How to Choose the Right Nicotine Strength for Vaping

The strong in nicotine strength denotes how much nicotine is in an e-liquid serving, otherwise known as concentration, in milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL).

1. Low (0 to 6 mg): This level is nice and smooth with a very subtle feeling to it; best for sub-ohm vapers. 
2. Medium (6 to 12 mg): This level is a good balance with some throat hit and is good for moderate smoking.
3. High (18 to 20 mg): This level is the most satisfying for the user and is mostly for heavy smokers using low power devices.

When you vape, nicotine reaches your body almost right away. How strong it feels depends on the type of device you use. Lower-power devices deliver nicotine more smoothly, especially when using nicotine salts. Higher-power devices make more vapor, which can make lower nicotine levels feel stronger.

The effects of nicotine don’t last very long, and everyone feels them differently. How often you vape and how your body reacts can change the experience.

If the nicotine level is too high, it can cause throat irritation, dizziness, or nausea. That’s why choosing the right nicotine strength for your device is important. The right balance makes vaping smoother and more enjoyable.

Key Benefits of Choosing the Right Strength

1. Higher tolerance of cravings 
2. Smoother or stronger throat hit, depending on your preference
3. Reduced chance of overconsumption 
4. More dependable and user-friendly vape    

Vaping habits are congruent with your daily routine.
