Got my VT in today and tried it out to see how it compared with WL and NN.
(As an aside, the VT was shipped quickly and came well-packaged. Zero complaints on that end. I especially liked the style of the 240ml bottle – it has a press-down pour top rather than the usual screw cap. I always decant my larger nic quantities into 30 or 60 ml glass bottles for freezer storage, and the pour top made that process easier.)
I made a 6mg unflavored mix with each type of nic. 50/50 VG/PG, which is my usual ratio. After mixing I had a friend label each bottle with a letter so that I would not know which was which while tasting. To keep things as consistent as possible, I set up three drippers with the same build (dual coil at 0.5 ohms, Japanese cotton).
First was the smell test. I could not tell the difference between them based on smell. None had an appreciable smell.
Taste was another story. I had no problems picking out the WL nic on taste. It wasn’t a bad taste – the best I can describe it was that it was an “earthy” sort of a taste, if that makes any sense. Again, it was not an objectionable taste, but there was a taste. Even after several draws across the three mixes, WL was always easy to pick out.
I could not tell a difference between VT and NN. Vaped them back-to-back and the taste was identical – basically nothing. Slight sweetness, but no real discernable taste.
I haven’t tried VT with flavors as of yet, but so far, for my palette it’s a draw between VT and NN regarding taste (or lack thereof). I’ve been happy with NN, but it’s always good to know there’s another vendor out there that sells clean-tasting nic. Glad I found this thread!
