A lower strength on the bottle is not enough to describe your consumption. The amount of liquid used and your habits also matter.
Understand the units
A value in mg/ml describes a concentration. For example, 10 ml at 6 mg/ml contains a total of 60 mg of nicotine in the liquid. This calculation does not represent the amount absorbed by your body.
Keep a simple record
You can record the nicotine strength, the volume of liquid used and when cravings are strongest. This record helps you discuss your progress with a professional. It cannot automatically convert vaping into a number of cigarettes.
Change one thing at a time
The NHS recommends paying attention to how you feel when lowering nicotine strength. Vaping more after a reduction may indicate that the change was too fast. Avoid applying the same programme to everyone.
If your goal is to stop nicotine completely, support can help you decide on the next steps. Also see our page about nicotine strengths.
