Thoughts on Nicotine Salts?

[Perpetua]

One of our Vendors DripDrop Vapour has asked a question regarding Nic Salts on our Vendor's Board . . . I guess if we were to be ' picky ' it could be construed as marketing/promotional if they were to post themselves here.

So I thought I would make it a broader question and add a little poll out of interest as to their popularity among us.

With approx 22 years of freebase in the freezer; I have made my decision.

However, when trying new flavors/brands or disposables, I have not noticed any difference between freebase and salt except for the lack of throat hit in the latter. (20mg/ml or stronger and 10-15ml of use per SKU)

Cheers

I've been buying and mixing Nic free juices for years now.

Like izan plenty of Nic in the freezer, so never tried them.

I have used and can easily get both direct from the pharmaceutical companies - but can't really say that i've noticed me having a preference - or really noticing the difference. I think that nic salt might be noticed more, and be a good introduction to vaping for new vapers just making the switch - as i gather the nic absorption is supposed to be quicker - but for 'Old timers' - it makes less of a difference

Sorry for coming late to this thread but here's my thoughts......
At home I use freebase in my tanks on my mods BUT I'm so very clumsy and drop everything given half of a chance so I always have a pocketful of disposables which are nice salts.
These seem to hold more flavour BUT that could just be my liquid at home getting older!!

I have to agree, as a returnee to vaping and first time user of disposables the flavour is the best I've ever had. I’m hooked. I’ve no idea if it’s the nic salts that make the difference in flavour.

I'm guessing that Freebase is the good old fashioned 72 nic given a new name.

Yes, that's correct. Freebase nicotine is what originally was only available. Nic salts are a newer/different form of nicotine that has more recently come onto the market.

Couldn't answer the poll ... no option to select something like "never tried salts, not concerned if I never do" and, as some others have already said "Lots of freebase in the freezer, no need to buy anything else"


Oh - Hi all!
