Nic salt e-liquid is what makes a small pod kit satisfying enough to replace cigarettes. Nicotine in salt form is absorbed faster than freebase nicotine and stays far smoother in the throat at the same strength, so a few short draws settle a craving instead of a long session. Every bottle here is 10ml at a UK-legal strength.
What nic salt is, and why it suits pod kits
Freebase nicotine is harsh at high strengths, which is why big-bottle e-liquid is usually sold at 3mg or 6mg and vaped through a powerful device. Nicotine salt changes that. It is gentler on the throat, so 20mg becomes comfortable in a small device drawing very little power, and it reaches the bloodstream quickly enough to feel like a cigarette does. That combination is the reason pod kits work as a way off smoking, and it is why almost everything in this collection is mixed at 50/50 VG/PG, thin enough to wick through the small, higher-resistance coils those kits use.
Choosing a strength
Twenty milligrams is the UK legal maximum and the right starting point for anyone who has recently put cigarettes down, because it settles cravings quickly when they are at their strongest. Ten milligrams is the step down once vaping has replaced smoking rather than competed with it, and the throat hit starts to feel like more than it needs to be. Five milligrams is the last rung for vapers who are down to habit alone. Most ranges carry the same flavours across every strength, so working down never costs the taste.
Which devices these bottles suit
Mouth-to-lung pod kits and low-wattage starter kits, where the draw is tight and cigarette-like. They are not intended for high-wattage sub-ohm tanks: at 20mg, the nicotine delivered per puff by a sub-ohm device would be far too much, and a thin 50/50 liquid tends to leak past larger coils. If a device produces big clouds and an airy draw, it wants a shortfill instead.
What UK law allows
Nicotine-containing e-liquid sold in the UK is capped at 10ml per bottle and 20mg/ml nicotine, and every bottle must carry a child-resistant, tamper-evident cap with the correct warnings. Everything in this collection is supplied on that basis, TPD and TPR compliant.
Nic Salt E-Liquids frequently asked questions
What is the difference between nic salt and normal e-liquid?
What is the difference between nic salt and normal e-liquid?
Nic salt uses nicotine in salt form, which is smoother in the throat and absorbed faster, so it works at higher strengths in small low-power devices. Normal freebase e-liquid is usually sold at lower strengths for bigger sub-ohm devices.
What strength nic salt should I buy?
What strength nic salt should I buy?
20mg if you have recently stopped smoking, 10mg once cravings have eased, 5mg if you are down to habit alone. The same flavours usually run across all three.
Can I use nic salt in a sub-ohm tank?
Can I use nic salt in a sub-ohm tank?
No. High-strength nic salt is made for low-power mouth-to-lung pod kits. In a sub-ohm device it would deliver far too much nicotine per puff.
How many refills does a 10ml bottle give?
How many refills does a 10ml bottle give?
A 10ml bottle fills a 2ml pod five times, which for most vapers is several days of vaping from one bottle.
Why are bottles only 10ml?
