Nic Salts
About Nic Salts
You may have heard of nic salts, or nicotine salts. They are a kind of nicotine that comes from tobacco leaves. They are mixed with benzoic acid, which makes them different from freebase nicotine. Freebase nicotine is the usual kind of nicotine in most e-liquids.
Advantages of Nic Salts
Nic salts have some advantages over freebase nicotine. They are not as harsh on your throat, so you can inhale more nicotine without feeling uncomfortable. They also give you a quicker and longer-lasting nicotine hit, which is similar to smoking a cigarette. This makes nic salts great for people who want to stop smoking, or who want a more satisfying vape.
Using Nic Salts with E-Liquids and Devices
You can use nic salts with any flavour of e-liquid, but some flavours work better with them. Fruity, minty, or tobacco flavours are good choices for nic salts. You can also use nic salts with any device, but some devices are better suited for them. Low-power and high-resistance devices, like pod systems or starter kits, are ideal for nic salts.
Nic salts come in different strengths, from 5mg to 20mg. You can choose the strength that suits your needs and preferences. If you want to try nic salts, you can find a wide range of nic salts e-liquids on our website.
Are Nic Salts for Me?
Nicotine salt vape juice is particularly popular with ex-smokers, as the nicotine delivery closely resembles that of smoking a traditional cigarette (a quick, intense rush of nicotine rather than a longer period of absorption). If you've just quit smoking and feel you need a high nicotine strength, but don't want the scratchy feeling that can accompany normal high-nicotine liquids, nic salts could be a great option for making the switch to vaping.
Nic salts are used in disposable vapes and most pod ranges, including JUUL pods, Vuse ePod cartridges and ELFA Pods, so if you're looking for a similar experience, a nicotine salt liquid for your kit could be the perfect choice! Using a refillable kit gives you more flavour options than a pre-filled pod mod, so if you're keen to try a wider range of juices, try something from our nicotine salt range!

Nicotine Salts vs. Freebase (Standard Nic)
Nicotine salt liquids offer a distinct advantage over traditional freebase nicotine e-liquids. Nicotine salts provide a smoother and less harsh throat hit, allowing users to comfortably enjoy higher concentrations of nicotine without the intense sensation often associated with freebase nicotine. This characteristic makes nicotine salt e-liquids particularly appealing to smokers transitioning to vaping. Additionally, nicotine salt formulations are absorbed more quickly into the bloodstream, mimicking the rapid nicotine delivery of traditional cigarettes. The smoother experience and faster absorption make nic salt e-liquids an excellent choice for those seeking a more satisfying and effective nicotine delivery method.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nic Salt E-Liquid
Nicotine salts are a type of nicotine that naturally grows on tobacco leaves. When used in e-liquid, nic salts will vaporise at much lower temperatures than freebase and deliver a smooth inhale with fast nicotine absorption - this replicates the sensation of smoking a traditional cigarette! They typically adopt a 50/50 PG/VG ratio, making them suitable for a wide array of vape kits.
Nic salts are produced by extracting regular freebase nicotine from tobacco leaves and bonding it with benzoic acid. The acid helps neutralise the pH levels and alkalinity of the nicotine, resulting in a mellow throat hit. However, while the throat inhale may be smoother, the body rush is a lot quicker, mimicking the sensation of smoking a cigarette.
Nicotine salts provide a smoother sensation compared to traditional freebase nicotine e-liquids. They allow for higher nicotine concentrations to be enjoyed without compromising the flavor or introducing the harsh, peppery taste often associated with potent e-juices. The gentler nature of salt nicotine also means it’s less irritating to the throat, unlike its freebase counterpart.
As nicotine salts are mixed to a 50/50 PG/VG ratio, this makes them suitable with a variety of refillable pod kits and mouth-to-lung style vape kits.
