What Are Slushie Salts? Should You Be Using Them?

Taking inspiration from ice cold slushie drinks, the Slushie range from Liqua Vape offers bold and tasty flavours that will remind you of being a child again! Always a firm favourite among new and experienced vapers alike, they are back with a brand-new range of Slushie Salts to give you a higher nicotine content without the harsh throat hit that you traditionally get. Vibrant and refreshing, we are going to take an in depth look at the Slushie Nic Salts and explain why you should definitely be swapping to them!

What are Nic Salts?

If you haven’t already heard, nicotine salts are taking the e-liquid market by storm and are quickly becoming the most popular e-liquid form to buy. Basically, using nicotine salts allows you to smoke a much higher nicotine content without the added harshness that usually comes – but why?

The nicotine that is usually in your e-liquid is called freebase nicotine and is the same that is found in cigarettes, which is why it produces the harsh throat hit (depending on the strength of e-liquid that you go for – the higher the nicotine level the harsher the throat hit). Nicotine salts are made by adding benzoic acid to the freebase nicotine and replicates the nicotine salts that occur naturally in the tobacco plant (hence the name!). This then creates a different PH level to freebase nicotine which results in a smoother vape.

Nicotine salts are perfect for those who are looking to give up smoking as it allows the vaper to inhale a higher nicotine content without coughing or hurting your throat. A 20mg nic salt can feel like 10mng of freebase nicotine e-liquid – you wouldn’t even know the difference!

Advantages of Nic Salts

Apart from the obvious, there are a lot of different benefits to switching to nicotine salts:

• A smoother vape – of course, the main reason to use nic salts is to get a higher nicotine content with a much smoother hit with no harsh throat hit.
• Better flavour – nicotine salts do not affect the flavour of your e-liquid as much as freebase nicotine, so you get a full bodied, intense, and long-lasting taste when you choose nic salts.
• Quicker nicotine fixes – Freebase nicotine takes longer for the ‘satisfaction’ feeling as it is absorbed into the body by building up. Nic salts allow the nicotine to enter the bloodstream at a similar speed to cigarettes, making it perfect for those looking to quit smoking.
• Can be used for both MTL and DTL vapers – Mouth to Lung (MTL) and Direct to Lung (DTL) vapers can use nicotine salts. MTL vapers can collect the vaper in their mouths easily as they don’t create a big cloud, and DTL vapers can inhale directly into their lungs just as easily.
• Stable form of nicotine – due to the added acid, nicotine salts are a much more stable form of nicotine than freebase, meaning they will last much longer in the bottle without changing flavour or colour.
• Beginner friendly – if you are a novice vaper, then nicotine salts are the perfect e-liquid to start off on. They replicate the sensation of smoking, and they are often paired with pre-filled starter kits, so you don’t have to worry about setting up a complicated device.
• Discreet – nicotine salts do not produce massive clouds, meaning they are perfect for those who want compact devices to vape discreetly.
• Cheaper – whilst the actual e-liquid is slightly more expensive, the fact that you get a better nicotine hit means that you will tend to vape less and technically, nicotine salts become a cheaper alternative to freebase nicotine e-liquids.
