What is nic salt?

Nicotine salts, commonly referred to as “nic salts” or “salt nicotine,” are a form of nicotine used for e-liquid production. The primary objective of using nicotine salts is to provide a smoother and more satisfying vaping experience, particularly at higher nicotine levels concentrations.

Unlike traditional freebase nicotine, which is the standard form of nicotine used in most e-liquids, nicotine salts are a more stable compound that closely mimics the natural state of nicotine in tobacco leaves.

How to make nicotine salts?

To make nicotine salts you have to combine pure nicotine with specific acid. This process lowers the pH level of the nicotine, resulting in a form that is more easily vaporized and absorbed by the body. This modification enhances the bioavailability of nicotine, allowing for a faster and more efficient delivery into the bloodstream.

Currently, the most popular salts on the market are those based on benzoic acid.

You will also find other options in our range, viz:

• levulinate salt,
• tartrate salt,
• malate salt,
• lactate salt,
• pyruvate salt,
• salicylate salt.

Depending on the acid used, the nicotine salt will have slightly different characteristics and the consumer will experience a distinct sensation with the product. Learn more about the effects you can expect!

Which type of nicotine salts should you opt for?

As a producer or brand owner, you can choose two options:

• raw, crystalized, and powdered Nic Salts,
• ready-to-use NicSalt Bases in various ratios and nicotine levels.

Good news: We manufacture both, and – if you run a business – you can buy them.

If you do not have proper protective clothing and equipment we would advise against using raw powdered nicotine – inhaling nic salt crystals or powder may be dangerous.

Using a ready nicotine salt base is not only much easier and safer but also way more convenient. You may choose PG/VG ratio of your choice and any nicotine strength. Even higher nicotine strength bases are easier and safer to dilute than nicotine crystals.

What are the main differences between preparing e-liquids with freebase nicotine and nicotine salt?

Freebase nicotine juices work well on higher-powered e-cigarettes whereas nic salt e-liquids can be vaped on any type of device. With changing regulations and an increasing awareness of environmental concerns, rechargeable pods & pre-filled cartridges are becoming more and more popular.

We have been in the vape and e-liquid sector since 2013. Dozens of clients have trusted us and we have launched over 300 products and brands. Use our resources and experience and together we will earn your success – rapidly check our Knowledge Base.

They are perfect for vape pod systems since they do not require lots of power to provide a satisfactory vaping experience, but at the same time can be vaped on more complex devices. Using higher power settings on your e-cigarette means you may lower the nicotine levels in your e-liquid and still get the nicotine hit you require.

Secondly – there is more than one nicotine salt type (made with e.g. salicylic, malic, or benzoic acid), which means you can choose the one that suits you most – different throat hit or an aftertaste may be something you prefer in one nic salt over the other. Some nicotine salts dilute in propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin easier than others, which may be a thing to consider as well.

Constant experimenting – this is what vaping is about.

How To Make A Nic Salt Juice? Two Easy Ways

There are two easy ways to make vape juice based on nicotine salts at home. Both are completely safe. Additionally, you can read our guide about becoming a brand owner and creating DIY e-liquids.

1. Add NicSalt Shot to a shortfill e-liquid

This is nothing new to most vapers, who know how to add nicotine to vape juice. Buy a shortfill e-liquid and add a nicotine salt shot instead of a freebase nicotine shot. This works best for sub-ohm tanks and high-power devices due to higher VG content.

2. Add a few drops of e-liquid flavouring to a bottle of NicSalt Shot

Ideal for pods. Take your favourite e-liquid flavouring and add a few drops (1 or 2 should be enough) to the nicotine salt shot. You will receive a ready nicotine salt e-liquid that will work perfectly on pod devices due to lower VG content.

You can, of course, choose the old school route and create a nicotine salt juice from scratch, like in the old days – that is if you can get a salt based nicotine base in big bottles.

Nicotine Salt E-Liquids Benefits

Why would you choose nic salt vape juice over freebase ones? There are a few important benefits.

High nicotine levels

The biggest advantage would be the amount of nicotine delivered to your body per single puff. Nicotine salt juices provide you with higher doses of nicotine thus helping you satisfy nicotine hunger.

Swift nicotine delivery

Nicsalts, owing to their composition, exhibit greater biocompatibility with human cell membranes than pure nicotine. Consequently, they enter the bloodstream much more rapidly than standard freebase nicotine, usually within 7-10 seconds of inhalation.

A smoother “throat hit”

Nicsalts boast a reduced pH level compared to freebase nicotine, thanks to their acidic composition. Consequently, the aerosols produced from nicsalts are not alkaline, potentially leading to decreased irritation in the throat and upper airway.

Minimal influence on the taste

Nicotine salts typically exert a lesser impact on the flavorings within e-liquid compared to freebase nicotine.

More money in your pocket

Another benefit related to the first one is the financial aspect. If you can deliver more nicotine per puff, that means you can vape less and still get the same effect while spending less money on your e-liquids. It’s great news, especially for ex-smokers and quitters.

More choice options

For natural products fans, we have another thing to consider – natural nicotine salts. Nicotine malate is a 100% natural nicotine salt, that when diluted in VG, PDO or VPDO becomes a completely natural nicotine salt base – add natural flavorings and you have a 100% natural nicotine salt e-liquid.

Most nic salt e-juices are also smoother than freebase e-liquids. Your customers are not fans of throat hit? Give them nic salts vape juices!

However, e-liquids are not the only products we can help you with. Nicotine pouches are getting more, and more, popular on the market, so make sure, you will read these pieces:
