Difference between Freebase e-liquid and Saltnic e-liquid

Venturing more into the vaping world, which is considered relatively new and still prone to development, you will come across new inventions and ways to make the best of it and evade the previously made mistakes. Such new developments appear with time such as the nicotine salt-based e-liquid that numerous consumers are flocking to even the cigarette-smoking ones. This brand-new implementation offers the same buzz or kicks for smokers at a lower budget. In addition, the users will be able to enjoy higher nicotine level products without struggling with the effects of a rough throat hit that is usually associated with the other products.

This feeling has always been a huge turn-off for smokers who are migrating to the vaping world and prefer a cigarette to a lower buzz and a rough throat hit. Let alone, the hassle that vaping brings especially for beginners who are still going at a slow pace while the technology is constantly evolving.

To understand the Saltanic e-liquid it’s essential to get a firm grasp of the more common product also known as “Freebase E-liquid”. In simpler words, the freebase nicotine is the one that we are familiar with and has been used by tobacco companies since the 60s. It’s nicotine in its simplest forms when compared to other nicotine byproducts. This is the same method used when making as the one used by Phillip Morris in the 1960s. This nicotine is much more potent and when heated has a high absorption rate by the different body organs (lungs, brain, etc.…). This method has gained traction and popularity since it offered the customers a higher hit and a stronger buzz than the previously available nicotine while using the same dose by making the nicotine molecule more bioavailable to the body so the effect out of the same dose can be maximized.

But this has changed with the appearance of the nicotine salts that had consumers flocking to it even though the freebase way offers more potency. To go over this topic without getting lost in the chemical technical explanation, it is safe to say that nicotine salt offers more stability and less volatility when it comes to chemical breakdown in our bodies. The difference between the two forms becomes more apparent in the overall vaping experience. With lower pH levels offered by the nicotine salt infused into the liquid, it offers a smoother taste and less nicotine blowback even on the body at a molecular level even when using high nicotine level saltnic E-liquids. The product also is hassle-free since it comes in disposable cartridges that bypass the usual mess happening when refilling the liquid. Besides, this new approach’s bioavailability translates into a lower budget as you will eventually consume less. In addition to the fact that when the nicotine is at its purest form (salt) it oxidizes way slower and becomes more stable with a longer shelf life.

But it is also important to state that since the main ingredient remains to be nicotine it happens to be highly addictive when not used with moderation and without any precautions.
