Salt nicotine (or nic salt) is e-liquid that uses nicotine in its natural salt form, with a little acid added so it stays smooth even at high strengths. That is why it comes in 10 to 20 mg/mL without the harsh throat hit you would get from freebase at the same level. It is built for pods and tight MTL devices.

Who it suits

Salt nic is the go-to for people switching from cigarettes and for anyone using a pod or disposable. The higher strength and smooth draw satisfy a craving quickly, much like a cigarette does, which freebase struggles to do without turning harsh.

Strength

In Canada the cap is 20 mg/mL. As a rough guide, 20 mg/mL suits heavier or recent smokers, while 10 to 12 mg/mL suits lighter smokers or those cutting down. Pick the lowest that still does the job and step down over time.

Device

Use salt nic in pods and low-power MTL devices, not in big sub-ohm tanks. Salt juice is usually a balanced VG/PG (around 50/50) so it wicks well in small coils. Running 20 mg/mL salt through a sub-ohm device would be far too much nicotine per puff.

Salt or freebase

If you want a gentler hit and bigger clouds from a sub-ohm device, freebase at a lower strength is the other route. See freebase. For pods and a cigarette-like draw, salt is the one.
