Description
What is nicotine salt from Chemnovatic? Product Overview
Nicotine salts (nic salts) are manufactured with the usage of Chemnovatic’s pure nicotine PureNic 99+ and different types of acids. Depending on the acid used, the nicotine salt will have slightly different properties and the final product will provide the consumer with a different experience. Nicotine salts, depending on the acid they are made of, may have the form of a liquid or nicotine powder.
Both our nicotine salts and pure nicotine (used in our NicSalts) are manufactured in our state-of-the-art facility in Poland. This not only sets us apart from the competitors but also ensures complete control over production.
Shorten your supply chain by sourcing nicotine salts from well-established European manufacturers committed to excellence in all forms of nicotine production.
The manufacturing processes are realized in a strictly controlled environment (i.e. oxygen-free), where excellence is confirmed by numerous external audits (Intertek, EcoVadis, CDP, ISO 9001:2015, HACCP, and many others).

Why Should You Consider Nicotine Salts For E-liquids Production?

Faster nicotine delivery
Nicsalts, due to their structure, are more biocompatible for human cell membranes than pure nicotine. As a result, they enter the blood system way faster than regular freebase nicotine – typically within 7-10 seconds of inhaling.

A smoother “throat hit”
Thanks to their acidic nature, nicsalts have lower pH than freebase nicotine. As a result, the aerosols derived from them are not alkaline, potentially resulting in less throat and upper airway irritation.

Stronger nicotine-kick
Since nicotine salts are less aversive upon inhalation than pure nicotine, nicsalt e-liquids can be vaped at higher nicotine concentrations (without irritation), and, as a result, satisfy the nicotine cravings faster. For this reason, nicsalts are an indispensable alternative for ex-smokers or smokers who wants to quit.

Less impact on the flavour
Nicotine salts tend to have less effect on the flavourings in e-liquid than freebase nicotine.
