At Flawless Vape, our goal is to deliver the perfect vaping experience for every individual, no matter how flexible or demanding their preferences are. With our range of nic salts, you can keep up with your nicotine cravings without making your throat pay the price.

The best thing about our nic salts range is that they come in various flavours, making it easy to find a flavour that suits your preferences and needs.  

What are Nic Salts?

Nic salt is a type of nicotine naturally found in tobacco leaves. Unlike traditional freebase nicotine, which is chemically altered to create a more alkaline pH, nic salts are able to maintain their natural structure of nicotine.

Because of this, you will find that nicotine offers many unique benefits, such as smoother inhaling and faster nicotine absorption.

Nic salts are more stable on a molecular level than freebase nicotine, which means you can keep your nicotine salt vape juice longer without it breaking down or oxidising. Simply put, nicotine salt is actually the original format of nicotine when extracted from the tobacco plant.

Nic salt is added to vape juice to make nic salt e-liquids. Vape juices that use nic salts instead of freebase nicotine come in stronger strengths of up to 20mg.

One of the outstanding things about our range of nic salt vape juices is their ability to deliver a stronger nicotine hit without being harsh on the throat. This range of vape liquids is an ideal option for those looking to transition away from traditional cigarettes because they pack enough nicotine to satisfy cravings throughout the day.

Why are Nic Salts Popular?

From the description, it’s easy to see why e-liquids have continued to rise in popularity since they hit the market. They offer a stronger and faster-absorbing nicotine. They are ideal for those making the switch from smoking while being a great alternative to traditional nicotine.

The rise of disposable vapes over the last few years has also accelerated the popularity of nic salts, especially the introduction of bar salts, which offer stronger, concentrated nic salts to replicate the flavours found in disposables.

However, we now stock nicotine salt vape juices for pod devices, more advanced box mods, and sub-ohm vape devices.

How are Nic Salts Different from Freebase Nicotine?

It’s still possible to find vape juices made from freebase nicotine, which is why it is essential to distinguish between nic salts and freebase nicotine to determine the best option for you.

There are quite a number of differences between freebase nicotine and nic salts, such as the following:

They are Absorbed Differently

Nic salts are incredibly fast-acting, which makes them the perfect option when you want a quick fix to your nicotine cravings. They can be absorbed into the bloodstream in about 6 seconds. In essence, nic salts are designed to mimic a similar feeling to the nicotine rush a cigarette offers.

They are absorbed quickly and also leave your system more quickly. They alleviate your cravings more quickly and with fewer puffs than freebase nicotine. This is why nicotine salts are popular among ex-smokers: They offer a near-instant fix of nicotine that freebase nicotine can't.

Flavour and Throat Hit

One of the downsides of having too much freebase nicotine in a vape liquid is that it alters the flavour and makes it more peppery, which not only affects the taste of your e-liquid but also makes the throat hit harsher.

Nicotine salts have a more neutral pH. They have a much softer throat hit, even at high levels, and won't affect the flavour of your e-liquid. For comparison, a 3mg freebase nicotine e-liquid will have about as much throat hit as a 20mg nic salt solution.

Nic salts vaporise at a lower temperature, meaning they're great in low-powered mouth-to-lung kits. The best part is that you can cape higher concentrations of nic salts without compromising the flavour or discomfort in your throat.

Benefits of Nicotine Salts

Going for nicotine salt vape liquids comes with various benefits that make the vaping experience more enjoyable and ensure you get the right results after your vaping sessions. Some of the benefits you can get from opting for nic salts:

Smooth Throat Hit

Because nic salts contain benzoic acid to reduce the pH levels, the vape juice will provide a smoother throat hit. This means you can manage much higher nicotine strengths to satisfy your cravings without the harsh throat hit found in higher-strength freebase nicotine vape juice.

Fast Absorption

Nicotine salts act much more quickly than freebase nicotine. Their function replicates the nicotine rush found in smoking cigarettes. Because this form of e-liquid is absorbed and eliminated from your system rapidly, you can satisfy nicotine cravings more effectively without having to vape as frequently as with freebase nicotine.

Higher Concentration

Our nicotine salt vape liquids typically contain higher concentrations of nicotine salts than freebase nicotine. The added benefit is that the high nicotine concentration doesn't affect the flavour, which allows you to enjoy that aspect of vaping.

Less E-liquid Required

With a higher nicotine strength and flavour, you may find yourself vaping less e-liquid with nic salts compared to other formats. The fast absorption of the nic salts also plays a role here. Additionally, nic salts are designed for lower-powered pod kits, which means you not only get the right nicotine to satisfy your cravings in a shorter time, but also the device doesn't burn a lot of your e-liquid, which means you need to vape less to get your desired results.

Cost Effective

Thanks to offering strong flavour and nicotine hits with lower-powered devices, nicotine salts deliver a cost-effective solution to the majority of vapers. In addition, you get the same great flavours at a fraction of the price.

What Ingredients Are in Nic Salts?

Although nic salts are similar to freebase nicotine, they have different ingredients that offer the smoother experience that nic salts are known for. Here are some of the ingredients that make up our range of nic salt e-liquids:

Benzoic Acid

This is one of the key ingredients in nicotine salts. It helps reduce the liquid's pH and makes it less alkaline. It also enables the nicotine salts to provide a smoother throat hit and enhance the speed of nicotine absorption.

Nicotine Salts

Nic salts remain in their natural state, which allows for higher nicotine strengths without the harsh throat hit. This results in a vaping experience that closely mimics the nicotine absorption of smoking traditional cigarettes.

Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerine

These are ingredients in all vape liquids. They are added in various ratios to deliver different vaping experiences. For nic salts, they are commonly mixed in a 50/50 ratio. PG is responsible for carrying the flavour and providing a throat hit, while VG adds vapour production.

Flavourings

Nic salt e-liquids also contain flavourings that give each e-liquid its unique flavour. We stock nic salts with natural flavourings that deliver distinct and delicious flavours with a rich profile.
