In the last passage , we have mentioned some ways to maximize the flavor, see the previous passage.

5 – Try Higher PG Juices

Most vapers develop a preference for the PG/VG ratio of their juices over time. Cloud-chasers tend to prefer high-VG juices, because they produce thicker vapour and bigger clouds. However, if you’re looking to maximize your flavor, high VG juices don’t quite cut it. The problem is that although VG is almost tasteless, it does have a slight touch of sweetness, and it doesn’t carry flavor as well as PG. That’s why concentrated flavorings come mixed in PG, not VG.

So choosing higher-PG juices will generally lead to better flavor. The downside is that PG produces throat hit, and choosing too high a ratio can easily make vaping too harsh on your throat. A 50/50 ratio is ideal for most vapers. This still offers great flavor, with excellent vapour production and a manageable throat hit. But you can push it to 60 or 70 percent PG if you want even better flavor.

6 – Below-Coil Airflow Boosts Flavor

As well as the amount of airflow, the position of the airflow holes is also important. The airflow holes on most atomizers open up at the side of your coil, and although this can work well, there is a better layout. When the airflow holes are underneath your coils, the direct path up to the mouthpiece improves the flavor. Many sub ohm tanks – like the AnyVape Fury – have this setup as standard, and it’s one of the reasons they can provide such great flavor.

The position of the airflow holes is an especially crucial consideration for flavor-chasers shopping for a dripping atomizer. Choose options with under-coil airflow holes over those with side airflow every time.

7 – Choose a Narrower-Bore Drip Tip

You might not think the drip tip you use influences the flavor you get, but it does. The trend with modern tanks and atomizers is towards larger-bore (i.e. wider) drip tips. This produces an airier vape and is good for cool vapour and cloud production. As with airflow settings, though, this isn’t ideal for flavor. If you get a tank or atomizer that comes with a wide-bore drip tip, try switching it for a narrower-bore one to boost your flavor.

There is some disagreement on this point, but in general – and based on first-hand testing – thinner drip tips do improve flavor. It won’t have as big an effect as your main airflow setting, but it does make a difference.

8 – Keep Your Wicks, Coils and Tanks Clean

You wouldn’t use a plate for a curry and then eat your dessert off it afterwards (or at least I hope you wouldn’t). If you care about flavor, you should carry this ethos over to your wicks. The simple fact is that fresh coils and clean wicks make for better flavor. The only problem with the plate analogy is that rinsing your wick or switching to a new coil after every change of flavor is a little excessive. But the core lesson is still valid: juices taste better from fresh wicks, coils and tanks.

So you don’t need to rinse your coil or change it after every flavor change, but after a day or two of use the taste will start to suffer. Occasionally rinsing pre-made atomizer heads extends their lifespan and improves the flavor. There’s a detailed section on this in our ultimate guide to clearomizers, but the basic approach is simple. Just disassemble your clearomizer, rinse the components in hot water and give them plenty of time to dry. Leaving your atomizer heads until the wicks are completely dry is important (24 hours is usually enough), so it’s a good idea to have another head to use while it’s drying.

If you use rebuildable atomizers, you can change your wick easily, so doing it with every change of flavor is more feasible. Remove the old wick, fire your coil (without a wick inserted) to dry it out, wait for it to cool and then insert the new wick.

9 – Fight Vaper’s Tongue

Your setup is only part of your flavor experience. You are the other part of the equation, and the biggest problem you may face is “vaper’s tongue.” Many different things can cause this, but it’s easiest to understand as a kind of “flavor fatigue.” The flavor of your juice seems to lose its punch after extended use, and you might even struggle to enjoy other similar-tasting juices too. There are many solutions to this problem, but the simplest is to change to a new flavor. You can also smell fresh coffee beans, drink water or even suck a lemon to reset your palate and beat vaper’s tongue.

10 – Look After Your E-Juice

Finally, your e-juice itself may be to blame. Correctly storing your e-liquid is important, because the flavorings can degrade with poor storage. Keep your juices away from heat and light, and minimise their exposure to open air to keep them in excellent condition. Some juices also benefit from “steeping.” This is like how wine ages with time and improves in flavor – allowing your juice to age can really bring out flavor notes. There are many approaches to steeping, but they all have two common elements.

Most steeping involves leaving the juice in a cool, dark place and occasionally shaking the bottle. The other major theme is letting your juice “breathe” (for short periods) by opening the cap. Steeping isn’t needed for every juice, though, and the results might not always be what you were expecting. However, if you want the best flavor, it’s something to try.
