What is Salt Nic E-Liquid?
Salt Nicotine, regularly known as salt nic or nic salt liquids has revolutionized the vaping industry. Capable of carrying higher nicotine levels, salt nic has become the perfect tool for even the heaviest of smokers to make the switch from cigarettes to vaping.
The key component to salt nic is nicotine salt. Unlike nicotine found in standard vape e-liquid (or sub-ohm liquid), nicotine salt is a more stable form of nicotine that occurs naturally in the tobacco plant.
Salt nic handles higher levels of nicotine with ease. The standard levels offered in vape e-liquid are 0mg (nicotine free), 3mg, 6mg, and 12 mg -- 3mg and 6mg being the more commonly available to vape enthusiasts at large. Previously to salt nicotine, many brands would even offer 18mg and 24mg.
In traditional vape e-liquid, however, the higher nicotine levels often do not come without sacrifice: the higher the nicotine without the right VG/PG ratio, the less flavor and the harsher the throat hit. Salt nic, on the other hand, is designed specifically to manage the higher nicotine levels, offering instead a range from 22mg to 55mg on average.
Many brands offer two levels of nicotine in every flavor; 25mg and 50mg are the most common, with a close second being 35mg and 50mg. These nicotine levels serve multiple purposes to the vape community, offering a customizable vape experience, as well as offering a way for people to slowly step down in their nicotine levels as they work to reduce their nicotine intake or cease using nicotine altogether.
For salt nic, the right VG/PG ratio that makes this possible is 50/50. This ratio, an even split between Vegetable Glycerine and Propylene Glycol, makes the juice thicker than standard vape e-liquid, but also more capable of holding the extra nicotine stably. Having a higher level of PG also means that salt nic provides a satisfying throat hit -- another plus for those that are seeking to quit smoking cigarettes but don't quite find enough satisfaction in standard vape e-liquid.
Salt nic is best at low wattages, with high ohm coils. Pod systems were designed specifically with salt nic, offering more fine-tuned coil and pod options at lower power levels to provide the experience vape users want. These devices are slim, discrete, and perfect for those just entering the vape world and not quite comfortable with larger devices that often come with more settings to adjust and parts to understand.
