What are Nicotine Salts?
Nicotine Salts are a type of e-liquid, now commonly used accross all dispoable vapes and most 10ml bottles. Nicotine Salts are made by mixing freebase nicotine with an acid that naturally occur in tobacco.
Nicotine salts are absorbed into your bloodstream faster than freebase nicotine found in regular E-liquids, this allows users to get an improved nicotine hit similar to the hit provided by smoking a cigarette.
What strength E-Liquid should I use?
The answer to this varies from person to person, and it typically depends on how often you use your vape and how much Nicotine your body is used to getting.
When using Nicotine Salts there is a reduced throat hit compared to freebase nicotine, making higher strength eliquids more manageable.
In the first steps of vaping to give up smoking typically a 20mg or 10mg Nicotine strength is used in order to curb nicotine cravings and keep off cigarettes. As time goes on and you look to reduce your Nicotine input, it is reccomended that a drop to 10mg (if on 20mg) or 5mg strength eliquid, such as those available from Lost10 or NaCl.
What device should I use Nicotine Salts with?
Nicotine Salt eliquid tends to be either a 50% VG blend, or at most a 60% VG blend. This, along with typically higher nicotine stregnths, means that the liquid should be used with lower powered vape devices or pod systems. It is not recommended that it is used with high pwoered or sub ohm devices.
Devices such as the Vaporesso Xros or Innokin T20s are suitable for Nicotine Salt E-Liquid.
