Nicotine salt is a type of naturally forming nicotine found in leaf tobacco and when blended with e-liquids, is the most efficient way to deliver nicotine to your body. It is blended with flavoured e-liquid in 10ml bottles for MTL (mouth-to-lung) kits.
If you are a smoker looking for the most effective way to make your switch to vaping stick, then we recommend nic salt vape juices. Nic salts provide high amounts of nicotine that deliver rapid and long-lasting craving satisfaction, with the benefit that you use less to get what you need. And unlike freebase nicotine, nic salts provide an enjoyably smooth throat hit and exceptional flavour production.
Conventional nicotine is also known as "freebase" nicotine. It has a higher pH and delivers an extremely strong throat hit in strengths above 12mg while also causing flavours to be somewhat muted. This may suit some, but if you want strong, rapid delivery with bold flavour then you’ll want nic salts.
Nic salt is the kind of nicotine found in the leaves of tobacco, it is extracted in its purest form and then blended with benzoic acid to lower the pH level, which allows for quick absorption and a mild throat hit.
Want a detailed comparison? Our nic salts vs freebase guide breaks down all the differences.
The chemical structure of salt based nicotine liquids makes them more biologically available to our bodies and as a result, they are absorbed in seconds and keep your cravings at bay for longer. The feeling is identical to that of smoking tobacco which makes for a seamless and stress-free transition from smoking to vaping.
Nic salts deliver excellent flavour. Freebase nicotine will greatly impair the flavour of e-liquid, especially at higher strengths of 12mg and 18mg, where you will experience the peppery taste of the nicotine over the flavour. Whereas nicotine salt is flavourless and doesn't impact the flavours at all, no matter the strength, so you can enjoy exceptional flavours that also offer a much wider variety of choice and complexity.
The low pH of nic salts makes them extremely smooth when compared to freebase nicotine. The throat hit is mild yet present enough that you’ll know that you are vaping more than air.
Nic salts offer the highest amount of nicotine available in the UK. They are available in 5mg, 10mg or 20mg strengths, to match your smoking habit.
Short answer, yes! Their rapid and long-lasting delivery means that you will get your fix in a few quick puffs, meaning you’ll be using less e-liquid.
Our nicotine strength guide helps you pick the perfect level.
10ml flavoured nic salts are designed for MTL (mouth-to-lung) devices and work best on coils from 1.0ohm and upward. Sub-ohm devices kick out massive plumes of vapour and nic salts vaped on their own through a sub-ohm kit will be extremely harsh and deliver an overwhelming amount of nicotine. You can, however, can mix a flavourless nic shot with a high VG 50ml or 100ml shortfill bottle as this will dilute the nic shot with the more suitable thicker e-liquid.

Hi @Theresa – in the UK, the safety and quality of e-liquids containing nicotine are of utmost importance. All such e-liquids are mandated to undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet the safety standards set by the authorities. This is to ensure that consumers are protected and are using products that are safe for consumption.
It’s true that there have been concerns raised in the media about the safety of certain vaping products, particularly disposable vapes. However, it’s crucial to differentiate between regulated products and those that are sold on the black market. The ingredients used in black market products are not the same as those in regulated vaping products. These unregulated products can pose potential risks due to the lack of oversight and quality control.
We want to assure you that all the products we offer at Vape Superstore are compliant with the regulations and have been tested by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for safety. Our commitment is to provide our customers with products that are not only of high quality but also safe for use.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!
I would like to know if anything has been done to make them safer
