Nic Salts

Nicotine salts (nic salts) are a smoother, faster-acting form of nicotine designed for a more satisfying vape, especially at higher strengths. Ideal for mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices and low-wattage pod kits, nic salts deliver a clean throat hit without the harshness often found in standard freebase nicotine.

At TopVapes, we stock a wide range of premium nic salt e-liquids in popular flavours and strengths to suit every preference. Whether you’re switching from smoking or after a discreet, satisfying vape, our nic salts offer a reliable hit and great flavour with every puff.

Nic Salts

What Are Nic Salts?

Nicotine salts (commonly known as nic salts) are a type of e-liquid that use a modified form of nicotine for a smoother and faster hit. They’re absorbed into the bloodstream more efficiently than traditional freebase nicotine, making them ideal for users seeking quick and lasting nicotine satisfaction.

Nic salts are especially well-suited to:

  • Mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices and pod kits

  • Vapers who prefer higher nicotine strengths (typically 10mg or 20mg)

  • Those transitioning from smoking

  • Discreet, low-vapour vaping

Simply fill your compatible pod or tank with a nic salt e-liquid and enjoy a smoother throat hit with fast-acting nicotine.

Why Choose Nic Salts?

  • Smooth Throat Hit
    Even at higher strengths, nic salts deliver a gentle, irritation-free vape.
  • Faster Nicotine Absorption
    Satisfies cravings quicker, ideal for heavy smokers or those cutting down.
  • Great for MTL Devices
    Perfectly matched to low-wattage kits and pod systems.
  • Discreet Vapour Production

Nic salts are ideal for:

  • Users who want a quick and efficient nicotine hit

  • Vapers who prefer compact, discreet kits

  • Anyone using refillable pod kits or lower-power devices

They’re not recommended for sub-ohm or high-wattage devices, as they are designed for smoother performance at lower temperatures.

Best Flavours for Nic Salts

Nic salt e-liquids are available in a wide range of flavours, including:

  • Tobacco – great for new switchers

  • Menthol & Ice – crisp and refreshing

  • Fruits – bold and juicy options like berry, mango and apple

  • Desserts – smooth custards and rich pastries

Because nic salts deliver flavour gently, they pair especially well with subtle and layered blends.

When to Replace Your Nic Salt E-Liquid

Replace your nic salt e-liquid if:

  • Flavour tastes dull or burnt

  • You notice reduced vapour or dry hits

  • The liquid has darkened noticeably over time

Always store e-liquids in a cool, dark place and keep bottles sealed to maintain freshness.
