What freebase nic strength should I use?
Determining the appropriate freebase nicotine strength is a vital step in embarking on your vaping journey. We've outlined key nicotine ranges to assist you in selecting the right strength to match your needs.
Nicotine Ranges:
0mg (0%):
Ideal for vapers who seek flavor without nicotine.
1.5mg (0.15%):
The perfect nicotine strength for vapers looking to reduce their nicotine intake or those desiring an ultra-light hit.
3mg (0.3%):
Best for light smokers or sub-ohm vapers. Nicotine has a stronger impact when sub-ohming, making 3mg a preferred choice.
6mg (0.6%) - 12mg (1.2%):
Smokers with light to moderate cigarette consumption should opt for a strength between 6-12mg nicotine. This range aligns with most domestic cigarette nicotine levels.
12mg (1.2%) - 18mg (1.8%):
Heavy smokers should commence here, with the goal of gradually reducing their nicotine intake. If you smoke a pack a day, consider starting with 18mg. In this range, you'll begin to detect the peppery notes of nicotine, which can affect the overall flavor of your e-liquid.
24mg (2.4%):
Best suited for very heavy smokers, such as those who smoke multiple packs daily. However, starting at this level is not recommended. Instead, begin with 18mg and gradually progress to 24mg if needed.
30mg (3.0%) or above:
In this range, nicotine MUST be diluted before consumption. You can achieve this by using a 0mg blend of Flavorless E-Liquid or PG/VG Base.
