📊 The Neuroscience Behind Vape Flavor Satisfaction
Recent 2025 studies from the Flavor Science Institute reveal that 83% of what we perceive as “flavor” actually comes from aroma rather than taste buds. This explains why many vapers report dramatically different experiences with the same vape flavors across different devices.
The 3 Second Rule
2025 research shows flavor compounds activate different receptors at specific time intervals:
- 0-1 second: Immediate “top notes” (citrus, mint)
- 1-2 seconds: Mid-range flavors (berries, vanilla)
- 2-3 seconds: Base notes (cream, tobacco)
