Hey there, vaping enthusiasts! 
Welcome back to our Newbie Guide series. If you’ve been following along, you’ll remember our last installment covered coil maintenance tips to keep your device performing at its best. Today, we’re diving into the world of nicotine strength—a topic that’s crucial for crafting your ideal vaping experience. By the end of this guide, you’ll understand how different nicotine levels affect your vape and how to choose the right one for you. Let’s go! 
A Quick Recap: Mastering Coil Care 
Before we jump in, let’s quickly revisit our previous lesson. Proper coil maintenance is the key to consistent flavor and vapor production. Here’s a quick refresher:
- Prime your coils before use to prevent dry hits.
- Clean your tank regularly to remove residue buildup.
- Replace coils when flavor fades or you experience a burnt taste.
Got it? Great! Now, let’s talk nicotine.
Understanding Nicotine Strengths: What Do Those Numbers Mean? 
Nicotine strength in e-liquids is measured in milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL). Common options include 0mg, 3mg, 6mg, 12mg, and 18mg. For beginners, starting low and adjusting gradually is recommended. Today, we’ll focus on 3mg and 6mg—two popular choices for vapers transitioning from smoking or looking for a balanced experience.
Why Nicotine Matters: Finding Your Sweet Spot 
Your nicotine preference depends on several factors:
- Your smoking history: Heavy smokers may need higher nicotine initially.
- Desired throat hit: Higher nicotine levels typically provide a stronger “kick.”
- Vaping frequency: Frequent vapers might opt for lower strengths to avoid overdoing it.
VAPORESSO ARMOUR MAX: A Powerhouse for Customized Vaping 
Let’s take a closer look at how nicotine strength affects your experience with VAPORESSO’s ARMOUR MAX—a versatile device known for its durability, adjustable airflow, and impressive vapor production. Whether you’re a cloud chaser or flavor fanatic, this device adapts to your preferences.
3mg vs. 6mg: How Nicotine Strength Changes Your Vape 
Let’s break down the differences between these two popular nicotine levels using the ARMOUR MAX as our example:
1. 3mg Nicotine: Smooth, Flavor-Focused Vaping 
- Throat hit: Subtle and smooth—ideal for those who prefer a gentle sensation.
- Flavor intensity: With less nicotine overpowering the taste, you’ll experience richer, more nuanced flavors.
- Vapor production: Perfect for cloud chasing, as higher wattages (which the ARMOUR MAX excels at) won’t make the nicotine hit too harsh.
- Best for: Casual vapers, those transitioning from light smoking, or anyone who prioritizes flavor over nicotine buzz.
2. 6mg Nicotine: Balanced Kick with Vapor Control 
- Throat hit: More pronounced—similar to a light cigarette.
- Nicotine satisfaction: Provides a quicker buzz, making it ideal for ex-smokers or those needing a stronger nicotine fix.
- Vapor vs. nicotine: You can dial down the wattage on the ARMOUR MAX to balance vapor production with a satisfying nicotine hit.
- Best for: Former smokers, occasional vapers, or those who enjoy a noticeable throat hit without going overboard.
How to Experiment Safely with Nicotine Strength 
Not sure where to start? Here’s a step-by-step approach:
- Start low: Begin with 3mg if you’re a light smoker or prefer milder sensations.
- Adjust gradually: If 3mg feels insufficient, try 6mg. If 6mg is too harsh, drop back down.
- Listen to your body: Headaches, dizziness, or nausea? You may be using too much nicotine.
- Use the right device: The ARMOUR MAX’s adjustable airflow and wattage settings make it perfect for fine-tuning your experience.
Pro Tips from VAPORESSO’s Product Team 
- Pair high-VG e-liquids (like those in VAPORESSO’s LUXE Q series) with lower nicotine levels for smoother clouds.
- Avoid chain vaping with high nicotine strengths—it can lead to discomfort.
- Stay hydrated! Vaping can dehydrate you, especially with higher nicotine levels.
Conclusion: Your Vaping, Your Rules 
Choosing the right nicotine strength is all about personal preference. Whether you opt for the smooth, flavor-forward experience of 3mg or the balanced kick of 6mg, the ARMOUR MAX has you covered. Remember: vaping should be enjoyable, not overwhelming. Take your time, experiment responsibly, and most importantly—have fun!
