Nic Salt Eliquid

Nicotine salts (or nic salts) are a popular form of e-liquid that combines natural nicotine found in tobacco leaves with acid - typically Benzoic or citrus acid. The e-juice contains a lower pH level than freebase nicotine, leading to a smoother throat hit - even at high nicotine levels. 

The e-liquid also absorbs quickly into your bloodstream, usually within a matter of seconds, giving you a quick and satisfying nicotine hit. The vape juice typically comes in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg nicotine strengths, though other strengths are also available, depending on the brand. 

Blended to deliver strong craving relief, nic salt e-liquids are most commonly used in low-power mouth-to-lung pod kits as these provide a discreet vapour output that mimics the sensation of smoking. This makes them a popular choice for vapers and former smokers.

To enjoy the best experience, we recommend understanding how these e-liquids should be used. Please read the following steps for getting started with nic salts.  

1. Choose the right vape kit - Mouth-to-lung pod kits operate on a lower power setting than sub-ohm vapes, and produce a smaller amount of vapour. The high nicotine content in nic salts make these unsuitable for powerful devices and can create an uncomfortable experience for the user. Also ensure that your pod coil has a higher resistance (i.e. 0.8ohm, 1.0ohm, 1.2ohm) to allow the e-liquid to saturate it properly. 
2. Choose your nicotine strength - If you prefer a lighter nicotine hit then 0mg-5mg strengths will be your best option, while 10mg-20mg nicotine strengths offer a nicotine hit similar to cigarettes.
3. Fill your pod - Remove the cap from your e-liquid bottle and place the nozzle inside the port of your pod. Fill this up with e-liquid until it meets the fill line. Close the port then leave for up to 15 minutes to let the coil saturate. This will prevent you experiencing any dry hits.
4. Take slow puffs - As nic salts usually contain more nicotine than standard e-liquids, taking quick puffs can lead to an even stronger nicotine hit, causing dizziness and nausea.

By following these steps, vapers can enjoy a vape that’s smooth in vapour, rich in taste and satisfying in delivery.

Choosing the right nicotine strength really boils down to your vaping or old smoking habits. Former heavy smokers would be best suited to 10mg-20mg strengths as these include higher nicotine content, while a 5mg strength would be ideal for light smokers. Here’s a lowdown to help you make the best choice.

• 0mg - These are nicotine-free and best for vapers looking to give up their nicotine habit while still enjoying the experience of vaping.
• 5mg - This option is ideal for light smokers, and those looking to cut down on their nicotine dependency.
• 10mg-20mg - These strengths provide the most intense nicotine hit and are suited to heavy smokers and vapers seeking the strongest nicotine experience.

If you’re unsure where to begin, start with a 5mg or 10mg nicotine strength, then move onto 20mg if you’d prefer something a little stronger.

There are few factors that separate nicotine salts from freebase e-liquids. Content, nicotine delivery and user experience all play their part in determining what makes them different. Here are some of the primary differences between them.

• Ingredients - While nic salts are formed with a blend of natural nicotine and acid, freebase e-liquid is made with pure nicotine.
• Nicotine Experience - Nic salt e-liquid is designed for quick blood absorption, resulting in fast nicotine delivery and a smooth throat sensation, while freebase provides slower craving relief and a harsher throat hit.
• Vape Kit Usage - Nic salts are typically used in low-power mouth-to-lung (MTL) pod kits with high-resistance coils, giving you comfortable nicotine delivery while allowing the coil to safely saturate. Freebase on the other hand, are normally used in high-power sub-ohm devices that produce bigger clouds and more intense vapour.
• Best For - Nic salts are generally best for beginners and those transitioning from smoking, while freebase e-liquids are ideal for experienced vapers who enjoy large clouds and a stronger throat hit.
