      I’ve vaped since 2013 and have literally never heard of this. Could be regional 💁‍♂️

          50mg is also a metric fucton of nic in a vape. My strong mixes are 13mg, and low nic is 4mg.

              When vapes came out and the devices were shitty and produced low amounts of vapor, the highest I saw was 30mg and 24mg, and the “marlboro red” equivalent was 18mg.

      Around these places, if anyone asks for “50% nic liquid”, they’d be promptly kicked out of the store. Chances are, that’d be kids that don’t know pure nicotine is ~1010mg/mL, or they do know and are asking for something highly illegal.

      Are you sure you’re not confusing it with PG/VG composition?

        I’ll chime in and say that 20mg is the highest legally sold concentration where I live. Mine is a small country though. I know Germany and Canada have the same max.

          Around here up until recently there were freebase liquids up to 24 and salts up to 65. You could even get your hands on 100mg freebase concentrate if you’re a shop owner or eliquid producer. But just a couple months earlier a law passed that limits all to 20 and puts extortionate taxes on all liquids no matter the concentration. Two of the biggest franchises straight up closed their entire businesses the moment it went through. The rest posted own obituaries on their sites about how fucked they are and how they are basically hanging by the thread now. But I think they’ve overreacted. Sure, the prices would go up at least 7 times, but in neighboring countries the limits are as low as 3mg if not outright banned, but business is still going. I myself just bought out the entire shelf from one of smaller stores that sold old stock from under the counter. Should last me until winter, but I think I’ll have to move to some better place by then.
