Welcome to Nicotine Math (But Way More Fun)

Hey there, Futuristic Vapers! 🚀 If you’ve ever stared at a bottle of e-juice wondering, “Why does 3mg feel weak in one device but 20mg in another nearly knock me out?”—you’re not alone. At Futuristic Vapes, your go-to vape shop in Delta and Surrey since 2015, we’re here to simplify the science… with a little help from your favorite beverages.

Freebase vs. Salt Nicotine: The Basics

The Golden Rule: Match Strength to Power

• Low-Wattage Devices (10-25W):
  Salt Nicotine (12mg-20mg) = Quick, strong hits (like a shot).
  Example: Caliburn G3 + 20mg salt = 😌 Perfect for stealthy puffs.
• High-Wattage Devices (50W+):
  Freebase Nicotine (3mg-6mg) = Gentle, long sessions (like a pitcher).
  Example: VOOPOO Argus Pro 2 + 3mg freebase = ☁️ Cloud-chasing bliss.

Mistakes to Avoid

• ❌ Using 20mg salt nicotine in a 100W device = Nausea city! (FAFO in effect)
• ❌ Using 3mg freebase in a tiny pod = Weak satisfaction.

Pro Tips from Futuristic Vapes
