Nic Salts

Nicotine salts, or nic salts, are a form of nicotine used in e-liquids for vaping, created by combining nicotine with an organic acid (like benzoic acid). This process lowers the pH, making the nicotine less alkaline than freebase nicotine, resulting in a smoother vaping experience.

Key points:

Characteristics: Smoother throat hit, even at higher nicotine strengths (e.g., 20-50 mg/mL), due to lower alkalinity (pH around 5-6).
Use: Popular in low-wattage, high-nicotine devices like pod systems, ideal for users seeking a quick nicotine fix, especially former smokers.
Advantages: Faster nicotine absorption, less harshness, and efficient for discreet vaping with smaller devices.
Drawbacks: Less intense throat hit, which some vapers prefer, and not ideal for sub-ohm vaping due to high nicotine levels.

Compared to freebase nicotine, nic salts are smoother and better for high-strength vaping but may not suit those chasing big vapor clouds.
