Some thoughts about flavour

[jayy517]

So I have read a few times about testing juice on different atomisers but have never really bothered.

I have recently steeped a new batch of juice. I'll use one flavour for example. A few weeks ago I mixed up some 'forest fruits' from flavourart. Lovely juice! I noted that 20% was the sweet spot and enjoyed it for a week or so before it ran out. I had recently got a Mutation X which I had been using for said week or so.

Forward to earlier this week. I ordered some more forest fruits, mixed it up at 20% and put it away to steep for a few days. Grabbed it out if the cupboard, dripped into my plumeveil (this weeks atty of choice), fired it up and - WOAH!!! - far to much flavour! I nearly choked on it! I'm currently systematically diluting it, trying to find a new sweet spot; but today I thought I'd get back to that Mutation X. Suddenly it's almost not strong enough!

I'm sure this is nothing new to most! It's obvious when I think about it. I just thought I'd make a post here, mainly for those who, like me, are fairly new to mixing. I knew different attys give different levels of flavour but I didn't know quite how extreme it could be!

Take away point... mix in an atty that can represent the flavour properly. Since getting that Mutation X I've wondered why people say it's not so good for flavour. Now I know why I thought that... I was compensating for its lack of flavour production but mixing to high!

EDIT: P.S. I wondered why the suggested percentages for flavourart are all so much lower than I use! Haha!

For the same reasons that folks wash dry burn, wash dry burn, a million times before changing their coils, Vapers are, traditionally, tight wads.

Of course, your coil build, how much power (watts or volts) and how much air is mixed with the vapour (air flow) also alters flavours somewhat.

The quantity of air on a mutation will seriously mute the flavour of most juice though I haven't got one so can't really comment. I do know that on my mephisto if I open the airflow up I get huge clouds but the flavour lessens considerably. Less air+smaller chamber gives more flavour. I do have to say though that the mephisto, single parallel coil @ 1ohm blows my plume into next week with both flavour and clouds (note that I use a VV/VW device so going low ohms is a little pointless as I just up the wattage )
