This is a question that comes up often and rightly so. Nicotine dosage will first be calculated based on the number of cigarettes you smoke per day and then based on the device you use.

Understanding Nicotine Dosages in E-cigarettes: A Comprehensive Guide

Among the frequent inquiries in the e-cigarette community, the one that stands out is the determination of the suitable nicotine dosage. The calculation of this dosage initially depends on your daily consumption of cigarettes, and secondarily on the type of device you employ.

Indirect Inhalation Devices

For devices featuring indirect inhalation (operating between 10W and 20W of power), the required nicotine dosages are typically higher. This heightened dosage facilitates the maximization of sensations, simulating as closely as possible the experience of smoking a traditional cigarette.

Consider the following guidelines:

• If you smoke 5 to 10 cigarettes per day, opt for a dosage of 6mg.
• If your daily consumption ranges between 10 to 20 cigarettes, a dosage of 12mg is recommended.

The 3mg nicotine dosage is less popular with this type of system due to a lower perceived 'hit' (the distinctive throat sensation). However, it can serve as a helpful intermediary step for users seeking to transition from 6mg to a non-nicotine product.

Direct Inhalation Devices

For direct inhalation devices (operating between 25W and 45W), lower nicotine dosages are necessary. Given the larger inhalation volumes with these devices, nicotine concentration needs to be diminished accordingly.

Consider the following guidelines:

• If you smoke 5 to 10 cigarettes per day, a 3mg dosage would be suitable.
• For those consuming between 10 to 20 cigarettes per day, a 6mg dosage is recommended.
• If you smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day, consider a dosage of 12mg. However, bear in mind that this higher concentration can be intensely strong, hence its less frequent use.
