Vapsolo E-Liquid Guide – Freebase vs Nicotine Salts

E-Liquids for Vapsolo e-cigarettes (also known as vape juice, eJuices, nicotine liquids) typically consist of these key ingredients: vegetable glycerin (VG), propylene glycol (PG), flavoring, and nicotine.

The type of nicotine in Vapsolo e-liquids plays a crucial role in determining the ideal vaping device. The choice of device also impacts how effectively the nicotine is delivered.

What is Vapsolo Freebase E-Liquid?

Most freebase nicotine in Vapsolo e-liquids is extracted directly from the tobacco plant, obtaining pure nicotine while excluding impurities or by-products. This free-form nicotine results in unbalanced alkalinity, causing a stronger throat hit as nicotine concentrations increase. At higher levels of freebase nicotine, for example, 3mg may offer a smooth yet tolerable throat hit, but it becomes harsher at 6mg and even more so at 12mg. Vapsolo e-liquid manufacturers generally stay within the range of 0mg to 6mg, rarely going to 12mg or 18mg due to the extreme harshness of freebase e-juice and the smaller number of vapers using such high concentrations. E-Liquid with 0mg contains pure VG/PG and flavoring without any nicotine.

What is Vapsolo Nicotine Salts?

Vapsolo Nicotine Salts, or Nic Salts, are a modified version of freebase nicotine. Benzoic acid is added to balance the alkalinity levels of freebase nicotine. This typically leads to a significant reduction in harshness, allowing for a smoother experience even at higher nicotine concentrations. Vapsolo Nicotine Salts tend to start at 20mg and can reach as high as 59mg. When vaped on an appropriate lower power Vapsolo device such as a pod system, the reduced discomfort in throat hits is due to the composition of nic salts and benzoic acid.

Now that you understand what each type of nicotine is and its characteristics and qualities, let’s find a suitable device for each.

What is Vapsolo Sub-Ohm Salts, or Sub-Ohm Nicotine Salts?

Nicotine Salts are typically known for use with lower power, smaller Vapsolo devices, but there are exceptions. Some e-liquid manufacturers create a formulation of nicotine salts for sub-ohm use, referring to these e-liquids as “Vapsolo Sub-Ohm Salts”. You can be assured that using Vapsolo Box Mod Kits or higher power devices with these “Sub-Ohm Nicotine Salts” will be okay as they are typically denoted in 3mg and 6mg in nicotine strength. The reason for using Nicotine Salts in this form is to reduce the harsh throat hit of regular free-based formulations, creating a different and usually smoother throat hit than a typical 3mg or 6mg.

Vapsolo Free-Base E-Liquid and Sub-Ohm Device

Vapsolo Freebase E-Liquids are ideal for sub-ohm devices, or Vapsolo box mods paired with bigger atomizers such as tanks and RDAs. Since freebase nicotine has a lower degree of nicotine concentration, they are best used with Sub-Ohm Devices. The larger coil, higher power, and lower resistances of sub-ohm devices and tanks allow freebase nicotine to be vaporized within the juice, delivering a small dose within a large cloud of vapor. These are best for those who prefer high-performance vaping and substantial cloud output. Although plenty of vapor is created, the nicotine concentration remains fairly low. Freebase e-juice can be loaded into a Vapsolo pod system for more discretion, but many Vapsolo pod systems are not optimized for freebase e-juice, as the lower strength of freebase nicotine cannot be fully vaporized to the same capacity as sub-ohm devices.

Vapsolo Nicotine Salts and Pod System

Vapsolo Nicotine salts are great for pod systems. They utilize the lower power output, smaller coil, and higher resistance to create discreet clouds of vapor that deliver nicotine salt with much better results. The inclusion of benzoic acid aids in the smoother delivery of nicotine salts, balancing the alkalinity for less of a throat feel. High nicotine strength Nic Salts should never be loaded into a sub-ohm device, as the stronger vapor output will deliver more nicotine to be absorbed by the body, leading to a great degree of discomfort.

Some pod systems such as Pod Mods available are geared for both nicotine salts and freebase eJuice, depending on the type of coil or pod installed. One simple rule of thumb to follow is nicotine salts belong with higher resistances clocking in at or over 1.0ohm. This allows for a safe and efficient dosing of higher nicotine, allowing nicotine salts to work to their full potential. Anything below 1.0ohm is considered sub-ohm, hence the name, and should be used with freebase nicotine eJuice. This ensures safer vaporization and delivery of lower nicotine concentrations within a larger vapor output.
