Every e-liquid in Canada lists its nicotine strength in milligrams per millilitre, written as mg/mL. It's a concentration, not a total. "20 mg/mL" means every millilitre of liquid contains 20 milligrams of nicotine. "6 mg/mL" means 6 milligrams per millilitre. The bottle size doesn't change the strength; a 30ml bottle and a 60ml bottle at 6 mg/mL are equally strong, one just holds more.
Two products in our catalogue show the range well. Flavour Beast 30mL Juice is a 20 mg/mL e-liquid in a 30ml bottle, with 46 variants to choose from. Kapow! 60ml is a 6 mg/mL e-liquid in a 60ml bottle, with one of its seven variants also offered at 3 mg/mL. Same kind of product, very different strengths, and they're built for different devices.
You'll sometimes see strength written as a percentage instead, mostly on products from other markets. The conversion is simple: divide mg/mL by ten. So 20 mg/mL is 2%, 6 mg/mL is 0.6%, and 3 mg/mL is 0.3%. If a percentage ever works out to more than 20 mg/mL when you convert it, that product can't be legally sold in Canada.
That's the key limit to know. Since 2021, federal regulations have capped nicotine concentration in vaping products at 20 mg/mL, across every province. The strongest e-liquid you can legally buy here is a 20 mg/mL bottle like Flavour Beast 30mL Juice. There's no stronger legal option, from us or anyone else.
So why would anyone choose 6 or 3 when 20 is available? Because the right strength depends on the device, not just on the person. A tight, low-wattage pod — the kind that mimics the draw of a cigarette — sends a small amount of vapour per puff. Higher concentrations, usually as nicotine salt, are common in that setup, somewhere between 12 and 20 mg/mL. A looser, higher-wattage device sends much more vapour per puff. At that volume, a strong concentration becomes harsh, so people usually run something in the 0 to 6 mg/mL range.
That's why the two bottles here come in different sizes, too. Higher-output devices go through e-liquid faster, so lower-strength e-liquids tend to come in bigger bottles. Tight pods use liquid slowly, so a 30ml bottle of stronger e-liquid lasts a long time in one.
There's also a difference in the nicotine itself. Nicotine salt, common in 20 mg/mL e-liquids, is formulated to stay smoother at higher concentrations. Freebase nicotine, common in lower-strength bottles, gets noticeably harsher as the number climbs. That chemistry is part of why the market settled into the pattern it has.
How do you pick? Start with the device. If you're using a tight pod or a mouth-to-lung setup, a 20 mg/mL bottle like Flavour Beast is the usual match. If you're using a device you've set for a bigger, looser draw, a 6 mg/mL bottle like Kapow! makes more sense. If you're not sure what kind of draw your device gives you, ask before ordering — it's a quick answer.
Getting it to Summerberry is straightforward. Orders ship from our Saskatoon location by tracked courier along the highway network, with tracking sent the moment they leave. A couple of days is typical; same-day delivery is limited to Saskatoon's own city limits. Age is checked with government-issued photo ID at checkout and again at the door, so have someone 19 or older with matching ID there when it arrives.
Store whichever bottle you choose somewhere cool and dark with the cap closed; Kapow recommends exactly that, and it's good practice for any e-liquid. Keep bottles well out of reach of children and pets.
Each product on our shelves has the federal excise stamp and is sourced from an authorized Canadian distributor. Saskatchewan restricts flavoured vaping products beyond tobacco, mint, and menthol to specialty vape retailers and online sellers, which is where we fit.
Check out with a single bottle if you like — there's no minimum and no membership — and you'll see the full cost before confirming.
A few more things trip people up with strength labels.
"Nicotine salt" and "freebase" are both nicotine; the label describes the form, not the amount. A 20 mg/mL salt and a 20 mg/mL freebase contain the same concentration, but the salt is formulated to feel smoother at that level.
Some e-liquids come in more than one strength within the same product line, so the product page may list strength per variant. Kapow! 60ml is an example: most variants are 6 mg/mL, and one is 3 mg/mL. Check the selected option before adding it to your cart.
Disposables state their strength too, usually on the listing next to the e-liquid volume. Most in our catalogue are 20 mg/mL nicotine salt, and a few are lower — including nicotine-free and 10 mg/mL options.
Strength isn't something to guess at when you switch devices. If you move from a tight pod to a looser, higher-output setup, expect to move down in strength, not stay the same. That single adjustment prevents most of the harshness people run into with a new device. If you're unsure which strength suits a device you already own, tell us the device when you ask — the answer usually follows directly from it.
Summerberry's fieldstone school dates to 1907; the rules for reading a bottle are rather newer, but they're just as easy to learn once someone lays them out.
To order, you must be at least 19 years old. We hold that line in every province, and in Saskatchewan it matches the law.
