E-cigarettes don\u2019t contain tobacco, instead, they contain e-liquid. E-liquid is vapourised by your e-cigarette, which creates the cloud that you can inhale. This is where the \u201cvape\u201d part of vaping comes from. <\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All e-liquids are different. Strong e-liquids contain a lot of nicotine, while the lightest e-liquids don\u2019t contain any nicotine at all. Nicotine is measured in milligrams (mg). Sometimes you\u2019ll see this expressed as a percentage instead. A strong bottle of e-liquid might be 2.4% nicotine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1066\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/image-factory\/aeaa4d6616a3fcdbe7189a63cdceafbed60d995f~553x700@2x\/images\/products\/YJqClbZZiwoaqcdDCBbeI1flpC22rjkMWfTrmYc0.jpg\" alt=\"vaper refilling his e-liquid | best e-cig - electronic tobacconist UK\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>How Much Nicotine Do I Need In My E-cigarette?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s up to you! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our experience, nearly all vapers are smokers who want to cut down on tobacco. But quitting nicotine is hard! Most people who quit cold turkey end up relapsing.

If you smoke a lot of cigarettes, you\u2019ll need a strong e-liquid. Once you\u2019re used to vaping, you can consider gradually lowering your nicotine intake over time. If your e-cigarette isn\u2019t strong enough, then you\u2019ll end up with the usual nicotine withdrawal symptoms and probably reach for your usual cigarettes. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>I\u2019m a heavy smoker, 30+ cigarettes a day. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll want to look for the strongest e-liquids, at around 20+ mg. The standard e-liquid bottle comes with 10 ml of juice, which should be more than enough to satisfy your cravings. If you get a strong throat hit that isn\u2019t pleasant, consider trying a liquid with a lower PG to VG ratio. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try our <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/e-liquid-c9#a1:a44\">highest strength e-liquids<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>I\u2019m a pack-a-day smoker (20 cigarettes). <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may find the best e-cigarette strength for you is 18 mg.
