Should I switch to nic salts

[Ian Michasiw]

Hello,
I have a 0.26 ohm coil on my smok E-priv mod. I am currently using 18mg freebase liquid at 65W. I'm quite happy with it but not quite as satisfying as a Belmont cigarette. Should I try nicotine salt liquid? I have a pretty high tolerance for nicotine.
Thanks!

I believe freebase nic as opposed to salt nic generally provides more 'throat hit'. I'm not familiar with the cigarette brand you speak of, so I'm not quite sure what is satisfying for you. A higher nic level may provide more 'throat hit', and a higher PG level almost probably certainly would.

If the 18mg is too harsh at those watts then yes salts are a good option.

|18mg is not too harsh for me I just want to go a lot higher and freebase liquids of that high strength are uncommon. Can you recommend nic salts in my sub ohm vape?

I diy and prefer Liquid Nicotine Wholesale salts. Nicotine River offers hit salts if you want to retain the th. I haven’t tried any commercial juices with salts.

I like 'madhatter grappleberry' in 25 ml. It's a 50/50 pg/vg

It seems the salt nic choices start at 24/25 and go up.

are you using a sub ohm/high wattage mod? if nic salts are appropriate for my mod I'll definitely switch to nic salts.

I use it in tiny devices and cut it with 0 nic stuff. I like 12 or less...

The bottle warns against sub-ohm use, but also says it causes cancer in California.

I wonder if you could thin the sauce you already use with a wee bit of distilled water. I've not tried it yet but non pg fans here swear by that method.

Could be worth a shot. I was often using snus at work because I couldn't handle high levels of freebase nicotine, especially in the morning. This lead to me occasionally smoking as well. After switching to high mg nic salts I haven't had to use snus or had any real desire to smoke even around smokers or at work.

You can use salts in anything you can use freebase in. There is actually very little difference between the two outside of th.

|Thanks everyone I'll give nic salts a try

I picked up a bottle of 25mg nic salts. Pretty potent stuff, I'm impressed.

just be careful not to over nic yourself is all
and they do make freebase in higher nics
madtown vapor I know he carries 24 and 36mg freebase

Sub ohm nic salts?

Dont know where I saw it but theres a graf phloating around the threads showing cigarettes compared to salts compared to freebase as far as nic in blood. Cigs spike highest and settle slowly, salts spike less and settle faster, freebase doesnt have much of a spike and keeps a more consistent line. I think what that means is salts will replicate cigs better than freebase, but because of the dip, you end up using salts more than freebase. Hope someone knows what graph Im talking about and can link it.

I don't know what graph you're referring to but I have heard several people say this exact same thing in some fb groups i'm in

It's been almost a month of vaping 25mg nic salts at 80W, pretty great! Stronger than any cigarette I've ever smoked.
