What Are Nic Salts?
At their core, nic salts are a form of nicotine that more closely resembles the natural structure found in tobacco leaves, rather than the somewhat synthetic versions you find in traditional e-liquids. By combining nicotine with a blend of specific acids, we’re able to create a compound that is much more stable and smoother on people’s throats.
Nic salts are ideal for use in low-wattage, pod-style devices, providing a more efficient nicotine delivery system. They are absorbed by the body quicker than freebase nicotine, closely mimicking the rapid absorption rate that someone gets from smoking actual cigarettes. Because of this, nic salts are often the go to method for quitting smoking as well as being popular for people moving away from costly and harmful disposable vapes.
Benefits Of Switching To Nic Salt Juices
Switching to nicotine salts from traditional vaping liquids or cigarettes offers a range of benefits, whether you’re new to vaping entirely or you’ve been vaping for some time. The first and most obvious benefit of nic salts is the smoother throat hit. Nic salts are less harsh on the throat compared to freebase nicotine, allowing for a more pleasant vaping experience, especially at higher nicotine levels. This makes them an ideal choice for those who find conventional e-liquids too strong or irritating.
There is also a faster absorption rate of the nicotine that nic salts contain. Because nic salts mimic the natural nicotine absorption process of tobacco cigarettes, providing quicker and more satisfying nicotine cravings relief.
Finally, there is the enhanced flavour that you can get from nic salts which are often found missing from the traditional e-liquids. Nic salts tend to deliver a purer, more intense flavour profile, enhancing the overall vaping experience. This is because the lower temperature required to vaporise nic salts preserves the flavour instead of superheating the liquid and making it less impactful on the palette.
Nic Salts Vs Normal E-Liquids
Understanding the differences between nicotine salts and normal (freebase) e-liquids is important so that you can make an informed choice on which is going to be best for you. The most significant difference lies in their chemical composition. Nicotine salts are formed by adding an acid to freebase nicotine, resulting in a more stable and less alkaline form. This alteration makes for a smoother vaping experience, even at higher nicotine strengths, which is a key advantage of nic salts over normal e-liquids.
Another aspect to consider is the flavour and overall vaping experience. Freebase nicotine can sometimes alter the flavour of e-liquids, especially when vaped at high temperatures. Nic salts, however, can be vaporised at a much lower temperature and because of this they are able to retain a stronger flavour. So, if you have a cherry nic salt and a cherry e-liquid, you are far more likely to get a fruitier flavoured hit from the nic salts!
The type of vaporising device used also plays a role when you’re going to make the choice between nic salts and normal e-liquids. Nic salts are best used with low-wattage, mouth-to-lung devices, which are much more simple and discreet. Freebase e-liquids, on the other hand, are typically used with higher-powered, direct-to-lung devices, known for producing the large vapour clouds that have become synonymous with vaping culture.
Finally, nicotine strengths and usage patterns vary between the nic salts and traditional freebase nicotine e-liquids. Nic salts are available in higher nicotine strengths due to their smoothness and are often preferred by heavy smokers or those seeking to quit smoking quickly. Freebase e-liquids, in contrast, are generally used in lower strengths and are suitable for those looking to gradually reduce their nicotine intake or who simply vape recreationally having never been a cigarette smoker previously.

3 Nic Salt FAQs
What’s The Best Strength Of Nic Salts?
The best strength of nicotine salts depends on your individual needs and previous smoking or vaping habits. Our nic salts are available with 20mg of nicotine which is often the optimal strength as they already provide a higher absorption of nicotine than standard e-liquids and a similar level of nicotine as a cigarette.
Are Nic Salts Cheaper?
Yes, in theory. They can seem a little more expensive than traditional vape juices, however, because most people will use their vape a lot less when vaping nic salts (due to their higher strength of nicotine) they tend to need to restock their nic salts less often.
Are Nic Salts Safe?
Nicotine salts, like any nicotine products, should be used responsibly. They are generally considered as safe as traditional e-liquids when used correctly. Remember, while vaping is often used as a tool to quit smoking, it is not completely risk-free, especially for non-smokers or those with certain health conditions.
