How to Get Used to a New E-Liquid Flavor
Posted by
onNot all of us are extremely adventurous and open-minded when it comes to what our e-liquids vape like, be it freebase or salt-based nicotine. But, at some point or another, many of us find the need to switch to a new flavor. Either our favorite go-to is discontinued, or the flavor just isn’t hitting the spot like it once did. However, there is hope yet.
Tips and Tricks to Getting Use to a New E-Liquid Flavor
If you have a hard time adjusting to that new flavor, then allow us to help. We have some tips for switching to a new flavor so that you can get used to it as quickly as possible.
Tip #1: Wean Yourself Off of the Old Flavor
The first thing you should do is wean yourself off of the old flavor and adjust slowly to the new one. One great way to do this is to own two tanks or cartridges, with the older flavor in one and the new one in the other. This way, you can start with just a few puffs of the new one per day, and gradually tweak the balance between the two until you’ve successfully switched over.
Tip #2: Slowly Adjust from Salt Nic to Freebase, or Vice Versa
If your new flavor involves a change in nicotine type as well, then you’ll want to be mindful of this when making the switch. If you have two separate vaping systems, as in, a pod mod for the salt nic flavor and a box mod for the freebase nic flavor, then you can do the same method above with only having a little bit of the old e-liquid and gradually weaning yourself off this way.
Tip #3: Also Adjust Slowly When Changing Devices
If you’re using an entirely new device, be mindful that the vape juice flavor will likely be somewhat different than it would have been with the old device. Different devices may bring out certain subtleties of an e-juice flavor based on the output levels, the coil they use and other factors. Again, make a gradual adjustment, a little at a time, until you’re mostly using the new flavor. Then, once you’re used to the new flavor, you can completely abandon the old one.
Tip #4: Consider Using a Flavor Additive
If switching vape juice flavors is something that you’re really struggling with, consider throwing in a flavor additive that has remnants of the old flavor you’re used to, at least temporarily. Flavor additives provide a concentrated flavor boost to any e-liquid, and thus, are easy to add to an existing vape juice. For instance, let’s say you were vaping a berry menthol flavor, and now you’re switching to a tropical fruit blend. You can, for example, add some menthol to the tropical fruit blend so that you’re still getting something similar to your last flavor.
Final E-Liquid Flavor Adjusting Thoughts
Switching to a new e-liquid flavor isn’t easy for everyone, but the good news is that if you go slowly, you can allow your taste buds to get used to the adjustment in a way that’s not as jarring to them. Use the tips above to make the process a smooth one, so that you can continue getting as much satisfaction out of vaping as possible.
