If you choose e-cigarette over smoke or chemical filled
tobacco cigarettes, probably it is the best decision you can take to improve
your health.

When making the switch from smoking cigarettes to the
electronic cigarette, many new users are puzzled about how to choose nicotine
strength. But it needn’t be confusing. You can easily know what strength to
start with by answering a few questions.

We’re often asked exactly what 12mg and 20mg strengths mean
for nicotine. It’s the amount of nicotine in mg, for each milliliter of
E-Liquid, expressed as mg/ml.

The nicotine density for e-liquid is the number of
milligrams of nicotine per milliliter in the E-Liquid. It means a 10ml bottle
of 20mg nicotine e-liquid would have 200mg of nicotine in it.  A 30ml bottle of 20mg e-liquid would have
600mg of nicotine percentage.

The amount as well as the feeling of the nicotine absorbed
by our body from electronic cigarette smoking depends on many factors. It
includes density of the nicotine in e-liquid, the E-cig vaporizing quantity,
the smoking frequency and timing, and the smoking inhaling respiration.

Actually the nicotine in the E-Liquid can’t be absorbed
completely by the vaper.

For example, if you inhale 1 ml of E-Liquid which contains
20 mg of nicotine that does not mean that you absorb all the 20 mg of nicotine.

You may only absorb about 40-65% of the nicotine and it all
depends on your smoking habits.

E-liquids comes in several strengths: high, medium, low, and
zero. E-liquids usually come in 20 mg, 18 mg, 12 mg, or 6 mg strengths.

Use the E-liquid strength guide below, to help you make your
transition to using E-cigarettes easier, and more successful.

Zero nicotine levels are usually ordered by people who have
already quit smoking but still have an oral fixation and use an electronic
cigarette to satisfy it.

6mg/mL Nicotine: This level of nicotine is the lightest
level offered. This is for people who wish to enjoy the smallest possible
nicotine level while still enjoying a full E-liquid taste. This is commonly the
last level in “stepping.”

12mg/mL Nicotine: On the lower end of the spectrum, 12mg/ml
is a comfortable level for people who prefer nicotine, but aren’t heavy vapers.

18mg/ml Nicotine: Most vapers, usually former smokers, enjoy
this level because it delivers the perfect amount of nicotine in each vape.

20mg/ml Nicotine: This is on the high side of nicotine
levels and is commonly preferred by people who were formally heavy smokers
(about a pack per day).

It is important for those switching to vaping, to choose a
nicotine strength as close to their tobacco-based cigarettes for two reasons:

If you choose a E-liquid with lower nicotine level than what
you are used to, your body will still crave it’s normal amount of nicotine and
therefore you may think that the e-cigarette doesn’t work for you and you may
go back to smoking regular cigarettes.

If you currently smoke a light tobacco based cigarette and
you choose a full strength e-liquid strength, you will overload your body with
more nicotine. This may result in not liking the e-cigarette.

So, choosing the right nicotine strength is an important
decision for a new vaper. Especially, when you are new to vaping, you need to
have an idea on the liquid strengths in vapers. Don’t forget to choose the high
quality e-liquid and don’t go for the cheap quality as it can worsen your
health. For high quality UK made Donut King e-liquids.
