Choosing a Vape Nicotine Strength

So you're looking for a smoke-free alternative, but you don't know what nicotine strength to choose. Knowing how to navigate nicotine strength in e-liquids and disposable vapes can help you manage your consumption.

Read on to learn more about the nicotine content of Vuse e-liquids and disposable vapes.

What is nicotine?

Nicotine is an ingredient in many e-liquids and disposable vapes (nicotine-free e-liquids are also available).

In Canada, vaping products are regulated by Health Canada.

What do the numbers on e-liquids mean?

The numbers on e-liquid bottles can indicate several things, including, but not limited to, the concentration of nicotine. Legal vaping substances now contain 0 to 20 mg/ml of nicotine 3.

12mg

This number means there are 12 milligrams (mg) of nicotine per millilitre (mL) of e-liquid (12 mg/mL).

20mg

20 mg/mL is the maximum nicotine concentration allowed in vaping products in Canada.

Some Vuse e-liquids list nicotine strength as a percentage. For example, 1.8% is equivalent to 20 mg/mL.

Choosing a nicotine strength

The Nicotine Concentration in Vaping Products Regulations (NCVPR) establish a maximum nicotine concentration of 20 mg/mL for vaping products manufactured or imported for sale in Canada 2.
