Ordered Nude Nics Smooth salts in PG which found its way safely to the UK in about 7 days. Came in a 250ml brown plastic bottle with a plain cap, no child safety cap sadly.
Liquid is a pale brown already, they say this is normal and not a sign of oxidisation.
I bought this to use in the newer pod systems like the Von Erl and MyJet. I had some RY-..... mixed just waiting for its nic fix, i made a 24mg 50/50 batch to test in the Von Erl (VE), Aspire K2 and KFMv3.
In the VE, 24mg is easy on the throat and flavour was about the same as 12mg normal nic. You could feel the nic hit but felt i wanted more. I later used 36mg with a NET from T-juice (Cubana), now i can feel the hit and is starting to taste harsh buts its not too bad especially considering PG was around 60%.
In the KFMv3, 24mg is too harsh for me, although bare in mind that i have a very sensitive throat due to other health issues and probably would be fine for most that like throat hit. Hence why i wanted to try this 'smooth' nic.
Focusing on the K2, i tried 12,18, 24 and 36mg with the NET.
At 12mg, you wouldnt even know there was any nic, at 18mg theres a tad of harshness but i can still taste the subtle sweetness of the leaf, which is impressive considering i had to dilute an already mixed batch of NET.
At 24mg, theres throat hit and harshness, but its not too bad. At 36mg, its all throat hit and nic hit. Not much in terms of subtle flavour, but again its vapable. If i vaped 36mg with normal nic, i would be on the ground coughing my lungs out.
As for nic hit, its definitely faster, i could feel the first pull of 36mg hit fast. Taste seems pretty neutral, although i havent vaped it raw yet. Main thing absent is the bitter harshness that i get with normal nic above 6mg, even at 24mg, which is exactly what i hoped for.
So for me, its a keeper. Next time i will order PG and VG versions so i have a 50/50 base to work with.
I havent tried the JUUL yet to compare and still waiting for my pre-made nic salt juice from Mr Salt-E.

Thanks, your review is going to cost me $$$. I stocked up on NN, stored in freezer for long term FDA reasons. They did not have salt versions a few months a go. I don't like or want throat hit. I want my nic but not taste it, only my flavor recipe. I mix max VG to 10%, but could use more NIC to satisfy, but above 10-12%, I get the harshness I don't like either.
So this new SMOOTH is something I now have to buy. I'm sure it will help my creamy smooth banana dream recipe, and I'd get more NIC at 20%. Without the harshness and less TH. THANKS for your review, I've been swayed. The regular NN was transferred to glass bottles with polycone caps and can leave those in the freezer for years to come. So I just get a small size 250ml, and give it a Vape!

Sorry..
Try a small sample first, think they do 15mL for free. All tastes and opinions are subjective!
I did mean to address that in the post, but it was long enough already. So i thought i would wait till someone asked..
I normally get my nic from Piratesvape, who use Nerudia. Its the best normal nic i could find. PV shut up shop after the TPD kicked in sadly.
I compared Nude to EverythingEliquid nic, who sent me a TPD complaint 20mg sample from a Swiss lab. Its pretty good, close to Nerudia and Nicopure.
Doing some follow up testing with the nic salts.
9mg with my diy Mega Melons in the Serpent Mini and NarDA. There is zero harshness or taste, its like vaping zero nic.
I popped into my local vape shop and handed round the Serpent, asked what nic level, they all said either zero or 3mg. Jaws hit the floor when i said 9mg.

Agreed. I made my first large batch of custard and it is like a zero. I made it at 5mg with the smooth nic salt and had to add a bit of standard nude nic to get a bit more throat hit. Imparts no taste to the mix. I could probably drop the flavoring several percent. I will try that when I finish this 800mls.
For comparison I Vape at 50 watts, dual 6 wrap kanthal coil at .5 ohms in a Sapor v2.
I like the idea of using the salt nic for newcomers that give up because of coughing.
Worth noting that NN do balanced and extra throat hit as part of the nic salts range.
So, since I try to make vaping even more expensive I will be trying some of this in the coming weeks

Yea I started a thread on it in vaping discussion, it works out for me only $100 extra a liter with shipping to AUS
Hmm, interesting... I couldn't really understand if it's synthetic nic or nic extracted from e.g. tomatoes and such, with it's highly descriptive explenation, lol, of "only made by the combination of Molecular Chemistry and not derived from Tobacco leaf, stem or waste dust."
Anyway, nice to get this thread back and up going again

That's an interesting, but kind of vague website.
Who are they and from what country.
Obviously not an English speaking one. Is it Chinese?

Yep, they are Chinese but they have a good reputation here in Australia for nicotine.
I look forward to reading the comparisons once a few members have a chance to try it!
Can anyone tell me what I am avoiding with this "alternate" source (at twice/three times the price)? Last I checked; the problem wasn't tobacco, but ALL the additives PLUS combustion. Sincere question... not trying to be a "tool."
