  • Choosing E-Liquid Flavors

    Choosing E-Liquid Flavors

    To quit smoking using an e-cigarette, it’s crucial to find a flavor that suits you. Choosing an e-liquid with the right flavor can make the difference between successfully quitting and relapsing. In this article, we examine the needs of recent and long-term ex-smokers, explore the pros and cons of the main flavor categories, and explain why it’s essential to test flavors before buying an e-liquid.

    The Main E-Liquid Flavor Categories

    Tobacco Flavors

    Tobacco flavors are often the first choice for smokers transitioning to vaping because they closely mimic the taste of traditional cigarettes. This familiarity can make the transition smoother and reduce the psychological gap between smoking and vaping. However, these flavors are not always as rich or satisfying as real tobacco, and some users find them disappointing after a short time. In addition, continuing to use tobacco flavors may prolong the attachment to smoking, which can slow down the process of fully moving away from cigarettes.

    Mint and Menthol Flavors

    Mint and menthol flavors offer a fresh sensation that many smokers appreciate, especially those who previously smoked menthol cigarettes. These flavors also provide a stronger throat hit, which helps replicate part of the smoking experience. On the downside, mint flavors can become overpowering with frequent use, and the range of variations is more limited compared to other categories such as fruit or dessert flavors.

    Fruit Flavors

    Fruit flavors are among the most popular choices due to their wide variety and refreshing taste. They can range from simple single-fruit options to complex blends, making them suitable for all-day vaping. Importantly, they help create a clear break from the taste of cigarettes, which can support long-term smoking cessation. However, for heavy smokers at the beginning of their journey, fruit flavors may feel too light or insufficiently satisfying. Some products can also taste overly sweet or artificial, depending on their formulation.

    Dessert and Sweet Flavors

    Dessert flavors, such as vanilla, custard, or caramel, are rich and indulgent and can provide a high level of satisfaction. They may also help compensate for sugar cravings that sometimes appear after quitting smoking. These flavors are particularly appreciated by experienced vapers who are looking for variety and enjoyment. However, they can feel heavy over time and may quickly lead to flavor fatigue. For beginners, they are not always the best starting point, as their intensity can be overwhelming.

    Choosing the Right Flavor for Your Profile

    Beginner Vapers (Quitting Smoking)

    For individuals who are just starting to vape with the goal of quitting smoking, familiarity and simplicity are essential. Tobacco flavors or menthol options, especially for those who previously smoked menthol cigarettes, can ease the transition and make the experience more comfortable. Choosing flavors that are not overly sweet or complex helps maintain consistency during the early stages. Over time, as the reliance on cigarettes decreases, gradually experimenting with fruit flavors can help create distance from tobacco and support long-term success.

    Experienced Vapers (Avoiding Relapse)

    For ex-smokers who have already transitioned away from smoking, the challenge becomes maintaining satisfaction and preventing boredom and late relapse. Relying exclusively on tobacco flavors is generally not recommended at this stage, as it can maintain a connection with past smoking habits. Instead, rotating between fruit and dessert flavors and exploring more complex combinations can keep the experience engaging. This diversity plays an important role in reducing the risk of relapse by ensuring that vaping remains enjoyable and fulfilling.

    According to our own survey of long-term vapers (former smokers who had been vaping for at least 5 years), 26% used fruit flavors, 18% used tobacco flavors, 14% used mint/menthol flavors, and the next most popular flavors were vanilla, coffee, RY4, and caramel (3–5% each).(1)

    The Importance of Testing Flavors Before Buying

    Choosing an e-liquid based solely on its description can be misleading, as taste is highly subjective. A flavor that works well for one person may be unpleasant for another. Testing flavors in a specialty store (vape shop) allows users to try different options before committing to a purchase, reducing the risk of disappointment. It also provides the opportunity to compare several flavors in a short time and to receive personalized advice from knowledgeable staff. Many users discover their preferred “all-day flavor” through this process, which can be a key factor in successfully quitting smoking.

    There is no single flavor that works for everyone. Preferences evolve over time, and what feels satisfying at one stage may change later. Being open to experimentation, switching flavors when necessary, and keeping some variety can help prevent fatigue and maintain motivation. Taking the time to test flavors in a vape shop is a simple but effective step that can significantly improve the chances of quitting smoking for good.

  • Nicotine salts

    Nicotine salts

    Here is what vapers and smokers need to know about nicotine salts in e-liquids, what “nic salts” are, the difference between protonated nicotine and freebase nicotine, why some e-liquids contain nicotine salts, who should use them and who should not, the advantages and disadvantages of e-liquids containing nicotine salts, how they change the vaping experience, and the risks and precautions for use.

    Nicotine salts, often just called “nic salts,” have dramatically changed the landscape of vaping. If you’re currently smoking or vaping, you’ve likely heard of them, especially if you’re looking for a more satisfying nicotine experience.

    What Exactly Are Nicotine Salts?

    For use in e-liquids, manufacturers modify the chemical structure of the standard nicotine (called freebase nicotine) by adding an organic acid—commonly benzoic acid. This chemical reaction creates the nicotine salt.

    The nicotine found in traditional nicotine is also extracted from tobacco and the chemically purified, it is called nicotine base or freebase.

    The crucial difference lies in the chemistry:

    FeatureFreebase Nicotine (Traditional E-liquid)Nicotine Salts (Nic Salt E-liquid)
    Chemical FormPure NicotineNicotine bound to an acid (e.g., Benzoate)
    pH LevelHigher, alkaline, pH=8Lower, acidic, pH=5-6
    Vapor FeelHarsh at high concentrationsSmooth at high concentrations
    AbsorptionAbout the sameAbout the same
    Best Used WithHigh-wattage, sub-ohm devicesLow-wattage, pod-style devices

    The Chemical Key: Freebase vs. Protonated Nicotine

    The terms freebase nicotine and protonated nicotine (which is what a nic salt is) refer to the chemical state of the nicotine molecule.

    • Freebase Nicotine: This is nicotine in its purest, deprotonated form. Because it has a high pH level (it’s alkaline), it becomes very harsh on the throat at high concentrations (typically above 12 mg/mL). The higher the concentration, the harsher the “throat hit.” This harshness means traditional high-nicotine e-liquids are often unpleasant.
    • Protonated Nicotine (Nic Salts): By adding an acid like benzoic acid, the nicotine molecule becomes protonated. This lowers the pH, making the nicotine vapor significantly smoother on the throat, even at high concentrations (up to 50 mg/mL). This smoothness is the biggest game-changer. It allows vapers to use high concentrations of nicotine without the painful throat hit.

    Why E-Liquids Contain Nicotine Salts

    The main reason manufacturers use nicotine salts is to deliver a higher nicotine dose in a smaller volume of vapor and with fewer puffs, resulting in a better user experience and less strain on the lungs from the substances contained in the vapor. The goal is to create an experience that is closer to that of smoking cigarettes and to deliver a satisfying amount of nicotine with fewer puffs, whereas vaping conventional e-liquids requires more puffs.

    • Mimics the Smoking Experience: The lower pH of nic salts leads to a easier inhalation, which is crucial for satisfying the immediate craving that ex-smokers often experience.
    • Reduced Vaping: Because nic salts are so effective at satisfying cravings quickly, many users find they don’t have to vape as frequently or as much to feel satisfied.
    • Smoother Vape: The elimination of the harsh throat hit means you can use 50 mg/mL in a small device and find it comfortable, something that would be nearly impossible with freebase nicotine.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of Nicotine Salt E-Liquids

    ✅ Advantages❌ Disadvantages
    Extremely Smooth: Comfortably allows for higher nicotine strengths.Misleading Smoothness: The lack of a harsh throat hit can mask the high nicotine concentration, potentially leading to overconsumption.
    Less frequent vaping: you can obtain a satisfying amount of nicotine in a few puffs, no more need to vape constantlyRequires specific device : Requires low-wattage devices (like pod systems) because high-wattage devices would deliver an overwhelming amount of nicotine.
    Better Flavor:The lower pH of nic salts often allows e-liquid flavors to be purer and less distorted by the taste of the alkaline freebase nicotine.Higher Cost: Nic salt e-liquids are sometimes more expensive than traditional e-liquids.
    Less E-liquid Consumption: Due to the higher strength, you use less e-liquid over time, and you expose your lung to a smaller amount of vapor.

    You also produce less vapor and disturb other people less.    		Nicotine Tolerance: Some users may develop nicotine tolerance more quickly due to the higher concentration in the e-liquid.

    Who Should Use Them and Who Should Not?

    👍 You Should Consider Nicotine Salts If:

    • You are a smoker who is new to vaping: and you want a easier, smoother inhalation, while still obtaining a satisfying amout of nicotine.
    • You’re a Heavy Smoker looking for an alternative. Nic salts can provide the high nicotine strength and quick satisfaction you need to make the switch successful.
    • You Want a Stealthier, Smaller Device. Nic salts work best in compact, low-power pod systems, which are discreet and easy to carry.
    • You Dislike the Harshness of freebase e-liquids at higher strengths.
    • You have a lung or throat disease like COPD or emphysema, you nevertheless want to vape but you want to inhale as little vapor as possible.

    👎 You Should Not Use Nicotine Salts If:

    • You Are a Casual or Light Smoker/Vaper already using 6 mg/mL or less. Nic salts may deliver too much nicotine for your needs.
    • You Use High-Wattage Devices (Sub-Ohm tanks). Nic salt concentrations are too high for powerful devices and can lead to immediate nausea or nicotine sickness.
    • You Are Trying to Taper Down Your Nicotine Intake. Starting on a high dose of nic salts may make it harder to reduce your dependency later.

    Risks and Precautions for Use ⚠️

    The main risk associated with nic salts comes from their effectiveness.

    1. Risk of Nicotine Overconsumption: The primary precaution is to be mindful of the high concentration. Because they are so smooth, it’s easy to inhale significantly more nicotine than you are used to without feeling the warning signs of a harsh throat hit. Pay attention to how you feel.
      • Symptoms of excessive nicotine intake include dizziness, nausea, headaches, and sweating. If you feel this, stop vaping immediately.
    2. Device Compatibility: avoid using high-strength nic salt e-liquids (20 mg/mL and above) in large, high-power vaping mods or sub-ohm tanks. They are designed exclusively for low-wattage Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) devices, where the vapor production is limited.

    If you’re looking for a powerful tool to transition away from smoking, nicotine salts offer a highly effective and satisfying path. Just remember to respect their potency and use them in the appropriate device.

  • Questionnaire : how much nicotine do you need?

    Questionnaire : how much nicotine do you need?

    Answer 5 questions to assess your nicotine consumption as a smoker (or your consumption when you smoked). We will then use this information to calculate the optimal nicotine concentration in your e-liquids, nicotine-based medications (patches, gum, tablets, inhalers), or nicotine pouches. Our statistics show that these 5 questions allow us to estimate your nicotine needs with twice the accuracy of using only the number of cigarettes smoked per day.

    Questionnaire:

    1- How many cigarettes do (did) you usually smoke per day?

    • 1-5 cig./day = 1 point
    • 6-10 cig./day = 2 points
    • 11-15 cig./day= 3 points
    • 16-20 cig./day= 4 points
    • 21+ cig./day = 5 points

    2- Usually, how long after waking up do (did) you smoke your first cigarette of the day?

    • 0-5 minutes = 5 points
    • 6-15 minutes = 4 points
    • 16-30 minutes = 3 points
    • 31-60 minutes = 2 points
    • Over 1 hour = 1 point

    3- On a scale of 0 to 100, indicate how heavily you smoke(d):

    • 0 = 0 point
    • 1-20 = 1 point
    • 21-40 = 2 points
    • 41-60 = 3 points
    • 61-80 = 4 points
    • 81-100 = 5 points

    4- On a scale of 0 to 10, how much smoke do you inhale each day (or inhaled when you smoked)? This amount depends on the number of cigarettes you smoke, how deeply you inhale, and the number of puffs.
    0: I do not inhale any smoke.
    10: I smoke so much that even if I tried, I could     not inhale any more smoke.

    • 0 = 0 point
    • 1-2 = 1 point
    • 3-4 = 2 points
    • 5-6 = 3 points
    • 7-8 = 4 points
    • 9-10 = 5 points

    5- Indicate the number of milligrams of nicotine listed on your cigarette packet:

    • 0.1-0.5 mg = 1 point
    • 0.6-0.7 mg = 2 points
    • 0.8 mg = 3 points
    • 0.9 mg = 4 points
    • 1.0 mg or more = 5 points

    Now, add up and calculate your total number of points (maximum = 25 points)

    Data from our studies indicate that if your total is:

    • 0-4 points, you absorb between 0 and 7 mg of nicotine per day (mean =3.4 mg / day)
    • 5-9 points, you absorb between 7 and 14 mg of nicotine per day (mean = 10 mg / day)
    • 10-14 points, you absorb between 14 and 21 mg of nicotine per day (mean = 17 mg / day)
    • 15-19 points, you absorb between 21 and 28 mg of nicotine per day (mean = 24 mg / day)
    • 20-25 points, you absorb over 30 mg of nicotine per day.

    After quitting smoking, you must continue to absorb the same amount of nicotine in order to avoid withdrawal symptoms and to prevent yourself from starting smoking again because you cannot tolerate these symptoms.

    Consume enough nicotine from e-cigarettes, nicotine-based medications, or nicotine pouches for at least 3 months after quitting smoking.

    Dosage for nicotine medications

    Nicotine replacement medications release approximately 70% of the nicotine they contain. For example, a patch containing 21 mg of nicotine releases approximately 15 mg of nicotine.

    Use this factor (x 0.7) to calculate the optimal dose of your nicotine medication. For example, if you scored 12 points on our questionnaire, you need 17 mg of nicotine per day, and a 21 mg patch plus two 2 mg gums should provide you with the necessary dose.

    Dosage for nicotine pouches

    Use the same rule (x 0.7) as for nicotine medications.

    Dosage for e-cigarettes

    For e-cigarettes, the amount of nicotine aborbed by the user depends on many factors, in addition to the nicotine concentration in the e-liquid:

    • the other characteristics of the e-liquid (flavor, nicotine salt or freebase nicotine),
    • the characteristics of the device (battery, coil, wick)
    • your own level of nicotine addiction, your personal way on inhaling (number and depth of puffs), your social environment (whereas you are around smokers and vapers).

    Nevertheless, our previous studies conducted among former smokers who successfully quit smoking using e-cigarettes, and who responded to the above questionnaire offer some insights (1, 2, 3, 4).

    Vapers who were ex-smokers and obtained :

    • 0-4 points used e-liquids containing 10 mg / mL
    • 5-9 points used e-liquids containing 10-12 mg / mL
    • 10-14 points used e-liquids containing 12 mg / mL
    • 15-19 points used e-liquids containing 16 mg / mL
    • 20-25 points used e-liquids containing 18 mg / mL

    Use these results as a guide to choose your e-liquid, and do not underdose your e-liquids, because if you do, you risk unnecessarily:

    • using too much liquid,
    • exposing your lungs to too much vapour,
    • spending too much money on e-liquids,
    • experiencing nicotine withdrawal symptoms and running the risk of relapsing into smoking.

    Remember: the right dose of nicotine is the one that eliminates nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
    Your brain acts like a thermostat, regulating the amount of nicotine you need. If you use e-liquids that do not contain enough nicotine, you will need more liquid to feel satisfied.

    There is no risk of nicotine overdose in regular smokers, as they can tell when they are consuming too much nicotine (specific taste in the mouth, sensation similar to that felt when you have smoked too much).

    4 important points to remember

    • To successfully quit smoking and avoid nicotine withdrawal symptoms, you need a sufficient amount of nicotine. Do not underdose your nicotine products.
    • You need a sufficient concentration of nicotine in your e-liquids (at least 10 mg/mL). Do not listen to retailers who insist that you buy 3 mg/mL liquids, they do this because they want to sell you more liquid.
    • Purchase your electronic cigarettes and e-liquids from a specialist shop rather than a kiosk or online, as the sales staff in these shops can advise you and allow you to try and taste different products until you find the one that best suits your needs.
    • The advice provided here does not replace that of a doctor or psychologist specialising in the treatment of nicotine addiction.

  • Nicotine strength for e-cigs

    Nicotine strength for e-cigs

    It is essential to choose the right nicotine concentration for your e-liquid: here is a brief explanation of how to do this. We have also developed a brief questionnaire to help you choose the nicotine concentration you need.

    What nicotine strength for my e-cigarette?

    If the nicotine level in your e-liquid is too low, you may not get enough nicotine, you may experience nicotine withdrawal symptoms and you may start smoking again. In addition, you will expose your lungs to excessive amounts of vapour, as you will vape more to achieve a satisfactory level of nicotine in your blood and brain. You will also need to buy more e-liquid to get the amount of nicotine your brain needs.

    With too high a nicotine level, you will experience throat irritation that will prevent you from inhaling, but there is no risk of overdose, as you will automatically stop inhaling when you have obtained the necessary dose of nicotine or when you feel signs of excessive dosing.

    The amount of nicotine you get from an e-cigarette:

    There is no simple calculation to convert the number of cigarettes you smoked per day into mg/mL (milligrams of nicotine per millilitre of e-liquid), because the amount of nicotine you get from your e-cigarette depends on the interaction of 3 factors, the liquid, the hardware and yourself :

    The liquid:

    • its nicotine concentration,
    • the chemical form of nicotine (salt or freebase),
    • the flavor (people tend to vape more if they like the flavor),
    • the amount of liquid you use per day,

    The hardware:

    • the battery, its tension measured in Volt (V), its duration,
    • the coil, its composition, its resistance (R) measured in Ohm,
    • the power of the device measured in Watt (W)
    • the wick.

    Yourself:

    • your level of nicotine addiction, as your brain acts as a thermostat and regulates the amount of nicotine you need,
    • your behavior: the number, frequency and volume of puffs, the depth of inhalation, how long you hold your breath between inhalation and exhalation,
    • your social interactions (people tend to vape more if they are around other smokers and vapers than if they are around people who disapprove of their vaping).

    A questionnaire to calculate the amount of nicotine you need:

    You can use our short questionnaire to help you calculate the optimal nicotine concentration for your e-liquid, this concentration will be determined by the number of point you obtain. Vapers who successfully quit smoking and answered our questionnaire and obtained :

    • 0-4 points used e-liquids containing 10 mg / mL
    • 5-9 points used e-liquids containing 10-12 mg / mL
    • 10-14 points used e-liquids containing 12 mg / mL
    • 15-19 points used e-liquids containing 16 mg / mL
    • 20-25 points used e-liquids containing 18 mg / mL

    The amount of nicotine you get from smoking a cigarette:

    The amount of nicotine you absorb when smoking a cigarette depends largely on your own behaviour, not just on the characteristics of the cigarette itself. Each manufactured cigarette contains between 6 and 17 milligrams (mg) of nicotine, but smokers only inhale between 1 and 2 mg of nicotine per cigarette. The number of nicotine mg indicated on cigarette packets is not useful, as it is obtained from machines that do not perfectly replicate your own behaviour. As a result, these figures often underestimate the amount you absorb when smoking a cigarette.

    Furthermore, the relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked per day and the concentration of nicotine in the blood is not linear (it does not increase significantly beyond 20 cigarettes per day).Therefore, you cannot use your number of cigarettes per day and the nicotine concentration indicated on your cigarette pack to calculate or deduce the amount of nicotine you absorb each day with your e-cigarette.

  • E-cigarette

    E-cigarette

    For decades, aids to quit smoking were,limited: counseling, and approved medications like nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). The arrival of e-cigarettes—or vaping—has radically complicated that equation, offering smokers a potentially more effective, yet controversial, tool in their cessation journey. The core debate centers on one critical point: are these devices a vital bridge to a smoke-free life, or are they a Trojan horse that risks creating a new generation of nicotine users?

    Efficacy: Vaping vs. Nicotine Medications

    The effectiveness of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation has become the subject of intense international research. The most rigorous systematic reviews, which pool data from multiple randomized controlled trials, now provide strong evidence that nicotine e-cigarettes are more effective than traditional NRT (such as patches, gum, or lozenges) at helping people quit smoking entirely.

    In absolute terms, research suggests that for every 100 people using nicotine e-cigarettes to quit, 8 to 11 people might successfully stop smoking. This superiority is believed to stem from e-cigarettes’ ability to mimic the hand-to-mouth ritual, the throat hit, and the fast nicotine delivery that smokers are accustomed to, addressing both the chemical and behavioral aspects of addiction simultaneously.

    Who Should and Should Not Use E-Cigarettes

    E-cigarettes are not a universally recommended :

    • Who Should Consider Them: E-cigarettes are primarily recommended for adult smokers who want to stop smoking. For this group, switching completely to vaping nicotine is recognized by many health bodies as significantly less harmful than continuing to smoke combustible cigarettes, as it eliminates tar and carbon monoxide.
    • Who Should Not Use Them: The consensus among public health experts is clear: non-smokers, especially young people and never-users of tobacco, should not use e-cigarettes. Nicotine is addictive. Furthermore, pregnant women should rely on licensed NRT products under medical supervision as the primary medication path, although some health guidance suggests vaping is still safer than continuing to smoke during pregnancy.

    The Most Effective Vaping Devices

    The efficacy of e-cigarettes depends heavily on the device type. Smokers who use rechargeable systems with higher nicotine concentrations—often pod devices or tank systems—tend to have greater success in quitting. These devices deliver nicotine more effectively and mimic the rapid “nicotine hit” of a traditional cigarette better than other models. The goal is to provide a satisfying nicotine dose that fully suppresses the cravings for tobacco smoke.

    Adverse Effects: What is the Real Risk?

    While vaping is widely considered less harmful than smoking because it eliminates combustion and its resulting toxins (tar, carbon monoxide), it is not harmless. The aerosol contains a variety of potentially toxic substances, although in concentrations much lower than in tobacco smoke.

    The most commonly reported adverse effects are non-serious, such as throat or mouth irritation, cough, nausea, and headache, which often diminish over time. However, the long-term effects of inhaling heated e-cigarette aerosols and flavorings remain under intense study.

    The Absolute Rule: Not One Puff

    The crucial step for any smoker attempting to quit with e-cigarettes is total and immediate cessation of combustible tobacco. Using both e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes, known as dual use, is counterproductive as it increases the risk of relapsing to smoking. Smoking even a few tobacco cigarettes a day can still carry substantial health risks. E-cigarettes should be used as a complete, 100% substitute for all smoked tobacco products. Failure to adhere to a zero-tolerance policy for tobacco smoke significantly diminishes your chances of quitting smoking.

    The Controversy: A Public Health Paradox

    The role of e-cigarettes in public health is fiercely debated. Proponents view them as a game-changing harm reduction tool that saves millions of lives by moving people away from deadly smoke. They point to countries that have embraced vaping and seen rapid declines in smoking rates.

    Critics, however, raise serious public health concerns:

    • Youth Uptake: The appealing flavors and sleek designs of many e-cigarettes have led to alarming rates of use among adolescents who had never smoked.
    • Gateway Effect: There are still concerns that vaping could act as a gateway and increase the likelihood that non-smokers will switch to traditional cigarettes later in life. However, this point is controversial, and not all experts agree that there is a significant gateway effect. They point to the declining prevalence of smoking among young people in countries where vaping among young people is on the rise.
    • Permanent Dependency: There is worry that many successful quitters may remain dependent on the e-cigarette indefinitely, which, while safer than smoking, is not risk-free.

    E-cigarettes present policymakers and individuals with a difficult trade-off: they must weigh the proven health risks of smoking against the uncertain risks of long-term nicotine vaping. For current smokers, however, the emerging scientific consensus offers a pragmatic choice: switching completely to a non-combustible product is far healthier than smoking.
