Okay, so I decided to try out this 1 percent nicotine vape thing. I’d heard some mixed things, and I was curious to see what the fuss was all about. I went to the local vape shop – you know, the one with all the crazy flavors and flashing lights? – and picked up a disposable one. They had a bunch of options, but I figured I’d start with something simple, so I grabbed a basic mint flavor.
First impression? This thing was way smaller than I expected. It’s like the size of a USB stick, pretty discreet. I took a puff, and… not much happened, honestly. It was a little minty, sure, but it didn’t really hit me like I thought it would. I took a few more puffs, trying to figure it out. It felt kind of… blurry, I guess? Like I was a little bit spaced out, but not in a bad way. I definitely felt more relaxed, maybe even a little bit of that “euphoria” people talk about.

I used it on and off throughout the day. It wasn’t like I was chained to the thing, but I did find myself reaching for it every now and then. It was more of a subtle feeling than anything else. The vape did have a bit of a harsh hit on the throat, but I guess that is to be expected with a higher strength.
Here is what I experienced:
- Felt relaxed, kind of like a gentle buzz.
- A little bit spacey, but not in a bad way.
- Didn’t really crave it, but used it occasionally.
- The disposable one lasted a few days, which was pretty good.
Would I do it again? Maybe. I mean, it wasn’t life-changing or anything, but it was a different experience. This kind of feels like it could become a habit if I’m not careful. It’s easy to see why people get hooked on these things, even with just 1 percent nicotine. I don’t think I am going to use it every day, but on days that I am very stressed, I might use it to take the edge off.
My final thought
If you’re thinking about trying a 1 percent nicotine vape, just be aware that it’s not nothing. It’s still nicotine, and it can still affect you. Start slow, see how you feel, and don’t overdo it. And honestly, if you’ve never vaped before, maybe this isn’t the best place to start. There are plenty of nicotine-free options out there if you just want to try the flavors or the sensation of vaping without the addictive stuff. Stay safe, folks!
