When switching from conventional cigarettes to an electronic cigarette from The Vaporium, many people do not know how to choose the nicotine strength that’s right for them. It may seem confusing, but it’s really not that technical -; you can choose an e-liquid by answering a few simple questions and not being afraid to try more than one type.
The Different E-Liquid Strengths
There’s a nicotine strength for every user, such as:
- 0mg/mL: This e liquid contains no nicotine whatsoever; it’s usually best for those who have successfully quit smoking, but still have oral fixations.
- 6mg/mL: This is the lowest level possible in e liquids, and it’s perfect for those who want the full flavor without the high nicotine level.
- 12mg/mL: Still a quite low level, this e liquid is perfect for those who like the flavor of nicotine but don’t frequently vape. It’s also right for former light cigarette smokers.
- 18mg/mL: This e liquid strength is best for former smokers of regular-strength cigarettes, and it delivers the ideal nicotine amount with each use.
- 24mg/mL: Best for formerly heavy smokers (those who smoke a pack a day).
- 36mg/mL: Preferred by those who used to smoke more than two packs per day/those with a serious nicotine addiction.
Understanding your Habit
Now that you know the different nicotine strengths that are available, you should look more closely at your smoking habits -; such as how much and how often you smoke. If you only take a puff occasionally, you may want a stronger e-liquid; however, if you puff throughout the day, you should go with a lesser nicotine content to reduce the chance of ill effects. By being more aware of your own smoking habits, you can easily find the right e liquid strength for yourself.
The best thing about e-cigarette use is that you can quickly choose the right nicotine strength for your needs. It’s not that expensive to switch, so you can experiment without damaging your health or your pocketbook. As a general rule, start with the lowest nicotine strength possible.
You can always vape more of a lower-strength liquid, but if you take too much of a liquid that’s too strong, you can increase your nicotine addiction and even make yourself ill. Experienced vapers keep multiple e-liquids with varying strengths to be used in different situations.
