The truth isā€¦ the stuff might be total snake oil and if it is you can be sure I will be the first person calling them out on it lolā€¦

OKā€¦Just tested it. It was 500MG so I cut it with VG and Distilled Water to get it at 62MG. I picked this MG level because itā€™s about what most of the commercial vendors are putting in the vape liquid. I warmed it up so it mixed a little better. This was the brand I tried:

This stuff is suspended in VG and it didnā€™t separate at all. It smells like itā€™s source plant and taste like it tooā€¦ Holy Guacamole. (Not unpleasant at all if you ever liked that sort of thing lol) I also put 4% Yellow Peach, 4.5% Strawberry Ripe and 1% Cranberry in there. Cant really taste the flavorsā€¦ just the stuff.

I guess Iā€™m wondering while Iā€™m tasting thisā€¦hmmmā€¦ what would taste good with it? I think iā€™m gonna try a little Dulce, maybe? I will take any suggestions for flavor pairings?

CAP chocolate fudge brownie seems like a no-brainer flavor pairing. :grin:
Maybe something herbal or floral would work well.

Agreed on Brownies. No question. Just found out there are many google pages with hemp recipes. Not sure I should vape this stuff in a traffic jam though. It smells like ā€¦ yeah it does.

Me: "No officer, itā€™s not what you think it isā€¦ "

Cop: ā€œGet out of the car maā€™amā€¦ā€ā€¦

OK, so it seems these nic salts are gaining some popularity. I saw another vendor now selling it, maybe nicotine river? Surprised it hasnā€™t been the rage around here since it sounds like it would almost eliminate the nic throat hit and peppery taste for us low nic mixers. So since itā€™s not been a big thing around here, well, that gives me pause, maybe this stuff isnā€™t safe?

Just have a question or two maybe one of you guys/gals can answer, before I test the waters myself. Nude Nicotine does have free nic salt samples now so I might try that first.

Ok, soā€¦ currently I use 100mg nicotine and, for example, in a 30ml ejuice mix, I would use about 17 drops for a 1.5mg nic strength juice. Would it be the same for these salts? I previously assumed it was sold as a base, like you would use 30ml of it (minus however much flavoring you add) in a 30ml mix. Like you would not need to add any vg or pg. I didnā€™t like this because it was much more expensive than if I buy my own vg. I guess what Iā€™m asking is, is this now a concentrate that these salts are in?

Hello ,I am new to DIY but not to vaping So I was surprised on the first Nicotine I ordered was 100 mg in PG not going to name where as its well known company and I believe its my sensitivity, I only vape 2 mg I have been vaping since 2009 and I could not vape the first nicotine was very harsh I am thinking I am sensitive to it in some way, BUT I just got the free sample of the Nude Nic salts smooth at 72mg in PG and it is heavenly no taste and I am mixing now with great results and just wanted to share that for anyone else that maybe looking for a similar experience that may be sensitive to nicotine taste :slight_smile:

I would like to see if any of you have gave the salts a whirl yet? I have been mixing for roughly a few years and knew that NN came out with the salts, just never got interested, now my interest has gotten the best of me.

I have a 120ML bottle of 100mg nicotine salt on the way (hopefully will arrive Friday or Saturday). Iā€™ll post back on this thread to report my thoughts on it. Hoping itā€™s all that I have read about it. Havenā€™t been able to get over that first morning stinky and Iā€™m hoping this nicotine salt might help with that.

Got the nic salt in from LNW and mixed an unflavored batch @ 10mg and another at 20mg. Absolutely no flavor or throat hit from the 10mg test batch and just a little bit of a throat hit and a very slight off chemical taste with the 20mg batch that would not be noticeable with flavoring. I definitely could tell that I was getting more of a nicotine rush with the higher mg batches. Did a 10mg unflavored test batch of regular nicotine that I have from LNW and you can absolutely tell the difference between the nicotine salt ones and the regular nicotine.

Going to order some samples from nude nic and a bottle of nic salt from nic river when I place my next flavoring order to compare some of the other vendorsā€™ offerings. Think Iā€™m sold on these nic salts. They may not be for everyone, but they seem to work well for me and I wonā€™t be purchasing conventional nicotine again. You can order 15ml 70mg or 100mg samples of the nic salts from nude nicotine for $2.75 each here if you want to check the stuff out with out.

The last reply to this topic was a long time ago.
I wanted to revive this topic and say (again) I have done some experiments with Nicotine salts which has a different PH than regular nicotine. I found the Salt juices change color little or none after a long steep, and are not quite as flavorful as the same recipe using regular nicotine.
I was told early on it was the nicotine causing the e-liquid to steep, but iā€™m now thinking itā€™s more likely PH or Oxygen causing the reaction and curing effect in my liquid.

I am also really curious about the effect of PH on coil longevity, although I donā€™t have PH test equipment yet, I am pretty sure it would be possible to create neutral PH e-liquid.

Ah ha lol I am interested in your results and some of us agreed PH may be a factor. There were however several well respected mixers on that thread who mixed zero mg and felt their mixes were in fact ā€œsteepingā€ so i politely agreed to disagree :wink:

The Salts do steep, seemingly the same time period as the regular nicotine e-juice, but there is little or no discoloration of the salt e-liquid. And just by taste i found I needed to add about 2% flavor to the salt e-liquid to achieve the same flavor level as the regular nicotine e-liquid. My testing is only at 3.8 month (114 days) steeped salt e-liquid mixed at 16% TF, then boosted to 18% TF both 9mg.

I realize this is an old thread, but nic salts really worked for me (regarding the morning cig I couldnā€™t seem to skip). It took two days of ā€œgrin and bear itā€ but I never looked back after that.

Wasnā€™t sure which ā€œSaltsā€ thread to post this to, so here goes. Have a friend who buys juice from me regularly, and only vapes MTL at about 16-18mg. He thinks he might want to up the NIC even further, but my experience is, even with the cleanest / clearest (thanks Nude NIC) NIC, once you start pushing above 18mg, you can get some flavor overrun by the NIC. I briefly tried out a few different samples of some Nude NIC Smooth Salts, and for whatever reason, gave me a tickling cough (donā€™t know what to call it), and this happened across numerous vendors (types) of Salts, numerous strengths (including my 3mg DTL vape sauce), AND (yes thereā€™s more) including a few testers of store bought salt juice.

It became obvious to me, that for me, Salts were a non-starter. Iā€™m considering seeing if my 18mg freebase, MTL vaping friend over to Salts to see if he likes the faster uptake. Anyone hazzard to guess what mg would be a good starting out point.

If Salts hadnā€™t worked out so poorly for me, Iā€™d have more time with them, and a better mg to mg comparison. Iā€™m back to only using NN NIC, so probably pick up another bottle of their Smooth Salts.

Any Salt heads out there ??

I would suggest making him 10ml samples with 18mg and 24mg salts both to see how he likes them.

I prefer liquid nicotine wholesalers for nic saltā€¦ cheaper and faster, with the same quality.
I have had no issues running the lnw ns from 3mg up to 55mg for my new to vaping friendsā€¦ :slight_smile:
