As explained earlier in this thread, different kinds of salt have different weights for the same volume. Salts that pack closely, such as table salt will have more salt in a given volume--so there's more salt and they taste salty-- than salts that pack loosely such as kosher salt and some sea salts. Some sea salts are fine grained cubes and can pack closely too.
