How to choose your e-liquid?

For a vaper (electronic cigarette smoker), choosing an e-liquid is an important choice. To find the e-liquid that truly suits you, you can, from the first few weeks of use, allow yourself a trial period and thus test different dosages and flavors.

For your information, know that 1 ml of e-liquid is equal to 100 puffs from a regular cigarette, whereas with a regular cigarette, that corresponds to about 10/12 puffs. A 10 ml bottle is therefore equivalent to approximately the equivalent of 5 packs of 20 cigarettes.

To help you in your choice, you can take into account 3 major criteria of your smoker profile:

• The type of cigarette you smoke.
• How many cigarettes you smoke per day.
• The flavors, aromas that you like.

Which cigarette do you smoke?

Referring to the type and nicotine dosage of your regular cigarette will help you find your way and choose the dosage of your electronic cigarette refill. Of course, you should not confuse the nicotine dosage of your regular cigarette (expressed as the amount of nicotine inhaled per cigarette) with that of an e-liquid (rate indicated in mg per ml), which is different. You can find the nicotine dosage of your cigarette directly on your pack or on the internet. To help you, here is a small summary table for reference:


Type of cigarette	Nicotine level noted on my cigarette pack	Nicotine dosage for my e-liquid
Without nicotine, for the taste and the gesture	0 mg	0 mg
Extra light	Between 0.1 and 0.5 mg	Between 6 and 11 mg
Light	Between 0.6 and 0.7 mg	Between 11 and 16 mg
Strong (blondes)	0.8 mg	Between 16 and 19.6 mg
Very strong (certain brunettes, unfiltered)	Between 0.9 and 1 mg	19.6 mg

How many cigarettes do I smoke per day?

To make the right choice with complete simplicity, you can also use the number of cigarettes you smoke per day as a guide. Do not hesitate to alternate nicotine strengths according to your needs, desires, and moods of the day, and ideally, gradually switch to 0 mg so as not to experience a sense of withdrawal!
Here are the dosages that can be recommended:

Number of cigarettes per day	Nicotine strength in my e-liquid
Less than 5	6 mg
From 5 to about ten	6 to 11 mg
From 12/15 to a pack	11 to 16 mg
More than a pack	16 to 19.6 mg

So do not forget that it is important to start the electronic cigarette with a nicotine level suited to your personal needs.This way, you will avoid deficiency if the dosage is too low or prevent overdosing, which can manifest, for example, as headaches, palpitations... In this case, do not hesitate to reduce your consumption or lower your nicotine dosage.


Which flavor to choose?

For this, there are no rules! We can only advise you to follow your desires, your preferences, and above all to dare to vary the flavors. This way, you will preserve all the intensity of the flavors and avoid habituation phenomena, which could reduce the sensation in the mouth.A little advice, nonetheless, if you are a beginner vaper, remember to properly adjust the nicotine level according to your smoking profile (see above) and to use tobacco flavors at first. Of course, you can later explore the wide range of fruity, sweet, or spicy flavors offered by electronic cigarettes!

In summary, if I smoke fewer than 5 cigarettes a day and enjoy the good fruity taste,I am leaning towards a Tutti Frutti 6 mg e-liquid.

Know that it is also possible to make mixtures of e-liquid! After a few weeks of practice, you will be able to create your own strengths and your own flavors by mixing the e-liquids.
For example, if you want a nicotine strength of 3 mg, pour 5 ml of 6 mg e-liquid and 5 ml of 0 mg e-liquid of the same flavor into the tank.

Tip : To test different nicotine levels and find the one that suits you, take a 17 mg e-liquid and a nicotine-free e-liquid (0 mg) of the same flavor, then pour proportionally to the desired strength into the tank. To obtain a unique flavor, you can add a few drops of a fruity or menthol e-liquid into a tobacco e-liquid and thus test a new flavor.
