What Nicotine Strength Do I Need?

Starting out in the world of vaping can be confusing. There's a lot of information to take in! We’ve written a rough guide on where to start with your nicotine strength for new vapers coming from smoking. 

Light/social smoker (1 - 5 cigarettes a day)

3-5mg 

Average smoker ( 5 - 10 cigarettes a day)

6-10mg

Moderate smoker (10 - 20 Cigarettes a day)

10-12mg

Heavy smoker (20+ cigarettes a day)

18-20mg

It's good to bear in mind that there are two types of nicotine. Regular nicotine (also known as Freebase), provides a stronger throat hit and comes in 3mg, 6mg, 12mg and 18mg. If you feel you'd prefer a smoother vape with less throat-hit, go with Nicotine Salts, available in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. 

If your goal is to quit completely, you can slowly lower the strength you’re using over time. This lowers your nicotine dependence and makes quitting completely much easier.
