Things to know

PG, and VG why we use them, and how they can alter YOUR perfect VAPE!

Propylene Glycol (better known as PG) is a much thinner liquid, and holds/carries the flavor. PG produces more of a “stronger hit” (often referred to as a throat hit) than VG does, PG simulates the feeling of smoking better.

Vegetable Glycerin (better known as VG) is a dense, sugary liquid. VG is what produces the rich clouds of vapor.

So what does this mean to you? By raising the PG, and lowering the VG (say 60/40) you will get a thicker vape simulating a stronger cig (throat hit). Now if you reverse it (40/60) you will gain more vapor.

Nicotine Levels

Extra high anywhere from 25 mg-36mg which is higher than a regular full flavored cigarette.

Medium anywhere from 16 mg-24 mg of nicotine which is about as much as a regular full flavored cigarette.

Medium anywhere from 11 mg-18 mg of nicotine which is about as much as a light cigarette

Low anywhere from 6 mg-8 mg of nicotine which is about as much as an ultra light cigarette

Non-nicotine is 0mg.

The higher the nicotine level, the stronger the throat hit, which is the sensation that consumers experience at the back or their throat upon inhalation from the e-cigarette,

Overtime you can Lower your Nicotine level.

Once you become accustomed to vaping you may decide to slowly, and gradually decrease you nicotine level. You may find it more effective to start decreasing your nicotine level once you are totally free from traditional cigarettes. Most vapers really enjoy vaping, and have no desire to quit, so having the option to keep vaping with no nicotine is an added benefit to making the switch. You may have a goal to quit so month by month lower your nicotine level till one day you are nicotine free.

If you are trying to decrease your nicotine level I suggest having two different strengths on hand (24mg, and a 22mg). Some users may need a big nicotine before bed, and a much less throughout the day this is another reason having two e-juices at different nicotine strengths may come on handy.You may find yourself vaping more during a stressful situation so carry a higher nicotine level to hit when you find yourself have a stressful day. We at FSUSA offer the option to customize your nicotine strength for many reasons, and the main one is for YOU to find what works best for YOU.

Is there an odor from e-cigarettes?

The odor is barely noticeable if noticeable at all depending on which e-juice you select, and are completely unlike traditional cigarettes. Some of the e-juice does have a bit of an smell, but one that dissipates quickly and is more of a pleasant sent. Traditional cigars, and cigarettes leave a lingering smell in your home, and cars that is difficult to eliminate. Sometimes it is impossible to eliminate the smell of cigars, and/or traditional cigarettes.
