- Understand Nicotine Levels: Nicotine strength is usually measured in milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL). Common strengths include 0mg/mL (nicotine-free), 3mg/mL, 6mg/mL, 12mg/mL, and 18mg/mL.
- Consider Your Smoking Habits: If you're a heavy smoker, you may want to start with a higher nicotine level to satisfy your cravings. Light smokers or those looking to quit nicotine altogether may prefer lower levels or even nicotine-free options.
- Trial and Error: It often takes some experimentation to find the right nicotine strength for you. Start with a level you think might suit you based on your smoking habits, then adjust up or down as needed.
- Throat Hit: Nicotine contributes to the throat hit sensation when vaping. Higher nicotine levels usually result in a stronger throat hit, which some vapers prefer for the sensation of smoking.
- Sub-ohm Vaping: If you're using a sub-ohm device (with coils with a resistance of less than 1 ohm), lower nicotine strengths are generally recommended due to the increased vapor production and more efficient nicotine delivery.
- Be Aware of Nicotine Sensitivity: Some people are more sensitive to nicotine than others. If you experience dizziness, nausea, or other adverse effects, consider lowering your nicotine strength.
