When it comes to pod vape systems, Nic Salts and Bar Salts are popular choices for those looking for quality flavour, and a wide range of flavours to choose from.
Whilst Nic Salts have been popular or some time, Bar Salts are relatively new to the scene, but are rapidly growing in choice and popularity.
What Are Nic Salts?
Nic Salts (nicotine salts) are known by users as a type of e-liquid, which is true. However, nicotine salts are actually a type of nicotine used in the e-liquid itself. Nic Salts are formed by combining nicotine from the tobacco leaf, with benzoic acid; providing a smoother, yet stronger vape experience compared to traditional 50/50 e-liquids.
Nic salts provides high nicotine for a satisfying hit, with the added benefit of using less e-liquid over the long-term. Unlike freebase nicotine, Nic Salts provide a smooth throat hit and exceptional long lasting flavour without the need for multiple hits.
The faster absorption of nicotine salts results in a stronger, more distinct hit, making them a fitting choice for those quitting smoking cigarettes.
What is The Difference Between Nic Salts & Bar Salts?
Disposable vapes actually contain Nic Salt based liquids; which is what gives disposables a strong and immediate hit. These characteristics are what has seen the rise in popularity for disposable vapes.
Bar Salts simply put, are the e-liquids from disposables, but in 10ml bottles intended for pod and pen vapes. Due to the popular demand for disposable vapes, leading e-liquid brands are now getting involved in the market buy producing Bar Salts to emulate the vaping experience of disposables vapes.
The 10ml bar salts also allow disposable brands to curb the TPD requirements, which sees disposables containing nicotine limited to certain liquid puff counts and certain amounts of e-liquid.
With the rapid rise of disposable vapes, Bar Salts are becoming popular for those who want to shift from disposable vapes to an upgraded pen or pod system; offering familiar flavours and the same throat hit to that of disposables.
Which Are Better, Nic Salts or Bar Salts?
If you’re trying to decide which is better for you, it is a case of trial and error, due to Nic Salts and Bar Salts being the same base product with differing flavour options.
When considering your choice of flavours, Nic Salts brands hold a huge range of flavour profiles and categories, from fruity, fresh tones, to traditional flavours and even dessert based flavour profiles seen in the mod market.
However, with the rise of Bar Salts, there is definitely more than enough flavours to choose from, if you would prefer to stick to your favourite Disposable Vape flavours.
