What are Nic Salts?

Nicotine salt e-liquids, usually called nic salts, are vape juices that use a different form of nicotine to standard freebase e-liquid. They combine nicotine with organic acids to lower the pH of the liquid. This makes the vape feel smoother at higher strengths such as 10mg, 15mg and 20mg compared to the same strength in many freebase liquids.

Most nic salts use a 50/50 VG/PG blend and are designed for MTL pod kits and starter pens. You fill your refillable pod or tank, let the coil soak, and then vape as normal. The idea is to give a nicotine experience that feels close to a cigarette or disposable, but in a device where you replace pods, coils and bottles instead of throwing away the whole unit.

Nicotine is an optional ingredient in e-liquids, but it is also an addictive substance. Nic salt e-liquids that contain nicotine are intended for adult smokers and existing vapers only. People who do not currently smoke or vape should not start.

Nic Salts vs. Freebase Nicotine

Both nic salts and freebase e-liquids can work well. They are just built for different needs.

Nic Salts: These are known for their smoothness and deliver nicotine rapidly, satisfying cravings in fewer puffs. They are perfect for beginners and those transitioning from smoking.
Freebase Nicotine: This is the classic form of nicotine, offering a more pronounced throat hit that can feel harsh at higher strengths. It is favoured by vapers who enjoy a stronger sensation.

Which devices work best with nic salts?

Nic salts work best in low-powered pod systems and MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) devices. These kits typically run at lower wattages (around 10–20W) and use coils rated at 0.6Ω or higher. This setup ensures you get the best flavour and a smooth throat hit.

Using nic salts in powerful sub ohm kits with low resistance coils is not recommended. The combination of high nicotine and high vapour production can feel too strong and may be uncomfortable for many people. If you use a sub ohm kit, lower strength freebase e-liquid, for example 3mg or 6mg high VG juice, is usually a better fit.

I have been using nic salts since they first took off in the UK and have not looked back. Freebase has always tasted a bit peppery to me, but nic salts do not have that harsh edge and the flavour profiles stay really clear and smooth.

Choosing the Right Strength in Nic Salts

The best strength depends on how much you used to smoke and how often you vape now. These are rough guides only:

Here is a quick guide to nicotine strengths.

20mg (2.0%): Best for heavy smokers (20+ cigarettes a day).
10mg (1.0%): Ideal for moderate smokers (up to 15 cigarettes a day).
5mg (0.5%): Perfect for light smokers and those looking to gradually reduce their nicotine intake.

If you are unsure where to start, many people choose 10mg or 20mg first, then adjust up or down after a bottle or two depending on how it feels. It is usually better to start a bit higher than too low, then step down once you are fully off cigarettes.

Best Nic Salt Flavours

Nic salts are known for giving a smooth vape and a quick feeling of satisfaction. The flavour can also feel slightly different to freebase. Because of the way the nicotine is combined with acids, many vapers find nic salt flavours a bit softer and more rounded, without the sharp edge some freebase blends can have at higher strengths.

Most popular nic salt flavours include:

Fruity Blends: Vibrant, juicy flavours like Blueberry Sour Raspberry, Watermelon Ice, and Kiwi Passionfruit Guava.
Menthol & Ice: Refreshing options such as Spearmint, Menthol, and Blue Razz Ice remain classics.
Sweet & Candy-Inspired: Nostalgic picks like Bubblegum, Gummy Bear, and Cotton Candy.
Tobacco Classics: Smooth and familiar blends like Cream Tobacco and Vanilla Tobacco.
Drink-Inspired: Fizzy and fruity options like Cherry Cola, Energy Ice, and Lemon Lime.

Bar salts sit within nic salts as a sub category. They use the same nic salt base but focus on flavours inspired by popular disposable vapes. These liquids are sold in 10ml bottles for use in refillable pod kits, so you can get a similar taste to many disposables in a reusable device, often at a lower running cost and with less waste.
