Hey there!
So for the first time ever in my country a company started making salt nic. It's 20 mg of salt nic in a 10ml bottle. I decided to buy 5 and use them for mixing.
Usually I have about 1-2 mg of nicotine in my eliquid without finding it harsh.
So with salt nic i added like 3-4 mg because I've heard you get a much smoother throat hit from it
However it wasn't smooth at all. It was just like regular nicotine and it was harsh since I'm not used to 4.5 mg of nicotine
My assumption is that I've been sold normal nicotine branded as salt. How can I check that? Is there any way I can test the nicotine bottles I've been given? Am I in the wrong here?
Some love it some hate it, but I can definitely tell them apart (especially first vape of the day).
With salt nic it hits so much quicker and stronger (like a cigarette), but normal nic can take a few minutes to slowly relieve the craving.
I just started using 12mg salt nic in my subohm tank.
Rigth now I am wondering what the whole fuss is about?
i tried it out as flavourless and to me it is like switching from normal milk to soya milk.
Could be brand, but it's night v day for me. I couldn't drop the smokes until I bought salt nics. I couldn't handle much more than 8 with regular nic but have almost no harshness off 12 with the salts. Just my experience, not judgemental.
i do not know, I went from 12 to 6 to 3mg and now back to 12mg because i was chainvaping and dealing with vaper tongue all the time. I have no problem with nic lvs.
What is strange is that less then a year everybody was chasing the perfect throat hit...and now nobody wants it.
The beauty of vaping is that you can find what exactly suits you ..whatever works for you.
That's a really nice way to put it :D
I also don't quite understand the difference so far. It's just my first day tho so maybe my opinion will change.
After all, I do vape low nic so I bet the difference wont be as noticeable. I just want something that doesnt like, make me choke as much when I got higher than 3 mg. Salt nicotine sounded like an answer to my prayer but so far It is either not working or I just got sold regular nicotine branded as salt.
You aren’t supposed to use any salt nic in a sub ohm tank
Depends on potency and power used, really. Low mg nic salt at 75+ watts isn't really an issue.
Yep. Nic is nic, as far as that goes. Salts - especially the "smooth" formulations - can be big-time deceiving. Hitting 24mg freebase in a DL setup will hurt, so the OD potential is very low. Hitting 24mg salt nic is quite do-able in the same setup, and the OD potential is very high. People who usually use 3mg freebase and try 50mg salts in their usual setup because it's there and because they can are just asking for trouble.
Do you have a PH test kit?
Test the PH of your FB nicotine and the PH of your new salt base nicotine, they should vary greatly.
Freebase will be near 8.4 ph and salt will be about 6.0 PH, however salt PH may vary if it is HIT, or SMOOTH.
For the same reason you cannot do a titration test to check the potency of your salt based e-liquid.
