Ok… This will take a bit of digging (and time) into my notes at the other spot, because that’s the only place I kept them (like a dumbass). I should have written them in my notebook, but for a while, I was in the habit of just keying things in on my phone as I vaped (tested)…
I should also clarify that there’s a resounding NO, not all flavors exhibit this effect!! But I have seen it happen on more than a handful (or two) of instances.
I’m pretty sure that I need to look at Raspberry for one, possibly Boysenberry, and several others (of course). [I’m primarily putting these down for my own mental reminder]
I can understand that… To me though, given the differences in atties (chamber size, air pathing/turbulence, how choked off the wick-feeds might be, coil size limitations, etc etc) I do believe that the reason you see some atties discussed as delivering “great flavor” is directly relevant to what I’ve mentioned in parenthesis.
I have run temps up and down (as well as power) on many occasions, and with some mixes… I have been able to find different flavors being dominant/prominent/what have you, at different ranges in the same atty (my theorems).
It’s also possibly worth noting that this was most frequently seen (or, a learned experience) when I was testing mixes as they were maturing (3 days, 7 days, 2 weeks, etc). So I think that’s a potentially important thing to note.
That’s solely in regard to “highlights” though.
With respect to certain flavors needing certain power to bloom (or be “more noticeable”), that’s related, but a different kettle of fish.
Some would give a burned taste if you exceeded a certain power (my brown sugar tests come to mind). Some were just kind of “It’s kind of there, but it’s substantially lacking”, until I ran the power up past my normal point (roughly 30-40w typically). Once I did, then it was like “oh. WOW. There it is!” The realization of certain flavors needing certain power levels was both eye-opening, as well as frustrating (immediately, as well as what it meant for the future of how I felt I needed to test).
With that said, it’s not as prevalent as I initially feared (Thank God), BUT it’s still something that I try (frequently) when I have a flavor that doesn’t quite behave as expected OR when I’m delving into a new brand!
FlavourArt is definitely one where I’ve seen a flavor or two that seem to prefer “higher power” (relevantly speaking of course). To me that means anything above about 42-45w (as that’s bordering what I deem as being “medium power”).
BTW, I’m pissing MYSELF off at how much I’m trying to cover (or feel I’m having to avoid miscommunicating), so I know where some of you reading are… LMAO
Anyways, sorry for the novel. But there’s just SO damned much that ties in together IMO, that it’s hard NOT TO cover certain aspects. =/
Sorry you asked yet Phil?
