Whether you're new to electronic cigarettes or transitioning from smoking, understanding nicotine types and choosing the right mg of nicotine is crucial. In this guide, we’ll explain the difference between freebase and salt nicotine, help you decide how many mg of nicotine to choose, and explore what works best for your device.

🔍 Types of Nicotine in Vape Liquids

1. Freebase Nicotine

The classic form found in many e-liquids. It delivers a strong throat hit and works best in high-wattage vape mods.

Best for:

Vape mods & sub-ohm tanks
Experienced users
Adjustable nicotine control

2. Salt Nicotine (NicSalt)

Salt nicotine is smoother and absorbs faster. It’s ideal for POD systems and for those who want a quick and satisfying experience — especially new vapers or those trying to quit smoking.

Advantages:

Fast nicotine delivery
Smooth feel even at high strengths
Perfect for beginners

📊 How Many Mg of Nicotine Should You Choose?

One of the most common questions is: how much nicotine do I need? Here's a simple guide:

Smoking History	Suggested Nicotine Strength
Never smoked	0 mg or 3 mg
Light smoker	6 mg (freebase) or 10–12 mg (salt)
Heavy smoker	12–18 mg (freebase) or 20–25 mg (salt)
Used disposables	20 mg salt nicotine
Want to reduce	Start with 20 mg and taper down

💨 Which Devices for Which Nicotine?

POD systems: best with salt nicotine (10–20 mg)
Vape mods & tanks: work better with freebase nicotine (3–12 mg)
Disposables: usually contain 20 mg salt
