What is nicotine salt ?

In nature, the nicotine contained in tobacco leaves comes in the form of salt. Unlike the nicotine found in most e-liquids, the salts have been reprocessed to give them a slightly acidic PH (5-6). This makes it possible to reproduce the "hit" of a conventional cigarette. What are its effects ?

What are its effects ?

It has been proven that the way in which nicotine is diffused in the consumer's body plays a major role in how it is felt and in the reduction of the nicotine dosage.

The absorption of tobacco smoke from the combustion of a conventional cigarette allows a very quick transfer of the nicotine to the bloodstream and thus to the brain receptors involved. In the case of the tobacco cigarette, the nicotine reaches the brain in about 10 seconds, whereas for its electronic cousin it takes more around 10 min. This difference is very often felt by novice vapers who lack information on this topic. The lack of nicotine is thus filled but slower.

In the case of nicotine salts, absorption is much faster. It is much closer to that observed by traditional cigarette smokers. The desired effect is therefore closer to the sensations felt when consuming a conventional cigarette. This is therefore reflected in a faster transfer of the nicotine into the bloodstream and a faster and more effective satiation of nicotine. Fluid consumption is also reduced.

Usage recommendations

The use of suitable equipment is highly recommended. The nicotine salt requires lower e-cigarette powers so that it can be perfectly extracted from the e-liquid. The "hit" is also stronger, it is imperative to use this type of e-liquid with e-cigarettes of low power, ie around 20-25W and with resistors a little higher, around 1,2Ω, 1,6Ω.

We also advise you to vape this kind of products by indirect inhalation in order to avoid a "hit" that could be too pronounced.
