Different flavor compounds vaporize best at different temperatures. Here's a general guide to where common flavor categories shine:
| Flavor Type | Best Wattage (Pod) | Best Wattage (Sub-Ohm) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fruit | 15–20W | 45–65W | Higher wattage brings out brightness and sweetness |
| Mint / Menthol | 12–18W | 40–60W | Cooler temperatures preserve mint crispness; too much heat = harsh |
| Tobacco | 10–16W | 35–50W | Lower wattage = smoother, more authentic tobacco notes |
| Dessert / Bakery | 14–20W | 50–70W | Needs heat to bring out creamy, baked notes; watch for burnt sugar taste |
| Candy / Sour | 16–22W | 55–75W | Higher heat amplifies sweet/sour intensity; coil dies faster |
| Citrus | 13–18W | 40–55W | Delicate — too much heat makes citrus taste bitter or soapy |
