Vaping Basics: Understanding Nicotine Strengths
One of the most important vaping basics is understanding nicotine strengths. Choosing the right level can make or break your experience.
What Nicotine Strengths Mean
Common Ranges
- 0mg – Nicotine-free
- 3mg-6mg – Light users or casual vapers
- 12mg-18mg – Ex-smokers or heavier users
- 20mg-50mg (salt nic) – For stronger cravings
How to Choose the Right Strength
- If you smoked less than 10 cigarettes/day, start with 3mg-6mg.
- If you smoked heavily, try 12mg or nicotine salts.
- Want to quit nicotine? Start high and reduce gradually.
Final Tip
Your goal is to find a balance between satisfaction and comfort. Too much nicotine can cause dizziness or throat irritation—too little may leave cravings.
