What is salt nicotine?
Salt nicotine (nicotine salt) is a substance in the form closest to the original component of nicotine contained in the leaves of tobacco in its natural state. Salt does not mean "salt" but "base".
VAPE liquids that use salt nicotine have a smoking sensation that is closer to that of cigarettes than conventional nicotine liquids and are said to be mellow and satisfying. The nicotine used in traditional nicotine liquids is refined, so it took some time to get the satisfaction of nicotine. In order to enjoy the same smoking sensation as cigarettes, normal nicotine liquid requires long-term inhalation.
Differences between salt nicotine and conventional nicotine
Many people may find the conventional refined liquid containing nicotine unsatisfactory. We try to increase nicotine levels for greater satisfaction, but conventional nicotine levels above 24 mg can also cause throat damage.
However, the newly introduced salt nicotine is a "high-concentration nicotine" that does not burden the throat. Furthermore, I think it is a very pleasant surprise that the throat is smooth and the burden on the throat is small despite the extremely high nicotine concentration. In addition, even a small amount of salt nicotine is absorbed quickly and you can experience a strong smoking sensation, and even a small amount has a high concentration, so it can be said that the cost performance is high.
Is salt nicotine highly satisfying?
The characteristic of salt nicotine is that it has a higher concentration and faster absorption than conventional nicotine. Therefore, it can be said that liquids using salt nicotine can feel nicotine firmly and can obtain satisfaction closer to smoking.
It is no exaggeration to say that the feeling of sucking is completely different between refined normal nicotine and salt nicotine. Salt nicotine became popular from JUUL in the United States. JUUL is a disposable POD type VAPE and is a pioneer of POD type VAPE these days. If you want to try salt nicotine for the first time, it might be a good idea to start with the POD type.
Precautions for salt nicotine
Salt nicotine has a higher concentration and absorbs much faster than conventional nicotine, so care must be taken with the device and handling. Especially, smoke-type devices are not recommended. This is because there is a risk of acute nicotine addiction due to excessive intake of nicotine with a smoke-type device. A device that works well with salt nicotine is one that uses a coil of 1.0 ohm or higher and has less "spit back". Even with the same nicotine concentration, the higher the wattage, the stronger the feeling of smoking, so in the case of salt nicotine, it is recommended to use a coil of 1 ohm or more at the lowest. Especially, the coil of about 1.5ohm is very compatible with salt nicotine. Until a few years ago, about 1.5 ohms were the mainstream, but in recent years, low resistance and high power models have become popular, and even pen-type ones have become commonplace with sub ohms (less than 1.0 ohm).
In addition, the higher the nicotine concentration, the stronger the spicy and bitter taste when the liquid enters the mouth and spits back. If nicotine comes into contact with bare skin, it is absorbed through the skin, so care needs to be taken when handling high concentrations of salt nicotine. Be careful as it may suddenly make you uncomfortable. Especially if you are new to vaping or not familiar with vaping, we recommend you to consult with IHAVE VAPING staff before purchasing equipment. You might consider trying WIZA VAPE, which offers different options from 0 to 2% nicotine.
