What is the difference between nicotine salt and freebase e-liquid?
Nicotine salt e-liquid is treated so it feels smoother in the throat at higher nicotine strengths, which is why it is used in small, low-power pod devices and disposables. Freebase e-liquid is typically sold at lower strengths and is made for larger, higher-airflow kits.
- Nic salt: smoother at high strength, made for compact pods
- Freebase: lower strength, suits bigger airflow devices
- Match the liquid to the device before choosing a flavour
- We stock 10ml nic salt bottles in Goa, including Nasty Bar, Nasty Liq and Nasty Burst
Why the throat feel differs
The same nicotine strength feels harsher in freebase form than in salt form. That is the whole practical difference for most shoppers: salts let a small device deliver a satisfying hit without being rough, while freebase in a small device at the same strength would feel scratchy.
VG and PG in plain terms
- VG (vegetable glycerine) is thick and produces more vapour
- PG (propylene glycol) is thin, carries flavour and gives more throat feel
- Higher-PG liquids suit small pod coils; high-VG liquids suit larger sub-ohm kits
- Using a thick high-VG liquid in a tiny pod can starve the coil and cause a burnt taste
Choosing a flavour family
| Fruit | Berry, mango, grape and tropical blends — the most popular group |
|---|---|
| Mint and ice | Cooling menthol, or an iced version of a fruit flavour |
| Dessert | Custard, cream and bakery profiles; heavier on the palate |
| Tobacco | Dry, nutty profiles for people moving from cigarettes |
