	The author finds unflavoured, sweetened eliquid to be acceptable and it leaves no residual smell, other than faint cotton candy, that dissipates in minutes. The percentage of PG can be increased, to provide an even more stealthy experience, with less exhaled vapour. Going the other way and increasing the VG content will increase the density and thickness of exhaled vapour.		The author finds unflavoured, sweetened eliquid to be acceptable and it leaves no residual smell, other than faint cotton candy, that dissipates in minutes. However prefers fruit flavours given the option, and personal taste is very subjective, this may be the reason the market for so many flavours developed. Please see: [[ENDS Flavors]] for information on the subject.

	Nicotine strength is highly individual and will depend on how much you smoke, the recommended strength of eliquid is as follows. These recommendations are just a starting point, and assume an average starter kit. You will need to experiment to find your own 'sweet spot' generally if you find yourself 'chain vaping' or still craving a cigarette, then you need to increase the nicotine. If you find the inhalation 'throat hit' too harsh, or you feel dizzy, nausious, or develop hicups, then you need to reduce the nicotine.
