Nicotine Strengths Explained: Choosing The Right Skwezed Fit

When it comes to vaping, finding the right nicotine strength is key to creating a satisfying experience. Whether you're looking for a smooth hit or a stronger buzz, understanding nicotine strengths can help you dial in the perfect balance. At Skwezed, we want to make the process easy, so let’s break down everything you need to know about nicotine strengths and how to find the right one for you.

Freebase & Salt Nicotine E-liquids - The Differences

Your first choice starts with whether you prefer Freebase or Salt Nicotine e-liquid. Freebase e-liquids are made by altering nicotine to its purest form, making it more alkaline with a higher pH level, which can result in a stronger throat hit. Salt Nicotine e-liquids are made by using a special process that binds nicotine with benzoic acid, lowering its pH level and making it smoother to inhale at higher levels. Looking for big clouds? Freebase might be your thing. Smooth satisfaction is your priority? Salt Nicotine could be for you. Both forms of e-liquid are measured in milligrams per milliliter (mg/ml), but the strength levels are not the same for both.

Why Nicotine Strength Matters

Nicotine strength affects not only the intensity of your vape but also how satisfying it feels. Too much nicotine can lead to a harsh throat hit, while too little might leave you unsatisfied and reaching for more. The goal is to find that sweet spot where you feel satisfied without overdoing it. 

Nicotine strength is measured in milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL). The higher the number, the stronger the nicotine concentration in the e-liquid.

Breaking Down Nicotine Strengths

0mg (Nicotine-Free) – Just for the Flavor

• Perfect for flavor chasers who want to enjoy the full taste experience without any nicotine.
• Great for those who have already stepped away from nicotine but still love the act of vaping.

3mg – Light and Mellow

• A low-level nicotine option that provides a subtle throat hit.
• Ideal for casual vapers or those transitioning from low-nicotine products.
• Best suited for sub-ohm or high-wattage devices that produce larger clouds.

6mg – Smooth and Balanced

• Offers a stronger hit than 3mg while maintaining a smooth vaping experience.
• Suitable for moderate smokers or those looking for a more noticeable hit.
• Works well in both sub-ohm and pod systems.

12mg – Stronger Satisfaction

• Provides a more robust hit and quicker nicotine absorption.
• Ideal for former heavy smokers or those who prefer a stronger experience.
• Works best with lower-power pod systems and mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices.

20mg to 50mg (Salt Nicotine) – Intense and Fast-Acting

• Designed for those who need higher nicotine levels without the harshness of freebase nicotine.
• Nicotine salts are smoother and more satisfying, even at higher strengths.
• Best for use with pod systems and low-wattage devices.

 

How to Choose the Right Nicotine Strength

If you’re switching from cigarettes:

• Start with 12mg to 20mg if you were a heavy smoker.
• 6mg is a good starting point for moderate smokers.

If you want a smoother experience:

• 3mg is ideal for light smokers or casual vapers.

If you’re all about the flavor:

• 0mg lets you enjoy the taste without any nicotine buzz.

If you want fast nicotine satisfaction:

• Try salt nicotine in the 20mg to 50mg range for a quick hit without harshness.
