Nicotine strength What the numbers on the bottle mean
A bottle marked 3 mg and a disposable marked 5% are speaking the same language with different accents. Two minutes here and every label on the wall reads clearly.
The unit: milligrams per milliliter
The number is a concentration. A 3 mg label means 3 milligrams of nicotine in each milliliter of liquid; it says nothing about the bottle size. A 100 mL bottle of 3 mg and a 30 mL bottle of 3 mg are the same strength, one just lasts longer. When a label reads as a percent instead, multiply by ten to get mg/mL: 5% is 50 mg, 3% is 30 mg. Same measurement, two notations.
Why the ranges look so different
Strength ranges follow formulation. Freebase liquid carries a throat hit that scales with the number, so it is bottled low; nearly the entire freebase wall here sits at 0, 3, or 6 mg. Salt formulations soften that feel, which is why they are bottled at 25 through 55 mg for small pod devices. The salt vs freebase guide covers why; the short version is that a high number on a salt bottle and a low number on a freebase bottle are both normal, and hardware determines which shelf you shop.
Reading the menu with this
Every flavor on the menu lists its available strengths right on the card, and you can filter the wall by strength bucket. Which number belongs in your hand is a conversation for the counter, where the staff can see your device and you can see the bottle. This page just makes sure the labels are not a foreign language when you get there.
Strength labels, asked and answered
Is 5% the same as 50 mg?
Yes. Percent labels are just mg/mL divided by ten: 5% equals 50 mg/mL, 2.5% equals 25 mg/mL. Disposables tend to use the percent style, bottled e-liquid tends to use mg, and they describe the exact same measurement.
What does 0 mg mean?
Flavor with no nicotine in the liquid. A good chunk of our freebase wall comes in 0 mg for people who vape for the flavor alone. Store rules do not change: 21 and over, ID checked, same as everything else we sell.
Why does the same flavor show two different strength lists?
Because it comes in two formulations. The freebase version of a flavor might list 0, 3, and 6 mg while its salt version lists 25 and 50 mg. The menu shows every strength the shop lists for each bottle, so the tags tell you which format you are looking at.
