This is a question that can have multiple answers.  For much more detail, check out this article about how nicotine levels in e-cigs compare to traditional cigarettes.

If you plan to smoke the same amount as tobacco cigarettes, you should follow this general guideline:

For all disposables:                                           

Disposable Level Traditional Cigarette Level
1.8% Medium Cigarettes

Disposables are currently only available in 1.8% and no other levels are available. Special requests for nicotine level in disposables are not available.

For traditional starter kits:

ProSmoke Level Traditional Cigarette Level
None (0mg) No Nicotine (Not available with traditional cigarettes)
Low (8mg) Ultra Light Cigarettes
Medium (14mg) Light Cigarettes
High (18mg) Medium to High CigarettesMarlboro (Tobacco regulars Cigarettes for example)
Extra High (22mg) Stronger cigarettes or smaller filtered cigarettes
Super Extra High (28mg) Very High to Unfiltered Cigarettes

Ultimately, the answer to the question of which cartridge strength to purchase depends on how you plan to smoke your electronic cigarette.

Did you know E-cigarette companies descriptors for nicotine levels are being renamed? Similar to traditional cigarettes or tobacco, the FDA is requiring companies to transition labeling to include the full nicotine content to describe each nicotine level option in their cartridges or e-liquid. Levels like low, light, medium, high and so on are now transitioning to nicotine content in mg or percentage by quantity. During this transition period, please note that nicotine content titles like low, medium, etc. never indicate anything other than nicotine content in each cartridge and make no claims related to health, experience, or risk of using the product.
