I remember the days before nic salts. I remember people curiously trying a vape, eyes bulging as they coughed their way through freebase nicotine. But nic salts came and showed everyone just how pleasant vaping could be. And now, when it comes down to choosing the best nic salt juice, there are just so many options.
So, let me break down some great choices that will suit a wide range of taste preferences! Fancy a minty kick? Or some fruity fun? Or a puff of some good old tobacco?
The Best Nic Salt Juice is: Bombo Remaster Crema Santa
Bombo Remaster Crema Santa, in my opinion, is the best nic salt juice available today.
Ordinarily, I take a ‘less is more’ approach to vape juice tastes, and too many flavours can overwhelm. Well, somehow those Spanish geniuses at Bombo blended cake, cream, chocolate, nuts and coconut without ever making any of the indulgence indistinct.
A true marvel, and the best dessert vape juice I’ve ever tried, nic salt or not.
The Best Nicotine Salt E-liquids Are:
- Bombo Remaster Crema Santa
- Wick Liq Pink Gin Tonic
- Just Juice XXX Mint
- Bar Juice 5000 Pear Banana
- IVG Intense Salts Retro Orange
- The Lancashire Creamery Butterscotch Ice Cream Deluxe
- Supergood Fruit Pineapple Coconut & Nectarine

Bombo Remaster Crema Santa
Insanely indulgent dessert vape that tastes like a Spanish patisserie
Why We Recommend It
- Complex layering of dessert flavours that actually delivers on its ambitious profile.
- Rich enough to satisfy sweet cravings without needing actual snacks.
- Premium quality ingredients shine through in every puff.
Bombo’s Remaster Crema Santa Nic Salt is, without a doubt, one of the most indulgent dessert blends I’ve ever tried. Moist, sugary cake notes are layered with chocolate icing, crushed nuts, whipped cream, and shavings of sweet, dessicated coconut.
While most other attempts at such a cacophony of tastes would result in a messy, unclear profile, Bombo perfectly captures every single listed flavour, and they’re all present and vibrant with every puff.
Pros
- Incredibly detailed flavour profile with distinct notes
- Satisfying throat hit despite being a sweet blend
- Feels like a treat without the calories
Cons
- Too rich for all-day vaping for some users
- A high sweetness level means more frequent coil changes
Wick Liq Pink Gin Tonic
A mature mocktail for elegant puffs
Why We Recommend It
- Distinctive gin botanicals result in a very grown-up taste
- A smooth and gentle throat hit that won’t irritate
- Available in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg, a rare trio!
Beverage vapes are some of my favourites, and while this particular G&T won’t help with malaria due to a lack of quinine content, it did a fine job of transporting me poolside. The gentle berry notes work excellently with the subtle gin botanicals, resulting in a sophisticated profile.
It may be a little subtle for those accustomed to punishing their tongues with nothing but Tangy Rainbow Laces W/ Extra Sugar vape juice variants, but those seeking something unique (and available in 5mg!) will certainly enjoy Wick Liq’s Pink Gin Tonic Bar Salt.
Pros
- A unique taste you’ve not vaped before
- Ideal for sunny day pod vaping
- No lingering, oppressive sweetness
Cons
- Not for the purely sweet-toothed vaper
- Those used to bar salts may find the botanicals subtle
Just Juice XXX Mint
An icy blast of cool and minty refreshment, solid and straightforward
Why We Recommend It
- Impressively frosty menthol blasts
- Clean, crisp mint flavour that cleanses your palate
- 60PG content makes it ideal for pod vaping
Part of Just Juice’s new Mint range of, well, mint nic salts; XXX Mint is an attempt to convey the shocking blast contained within that one forbidden pack of mints. You know, the black ones, the ones that kids don’t like. Yeah, THOSE mints.
The 60PG content results in a thin and watery vape juice that’s perfectly served by pod kits. And best of all, due to the choice to focus on coolness rather than flavour, you can use XXX Mint as a mix with all sorts of other vape juices!
Pros
- Refreshing and aggressive
- Pleasantly neutral and suitable for mixing
- As cool as menthol vape juice gets
Cons
- Somewhat dull for those seeking a sweet flavour
- Your tongue can grow used to it relatively fast
Bar Juice 5000 Pear Banana
A creamy fruit combo that’s different from the usual berry juice
Why We Recommend It
- The pear adds a delicate sweetness that balances the banana, preventing it from being too overpowering or artificial.
- The creamy texture of the flavour profile makes it feel luxurious and smooth.
- Captures the disposable bar experience ideally if you’re trying to make the switch to refillable products.
If the ‘banana ice’ explosion taught us anything, it’s that banana is an insanely versatile vape juice flavouring. And Bar Juice 5000’s Pear Banana Nic Salt adds a whole new dimension to what bananas are capable of.
The sweet, light, juicy pear taste is enveloped in a rich and creamy banana note, the tangy notes mixing with the sumptuous flavour effortlessly. The result is a truly memorable blend of two ordinary fruits that you realise you’ve been underestimating for years.
Pros
- Natural-tasting fruit blend that doesn’t taste artificial
- Smooth and creamy without being heavy
- Works perfectly in low-powered pod systems
Cons
- The banana can dominate if you’re not a fan of that flavour
- Sweetness level might be too much for those preferring sharper profiles
IVG Intense Salts Retro Orange
A perfect ‘fizzy orange beverage’ recreation
Why We Recommend It
- Fizzy orange soda flavour with an incredibly nostalgic taste profile
- The carbonated element adds an unexpected dimension you don’t get in most citrus vapes.
- IVG’s quality control ensures consistent flavour from the first puff to the last drop.
Citrus vapes usually stick to lemon and lime, so it’s always interesting when orange gets some play. IVG is particularly skilled at fruity flavours, so I was very keen to try this out, and I was not disappointed!
The orange taste is clear, warm, vibrant and juicy, with a perfect additional note of ‘gassiness’ that perfectly conveys that ‘freshly opened can’ taste note. Frankly, you haven’t tried a nic salt like this before!
Pros
- Unique fizzy sensation that genuinely mimics a carbonated drink
- Bright, uplifting flavour perfect for morning vapes
- Not too sweet despite the soda profile
Cons
- The fizzy element might not appeal to traditionalists
- Can be slightly tangy for those with sensitive palatesThe fizzy element might not appeal to traditionalists
The Lancashire Creamery Butterscotch Ice Cream Deluxe
Creamy vanilla and fiery butterscotch sauce deliver a deliriously sweet contrast
Why We Recommend It
- Deep, authentic butterscotch flavour that tastes like the real thing rather than cheap candy.
- Creamy ice cream base adds smoothness to the intense butterscotch notes.
- Perfect for satisfying dessert cravings without the sugar crash.
We’ve come a *long way* from the days when vape juice was a choice between tobacco/mint/berries. And this brave new future allows you to sample treats like The Lancashire Creamery’s Butterscotch Ice Cream Deluxe.
While it may overwhelm some moderate vapers, the rich, fiery taste of dark butterscotch drizzled over a sumptuous bowl of vanilla ice cream is too tempting to not try at least once.
Pros
- Genuinely tastes like premium butterscotch sauce
- Smooth, creamy vapour production
- Luxurious treat for special occasions or evening vapes
Cons
- Extremely rich—definitely not subtle
- Sweet profile means it’s not an all-day vape for everyone
Supergood Fruit Pineapple Coconut & Nectarine
A trip to the tropics, bottled
Why We Recommend It
- Exotic fruit combination that feels premium rather than a generic tropical mix.
- The nectarine adds a stone-fruit sweetness that elevates the usual pineapple-coconut pairing.
- Smooth, layered flavour profile that reveals different notes throughout your vaping session.
Supergood have been smashing out the nic salts, with their Uncommon range serving up amazing dessert blends. However, it’s within the realm of fruits that they really showcase their skills, and Pineapple Coconut & Nectarine Nic Salt from the Supergood Fruits range is a dazzling and unique e-liquid combination.
The coconut is deliciously authentic, with a subtle woodiness behind the cream, which itself melds with the pineapple and nectarine, creating a smooth and gentle lassi/pina colada vibe.
FAQ
Are Nicotine Salts Safe?
Nicotine salt e-liquids are as safe as any other form of e-liquid. No studies suggest any health issues stemming from the use of nicotine salts. While nicotine salts should never be consumed orally, the same can be said of any nicotine solution.
For more details on nicotine salt vape juice, check out our What Are Nic Salts guide.
What Kind of Vape is Used for Salt Nic?
Nic salt vape juices are compatible with the majority of vape kits, vape pens and pod kits, as they’re usually brewed with a 50VG/50PG or high-PG base. Almost all the best pod vape kits will feature pods or coils with ohmages of 0.8 ohms and higher, which are perfect for nic salts. Just be sure not to use a cloudy sub-ohm kit for nic salts, as they’ll leak out of the airflow ports.
MTL vs. Nic Salts: What’s the Difference?
Technically there isn’t one, as all the best nic salts are MTL juices, however not all the best MTL vape juice uses nic salts.
Traditionally, regular e-liquid was made using what’s now referred to as “freebase” nicotine solution. It has a characteristic “hit” to the throat and chest when inhaled, which many enjoy, but others find irritating.
Nic salt e-liquid was made to address this issue by using harmless benzoic acid to neutrialise the “kick” associated with freebase nicotine and provide a smoother throat hit.
Is It Normal for Nic Salt Vape Juice To Make You Dizzy?
If you feel dizzy or lightheaded when vaping nic salt vape juice, you have not yet adjusted to the intensity nic salt vape juice provides. Compared to freebase e-liquids, nic salts quickly deliver a surge of nicotine into your body – similar to smoking cigarettes. To prevent dizziness when vaping, (1) you can switch to freebase vape juice, (2) opt for nic salt e-liquid with a lower nicotine strength, or (3) minimize puffing frequency.
