My understanding on the salts vs freebase nicotine is the way nicotine is extracted from the tobacco leafs. The other difference is the salts are more stable but need an additive to be absorbed in the blood?

OK, thanks. So what would be my incentive for tripling my cost?

I'm purdy sure you're right on that one, DPL. I'd think we've salted for many a year now.... at one-third the cost. ;)
I've not tried them myself, but I am curious if they are improved over plain ole nic. Nude nicotine seems to making claims of improved stability which sounds useful with all the hoarding.

Yeah - I remember when they broke in with the "argon gas" or whatever it is. We did some research that indicated degradation was not something to be concerned about, so we decided that their asking price (double the norm) wasn't worth it. That's a personal decision though, and it was just the correct one for us.

Now this at TRIPLE???

Mmmmmm..... (unlikely, me). That's a lotta dough.

I honestly thought the salt was like something you added to your own nic. I'm stocked up on nic and can't justify buying nic with salt, when I'm happy with what I have. I'm glad people seem to like it.
I'm just going to use what I have.

Besides the claims of being more stable than the old fashioned freebase nicotine, it is supposed to be much "smoother" and allow vapers to use a higher % in their juice without the harsh, raw throat hit. By using a higher % in your juice you will get that "jolt" you used to get from the ol' cigs and supposedly vape less. Personally, I would try it because of the stability factor. My goal is to eliminate nicotine but I will continue vaping because I really enjoy the flavors. It has been a long road for me from 1 1/2 to 2 PAD (with spikes to 4 PAD) and many times it felt like pushing a car...uphill....with a rope!

Yo Rixy - hi dude.
Yo Kattykins ! Sup

I'm still in hospital (quad bike fall for those that didn't know)

In bed all day, insomnia at night..it's close on 3.30am here.

Chips / Fries aside, I'd say the nic salt would benefit the tootles more due to the higher PG in your juices, I dunno, maybe it's a gimmick, without trying it I'm pulling at straws.........and necks o_O

Weebles!!!!!!!!!
I had these when I was a kid, original ones too, bet they would be worth something now, I used to love rolling them around the floor.........back in the day :p

Nicotine is present in crystalline form in the tobacco leaves, it is the "stable" form. The point most everyone forgets to mention is the need of a catalyst for the nicotine crystals (salts) to be assimilated (absorbed) in the blood stream. I think I remember reading elsewhere that JUUL uses a form of benzoate in their e-liquid.

I'm going to order some as I'm about to mix up a liter ? Litre... of Vendetta (Lime and cookie) so I'd like to see if I can notice any difference.

Hmm, getting nic salts here in the TPD filled UK is not going to be easy, you can buy it in pre made juice but not on it's own.

You've got chutzpah to mix a full liter on a first try with salts. I will try salts but I'll take a timid 10 ml first step before going full bore. Just my two pence here.
