Strengths of nicotine

The strength of e-liquid is measured in mg/ml or it is called per ml. The strengths of these e-liquids are based on the manufacturer and some are extremely strong and the strength can go up to 42 mg/ml. There however are more common strengths such as 0 which means there is no nicotine in it, 3, 6, 12 or 18 mg/ml.

You need to understand different strengths of e-liquids before you choose a product for you. Nicotine is a product that can be absorbed into the body either through the skin or by chewing or by inhalation. The fastest effect which is received is by smoking it or vaping it using e-liquids.

Vaping is related to smoking but the difference is that you can find out how much nicotine is present in a cigarette and you can also find out the absorption rate of nicotine. Theoretically it is possible to find out how much of e-liquid you are vaping but due to the difference in the kind of products that are used for vaping as well as the different rates of vaping, there are differences in how the nicotine gets transferred to the body. If you use vaping products such as a dripper with just 3 mg/ml you will receive the same effect as any other normal person would from 6 or even 12 mg/ml of e-liquid which is vaped using a cartomizer or a starter. Another difference is that there are no doses like there are puffs in cigarettes.

It is beneficial to start with lower amounts of vapes and then move to higher doses incase it is not satisfying enough. The e-liquid also has the flavor altered based on the nicotine and the amount of nicotine used. The buzz that you get with e-liquids are different to the buzz you get using cigarettes.

There are many devices which also help you regulate how much you puff and these are called puff counters.

Those who want to use a tank device or those who are interested in using atomizers will do well to start off with 6 mg/ml if you are a moderate or light smoker. This is also good if you are trying to give up smoking.

3mg/ml is used by those who use sub ohm tanks or rebuildable atomizers or drippers. These are used by people who like to vape a lot and in more frequency. Also the impact on the sub ohm atomizer is more than a standard cartomiser or even a starter kit.

It you don’t use tobacco products, use e-liquid which is 0mg. This does not contain nicotine. This only gives you the satisfaction of vaping as well as not being left out by the general public who smokes. This is also used by those people who consider vaping more of a style statement and those who are conscious of their health and do not want to ruin it due to the ill effects of tobacco and it’s derivative products which are there in the market and being consumed.
