How to Choose the Right Nicotine Strength for You

General

I want to dive into a topic that’s crucial for both new vapers and seasoned ones
If you were a heavy smoker, you might need a higher nicotine strength to satisfy your cravings. For example, a 5% nicotine concentration (50mg/mL) can provide a strong throat hit and a similar satisfaction to traditional cigarettes.
If you were a light smoker or are new to vaping, a lower concentration like 3% (30mg/mL) might be more suitable.

It’s interesting seeing the comparison to the US market and what they’d recommend. In comparison, I commented on someone’s post the other day about UK recommendations - It’d be interesting to see what people who have moved to the States to the UK and the other way around think of the different strengths and feels..

“When we give up smoking, it’s important to replace the cigarettes with the right amount of nicotine. for lighter smokers ( up to 5 a day) 3 mg should be enough, up to 10 a day, between 3 and 10, 20 and over smokers I’d probably recommend freebase 12 or a salt 20 to start off with as nicotine is in the entire bottle compared to 7-9mg per 1 cigarette. So in reality, going over to vaping reduces your nicotine levels drastically straight away. The way to think of it, with 1 cigarette you consume the 7-9mg of nicotine in the 5 minutes it takes to have a fag, whereas if it takes you 3 days to go through 1 10ml bottle of vape juice in 20mg, you’ve only had 2 strong cigarette’s worth of nicotine. But you also don’t want to start off on a dosage that’s too low or giving up cigarettes with be impossible. on average, people go through about 3 10ml bottles a week, so even though getting the dose right can be difficult initially, I recommend aiming for that result, specially if you’re just basing it off of research and can’t pop into a shop to speak to a qualified advisor. After you’ve reached that level is when I’d start playing with the strengths a bit more as that’s when it turns into what you’re comfortable doing, and how you feel while doing it. If you want to save money, it’s worth going up, but bear in mind that that means you might experience nausea, coughing, sore throat. if you want to sit there and puff all day long, go for lower strengths so you don’t have to worry too much about over doing it. Obviously it’s still possible.”_____FROM MY FRIEND ANDRA.
