For a basic overview, here’s what we suggest:<\/strong><\/p>\n So when you start out on 3mg and see how you feel. If that\u2019s too much you can always get some e-liquid in a 0mg strength as well to dilute it down, if you\u2019re only wanting just a little nicotine in the mix.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once you’ve become comfortable with vaping and found a nicotine strength that suits you, you can slowly taper down the nicotine level over time. If you eventually want to eliminate nicotine completely but still enjoy the act of vaping, you can continue using your preferred e-liquids by switching to a 0mg nicotine option.<\/p>\n Now, let\u2019s discuss propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG). While these terms might sound like lab chemicals, they\u2019re actually everyday ingredients found in many household and food products, such as flavorings, baked goods, soaps, and even toothpaste.<\/p>\n PG is the component in e-liquid that carries the flavor. It has a thin consistency, making it easier to vaporize, which is why high-PG liquids are great for beginner vapers. Additionally, PG provides a stronger throat hit, closely mimicking the sensation of smoking.<\/p>\n VG, on the other hand, is thicker and sweeter. It\u2019s responsible for producing the dense vapor clouds that many vapers enjoy.<\/p>\n So, how do these two work together? If you prefer higher nicotine levels, a balanced 50:50 PG\/VG ratio<\/strong>\u00a0is ideal, and a standard vape pen or pod mod would suit you best. This is because higher nicotine combined with a more powerful device can sometimes deliver too much nicotine at once.<\/p>\n For those who prefer lower nicotine levels, there are more flexibility and options\u2014especially if the throat hit isn\u2019t a priority. High-VG e-liquids (like 70VG\/30PG or 80VG\/20PG<\/strong>) are popular for producing massive clouds and a smooth inhale. These blends also pair well with sub-ohm vaping, which enhances both flavor and vapor production.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the perfect starter setup, be sure to explore our\u00a0ultimate beginner’s vaping guide<\/strong>!<\/p>\n One final (but crucial) factor in choosing your device is your preferred\u00a0vaping style<\/strong>\u2014and yes, it may take some practice (and a few coughs) to get comfortable, as vaping isn’t exactly like smoking.<\/p>\n There are\u00a0two primary inhalation methods<\/strong>:<\/p>\n MTL (Mouth-to-Lung):<\/strong><\/p>\n Mimics traditional smoking\u2014draw vapor into your mouth first, then inhale into your lungs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Best for\u00a0coils with 1 ohm resistance or higher<\/strong>, offering a tighter, cigarette-like draw.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n DTL (Direct-to-Lung):<\/strong><\/p>\n Preferred by experienced vapers for deep, full-lung inhales.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Delivers\u00a0bolder flavor on exhale<\/strong>, bypassing the mouth-holding step.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Typically used with\u00a0sub-ohm vapes<\/strong>\u00a0for maximum vapor production.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n <\/p>\n Disposables:<\/strong>\u00a0No-fuss, pre-filled, and disposable\u2014ideal for beginners.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Pod Kits:<\/strong>\u00a0Compact and versatile, with refillable or pre-filled pods (great for higher nicotine).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Vape Pens:<\/strong>\u00a0Slim, refillable, and longer-lasting\u2014perfect for intermediate users.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Box Mods:<\/strong>\u00a0Advanced, customizable, and powerful\u2014best for cloud chasers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Your ideal kit depends on: <\/p>\n\n
