Which strength should I use?

Depending on what your individual preference is, and whether or not you are just starting out or if you're an experienced vapor, will dictate what strength you should go with. 

  • 25mg - 50mg nicotine salt. These are best suited for those looking for an experience that mimicks traditional cigarettes. The strongest when it comes to strength and recommended only for use with mouth to lung devices. They have strong nicotine levels and certainly give an extra kick.
  • 12mg - 18mg Nicotine. These are good strengths for people coming off smoking mild or low strength cigarettes.
  • 3 to 6mg is a popular strength range for larger refillable devices, drippers and rebuildable devices.
  • 0mg is purely for the vaping experience and those looking for a pure flavour vape without the nicotine.

We encourage people to get in touch with us if they're unsure about any of our devices and which liquids they should use with them. Depending what you are specifically after, our team will be able to find a solution specifically for you.

What do you use in your E-Liquid?

Depending on the individual liquid, the ingredients will change. However, all of the products that we stock are craft and made with quality ingredients.

Nicotine: A stimulant that can come from the tobacco plant or manufactured synthetically. We use highly purified/ USP grade/ pharmaceutical grade nicotine only. 

Nicotine Salts: are the natural state of nicotine in the tobacco leaf. They are compounds consisting of free base nicotine bound to one or more organic constituents. Naturally, nicotine does not exist on its own in the tobacco leaf.

Propylene Glycol (PG) & Glycerine (VG): Are clear liquids that are used to create a visible vapour, and are commonly used by the medical, food & beauty industries.

Benzoic acid: A naturally occurring ingredient, found in tobacco and other substances. When combined with nicotine, it helps provide cigarette-like satisfaction. (Only used in our Nicotine Salt variants)

Flavours: Our flavours consist of both naturally occurring and artificial ingredients. 

Nicotine Salt vs Freebase purified Nicotine: Standard free base nicotine is a single molecule, while nicotine salts are complexes. Nicotine salt is much more suitable to vaporization due to its preferential inhalation characteristics. Nicotine salts also offer a way of stabilizing the nicotine molecule. This extends the shelf life of nicotine, by means of making it is less prone to oxidation.

We're happy to provide you with the ingredients in any liquid if you want to get in touch.  

What flavour e-liquids do you stock?

We have a range of flavours from tobacco, menthol, strawberry cheesecake, sakura tea, apple, watermelon and rum and coke. If you'd like to take a look at our flavours head to our e-liquids page or come in store to give them a try.
