Vaping a Sour-Flavored Vape Juice in a Box Mod vs Pod System

 

If you’re a diehard fan of sour flavors that are so intense, they make your mouth pucker, you know that today’s vaping industry offers a massive selection of splendidly tart e-liquids.  Now, if you’ve been using a box mod device for a while, you probably know exactly which sour flavors tickle your fancy the most, as well as how to adjust your settings to really bring out that sublime tartness.  But, if you’ve recently switched to a pod system, you might have found that you can’t get that same sour kick that you crave.

So, what is it about sour flavors that varies so much depending on the type of vaping system that you’re using?  We’ll be explaining the reasons why that change may have occurred so that you can adjust your setup in order to savor more sourness.

It’s Not the Nicotine

First, let’s make one thing clear: Salt-based nicotine and freebase nicotine are both flavorless as well as odorless.  That means that it’s not the nicotine itself that’s causing the change in flavor.  Neither of these ingredients are capable of changing how your e-juice tastes, so don’t worry that you have to give up that wonderful salt nic experience because your vape juice just isn’t satisfying your sour cravings any longer.

Things That Will Affect the Taste of Your Sour E-Liquid Based on Whether You’re Using a Box Mod or Pod System

These factors are what can affect the juice’s taste:

Wattage Level

One thing to consider is the wattage level.  As we’re sure you know already, sub-ohm box mod systems operate at very high wattage levels.  And, that wattage level can definitely impact the taste of your vape juice.  You see, high wattage levels promote a different kind of vaping experience altogether.  With sub-ohm setups, you’re having a direct-lung vaping session.  This means that each hit is sucked into the lungs quickly.

Meanwhile, pod systems are low-wattage devices.  Therefore, they operate as mouth-to-lung systems.  With mouth-to-lung vaping, you’re sucking the vapor into your mouth before pulling it into your lungs.  This allows that sour flavor to sit for a longer period of time on your palate, which means that you’ll experience the flavor in a different way. 

Coil

The coil also has an effect on your flavor.  The coil determines how hot your e-liquid gets, and different temperatures bring out different flavor notes.  Pod systems use coils that have much higher resistance levels than the coils that are compatible with sub-ohm systems.

Temperature Control

Temperature control pod mods are becoming more and more popular, and these devices allow you to adjust your flavor experience with more precision.  Like we said, different temperatures bring out different flavor notes of your vape juice, so you might just need to play around with the temperature in order to get the flavor profile that you want.

Open vs. Closed Pod System

If you’re using a closed pod system, you might find that the sour flavor is a bit weaker.  This is primarily because of the fact that closed pod systems utilize pre-filled coils, which means that the juice has been sitting on that coil for a long period of time.  This can alter the way in which your e-juice tastes. 

Enjoy Those Mouth-Puckering Vape Juices the Right Way!

While the type of nicotine that you use doesn’t affect the sourness of your e-juice flavor, many other factors can.  The type of device you’re using and even the coil can impact the intensity of that sourness.  So, use this guide to troubleshoot the issue so that you can once again enjoy those mouth-puckering tastes.
