Once you’re ready, you can read on to learn about nic salt e-liquids and how they may just benefit your vaping experience!

What Is Nic Salt E-Liquid?

Nic salts are a vape liquid type that generally comes in 10ml bottles and are available in different nicotine strengths, like 5mg, 10mg, and 20 mg. There are also many flavors to choose from when it comes to nic salt e-liquids. The main difference between nic salt e-liquids and other vape juices is the type of nicotine used, which you’ll learn more about as you keep reading!

How Do Nic Salt Vape Juices Work?

As mentioned earlier, the main difference between nic salts and other e-liquids is nicotine. The nicotine in nic salts is not the same as the nicotine in normal 10ml vape juices. In normal vape juices, the nicotine is “freebase”, while nic salts use another type of nicotine altogether.

Freebase nicotine gives you a totally different throat hit according to the nicotine concentration of the bottle. An 18mg concentrate made from freebase nicotine will give you a larger throat hit compared to 12mg, 6mg, and 3mg. Basically, the bigger the concentration of nicotine, the more intense the throat hit.

The nicotine used in nic salt e-liquids is completely different and has a whole other pH level compared to freebase nicotine, and therefore gives you a much smoother hit. So, you can use higher concentrations of nicotine without harsh throat kicks. This makes nic salts ideal for people who want to quit smoking, or for people who vape but still occasionally smoke cigarettes. The make of these liquids allows for a greater nicotine concentration, minus the harsh throat hit. So, a 20mg nic salt vape will give you the hit of a 10mh freebase one, while a 10mg one will translate into a 5mg freebase.

What Are The Benefits of Nic Salt?

Ideal for people who are heavy smokers and need a large concentration of nicotine, without the harsh throat hit, nic salt has a lot of benefits. The two main benefits are:

1. Delivery of Nicotine:
   Nic salts are made in such a way that they enter your bloodstream faster than freebase nicotine, so the effects are felt way faster, and cravings are also satisfied quickly. A nic salt hit will typically take around 7-10 seconds to kick in. The main benefit of this is that you won’t be stuck to your vape all day and have to use it too frequently to get your fill. You’ll significantly cut down on consumption when you use a nic salt e-liquid. This also makes the product last longer, so you don’t have to keep shelling out cash on refills.
2. Smoother Experience:
   We’ve already established that nic salts have a different pH than freebase nicotine. Being more acidic in nature, nic salts are much smoother in inexperience. If you’re looking for a high nicotine concentration without a very harsh hit, nic salts are just right for you. However, some people enjoy the throat hit so normal vape juices are better in that context.

Are Nic Salt E-liquids Right For Me?

In short, yes. Yes, they are. Pretty much any vaper can use nic salt e-liquids, all they have to do is pop into the nearest vape shop and pick it up!

Nic salts are perfect for you if you’re a smoker who’s trying to cut down or quit altogether, or if you’re just someone who wants a higher strength of nicotine without a harsh throat hit.

Say you’re a smoker and you’re trying to stop, if you use a high-level nic salt (20mg, for example), you’ll be able to get your fix and fight your craving. When you hit a nic salt, you won’t even think of reaching for your pack of smokes after. Tolerance is subjective, however, so keep this in mind while purchasing a nic salt e-liquid from Vapourz Lounge or another vape shop. Depending on your tolerance, you’ll have to pick up the right juice for you. If you smoke 20 cigarettes a day, you’d probably need a higher level of nicotine to satisfy yourself. If the strength is too harsh, you can always try a lower one. If you’re an avid smoker, you’ll probably vape a lot if you use a normal vape juice, which is why nic salt e-liquids can come in handy. They’ll give you your nicotine kick, and leave you satisfied enough to not smoke or vape excessively.

If you’re used to normal vape juices and find them to be too harsh on the throat, you can switch to nic salt in the same strength, it’ll be much smoother and may just work better for you.
