"This e-liquid nicotine strength is juuuust right..."

Ok, that's not something Goldilocks would say, per se, but she is onto something. Just like choosing the perfect cigarette -- unfiltered, mild, ultra-light-- e-cigarette customers need to pick the appropriate nicotine strength. 

Choosing a cartomizer or e-liquid that matches your current nicotine level is essential for your initial switch from traditional cigarettes to electronic cigarettes and nicotine vaporizers.

Too low may not satisfy.

Too high may be too intense.

Like Goldilocks and her porridge, you have to find the nicotine level that is just right for you. Yes, using a children's fairytale may not be the best way to sell nicotine products. But the moral of this classic story is too perfect to pass up!

Selecting the correct nicotine level will ensure an easy and enjoyable move to e-cigs and personal vaporizers. Don't just take it from us-- most health professionals also recommend that when choosing a replacement nicotine product, finding one that contains the same amount of nicotine as the original product is crucial to a successful transition from tobacco-based cigarettes to healthier e-cigarette options. 

There are two main reasons for this. Let us break it down for you.

1. Too low -> Smoking to compensate:

Because your body has become used to having a certain amount of nicotine in it, choosing a lighter replacement than the original tobacco based cigarette will typically result in compensation smoking. This means that you will wind up smoking (or vaping) more to make up for the nicotine your body needs and craves. 

For example, if you smoke a regular strength cigarette and you choose an e-cigarette that is lighter in nicotine strength, you will unintentionally smoke (or vape) more than before to compensate for the nicotine loss and withdrawal. Your body will still crave its normal amount of nicotine and therefore you may think that the e-cigarette doesn’t work for you and you’ll go back to smoking regular cigarettes.  When, in fact, it was just a matter of customizing and changing your e-liquid nicotine strength.

2. Too high -> Too intense:

On the other hand, if you currently smoke a light tobacco based cigarette and you choose a full strength e-liquid strength, you will overload your body with more nicotine than it is used to while you were smoking tobacco-based cigarettes. The throat hit may be too much or you may experience some light-headedness. This can result in not liking the e-cigarette, when, in fact, you just have the wrong nicotine strength.

3. Just right -> :)

Finding the sweet spot makes you satisfied. So satisfied, you could crawl into a baby bear's bed for a nap. 

"Got it, Veppo. Now all we need is a handy chart.
