Understanding Nicotine Strengths
Choosing the right nicotine strength is crucial for your vaping experience. Here’s a breakdown of different strengths and their best uses.
Regular (Freebase) Nicotine
3mg and 6mg are considered Regular or Freebase Nicotine. These strengths are best suited for:
- Larger devices that provide a lot of power.
- Those who prefer a much lighter nicotine hit in a smaller device.
- Users looking for a mild nicotine experience without lightheadedness.
Salt Nicotine
10mg, 12mg, and 20mg are considered Salt Nicotine. These strengths are best suited for:
- Smaller devices such as the Uwell Caliburn G3, Vaporesso XROS 4, and the SMOK Nord 5.
- Providing a smooth hit while delivering maximum nicotine.
- Low-power environments to avoid excessive nicotine intake.
- New vapers transitioning from smoking, especially with 20mg Salt Nicotine.
