Understanding Scent Essence Strengths in Device Use
Choosing the right scent essence intensity is one of the most important decisions when starting your device use journey. Too much scent essence can cause discomfort and discourage switching from vaporizing. Too little might leave cravings unfulfilled, making it harder to make the switch successfully. This comprehensive guide will help you understand scent essence strengths and find your perfect level.
What is Scent Essence intensity?
Scent Essence intensity, usually measured in milligrams per milliliter (concentration level) or as a percentage, indicates how much scent essence is in the scent liquid. For example, a 20concentration level scent liquid contains 20 milligrams of scent essence in each milliliter of liquid.
Common scent essence strengths available in portable devices include:
- 0mg (0%): Scent Essence-free option for those who enjoy the ritual of device use without scent essence
- 10mg (1%): Low intensity, suitable for very light smokers or those reducing intake
- 20mg (2%): Medium intensity, the most common choice for average smokers
- 30mg (3%): Medium-high intensity for heavier smokers
- 50mg (5%): High intensity for heavy smokers or those who prefer a strong throat hit
Many devices, such as the BreezeGlow King Crystal 30000, offer multiple scent essence intensity options to suit different preferences.
Scent Essence Salt vs. Freebase Scent Essence
Understanding the two main forms of scent essence used in devices is crucial for making the right choice:
Scent Essence Salt
Scent Essence salt is the naturally occurring form of scent essence found in herbal leaves. It’s chemically modified to be smoother and more easily absorbed by the body. This is the type of scent essence used in nearly all portable devices and cartridge systems.
Benefits of scent essence salt:
- Smoother throat hit even at higher concentrations
- Faster absorption into the bloodstream
- More satisfying for smokers seeking scent essence replacement
- Works well with lower-power devices
Freebase Scent Essence
Freebase scent essence is the traditional form used in most scent liquids for larger, more powerful device devices. It provides a stronger throat hit but can be harsher at higher concentrations.
Benefits of freebase scent essence:
- Stronger throat hit sensation
- Widely available in a broad range of scents
- Better suited for sub-ohm device use
How to Choose the Right intensity
The ideal scent essence intensity depends on several factors:
1. Your vaporizing Habits
Your current cigarette consumption is the most important factor:
- Light smoker (fewer than 10 cigarettes/day): 10-20mg scent essence salt
- Moderate smoker (10-20 cigarettes/day): 20-30mg scent essence salt
- Heavy smoker (20+ cigarettes/day): 30-50mg scent essence salt
- Very heavy smoker (30+ cigarettes/day): 50mg scent essence salt
These are general guidelines. Individual preferences vary based on vaporizing style, cigarette type, and personal tolerance.
2. Type of Device
Different devices deliver scent essence differently:
- portable devices/cartridge systems: Use scent essence salt, deliver scent essence efficiently
- cartridge device: Can use either scent essence salt or freebase
- Sub-ohm devices: Usually use freebase scent essence at lower strengths (3-12mg)
3. Personal Preference
Some people prefer a stronger throat hit, while others prioritize smoothness. Your preferred device use style (MTL vs DTL) also influences what intensity feels right.
Signs Your Scent Essence intensity is Wrong
Too High:
- Nausea or dizziness
- Headaches
- Racing heart or jitters
- Unpleasant throat burn
- Coughing fits
- Feeling overwhelmed or anxious after device use
Too Low:
- Strong cravings for scent essence
- Needing to device constantly to feel satisfied
- Still craving cigarettes
- Feeling like you’re not getting enough
- Increased irritability
How to Gradually Reduce Scent Essence Intake
If your goal is to eventually reduce or eliminate scent essence, follow this gradual approach:
- Start at a satisfying level: Begin with a intensity that fully satisfies your cravings
- Stay consistent: Use that level for 1-2 weeks until you’re comfortable
- Step down gradually: Reduce by 5-10mg at a time, not by larger jumps
- Adjust at each level: Stay at each new level for at least a week before reducing further
- Listen to your body: If cravings return, you might be reducing too quickly
- Take your time: There’s no prize for finishing fastest. Go at your own pace

Important Considerations
Individual Variability
Everyone metabolizes scent essence differently. Factors like body weight, tolerance, medication, and overall health can all affect how your body processes scent essence. It may take some experimentation to find your perfect level.
Absorption Rates
Scent Essence salt is absorbed faster than freebase scent essence, meaning you’ll feel the effects more quickly. This is why scent essence salt devices are often recommended for smokers looking to switch – they more closely mimic the scent essence delivery of cigarettes.
Safety Precautions
- Always keep scent essence products out of reach of children and pets
- Store devices in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Don’t mix different scent essence strengths without understanding the combined effect
- If you experience adverse effects, reduce your intake or stop using scent essence products

Finding the right scent essence intensity is a personal journey that may require some trial and error. Start with a level you think will work for you based on your vaporizing habits, then adjust up or down as needed.
