Nic Salts vs Freebase Nicotine: Which is Right for You?

What Are Nic Salts?

Nic salts use benzoic acid to make nicotine smoother at high strengths. This means you can vape 20mg without the harsh throat hit of traditional e-liquid. They are ideal for pod kits and low-wattage devices.

What is Freebase Nicotine?

Freebase (standard) nicotine gives a stronger throat hit and is best at lower strengths (3-12mg) with sub-ohm devices. It produces more vapour and is better for cloud chasers.

Which Should You Choose?

If you are a new vaper or heavy smoker: nic salts at 20mg. If you enjoy big clouds and sub-ohm vaping: freebase at 3-6mg. If you are trying to reduce nicotine: start high and step down gradually.
