What are Nicotine Salts (Nic Salts) – Vape Perfect | VapePerfect
There’s a lot of seriously slanted stuff in there. The first one I run into is this
“Old bulky devices provide a lot of wattage, or power, to vaporize
a lot of low nicotine juice. Because Nicotine salts are concentrated, you need to use a low power device.”
No. You need to use less concentrated juice. Truth rating 0%
“Because we specialize in nicotine salts, we only sell vapes that are safe for use with nicotine salts, and vapes that have been hand picked because of their quality. Be careful buying vapes and juice from other sources, but if you do, make sure they’re safe for use with nicotine salts.”
No. Be sure the concentration of nicotine is appropriate for the power of the device you are using. The assumption that protonated juices are all automatically always more concentrated is crap.
Also THE WRITER buys their stuff seemingly almost from other sources. Paragraph truth rating 0%
Then we get this:
“Nicotine salt is the natural form of nicotine found in tobacco leaf. In the early days of vaping, they used a different version called “freebase” nicotine. It was more easily extracted from tobacco through chemical processes. The result was a harsh nicotine that could only be vaped in moderation, resulting in the 3mg – 18mg juice you’ve probably seen before. Anything over 18mg was too harsh to be vaped, so most people found vaping underwhelming because it didn’t kick their cravings.”
No. Protonated nicotine is created FROM unprotonated nicotine. Also, the claim that anything over 18mg was too harsh to be vaped is crap. I’ve vaped 24mg. It IS too harsh to be vaped by some people though. I’d give the last paragraph a 25% truth rating. Maybe 35% as I’m unsure of exactly what is in tobacco itself. I understand it varies a LOT.
But wait, there’s more...
“With nicotine salts, you can comfortably vape higher levels of nicotine, from 24mg for light smokers all the way up to 50mg”
24mg for “light smokers”? No. Cut that in half perhaps. Up to 50mg is real though.
Truth rating 50%
Finally we get to the graph:
I find the “tested” vs “commercial”. Point to be interesting. PAX tested the light blue line as safe, then JUUL split off from it and marketed what appears to be a completely different product that was not tested. That line had to be modeled. It has an even sharper spike than cigarettes with a faster harder blood drop off. Here’s another graph. It looks a bit different.
JUUL uses nicotine benzoate. It’s patented. By JUUL. “Salts” though could be nicotine benzoate or any of hundreds of other acid/nicotine combinations. Nicotine Benzoate is very arguable the least offensive of the “salts”. All the others are even worse.
The company that made this advertisement DOES seem to sell JUUL, but also sells many many other devices. JUULs seem to hover between 20-50% higher in price than the other products. It is the ONLY one to which the top graph even applies though. For all the others who the heck knows? It’s all “salts”. They seem perfectly willing to claim it applies to everything though. Is there a number lower than zero percent?
This company is terrifying. They seem to be totally willing to lie and falsely fear monger at every turn. I am personally repulsed.
