How do I choose the flavor and nicotine strength of my e-cigarette?

The flavor and nicotine content of e-cigarettes determine the vaping experience. Choosing an unsuitable flavor and nicotine content may cause vomiting and nausea, thus failing to achieve the goal of assisting in quitting smoking. JOCEIG shares methods for selecting e-cigarette flavors and nicotine content below.

Selecting E-Liquid Flavor

The flavor you choose depends on your purpose for using e-cigarettes. If you are using e-cigarettes to quit smoking, it is best to choose a tobacco-flavored e-cigarette. This flavor is similar to traditional cigarettes, helping smokers transition without feeling repulsed by the e-cigarette during the initial phase.

If you are not using e-cigarettes to quit smoking, choose based on your personal preference or popular flavors to reduce the chance of selecting the wrong e-liquid. Finding a favorite flavor may take time, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t get it right the first time. Keep trying different flavors until you find one you like.

Choosing Nicotine Content in E-Liquids

Currently, e-liquids come in nicotine concentrations of 0mg, 1.5mg, 3mg, 6mg, and 12mg.

Different cigarettes have different nicotine contents, and individuals smoke varying amounts daily. To select the most suitable e-liquid for transitioning from cigarettes, first read the nicotine data on the cigarette pack and e-liquid bottle.

Calculating Nicotine Content in E-Liquids

6mg refers to the nicotine content per 1ml of e-liquid, not the total nicotine content in the bottle.

Calculating Nicotine Content in Cigarettes

0.5mg refers to the nicotine content per cigarette. The nicotine content in a pack of cigarettes (20 cigarettes) is:

If a person smokes one pack a day, their daily nicotine intake is 10mg.

If using 2ml of e-liquid daily, it is recommended to choose 5mg e-liquid, but since 5mg e-liquids are not available, choose 6mg instead.

For quitting smoking, it is suitable to start with e-liquids with a nicotine content of 6mg or higher (based on daily smoking volume), as the higher concentration provides a throat hit similar to that of traditional cigarettes.

However, over time, as you get used to e-cigarettes, a 6mg or higher e-liquid might feel too harsh, causing throat irritation or coughing. When this happens, you can switch to a 3mg e-liquid and gradually reduce the nicotine content to achieve the goal of quitting smoking.
