We have based the following information on our own range of Cigalike, Pod and E-Liquid products. However, you can use these nicotine strength guidelines to apply to any brand or type of similar vape product.
Cigalike E Cig Refill Nicotine Strengths
Our OK Cigalike Classic starter kits come with one 18mg and one 12mg nicotine refill in Tobacco or Menthol flavour. This allows you to try both strengths to help gauge which strength will be right for you.
However, we also sell our packs of cigalike refills in 20mg, 6mg and nicotine free strengths.
Which Refill Nicotine Strength Should I Choose?
The following table lists the most common refill nicotine strengths, along with recommendations for who each strength will be most suitable for.
You can use this table to help you work out which nicotine strength you should choose.
Nicotine Content Recommended For Flavours
20mg Nicotine These are usually suitable for those who smoke the stronger nicotine strength cigarettes such as Benson & Hedges Gold, Lambert & Butler Silver and Superkings.
If this strength makes you feel nauseous or lightheaded, try 18mg refills instead.
20mg Tobacco E Cig Refills
18mg Nicotine This strength is usually a good place to start. They tend suit users of cigarettes such as JPS Blue, Pall Mall Red, Superking Blue, Marlborough Red or Mayfair.
If you find that this strength doesn't satisfy your cravings, try the Extra High strength.
If 18mg makes you feel nauseous or lightheaded, move down to 12mg.
18mg Tobacco E Cig Refills
12mg Nicotine For users of medium to light strength nicotine cigarettes such as Marlborough lights, Silk Cut, Pall Mall Blue or B&H Silver or for those who are light to medium smokers.
This strength also might suit those who use rolling tobacco.
12mg Tobacco E Cig Refills
6mg Nicotine Great for current vapers looking to lower their nicotine intake.
Lighter smokers may also find 6mg is enough to help them make the switch to vaping.
6mg Tobacco E Cig Refills
0mg Nicotine Free For those looking to completely cut-out nicotine. If you're completely new to vaping you may find it easier to start with some nicotine content to help with cravings.

Pod Refill & Nicotine Salt Strengths
Nicotine salts, otherwise known as 'nic salts', are a great choice for beginners as they produce a stronger, smoother vapour than 'freebase nicotine' (the type found in most regular e liquids).
Another benefit to nicotine salt e liquids is that they provide a faster nicotine hit, helping to stave off cravings. Read our guide to nicotine salts if you'd like to find out more.
Most pod vape devices are designed for use with nicotine salt pods (or nicotine salt e liquid where the device features refillable pods),
as they lend themselves very well to this type of device. OK Pod refills are designed to work with the OK Pod device.
These refills are supplied in packs of 3 in a range of 6 flavours, with each pod containing 2ml of nicotine salt e-liquid.
