Nicotine Salts

Ready to try nicotine salt e-liquids? Our selection includes trusted names like Drifter, Bar Juice and Dr. Vapes, giving you plenty of choices for your next all-day vape. Nicotine salts come in two strengths - 10mg for a smoother throat hit and steady nicotine delivery and 20mg when you want a stronger hit that feels closer to smoking. The smooth throat hit of nic salts makes them perfect for pod devices. Browse our range of flavours from fruity blends to classic tobacco notes.

What Are Nicotine Salts and How Do They Differ From Regular E-liquid?

Nicotine salts (nic salts) are a specially formulated type of e-liquid that uses nicotine in its natural salt form, combined with benzoic acid. This creates a smoother vaping experience compared to traditional freebase nicotine, especially at higher strengths.

Nic salts are absorbed more quickly into the bloodstream, providing a satisfaction level closer to traditional cigarettes. They're ideal for new vapers transitioning from smoking and those who prefer a more immediate nicotine effect. 

For a detailed explanation, check out our complete guide to nic salts.

Which Nicotine Strength Should I Choose: 10mg or 20mg?

Your choice should be based on your current smoking habits. 

20mg: Best for:

  • Heavy smokers (15+ cigarettes per day)
  • Those who recently quit smoking
  • Vapers wanting a stronger nicotine hit

10mg: Suitable for:

  • Light to moderate smokers (under 15 cigarettes per day)
  • Those who find 20mg too strong
  • Vapers looking to gradually reduce nicotine intake

What Type of Device Should I Use With Nicotine Salts?

Nicotine salts are specifically designed for use with pod-style devices or MTL (mouth-to-lung) tanks

  • Low wattage (typically under 25W)
  • Higher resistance coils (usually 1.0ohm or above)
  • Smaller devices with tighter draws

Using nic salts in high-powered sub-ohm devices is not recommended as it can lead to excessive nicotine intake. Learn more about mouth-to-lung vaping to understand why it's perfect for nic salts.

How Long Will a Bottle of Nic Salts Last?

The duration depends on several factors:

  • Your vaping frequency
  • Device efficiency
  • Puff duration
  • Individual vaping style

On average, a typical vaper using a pod system might use 1-2ml per day, meaning a 10ml bottle could last approximately 5-10 days. However, this can vary significantly between users.

What’s the Best Way to Store Nicotine Salts?

To maintain the quality of your nic salts:

  • Keep in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight
  • Store at room temperature (20-25°C)
  • Keep bottles tightly sealed when not in use
  • Store away from children and pets
  • Avoid extreme temperatures
  • Use within 1-2 years of manufacture

Frequently Asked Questions

Nic salts come in a wide range of strengths, so you should choose a strength that works for you and your needs. 

If you used to smoke around 5 to 10 cigarettes a day, then a 6 to 10mg strength nic salt will work well for you. However, if you were used to smoking around an entire pack a day, then you could go for 20mg straight away, or start with 10mg and top up the tank with a 20mg variant if the hit is not strong enough.

If you’re an ex-smoker who’s used to smoking more than a pack a day, then 20mg nic strength and above would offer a better and easier transition from smoking to vaping.
