Determining The Right Nicotine Strength For E-Juice

How strong should the nicotine concentration be in the e-liquid you buy? This is the question that you will find an answer to in this guide on e-liquid nicotine strength. So if you're wondering what the right amount is, then continue reading because you're about to find out.

E-Liquid Nicotine Strength: The Right Amount

You can certainly have too much nicotine in your e-juice and it may lead you to believe that your e-liquid is too harsh. The more nicotine is in the juice, the harsher it is when you inhale it. So why go high at all?

The reason why some vapers choose to vape high nicotine strength e-liquids is due to the fact that some vapers are former smokers who have switched to vaping nicotine instead of smoking it. For former smokers, having at least some nicotine in e-liquid is often seen as a necessity. Depending on how much you smoked, the amount in nicotine that you'll want in your e-liquid will vary.

E-Liquid Nicotine Strength For Heavy Smokers

Those who smoked heavily, a pack of cigarettes a day or more, may choose to buy a high strength e-liquid that contains 24mg of nicotine or more.

E-Liquid Nicotine Strength For Medium Smokers

Smokers accustomed to half a pack of cigarettes a day may opt for a nicotine strength of around 16mg.

E-Liquid Nicotine Strength For Light Smokers

Those who smoked cigarettes occasionally, a few a day or less, may find e-liquids with nicotine strengths between 3mg and 12mg to be right on the money.

Your E-Liquid Nicotine Preference May Differ

The numbers outlined above are rough guides for former smokers. While these numbers might work great for some former smokers, there will almost certainly be those who find these numbers to be inaccurate. Subsequently, the best advice may be to start low and see what works. If you can, buy some different strengths and start with the lowest nicotine strength and see if it works for you. If it's not enough, move up a level until you've reached a strength that's a good fit for you.

Keep in mind that when it comes to vaping e-liquid, the device that's used, the e-cig or vape, will determine to some extent how powerful the vapor is. Typical cig-a-likes don't produce nearly as much vapor as heavy-duty box mods, for example. So if you have a relatively weak vape, then it may help to use a higher strength e-liquid than you would otherwise use.

What Is E-Liquid?

E-liquid, which is also known as vape juice and e-juice, is the liquid that e-cigs vaporize to produce vapor. While many non-vapers associate e-liquid with tobacco, the common point is actually the nicotine, which isn't always present in e-liquid. What e-liquid typically contains is a mixture of PG, VG, flavoring, and nicotine. Nicotine-free e-liquids are sometimes referred to as "0 nic" due to the fact that they contain zero nicotine.

E-liquids are available in a ton of different flavors, which gives vapers a lot of room to wiggle around and find some flavors that work for them.

As nicotine is added to the e-liquid, the strength is relatively easy for manufacturers to control. In light of this, many vape juice manufacturers offer their juices in different nicotine strengths.
