20mg
A lot of people end up at 20mg without really planning to , they’re either coming straight off cigarettes and need something that actually feels like it, or they’ve been creeping up in strength for a while and 20mg’s just where they landed. It’s the…
highest nicotine strength you’ll legally find in UK e-liquids, so for anyone who needs a proper hit, this is as strong as it gets.
At Vape Deal UK the 20mg range covers most of the flavours people are already buying at lower strengths, so switching up to 20mg doesn’t mean giving up the taste you’ve already settled on.
Why 20mg E-Liquids Work So Well
It’s mostly about not feeling short-changed. A 20mg bottle, especially in nic salt form, gives you a hit that’s actually comparable to a cigarette, which matters a fair bit if you’ve just quit smoking and lower strengths haven’t been cutting it. There’s a real difference between vaping something that satisfies you properly and vaping something that just feels like going through the motions.
That’s really the case for 20mg once you’ve worked out that anything lower just isn’t hitting hard enough. If you’ve tried 10mg or 12mg and kept finding yourself vaping more than you’d like just to feel something, 20mg tends to sort that out properly , fewer puffs needed, less liquid burned through chasing a feeling that wasn’t quite there before.
Almost all 20mg e-liquid comes as nic salts rather than freebase, mainly because freebase nicotine at that strength gets harsh fast. Nic salts absorb quicker and feel smoother even at the top end, which is exactly why 20mg and nic salts tend to go hand in hand , check out the nicotine salt e-liquids range to see what’s available.
Nicotine Strength Options in 20mg Bottles
There’s not much to choose between here, since 20mg is already the strongest you’ll find , but how it’s delivered still varies a bit depending on what you’re after.
- 20mg nic salts , the standard option, smooth even at full strength
- 20mg freebase , less common, can feel harsher on the throat than salts at the same level
- Pairing with a higher-PG device , pod kits and MTL setups handle 20mg better than sub-ohm tanks ever would
Most people land on 20mg nic salts specifically because freebase at this strength just isn’t comfortable for most throats. If you’ve tried freebase at lower strengths and never had an issue, it’s still worth trying nic salts at 20mg before assuming freebase will feel the same , it usually doesn’t.
Flavours Available in 20mg Bottles
Same flavours as you’d find at any other strength, just dialled up to the maximum nicotine level. Strawberry, pineapple, and grape cover most of the fruity end, with cherry and blueberry close behind. Mint and menthol if you want something cooler. Cola and cherry cola for anyone after something a bit more old-school.
Because 20mg is usually bought by people who need nicotine rather than people experimenting with flavours, it’s worth picking something you already know you like rather than testing something new at the highest strength. If you’re not sure on a flavour, it’s generally smarter to try it lower down first , maybe even at 0mg , and only buy it at 20mg once you know it’s one you’ll actually stick with.
Compatible Devices
Pod kits and MTL tanks are really where 20mg belongs. Sub-ohm tanks and higher-wattage devices push through liquid too fast at this strength, and the nicotine hit ends up far stronger than anyone actually wants; 20mg is built around small, controlled puffs rather than big direct-lung clouds. Stick to a proper pod kit or MTL setup and you’ll get the most out of it.

FAQs
Is 20mg the strongest e-liquid you can buy in the UK?
Yes, 20mg is the legal maximum nicotine strength for e-liquids under UK regulations.
Is 20mg better as nic salts or freebase?
Nic salts, almost always. Freebase at 20mg tends to feel harsher on the throat than salts at the same strength.
Is 20mg too strong for someone who’s never smoked?
Generally yes. It’s aimed at heavier smokers switching over, not casual or first-time vapers.
Can I use 20mg e-liquid in any device?
Best suited to pod kits and MTL tanks. Sub-ohm devices burn through it too fast and deliver far more nicotine than intended.
