Freebase vs. Salt Nic: What’s the Difference & What Should You Use?

Understanding Nicotine Strengths

Choosing the right nicotine strength is crucial for your vaping experience. Here’s a breakdown of different strengths and their best uses.

Regular (Freebase) Nicotine

3mg and 6mg are considered Regular or Freebase Nicotine. These strengths are best suited for:

  • Larger devices that provide a lot of power.
  • Those who prefer a much lighter nicotine hit in a smaller device.
  • Users looking for a mild nicotine experience without lightheadedness.

 

Salt Nicotine

10mg, 12mg, and 20mg are considered Salt Nicotine. These strengths are best suited for:

  • Smaller devices such as the Uwell Caliburn G3, Vaporesso XROS 4, and the SMOK Nord 5.
  • Providing a smooth hit while delivering maximum nicotine.
  • Low-power environments to avoid excessive nicotine intake.
  • New vapers transitioning from smoking, especially with 20mg Salt Nicotine.
