Here\u2019s the low-down. <\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just what are nicotine salts? Is it something you sprinkle on your vape gear to give it more flavour and a higher nicotine hit? No and yes. Nicotine salts \u2014 also known as nic salts \u2014 are fast becoming all the rage among vapers, because they deliver way more nicotine in a vaping puff and more closely resemble the experience smokers who switch to vaping are after. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest drivers of the nicotine salt trend has been the wildly popular <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/juul-m202\">Juul<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> vape pen, the e-liquid &#8220;pod&#8221; refills of which typically have more nicotine in them \u2014 and are available in a variety of flavours \u2014 than other e-cigarettes and vape gear. Juul devices have recently only been available in the United States and Israel, but the California-based company is currently in the midst of an <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/uk.businessinsider.com\/juul-e-cig-vape-startup-growing-london-international-2018-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">international expansion programme<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and has just now come to the United Kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For anyone considering swapping from smoking to vaping, or just taking up vaping having never smoked, it&#8217;s important to know that the e-liquid in most e-cigarettes comes in varying strengths, as well as none, so you can choose which is best for you. Some people, after all, don&#8217;t want nicotine in their e-liquid because they simply enjoy the many amazing flavours available \u2014 everything from strawberry, and mango, to coconut, menthol and a whole lot more. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>So What Are Nicotine Salts?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1615 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/image-factory\/7f75373f523c0e648901022fcc57fd8cf70b1b0e~612x700@2x\/images\/products\/HqkPo4EG80xauhiQ2m7woS4LBhIIylYX6A7qhthC.jpg\" alt=\"Salt shaker icon line isolated on clean background.

Nicotine salt liquids are smoother to vape at higher strengths than regular e-liquids, and as the salts are absorbed more quickly into the body than freebase nicotine, you&#8217;ll find that vaping nic salts feels very similar to smoking a traditional cigarette, providing a quick and satisfying kick of nicotine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, the problem with cigarettes isn&#8217;t so much the nicotine: the main issue is everything else packed in there, which leads to a <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/common-health-questions\/lifestyle\/what-are-the-health-risks-of-smoking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">host of health problems<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that can turn deadly. The idea of nicotine salts in vaping gear is to provide a far healthier alternative \u2014 you get the nicotine hit you desire, but none of the many <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancerresearchuk.org\/about-cancer\/causes-of-cancer\/smoking-and-cancer\/whats-in-a-cigarette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">thousands of harmful substances<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> given off from burning tobacco.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nicotine salts are great if you want to finally kick your smoking habit or if you&#8217;ve tried vaping before, but it didn&#8217;t work out because you weren&#8217;t satisfied with the nicotine level you were getting. Higher strengths of nicotine are available in more sophisticated vaping gear, but they can often be a bit too high-tech for the vaping novice \u2014 while a nicotine-salt Juul, for example, is simple and easy to use. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Nicotine Salts Pros and Cons<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The advantages of nicotine salts is that they deliver higher rates of satisfaction to vapers \u2014 giving smokers that essential nicotine buzz they desire. Plus, it provides a smoother nicotine hit, instead of what sometimes can be harsh on the throat when using other e-liquids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for any disadvantages with using nicotine salts, some people may not be used to high strengths of nicotine, so they may initially feel woozy while using them. There are also fewer options when looking for this kind of product \u2014 unless you want to invest in the more high-tech gear that uses higher wattages to deliver more nicotine. That&#8217;s not always an option, especially for those starting out. But, let&#8217;s face it, these cons are miniscule, if not non-existent, if you&#8217;re already a medium or heavy smoker and want to vape to improve your health. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may find this is one kind of vape gear that is totally the nicotine salt of the earth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Get your vape gear now at the Electric Tobacconist online shop.
