Nic Salts vs Freebase Nicotine: Which Is Right for You?

If you’re new to vaping, you’ve probably seen both “nic salt” and “freebase nicotine” e-liquids and wondered: what’s the difference?

What is Freebase Nicotine?

Freebase nicotine is the purest form of nicotine. It delivers a harsher throat hit at higher concentrations, which is why you typically see it at 3mg, 6mg, or 12mg strengths.

What are Nic Salts?

Nicotine salts have a smoother throat hit, allowing much higher nicotine concentrations (25mg–50mg) to be vaped comfortably. Perfect for pod systems.

Which Should You Choose?

Choose freebase for sub-ohm vaping and large clouds. Choose nic salts if you’re switching from cigarettes or prefer pod systems.
