Choosing a Vape Nicotine Strength

Jan 15, 2025 • 3 min read

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 nicotine3.

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 Canada2.

 

Choosing nicotine strength is about your previous experience and expectations. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. You can adjust your nicotine consumption as needed.

 

For the most current and comprehensive information on nicotine strength regulations and health effects in Canada, refer to Health Canada’s official resources.

 

You can learn more about Vuse e-liquids and disposable vapes on the Vuse blog, which includes guides on where you can vape, how to responsibly dispose of your Vuse vape devices, and up-to-date vaping laws in Canada.
