Getting ready to purchase nicotine salt, need some clarification mainly on cost$$!
submitted about 8 years ago by illitirit

Greetings all I was hoping I could get some clarification about nicotine salts.

I have been DIY juice for almost 4 years now so I am no stranger to the process however I recently tried a JUUL and its pods and instantly got hooked. There is something about the way the nicotine salt juice hits that is so much more satisfying than conventional freebase nicotine IMHO of course.

I am strictly a MTL guy so I want to at least attempt / try to make juice similar to JUUL. However, I wont be using it with a juul, I will be using with a Billetbox DNA60 with exocet + KF5 MTL reducer.

Therefore I dont really need to care about the VG / PG ratio that much since I know the JUUL pods are picky about the viscosity of the liquid.

Now, I am all set to purchase nicotine salts from nude nicotine. Probably the "hit" version since I like throat hit.

My question is for the past few years, nicotine was extremely cheap to me since regularly I would mix up 16mg nic juice. I think a 250ML bottle from vaperstek lasted me almost 2 years.

However with nic salts, since I want that same JUUL feel, I will have to mix around 50MG nicotine. Considering nicotine salt is already kind of expensive, and nowI have to use more of it per mix, it doesnt seem so cost effective to me. Is anyone here that strictly DIY nic salts, is it expensive for you? How often do you find yourself purchasing new nicotine bottles?

Haven't tried salts, but maybe a search for "salts" or "nude nicotine" might be of your best interest.

FWIW, I don't think many people here use JUUL.

> ...I will have to mix around 50MG nicotine...

I haven't used a lot of nic salts but from the few mixes I've done I've found you need to roughly double what you would use with freebase.

For example, in my Kayfun Mini I'd usually vape 12mg and in that atty 20-24mg is about right for NN's Signature Salts.

I haven't used one but from what I've seen the Juul doesn't put out a whole lot of vapour - it looks similar to the amount from older clearos where 24mg would be about right - so 50mg in salts.

I could care less about clouds, all I care about is flavor and the nicotine bite / feeling that the JUUL has created so well. I prefer almost zero airflow, to be honest even the JUUL is too open for me. Im going to buy a bottle of nude nicotine "hit" salts and experiment a bit with it.

You won’t get the same hit as a juul with nudes hit. Give it a shot and let us know what you think. I’ve been using my own nicsalt base with u/hashslingingslashur s mixes and it’s fantastic. With the KF5 with reducer try 30mg to start. Take it from there.

Speaking of which, hey hash when you gonna come with something minty for me? I need cool mint clone bad. I’ve got the levulinic ;) let’s play

since you say nude nicotine wont give me that JUUL hit, do you have any other recommendation for nic salt bases?

The only one i know of is nude. Unless of course your willing to impart imformation on your own nicsalt base!

That's my best so far. Juul Mint clone. I use 70% VG-Smooth salts and 30% PG-Hit for my nic base. Mix it at 60vg/40pg final ratio. The FA Flash is very important to recreate that special hit of the Juul, but it must steep a week.

I tried a juul for the first time today. Its not the nic salts its crack. Its all I can think about now

It's the specific balance of acids in the juul that makes it so addictive and effective in nic delivery. They've got a custom blend of salts. I use the juul from time to time and it's nice but I prefer the clouds / flavor of my other devices

Seriously if they did put crack in it i wouldnt be suprised. Its all I can think about as well. If it was cheaper, I would def not even bother trying to DIY. I can go through 2 pods per day, fuck that noise @ 20$ per 4

I use salts now, but not in high nic devices. I use them in place of regular freebase

I've been doing a 50/50 between Nude Signature salt and CXTC for a few months now, works well IMO. Quick ramp up from salts but extended release from standard.

I followed /u/ediblemalfunction 's advice and used it as normal in my juice. I mixed it at 3mg and it's a lot better. In a normal MTL device (kayfun etc) I wouldn't mix it at 50mg.. if you mix at 6mg normally, mix at 6mg with the nic salts too (likewise if you vape a 10mg, just try a 10mg mix first) just my two cents. It's not too much more expensive that way in all honesty. If time is an issue don't order from NN, it may take a month or two to get to you. I would order someone else Nic salts and order a sampler from NN and see if you notice a difference before waiting all that time on NN.

Just to let you know, when ordering from nude nicotine, they make it when you order.... But sometimes it seems they forget, and a week later when I remind them, then the tracking number they give you the next day after order will start working. I know liquid nicotine wholesalers, and nic river both has salts, but not in multiple versions.

Nicotine River has good nicotine salts, good prices, and fast delivery.

The shipping on their nic was 30$ for a 60 ml bottle. Is that normal? Who else carries Nic salts alts besides NN?

Orders over 50 are free shipping
