Well, I read the article which was pretty much in line with what I know about nic salts, yeah.

I still say they can be used in sub0hm devices at the right dosage. They perform like regular nicotine, at a similar dosage. I don't really see WHY one would use nicotine salts in sub0hm devices as I mainly use them because they are less harsh. 3 mg of nicsalts would be equivalent more or less to 3 mg of freebase, but really at that level of nicotine, there is no really NEED to use nic salts, as the lack of harshness won't really (for most people) make a substantial difference in terms of throat hit. If someone desires nic salts in a sub0hm vape, I don't see it as substantially more dangerous AT the right nicotine level.

With that said, probably the warnings on "high salt nic premade juices" are probably reasonable because if you did still a HIGH m.g. salt juice designed for a less powerful delivery system in a sub0hm device the results would be BAD, and maybe even more so since they are more quickly absorbed.

With that said, if someone is making their own nic salts, well, they can do so in any delivery device their heart desires.

The one thing I learned of use (to me) is that they are more stable and may store longer better. There is a method of converting freebase to nic salts by using citric acid, and I've considered whether I want to stockpile more regular nic (less expensive) and do it "myself" when the time comes, but if they store better longer, it would make sense for me to continue buying nic salts to freeze and/or converting them before I freeze them.

Pretty much.

I also notice that most of them are fruit flavored but they do have a couple of custards also which is what I like.

Yep you're right I think Anna. I don't know what that high of nic would be like in using this stuff. Thinking about trying the Strawberry Custard. I don't see any reason you couldn't use the salts in a subohm either it would just have to be adjusted for that but like you say it's kind of defeating the purpose. You could just use the freebase like we do now. I'm in a spot that my lungs just won't take even 12mg of freebase without it hurting and I'm having a really bad time with flegm plus the cancerous nodules. If I could just take a puff like every 30 min or so it would be great. I think it would be better on my lungs also.

I use nic salts in my diy at 8mg for me and 12mg for Meg, my cousin. We both use dtl sub ohm attys. I use to reduce th and it works. Salts nic strength is similar to freebase, you are simply able to use stronger salts because they are so much smoother. There is no mystery or reason to not use them for dtl or sub ohm vaping. Just use them in the same mg as you would freebase. Their main purpose originally was to smooth out high nic vaping.

They are completely smooth. If you can vape 24mg regular juice you can handle the salts.
I can't which is the problem. I'm using 4mg now. At one time 8 years ago I could vape 36mg which used to be available. So it's a shot in the dark for me. I just want to be able to take a puff every 30min or so and still have my nic craving taken care of.

Can you not use 24mg because of th or nic strength using mtl? If it is because of strength then buy the 25 mg salts and a complimentary flavor in 0mg to dilute until you find a comfortable strength. If it is because of th you should have no problem with the 25mg salts.

If it's harshness that's the problem, then get nic salts, and if you can't find the "right" strength for you, use some dilution until you see how you do with nic salts, and if it's a good match, you can look into DIY for yourself, period. I think it is likely that your system may have an easier time with nic salts. Mine did. My throat and whole respiratory system was pretty torn up when I got here. I wanted 0 throat hit, LOL.

But, I imagine you will find a way to make them work for you, and I would be cautiously optimistic. They really are much, much smoother

I wonder how strong the 25mg would be with a Kabuki or Nauty Mini. I don't want to try something that is going to make me choke.

I'm using 30mg now from Naked and I'm using a Kabuki with a 1.8 ohm coil. It's called Lava Flow. And it's not bad.

The nicotine kind of overpowers the flavor in this juice but as a flavor chaser that's why I've never been a big fan of naked juices to start with.

I do find that I'm vaping a lot less
