Choosing the right amount of nicotine strength is vital when you first start vaping.
- Some people opt for lower nicotine levels in vape cartridges in their first attempt at quitting smoking. During this initial transition, you may find yourself wanting to reach for the emergency pack of cigarettes in your glovebox.
- If you were a heavy smoker, you should start vaping with higher nicotine levels in your e-cigarette as your nicotine cravings will be much higher. You should try and reduce the amount of nicotine in your vape juice to help combat the cravings and eventually lose them altogether.
- Similarly, if you were more of a social smoker, you should reduce the amount of nicotine. Your body won’t crave nicotine as much as a seasoned smoker would, and too much nicotine can result in a harsh hit at the back of your throat. Not pleasant, right?
Is there an average amount of puffs you should take?
- Some experts suggest that the amount of puffs you should take per vaping session is between 2 and 3.
- Even 2 to 3 puffs may help to address the nicotine intake that the body is used to. This could be significant in transitioning away from cigarettes.
- Many people feel the need to take more puffs from their vapes as they are subconsciously substituting the vape for a regular cigarette. They should try to adjust for this over time.
- Smokers tend to form habits subconsciously. They have specific breaks around the same time during the day for a cigarette, and they usually last for around the same time – the time it takes for them to smoke their cigarette.
- Even if a smoker is satisfied after two puffs of their vape, they will probably take the same amount of puffs they would take as if they were smoking for real.
- The transition from cigarettes to vaping is something that people often get used to over time. Usually, they will reduce the time they spend vaping to the average amount of 2 to 3 puffs . They realize that their nicotine craving has been addressed and can feel satisfied with fewer puffs.
