Vape Juice: Everything You Need to Know

Vape juice, or e-liquid, is the essential ingredient in vaping, providing flavor, vapor, and nicotine (if desired). Different types of vape juice are available, each designed for specific devices and preferences. Here’s a closer look at the main components of vape juice, including nicotine types, VG/PG ratios, and what sets salt nicotine apart from freebase.

Freebase Nicotine

Freebase nicotine is the traditional form of nicotine used in most e-liquids and is pure, undiluted nicotine. It provides a stronger throat hit, which some users find satisfying, especially at higher strengths.

Best For: High-power devices (e.g., mods, sub-ohm tanks) that produce larger vapor clouds. Common in lower nicotine concentrations (e.g., 3mg, 6mg, or 12mg).

  • Intense Throat Hit: Freebase nicotine is known for a noticeable throat hit, especially at higher wattages.
  • Ideal for Cloud Production: Freebase is more suitable for high-wattage devices that generate larger clouds and intense flavor.

Salt Nicotine (Nic Salts)

Salt nicotine, or nic salts, is a modified form of nicotine where benzoic acid is added to the nicotine, allowing for a smoother experience even at high concentrations. Despite its name, there’s no actual table salt (sodium chloride) in salt nicotine.

  • Smooth Throat Hit: Allows for a smoother inhale, even with high nicotine (e.g., 20mg, 30mg, 50mg).
  • Quick Absorption: Salt nicotine absorbs faster into the bloodstream, providing quicker satisfaction for users seeking high nicotine levels.

VG/PG Ratios in Vape Juice

Vape juice is made with a mix of Vegetable Glycerin (VG) and Propylene Glycol (PG). These components influence the balance of flavor, throat hit, and vapor production.

  • High VG: Smooth throat hit, larger vapor clouds, suitable for sub-ohm vaping.
  • High PG: Strong flavor, more intense throat hit, ideal for mouth-to-lung devices.

Nicotine Strengths

Choosing the right nicotine strength is essential for a satisfying vaping experience. Here’s a breakdown of common levels:

  • Low (3-6mg): Best for sub-ohm devices with high vapor production.
  • Moderate (6-12mg): Ideal for mouth-to-lung devices with a balanced hit.
  • High (20-50mg): Perfect for salt nic in pod systems, providing fast nicotine satisfaction.

Choosing the Right Vape Juice

Selecting the perfect vape juice depends on your device and preferences. For high-wattage sub-ohm tanks, use low-strength freebase nicotine with high VG. For pod systems, choose salt nicotine with balanced VG/PG ratios.
