Do you adjust flavors when making higher nicotine juice?

Ok, so I know the recipes I like. (or in most cases like to attempt anyway lol) But I make everything for me and the wife in 3mg.

We have a friend who wants to stop smoking and start vaping but is on a budget. So I'd like to make him some juice. My question is this: If you have a recipe you like at 3mg, but want it in say an 18 or 24, do you make it with the same flavor percentages? Or do they need to adjust to compensate for the nicotine. I use high grade nicotine that's supposed to be tasteless. Although I can't "taste" it, I definitely know if it's higher. Vaped some 12 a few months back thinking no big deal I used to vape 12 all the time. I about gagged...just couldn't do it. So taste or not, you can tell higher nicotine when you're not used to it.

So hopefully it's not a silly question, but if I'm going to try to make some juice for him yet not be able to vape it I don't know if I need to take recipes that I have that work great in 3mg and just adjust the nicotine, or if the flavor percentages need to be a tad higher to compensate. Hopefully what I'm trying to ask makes sense.

For brand new ex smokers I do make the percentages a little higher, but not because of the nicotine. a) their taste buds are generally not as keen as someone who hasn't smoked for a while, and b) their equipment is often beginner equipment that doesn't bring out flavors as much as some more advanced equipment.

I usually sit them down in my kitchen and let them do taste tests to see how much they can taste

All good info. And I didn't realize that about only maybe needing 12mg in tanks. Makes a lot of sense though. It's funny how you know what you like but lose track of what is there for new vapors. Thanks all

I've been vaping for 2 years now - I make everything I'm gonna vape during the day at 18mg, everything for evening at 12mg. I started at 24mg for all day and have made no changes to any recipes except for the amt of nic.

Excellent info, just what I was wanting to know. Thank you to all.
