Nicotine in its natural state is found in tobacco in the form of salt. However, nicotine salts available on the market cannot be obtained directly from the tobacco leaves. Over the course of years, tobacco companies have managed to separate the purest form of nicotine. It is called freebase nicotine. Nic salts used for e-liquids are made by adding different acids to the freebase nicotine. Depending on the acid used, nic salts can have little different physical characteristics but all of them share the same advantages.

More about Chemnovatic nicotine salts
Nicotine in its natural state is found in tobacco in the form of salt. However, nicotine salts available on the market cannot be obtained directly from the tobacco leaves.
Over the course of years, tobacco companies have managed to separate the purest form of nicotine. It is called a freebase nicotine.
Nic salts used for nicotine salt e-liquids are made by adding different acids to the freebase nicotine. Depending on the acid used, salt based nicotine can have different physical characteristics but all of them share the same advantages.
Nicotine salts characteristics:
• Stronger and longer nicotine effect
Nic salts guarantee greater satisfaction comparable to the nicotine kick after smoking a standard cigarette. As the nicotine salts are in its natural state, they are also more biocompatible to the
human organism. As a result they are better absorbed to the bloodstream and the nicotine effect lasts longer.
• Less harsh on your throat
Nic salt e-liquids are incredibly smooth because they are more acidic (pH around 5). It means that one of the main sensation of vaping – the throat hit, becomes less harsh. Vapers can use higher nicotine strengths without any problems.
• Longer shelf life
Nicotine salts and other products with nic salts oxidize more slowly. Thanks to its stable molecules nic salts are less volatile and they can be stored longer and easier than the pure nicotine.
• Unflavored
Nicotine salts are neutral in taste. They can be easily mixed with PG/VG and any flavours to obtain the best quality e-liquids.
• Perfect for e-cigarettes users
Abovementioned factors cause more satisfactory experience for the users. Because of powerful ‘nicotine kick’, products with nicotine salts are ideal for people who want to quit smoking or just
switch from ordinary cigarettes.
Chemnovatic manufactures three types of nic salts – nicotine benzoate salt (NicSalt-B), nicotine salicylate salt (NicSalt-S) and 100% natural nicotine malate salt (NicSalt-M). Depending on the type of nicotine salt, the sensation during vaping nicotine salt e-liquid will be different.
