Nicotine Salt E-Liquids

Nic salt, or nicotine salt are a type of e-liquid that uses a smoother form of nicotine, allowing for faster absorption and a more satisfying vape with less throat hit - especially at higher strengths such as 20mg. Nic salts is the type of e-liquid found in most disposable and prefilled vapes and is currently the most popular type of e-liquid in the UK.

Nic salts offer a smooth inhale (even in higher nicotine strengths) and quicker nicotine delivery, making them ideal for recent ex-smokers and those looking for fast nicotine relief.

Freebase e-liquids are better for sub-ohm vaping and large cloud production when used with low nicotine strengths

Nic salts are made using a blend of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerine (VG) as a base mixture to carry flavour and produce vapour. Natural and artificial food-grade flavourings are added for taste. Regular freebase nicotine is blended with benzoic acid to lower the pH level of the formulation.

Nic salts are most commonly available in 10mg (1%), 20mg (2%), and you will find some nic salt brands introducing 5mg (0.5%) for vapers lowering their nicotine level.

The best e-liquid nicotine strength for your vape depends on your individual vaping needs, preferences, and smoking habits. For new vapers we recommend starting on a medium strength nicotine salt e-liquid like 10mg, with the option to switch to a higher nicotine strength like 20mg (2%), or lower strength like 5mg (0.5%).

It’s worth noting that disposable vapes come in 20mg strength, so if you’re looking to replicate a disposable vape sensation, 20mg is your ideal choice.

Nic salts are available in 10ml bottles. This is due to the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) which regulates vape products in the UK. The TPD states that nicotine-containing e-liquids can only be sold in bottles with a 10ml capacity or less.

One 10ml bottle of nic salt e-liquid will provide up to 3000 puffs of vapour, meaning you can fill your 2ml vape pod or tank 5 times per bottle.

Various factors like personal vaping habits can alter the overall puff count number:

• Length of Puff: Longer and deeper inhales will use more e-liquid
• Device Used: Higher wattages will consume more e-liquid compared to low power outputs
• Resistance Coil: Lower resistance coils will burn at hotter temperatures and vaporise more e-liquid per puff
• Vaping Style: Mouth-To-Lung (MTL) vaping will use less e-liquid compared to Direct-To-Lung (DTL) vaping

Nic salts generally last 2 years from their manufacture date if stored correctly. Once opened nicotine salts can last up to 6 months before they start to degrade.

A 10ml bottle of nic salts can last a few days to a week, this is determined by how frequently you vape on your e-cigarette.

You must be over 18 to use and buy all vape products in the UK, including nic salts.

Pod system vape kits are the best devices for nic salts, due to their low-wattage outputs, Mouth-To-Lung (MTL) style of inhaling vapour, and higher resistance coils which vaporise nic salts at lower temperatures.

Disposable vapes are classed as ‘closed pod systems’, meaning they are sealed shut during manufacture. They come filled with vape juice, and once used can’t be refilled.

If you’re looking for vaping devices compatible with bottles of nicotine salts, refillable ‘open pod system’ e-cigarette devices are the ideal option.

Yes, nic salts will eventually expire approximately 2 years from the date of manufacture. All e-liquids in the UK must legally state a best before date on the packaging. Nic salt vape liquids won’t become unsafe after their expiration date, but their quality, flavour, colour, and viscosity may degrade and alter over time. To experience your nic salts optimal flavour, we recommend using your liquids before they expire.

Store your nicotine salt e-liquids in a cool, dark place away from heat sources and direct sunlight. If your e-liquid comes in a box, keep it sealed upright in its original packaging at room temperature between 18-22 °C to keep it fresher for longer.

No, we don’t recommend using nic salts in a sub-ohm vape as they would cause an overly strong nicotine hit which may feel unpleasant. Nic salts are designed for mouth to lung vaping with low wattage devices.

High VG liquids are best suited to sub-ohm vape kits in lower nicotine strengths, with higher wattages and direct to lung inhales.

Yes, nic salts taste exactly like disposable vapes. If you use a certain brand of disposable, chances are you can purchase the exact same e-liquid flavours in the form of a bottle of e-liquid.

To replicate a similar experience to disposables, opt for a low-power pod-style vaping device, and use a 1.0ohm, or 1.2ohm pod.

Nic salts provide a smoother feeling on the throat compared to freebase nicotine. Salts are less harsh and more comfortable on the throat even at higher nicotine concentrations.

Freebase nicotine vape liquids provide a harsher kick at the back of the throat compared to when using smooth nic salts.

Coils or built-in coil pods with a resistance of between 1.0 ohm and 1.8 ohm are the best choice for nic salts. 0.6 ohm and 0.8 ohm coils will also work well with increased vapour.

Yes and no, bar salts use the same e-liquid formulation as nic salts, but feature additional flavourings to match the intensity of disposable vape bars.
