Do you have some New Year Resolutions? Or are you looking to start the new year by changing to some healthier habits? Well we are here to help you create these changes and get the ball rolling to a healthier you!
One of the first steps we recommend taking when starting your journey to quit vaping is to slowly and gradually reduce your nicotine intake. So here we have written a blog to help guide you on your path to a NEW YOU!
We have found that many of our customers are unsure of the nicotine strength they vape. So for a simple way of putting it for anyone unsure or new to understanding nicotine strengths, most of the disposable vapes you may use are usually 20mg of nicotine. Unless you are asking for a lower strength of nicotine when you go into a shop, you will be more than likely vaping 20mg strength. Do not be alarmed as this is the common strength and we are here to help you start cutting it down from today!
So where do you start??
Firstly you would need to invest in a refillable vape device. These can range from £14.99 to £40+ if you want to check out our range of vape kits here and find one to get you started. Once you have your kit it's a matter of finding the perfect juice for you. If you usually buy disposable vapes then we would recommend using Nic Salts. These once again usually come in 20mg, 10mg & 5mg nicotine strengths.
One of our most popular Nic Salt ranges is BIG SALTS. These are great as you are getting 60ml of vape juice and it's all contained in one bottle (sometimes the smaller bottles easily go missing or get lost). With our BIG SALT range, you can choose what strength you would like. Your BIG SALT vape juice will be made up to suit you. The highest strength of nicotine is 20mg, then we have 10mg and 5mg. If you are looking to lower your nicotine intake we would strongly advise you to lower your dosage slowly, therefore if you usually take 20mg of Nicotine, we would suggest you switch to 10mg. The good thing about BIG SALTS is it is the same flavour and the same nicotine-to-juice ratio so the thickness of the juice will not change.
One more thing is to be more mindful of how much you are vaping throughout your day. When you decrease your Nicotine intake it is common to increase your vaping alongside this. Therefore, we suggest to be more aware of the frequency you are vaping and try to reduce the number of puffs over time to help your body adapt.
Another top tip we have is to find a flavour that satisfies you! You may not think this is too important, but when you find the perfect flavour that you genuinely enjoy it will make reducing your nicotine feel less like a challenge and more like a positive change.
Why lower your nicotine intake?
The main benefits of lowering your nicotine intake would be:
1. Less Dependency: Reducing nicotine means less reliance on it over time.
2. Improved Flavour Experience: Lower nicotine levels often allow for better flavour clarity in e-liquids.
3. Smoother Vaping Experience: Less throat hits can make vaping more enjoyable.
4. Cost Savings: Lower-strength nic salts may lead to lower consumption, ultimately saving you money.
5. Better Lung Health: Reducing nicotine intake can decrease irritation to your respiratory system, leading to improved lung function and easier breathing.
6. Reduced Heart Risks: Lower nicotine levels can contribute to better cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of high blood pressure and heart-related issues.
7. Enhanced Mental Clarity: Many users report improved focus and anxiety as they lower their nicotine intake, leading to overall better well-being.
8. Greater Freedom: Cutting down on nicotine allows you to have more control over your vaping habits, reducing cravings and making it easier to quit entirely if desired.
So... overall by adding all these small changes into your lifestyle, you will gradually reduce your nicotine intake without any big changes. This will make the switch easier as you won’t be stepping down too quickly and become overwhelmed. The key is to listen to your body and reduce at a pace that works for you!
