What Are Nic Salts?

Nic salts, short for nicotine salts, are a form of nicotine that feels smoother to inhale than the freebase nicotine used in traditional e-liquid, especially at higher strengths. That's why nic salts are often chosen by people switching from smoking, who want a satisfying vape without a harsh throat hit. In the UK, nic salts are sold in bottles of up to 10ml at a maximum strength of 20mg/ml. Our guide, nic salts: 5 common questions answered, goes into more detail.

Nic Salts or Freebase E-Liquid?

Both are vape juice, but they suit different devices. Nic salts deliver a smoother hit at 10mg to 20mg, so they work best in low-powered pod kits and MTL devices. Freebase 10ml e-liquids give a more traditional throat hit and are usually chosen at lower strengths, while big-bottle shortfills are made for sub ohm kits. Our guide to freebase nicotine or nicotine salts compares the two.

Choosing a Strength

20mg is the strongest nic salt sold in the UK and is often chosen by heavier smokers who are new to vaping. 10mg suits moderate smokers and everyday vapers, and 5mg suits lighter users or anyone stepping down their nicotine. A few ranges, such as Just Juice, also offer 11mg. If you're unsure, read what strength vape liquid should I choose?

Which Devices Suit Nic Salts?

Nic salts are designed for compact refillable pod vape kits, vape pens and MTL tanks with higher-resistance coils, usually around 0.8 ohms and above. They aren't suited to high-powered sub ohm kits, where the higher power and vapour production would make even a 10mg nic salt feel too strong.

Bar-Style Nic Salts

Bar salts recreate the sweet, punchy flavours of pre-filled vapes in a 10ml bottle, so you can enjoy them in your own refillable pod kit with more choice and a lower running cost. Popular bar-style ranges include Elux Legend, ELFLIQ, Bar Juice 5000, SKE Crystal Original Salts, Ghost Salts and RandM Tornado.

More Nic Salt Ranges

Beyond bar flavours, you'll find tobacco and dessert specialists such as Pod Salt, OXVA's own OX Passion, and brand ranges from Dinner Lady, Riot Squad and Doozy. Use the filters to narrow by brand, flavour and strength.
