Hey vapers! Let’s talk about the two main types of nicotine in e-liquids: Nicotine Salts and Freebase Nicotine. Understanding their differences can really help you choose what’s right for your vaping style and needs.
What is Freebase Nicotine?
This is the “traditional” form found in most regular e-liquids and tobacco products. It’s pure nicotine that provides a stronger throat hit, especially at higher strengths. Perfect for:
-
Sub-ohm vaping at lower strengths (3-12mg)
-
Vapers who enjoy that classic “kick” in the throat
-
Direct-to-Lung (DL) setups
What are Nicotine Salts?
These are nicotine combined with benzoic acid, making it smoother even at higher concentrations. Key features:
-
Much smoother throat hit at high strengths (20-50mg)
-
Faster nicotine absorption
-
Ideal for Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) and pod systems
-
Great for former heavy smokers
Quick Comparison:
-
Smoothness: Salts win (less harsh at high mg)
-
Throat Hit: Freebase wins (more pronounced)
-
Absorption: Salts are faster
-
Device Compatibility: Freebase for DL, Salts for MTL/pods
Pro Tip: Start lower than you think! Many smokers transitioning to vaping find 20mg salts sufficient even if they smoked heavily.
