When a person starts using an electronic cigarette, it is recommended to begin with the same dose of nicotine as that consumed with their previous cigarette.
Therefore, it is essential to
know precisely this dosage before engaging in
vaping.
The different nicotine dosages in e-liquid
The
electronic cigarette and e-liquid can therefore have different nicotine levels. For those who want to vape just for fun, the e-liquid label will be marked
0mg/ml. That means there is no nicotine in the bottle.
People who enjoy low doses of nicotine will choose dosages of
6mg/ml or, at most,
11mg/ml. And dependent consumers will have the choice between a nicotine dosage of
16, 18, or 19.6 mg/ml.Starting vaping
For a person who is starting vaping, it is necessary to
know the right e-cigarette dosage. The latter should have the same nicotine dose as the traditional cigarette they were used to consuming.
Indeed, if the goal is to quit traditional cigarettes, a low dose will not meet the need. This can lead to a relapse and a return to the traditional cigarette.
On the contrary, having a high dosage can make the consumer more dependent.Nevertheless, if the consumer does not know the normal nicotine dosage they were used to, it is preferable to take a
e-liquid stronger in nicotine rather than weaker. The risk of relapse with a lower nicotine e-cigarette is high.
How to know the nicotine need?
The
nicotine level is expressed in mg. Generally, to know the dose and the need, it is enough to look at the pack of the traditional cigarette you smoked. This
level should be multiplied by the number of cigarettes consumed per day. The result of the calculation will therefore be the nicotine dosage you will need daily.
You can gradually reduce this nicotine level over time, to reach zero in the end, and completely wean yourself off smoking.
