10mg Nic Salts

10mg is generally considered a middle ground. Nicotine salts range from nicotine free varieties up to 20mg strengths. However, whether 10mg is high or not does depend on the user. If you were a smoker who smoked between 5-15 cigarettes per day then 10mg will probably feel just satisfying enough without being overwhelming. For anyone who has never vaped or used nic salts, 10mg could feel like a lot and cause dizziness or nausea. If in doubt, start with a lower strength first, for example 5mg.

There’s lot of reasons people might choose 10mg nic salts. Here are some of the most common:

• Balanced nicotine strength that suits most vapers
• Satisfies cravings without being overpowering
• Smooth throat hit and comfortable to inhale
• Suitable for all-day use
• Works best in pod systems or mouth-to-lung devices
• The ideal strength for stopping smoking
• A good step down from 20 mg when cutting back nicotine

There’s no right or wrong when it comes to nic salts. 10mg works for some vapers while others prefer a stronger 20mg option. To help you decide which one might be best for you, here’s a handy side by side comparison:

10mg nic salts are great for vapers who like a balanced everyday nicotine strength that’s not too potent but has just enough of a kick to curb cravings quickly. 

• Ex-smokers - Ideal for anyone who used to smoke half a pack to a full pack of cigarettes a day and want a satisfying but steady nicotine hit 
• Moderate vapers - Widely considered a medium-strength option that works well for regular, all-day vaping
  Craving control - Strong enough to manage cravings with less likelihood of any sick or dizzy feelings, compared to 20mg
• Pod and MTL device users - Designed for pod systems or mouth-to-lung vape kits, delivering a smooth, cigarette-like inhale with good flavour
• Reducing strengths - 10mg nic salts are often chosen by people reducing from 20mg 

Although in theory, 10mg nic salt and 10mg freebase nicotine are the same nicotine concentration, they aren't identical in how they feel or are absorbed by the body. Nicotine salts are made by combining pure nicotine with certain acids. This creates an e-liquid that closely resembles the natural nicotine found in tobacco leaves but makes nic salts smoother on the throat and more quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. Freebase nicotine, the traditional form of nicotine can therefore feel harsher at higher strengths without the additional acids. Essentially, even though both contain the same amount of nicotine, nic salts typically provide a faster, more satisfying hit with less throat irritation, and appeals to vapers who want a gentler yet effective nicotine experience.
