Differences between Salicylate, Benzoate and Malate Nicotine
submitted over 6 years ago by throwaway9732121

Anybody here know what the differences are?

So far I have learned, that benzoate keeps the coils very clean, while the other two types cause a lot of gunk. However the other two are less harsh / have less throat hit?

From this old research I found somewhere, looks like physical differences like solid vs oil and different vaporization temps.

No idea about other differences. I wonder if some are more readily absorbed to the blood than others?

The support guy from the manufacturer told me that benzoate is harsh and he prefers salicylate. He said it doesn't wreak the coils. I think im gonna go with that.

So he's saying jull pods are harsh? Never tried jull pods but I really doubt that.

I don't have a lot of experience with pods, but I do have a juul, and it does have a throat hit. Less so, I would say, than a sub ohm, probably because of the higher concentration of nicotine and maybe because of the type of nic?

I've been using Benzoate for a while and can confirm my coils stay clean for a very long time! My supplier has recently dropped the contract with the company that supplies the Benzoate (probably because the nicotine provided was very dark in colour and also killed off flavour quite a lot) and they're switching to Salicylate instead which apparently provides a much smoother vape and clearer in colour. I'll have to order a bottle and find out but didn't want to order it before I'm out of the Benzoate otherwise it'll never get used!

Well my coils stay clean with base too unless I use a dirty flavor. shrug

Yeah but freebase should leave any residue when it reaches bp
