What Does 3Mg Nicotine Level and 30Ml Syrup Mean

For vapers, finding the right nicotine level is absolutely essential for making sure the vaping experience is safe and enjoyable. Sometimes, however, the numbers on the side of the bottles or on manufacturers’ websites can be slightly confusing. What exactly does it mean if a vape juice has a 3mg nicotine level and 30ml syrup? Our handy guide will help you understand this important piece of information. Understanding nicotine strength and what level suits you best is one of the main hurdles to enjoying a great vaping experience.

First, we need to understand some basic terms and figures.

Nicotine level explained

The amount of nicotine contained in an e-liquid is written as a number of milligrams. The higher the amount of nicotine in an e-juice, the stronger the vape and the "throat hit" it will bring. An e-liquid that contains 0mg of nicotine, as you might expect, has no nicotine in it at all. Other common nicotine levels available are 3mg, 6mg and 12mg. Nicotine levels of 18mg and 24mg are also available but are less common and are often used by those who were once heavy cigarette smokers. The nicotine level you select for your vape is determined by the throat hit you want to get, the taste you want to achieve and, if you used to smoke cigarettes, how many you had each day.

Nicotine strengths of 3mg, 6mg and 12mg are considered the standard levels in the vaping industry.

Sometimes the nicotine strength can be expressed as a percentage, although this is becoming less common. This means a 0.3% nicotine strength e-juice has 3mg, while 0.6% refers to a 6mg strength and so on. To convert nicotine level from a percentage, simply multiply it by 10.

A 3mg nicotine level explained

A liquid that contains 3mg nicotine has 3mg of nicotine per ml of liquid. This means that in a 20ml bottle, there are 20ml of liquid, with 3mg of nicotine in each ml. 3mg nicotine is a good choice for vapers who were once light smokers or who are in the process of reducing their nicotine intake.

A 3mg nicotine level and 30 ml syrup explained

If a vape juice has 30ml of syrup and a nicotine level of 3mg, it means there is 3mg of nicotine for every 1ml of liquid.

30ml x 3mg= 90mg.

This means that altogether, that 30ml of syrup contains 90mg of nicotine.
