[QUOTE="bombastinator, post: 23728690, member: 43994"] Most probably. Putting stuff in your body has many issues though. Besides base allergies there can be flavor allergies or Metal allergies that can apply to coil types. Also salts are technically all different chemicals. “Nic salts” is sort of a misnomer. This is one reason “nic salts” creep me out. The way you make a salt is you mix an acid and a base. Some sort of exothermic reaction occurs and because of that the compound is more stable. This is why nic salts were actually invented: longer shelf life. TLDNR: why I think the term nic salts is BS [I]“Table salt” is sodium and chlorine. The reaction is supposed to be so exothermic it’s almost an explosion, and the result is real real stable. But it works with all of them. ANY ACID and ANY BASE. You can take unprotonated or“freebase” nic and drop some in a jar of apple cider vinegar and get a nic salt. It’ll taste like ... but it’s a nic salt. Nic is a weak base, so there are a whole mess of weak acids that work. Each makes a different chemical that behaves differently. A common one is malic acid. That’s the stuff they use in nicotine gum. It’s the only one there has actually been testing on. It was NOT the one Juul used though. They actually kept theirs as a trade secret. Some of them taste awful, some of them are poisonous. And they’re all “nic salts”. I know a guy who is allergic to one of the common ones but not the other common one, so whether he has a proble, is random. He mostly just vapes unprotonated[/I] TLDNR: why I think the word freebase is BS [I]it’s not really a freebase. Only sort of. It’s like that website “technically the truth” it is and it isn’t depending on what you mean. But freebase ....... had really bad press so the tobacco companies pushed the wording because even though they now say they don’t, they still hate ecigs and will lie about them. There is proof. Just because somebody says something doesn’t make it true. Watch what they DO. Don’t fall for the head fake. It causes all kinds of problems.[/I] Like a third of humanity is allergic to nickel for example, so Ni coils can have problems. Most stuff is SS these days because it’s cheap, and I’ve never heard of anyone being allergic to it but I don’t hear everything. I would put you in an RDA and a generic button mod because they’re easy to totally clean and swap stuff out of, so you have good control. and either move you to an RTA or a squonk ear later once it is known what the heck is up. Something with a squonk pin in case it turns out you really like the thing and want to go squonker. If you’re flush theres also Boro stuff. That tooo waits until it is known what is up. Maybe look at 3fvape and get some cheap clone stuff you can toss later if you want without feeling too bad about it. Also read up on DIY. My suspicion is that is going to be a thing. [/QUOTE]
