How to Choose Vape Nicotine Strength

The right nicotine strength depends on your previous smoking habits, device type and personal preference. Higher strengths are usually used in lower-powered pod kits, while lower strengths are often used in more powerful sub-ohm kits.

Vape Saloon stocks nic salts, freebase e-liquids, pod kits and refillable devices for adult customers who want help choosing a suitable setup.

Nic Salts, Freebase and Device Type

Nic salts are often chosen in 10mg or 20mg strengths for compact pod kits because they can feel smoother than traditional freebase nicotine. Freebase e-liquids are often available in lower strengths such as 3mg or 6mg and can suit users who prefer a stronger throat hit.

High-powered sub-ohm kits usually pair with lower nicotine strengths, while MTL and pod kits often work better with higher strengths or nic salts. Always match your e-liquid to your device and coil type.

What nicotine strength should I choose?

It depends on your previous smoking habits, device type and personal preference. Pod kit users often choose higher strengths than sub-ohm users, but the right choice varies by person.

Is 20mg nicotine strong?

20mg is the maximum nicotine strength commonly sold for compliant UK nicotine e-liquids. It is usually used in lower-powered pod kits rather than high-powered sub-ohm devices.

Can I use high nicotine in a sub-ohm kit?
