Synthetic Nicotine vs. Tobacco Nicotine

The first thing that usually comes to mind when it comes to nicotine is tobacco, regardless of whether it is smoking, vaping, or pharmaceutical nicotine. As nicotine is obtained mainly from tobacco, this is a reasonable association and thus usually nicotine products are subject to the same regulations as tobacco products. Usually, but not always – there is a way to produce non-tobacco nicotine which is also called synthetic nicotine.

Tobacco nicotine

For decades, tobacco has earned its unfortunate reputation by associations with carcinogenic cigarette smoke, tar, lung, and cardiovascular diseases. The case is absolutely different for e-cigarette liquids: no burning tobacco, no smoke, or its health impacts.

E-liquids manufactured with Chemnovatic’s tobacco nicotine contain pharmaceutical grade nicotine with purity of more than 99.9%. Chemnovatic’s freebase nicotine PureNic 99+ chemically distilled from tobacco leaves has gained worldwide recognition.

What is synthetic nicotine?

Nowadays most e-liquids are manufactured with the use of tobacco nicotine, however, scientists can now produce pure nicotine without the use of tobacco in the laboratory environment. Synthetic/non-tobacco nicotine is not obtained from tobacco leaves, stems, tobacco extract, or post-production tobacco waste. Synthetic nicotine/tobacco-free nicotine is an artificial replica of traditional nicotine derived from tobacco, but it is manufactured using chemicals that do not contain any tobacco plants.

Biological characteristics of synthetic nicotine

Without getting too scientific, synthetic nicotine has the same molecular formula as traditional tobacco nicotine. Moreover, both types of nicotine share the same advantages. When it comes to the chemical composition of the substance, there is no difference between synthetic nicotine and nicotine derived from a plant. Essentially both are very similar even in terms of the nicotine satisfaction level of the end-user. The only difference between them is the process during which these are manufactured and raw materials used for this process.

By definition, synthetic nicotine is manufactured with the use of such chemical substances like, among others: ethanol, niacin, sulphuric acid. Some of the advantages that synthetic nicotine has over tobacco nicotine are the result of the low-quality pure nicotine that is available on the market.

Comparing to Chemnovatic’s PureNic 99+, synthetic nicotine has very similar properties and quality, so the only advantages, in this case, are the result of the synthetic nature of this product. Both PureNic 99+ and tobacco-free nicotine do not contain nitrosamines that might be present during the extraction of nicotine from tobacco.

Nitrosamines extracted from tobacco can still have a grain of plant, which creates unpleasant flavours and harshness. E-liquid manufacturers that use poor quality tobacco nicotine mask them with sweeteners and intensive flavours.

IMPORTANT

Dear Customers, recently, CHEMNOVATIC has introduced synthetic nicotine into its offer. The reason for this decision was the growing number of inquiries from our current customers as well as new customers.

We have made an effort to make the product available as soon as possible, but now we have encountered a problem with the availability of raw material and we need to diversify the supply chain to ensure continuity of production and recalculate prices to reflect the value of the final product due to changes in individual components.

Currently, the product is not available for sale. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask for patience. We hope that the situation is only temporary, so we will keep you updated as work progresses.
