Nicotine salts (nic salts) are a type of e-liquid formulated to deliver nicotine more smoothly and efficiently than traditional freebase e-liquids. They are designed to provide faster satisfaction with less throat irritation, especially at higher strengths.

If you’re looking for a smoother, more cigarette-like vaping experience with quick nicotine relief, nic salts are an excellent choice. They’re particularly popular with new vapers, former smokers, and anyone who finds standard e-liquids too harsh.

Compared to freebase e-liquids, nic salts allow for higher nicotine strengths without the sharp throat hit, making them ideal for low-wattage devices and mouth-to-lung vaping. This makes them a preferred option for users who want satisfaction without increasing vapour production.

Our premium Nic Salts collection features some of the UK’s most popular nicotine salt e-liquids, available in both 10mg and 20mg strengths. Flavour profiles range from fruity and icy blends to classic tobaccos and sweet dessert options.

Nic salts are best paired with pod systems and MTL devices, where their smooth delivery and fast absorption really shine. If you’re new to vaping and want a clear overview, our Beginner’s Vaping Guide explains why nic salts feel closer to smoking than regular e-liquids.
