If you’ve ever noticed that while you are using your pod
system, the flavor suddenly changes, you’re not going
crazy. In fact, it’s fairly common for a
salt-based nicotine e-juice flavor
to suddenly change in the middle of a vaping session. There are actually many reasons why this may
happen, and, fortunately, there are just as many ways that you can fix it.
Reasons Why Your Salt Nic Vape Juice’s Flavor May Suddenly Change
sudden changes in flavor can happen when you’re vaping
a salt nic e-liquid. And as you will
see, there are lots of factors that can contribute to this occurrence.
Here, we will be breaking down the main reasons why a
sudden flavor change can occur, while also covering what you can do about it in
order to continue enjoying that sensational e-liquid.
Reason #1: E-Juice Has Separated in the Bottle
One of the most common reasons why flavor can suddenly
change is because of separation of ingredients in the bottle. As you know, vape juice is composed of many ingredients. Each ingredient has its own density. In fact, each individual flavoring ingredient
has its own unique density. This means
that separation can occur if a vape juice sits still for too long.
When separation happens, some flavors will sink to the
bottom of the bottle while others float to the top, and some linger in the
middle. Now, when you pour a separated
e-liquid into your cartridge, you will get different layers of flavor
throughout your vaping experience.
How to Fix the Problem
The good news is that this is a very easy fix. All that you have to do is make a point to
shake your e-liquid bottle gently before pouring the vape juice into your
cartridge. And, remember that separation
can happen when e-liquid has been sitting in your cartridge for too long as
well, so shake your pod system gently once each day if it takes you longer than
a day to go through a full cartridge of e-liquid.
Reason #2: E-Juice Has Over-Oxidized
Another thing that can happen is
over-oxidization. This occurs most often
when an e-liquid is exposed to high heat or extremely bright light, or
both. For instance, if you leave your
cartridge outside on a hot, sunny day, it can over-oxidize.
What happens when vape juice over-oxidizes is certain
molecules evaporate, meaning that you will end up with a different flavor.
How to Fix the Problem
In this case, it’s all about preventing
over-oxidization from taking place, as once it has occurred, there’s no going
back. Always store your e-liquid bottles
in a cool, dark place, and do this with your vaping setup when it’s not in use
as well. This will help preserve the
composition of the flavor molecules in your vape juice.
Reason #3: You Have Vaper’s Tongue
Vaper’s tongue is a relatively common occurrence that
happens when you vape too frequently, or simply vape a very complex flavor
profile. Basically, it’s what happens
when your taste buds become exhausted due to sensory overload. When vaper’s tongue happens, you’ll likely
not be able to taste your e-liquid at all.
How to Fix the Problem
When vaper’s tongue hits, take a break from
vaping. Wait a few hours before resuming
your session, and then you can decide whether or not vaper’s tongue was the
culprit behind that sudden flavor change.
Also, make sure that you don’t chain-vape, and you may want to consider
going for simpler flavors.
Reason #4: You Didn’t Clean Your Cartridge Before Adding a New Flavor
The last problem, which is very common, is not
cleaning out your cartridge between switching flavors. Each time you add a new
flavor to your cartridge, you should thoroughly wash your cartridge out
first. Otherwise, you may taste residue
from the last flavor during your vaping session.
How to Fix the Problem
The next time you plan on pouring a new flavor into
your cartridge, carefully rinse out the cartridge first. Then, you can simply add the new e-liquid.
