally designed to do or slightly mod it by drilling holes larger etc.
