Whether you are an experienced e-cigarette user or a novice, you will be faced with a wide variety of e-liquid flavors on the market. No matter what your personal preference is, there is always a flavor that suits you.
When you finally find a flavor you like and get used to it, you may sometimes notice that it doesn’t taste or work as well as it did before. It’s not that your taste buds are playing tricks on you—the change can range from subtle to significant, making the overall experience less than satisfying.
There are many reasons why this may happen, and it’s usually related to some flaw in the device or the e-liquid. If this happens to you, making a few adjustments will help you get the best flavor out of your e-liquid.
Read on for some tips on making your vaping taste smoother and richer.
Adjust temperature and power settings
When using an open cartridge system, users can adjust the power or temperature of the device. Since you can customize your smoking experience, you will want to try different e-liquid flavors at different settings.
This is because the flavor compounds in the e-liquid evaporate at different temperatures, so the "best" setting depends on the compounds that the specific e-liquid contains. For example, some e-liquids taste best at 35 watts, while others may reach their best flavor at 50 watts.
Taking the time to test how each flavor performs at different temperatures will help you get a better experience. After all, no one wants to smoke bland, tasteless e-liquid. However, the process can be a bit boring.
A closed cartridge system like the RELX offers a much simpler experience, with no power or temperature adjustments required. Simply insert the cartridge and the device works at its best to deliver rich flavor all day long.
Choose coils and e-liquid tanks carefully
Regularly replacing coils and e-liquid tanks is key to maintaining device performance. By replacing new coils and e-liquid tanks, modders can maximize the flavor. If you notice that the flavor is becoming weak or has a burnt smell, it may be time to replace it.
But before you make the switch, you need to understand how to choose the right accessories for your device. Choosing the right coil and tank can improve flavor and vapor output, while choosing incompatible accessories can lead to shorter battery life, poor performance, or even more serious problems like short circuits.
Researching which accessories will work best with your device and considering aesthetic design can enhance the overall experience. If you find this process cumbersome, consider a closed cartridge system. For example, RELX, you can get elegant design, rich flavors, and smooth performance by simply replacing a new cartridge.
Understanding the Impact of Wick and Coil Materials
Wick materials are usually cotton or ceramic. Cotton wicks are known for extracting pure flavor, while ceramic wicks are more durable while providing a better quality flavor.
As for coils, the options are more diverse, including Kanthal, stainless steel, nickel, and titanium, among others.
Kanthal and nickel perform well, while titanium and stainless steel may impart a slightly metallic taste to the vapor. While the difference may not be noticeable, the coil may also be the reason why the e-liquid does not taste as expected.
Find the configuration that works for you by testing the device on different materials.
If you think this process is too complicated, you can consider using a closed cartridge system, such as RELX. The materials and configurations of this type of device are pre-set, and users only need to replace the cartridge to enjoy it.
Check the VG:PG ratio
Choose the right VG:PG ratio to enhance your vaping experience
If you are a long-time e-cigarette user, you may have developed a preference for a specific VG:PG ratio. If you are a new user, it’s okay if you don’t know the VG:PG ratio yet.
Simply put, the formulation of e-liquid includes flavor compounds and the ratio of vegetable glycerin (VG) to propylene glycol (PG).
Vegetable glycerin (VG) is a natural chemical that comes from plant oils and has a slightly sweet taste and is used to increase the amount of vapor, while propylene glycol (PG) is responsible for carrying the flavor and nicotine in the e-liquid.
The VG:PG ratio of each e-liquid is different, so you need to consider choosing the ratio that matches your device when purchasing.
I recommend starting with a 50:50 VG:PG ratio, then experimenting with other ratios based on your preferences until you find a formula that works for you.
Choose a simple device
Open cartridge users often face problems such as trial failure, burnt or metallic taste, and the process can be exhausting. If you are tired of it, or you are a beginner who wants a simpler device, a closed cartridge system such as the RELX Infinity may be more suitable for you.
Equipped with cutting-edge features such as the patented leak-proof labyrinth system, these products offer an intuitive user experience and a wide range of flavors. Simply charge and insert a new cartridge to enjoy an ultra-smooth experience anytime.
