Update on nic salts and freebase
submitted about 7 years ago by CircoModo1602

So a few days ago I asked about mixing freebase nic and nic salts, tried it out myself today and I can gladly say that it works perfectly. It’s smoother than freebase and has the effects of salts with it. I recommend this to anyone that is thinking about trying this

I've been doing the same thing for about 6 months.

Even 24mg freebase couldn't get me past the first smoke in the morning, took 30-40min before I felt human. Nic salts were great, but left craving after 2hrs, where I could go 4hrs on freebase. (note: 1 hr max on smokes)

Since I've been doing equal mix of concentration freebase/salt, I get the benefits of both. It's smoother, hits quicker, works in the morning / after meals, lasts me ~4hrs, and I don't smoke anymore.

Congrats on not smoking anymore. If it’s helped you drop the smokes, do what works for you.

I saw that in passing and took a try on it myself. Mixed some 6mg free and 12mg salts, and works great in my tank! Smooth and strong. Blew my mind.

Sweet, I'm going to try this for getting through some of my old nic :) thanks for the update!

So you are using salts to smooth your FB nic basically? What kind of tank/mod are you using?

I’m using a Tauren mech tube and the iJoy combo RDA for now, running at 0.12 ohms

I was trying to make the switch from a Smok tank to an aspire Breeze and the throat hit is just not there. I am wondering if mixing the nicotine might get me the throat hit I'm after.

If you’re looking for a throat hit then mix in a good amount of freebase as that’s what’s harsher on the throat, also make sure the PG is higher than 40% as that’s when I’ve noticed a bigger throat hit

Would the 6 mg of salt kick harder and better than 6 mg freebase in a mix?

It would be smoother but the effects are more direct, this is why I mixed it with freebase as it keeps both effects while being smoother

I have a couple of bottles arriving tomorrow to try this! Gonna be ~3/20mg blend, stoked to try it

In my trials adding salts (Benzoate based) makes the mix less tasty and nuanced even at low concentrations. The salt has a slight taste itself as well as muting properties which personally I didn't like.

I never noticed any flavour difference in adding salts to liquids, seems just as good to me

I have been experimenting with this for about the last year and I think the key to it will be to mix 2 liquids of the same recipe with salts and FB nic. Then blend the 2 bottles to achieve neutral PH. But I haven't bought a PH test kit yet.
