what does nicotine taste like
TribbleTrouble, Jan 22, 2009. TribbleTrouble, Jan 22, 2009. #2. At those levels the Nicotine isn't really that evident. The sweetness of the flavors overrides it. Nicotine has a peppery flavor to me. (Remember the first Nicotine gum...blech). I can definitely taste the nicotine in the 16mg vs the 11mg.
