NIC SALTS EXPLAINED
Want rich flavours, smooth throat hits and a satisfying vape? Say hello to nicotine salts. Designed for fast nicotine absorption and a velvety vape experience, nic salts from Riot are a perfectly balanced e-liquid that vapers can’t resist.
WHY CHOOSE NIC SALTS?
There’s a bunch of reasons that nicotine salt e-liquid has become a go-to, including:
FREEBASE VS NIC SALTS
If you’re at all perplexed by freebase vs nic salt vape juice, the key difference is in the way they are absorbed.
Freebase nicotine is absorbed more slowly into the bloodstream. It provides a stronger throat hit and works best at lower strengths in high-powered devices.
Nic salts are chemically modified, resulting in smoother inhalation even at higher nicotine levels. They feel more like smoking, with quicker satisfaction.

Nic Salts Explained
What are nic salts?
Nicotine salts, commonly referred to as nic salts, are a type of nicotine used in e-liquids. They are known for offering a smoother and more satisfying inhale than free base nicotine. Nic salt vape juice is created by combining nicotine with an acid, which makes the nicotine less harsh even at higher strengths. Nic salts can therefore deliver stronger doses of nicotine with less throat irritation. Nicotine salts are also more quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and so give a more instant hit, they’re often preferred by ex-smokers and those new to vaping.
What are the best vape kits for nic salts?
Nic salt vape juice works best with mouth-to-lung (MTL) pod systems. A low wattage and higher coil resistance are most suited to nicotine salts, allowing a tighter draw and efficient nicotine delivery. A vape kit like Riot’s Oxva Nexlim or Aspire’s Cyber GT does the job perfectly.
HOW DO YOU USE NIC SALTS?
Nic salts work best with mouth-to-lung (MTL) inhaling, where vapour is drawn into the mouth first before being inhaled into the lungs. This way, you can rely on the smooth flavour and effective nicotine satisfaction nicotine salt e-liquid is so well known for.
WHY ARE NIC SALTS POPULAR?
Nic salts are popular with vapers because they deliver nicotine quickly and provide that all-important smooth vaping experience. They’re an ideal alternative to smoking, mimicking the sensation and nicotine delivery without the negative side effects. They work well in compact pod devices, making them convenient and discreet.
ARE NIC SALTS GOOD FOR BEGINNERS?
Yes, nic salts are often recommended for beginners, especially anyone transitioning from smoking. Start with a balanced 50/50 nic salt, like our Riot X range for the perfect introduction to the nic salt life. They’re also great for first timers thanks to their compatibility with simple pod style devices that don’t require a tricky set up or lots of maintenance.
CAN NIC SALTS HELP YOU STOP SMOKING?
Nic salts offer a similar nicotine experience in a less harmful format and can therefore support smokers who want to quit. You’ll be able to manage cravings effectively due to fast absorption and can modify your strength level until you find one that fits.
