E-Liquid Strength
Choosing the right nicotine strength can make or break your vaping experience. Whether you're transitioning from cigarettes or just want flavour without the buzz, here's a breakdown of what each strength means and who it's for.
0mg – Nicotine Free
Flavour with no nicotine
Perfect for hobbyist vapers or those who’ve fully weaned off nicotine but still enjoy the sensation of vaping. Also ideal if you're mixing your own e-liquids and want full control over strength.
- ✅ Zero nicotine, 100% flavour
- ✅ Great for sub-ohm cloud chasers
- ✅ Common in shortfills and DIY blends
3mg – Ultra Low Strength
For light smokers or sub-ohm vapers
3mg is often used with high-VG shortfills and sub-ohm devices. It's enough to take the edge off without overpowering flavour or throat hit.
- ✅ For occasional or social smokers
- ✅ Pair with 50ml/100ml shortfills + 1 or 2 nic shots
- ✅ Light and smooth nicotine delivery
6mg – Low Strength
Balanced throat hit & flavour
A good middle ground — 6mg works well for moderate smokers or MTL vapers using 50/50 blends. It provides more noticeable satisfaction without being too harsh.
- ✅ For ex-smokers of ~10 cigarettes/day
- ✅ Compatible with pen-style or pod systems
- ✅ Available in both freebase and nic salt formats
10mg – Medium Salt Nic
Smooth hit, fast absorption
10mg nic salts are ideal for those who want a gentler alternative to 20mg without sacrificing satisfaction. Perfect for mouth-to-lung users and smokers looking to reduce gradually.
- ✅ Mild throat hit, high satisfaction
- ✅ Great for refillable pod kits
- ✅ Delivers nicotine quickly without harshness
20mg – High Strength
Closest feel to a cigarette
The strongest legal strength in the UK, 20mg e-liquids are best for heavy smokers or new switchers who need a fast, strong hit to curb cravings.
- ✅ Maximum nicotine strength (TPD-compliant)
- ✅ Ideal for heavy smokers switching to vape
- ✅ Only use in low-wattage MTL pod systems
