Understanding Nicotine Measurements

Nicotine strength is measured in milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL). A 50mg juice has 50mg of nicotine per mL of liquid, also expressed as 5%.

Salt Nic vs Freebase

Salt nicotine delivers higher concentrations smoothly. Freebase nicotine above 12mg becomes harsh. Most disposables use salt nic.

Strength Guide

50mg: Pack-a-day smokers
35mg: Half-pack smokers
20mg: Light smokers
0-6mg: Those tapering down

Tips for Transitioning

Start at a strength that satisfies your cravings. Many vapers successfully reduce from 50mg to 20mg over a few months.
