About nic salts
Nic salts are nicotine salt e-liquids. They use a different form of nicotine to standard freebase juice, one that stays smooth at higher strengths, which is why a 20mg nic salt is comfortable to inhale where the same strength in an ordinary bottle would catch the back of your throat.
What is a nic salt?
Nicotine in its salt form, blended into a 10ml bottle at a 50/50 VG/PG ratio. It absorbs faster than freebase nicotine and stays smooth at high strength, which suits short, frequent puffs on a low-power pod kit rather than long draws on a big tank.
Every bottle in this range is 10ml at 50/50 VG/PG, the standard nic salt e-liquid format. That thinner mix runs cleanly through the small coils in a pod kit and keeps flavour sharp at low wattage, where a thick 70/30 shortfill would struggle.
Which nic salt strength?
20mg is the maximum nicotine strength permitted in a UK e-liquid, so it is the strongest bottle you will find here or anywhere else on the UK market.
5mgLight. Suits all-day vaping where you reach for the device often
10mgMedium. The middle option and the most common starting point in a pod kit
20mgStrong. The UK legal maximum, for the most nicotine per puff
Nic salt flavours
The range splits roughly three ways: fruit and ice blends such as watermelon, mango and blue razz, dessert and candy styles like strawberry ice cream and gummy bear, and menthol or tobacco for a plainer draw. If there was a bar flavour you got on with, there is usually a bottled nic salt in the same profile.
How to choose your nic salts
The short version
- 10ml bottles at 50/50 VG/PG, built for pod kits rather than sub-ohm tanks
- 20mg is the UK legal maximum strength, so nothing stronger exists here
- 5mg and 10mg suit frequent all-day vaping, 20mg gives more per puff
- Flavour is the decision most people are really making
1. Pick your strength
Strength matters more than anything else on this page. If you vape often through the day, 5mg or 10mg keeps each puff gentle. If you reach for the device less often and want more from each one, 20mg gives you that in the same 10ml bottle. There is nothing above 20mg because UK law caps e-liquid at that strength.
From our guidesHow to choose the right e-liquid strengthA longer look at picking your mg2. Nic salts or freebase?
| Nic salts | Freebase e-liquid | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical strengths | 5mg, 10mg, 20mg | 0mg, 3mg, 6mg, 12mg |
| Bottle sizes | 10ml | 10ml, or 50ml and 100ml shortfills |
| VG/PG ratio | 50/50 | 70/30 and higher |
| Made for | Pod kits and low-power devices | Sub-ohm tanks and mods |
| Throat feel | Smoother at high strength | Sharper at the same mg |
| Vapour | Modest | Large |
Neither is better. They are built for different devices. If you are running a pod kit, nic salts are the match, and our freebase range is there if you move to a bigger tank later.
3. Match it to your kit
Nic salts are made for pod kits. The 50/50 mix is thin enough to wick properly through the small coils these devices use, and their low output is what keeps a high-strength salt comfortable. Putting 20mg salt through a high-power sub-ohm tank is not what either is designed for.
Before you buy
- Check your device takes refillable pods or a standard 50/50 e-liquid
- Pick a strength you can vape all day rather than the strongest available
- Buy two flavours the first time, one safe and one to experiment with
- Check the flavour is easy to reorder before you commit to it
4. Then pick the flavour
This is where most people actually spend their time, and there is no right answer. Fruit and ice blends make the easiest all-day vape, dessert and candy styles work better as an occasional change, and menthol or tobacco suit anyone who wants something plainer. If you liked a particular bar, look for the matching profile in bottled form.
5. The cost side
One 10ml bottle refilled into a pod kit replaces a stack of prefilled bars, and the kit is a one-off spend rather than a repeat one. If simplicity is the goal, a single bottle in your usual flavour plus a refillable pod kit covers it, with nothing else to think about.

Nic Salts FAQs
What are nic salts?
Nic salts are nicotine salt e-liquids, a form of nicotine that stays smooth at higher strengths than standard freebase juice. They come in 10ml bottles at a 50/50 VG/PG ratio, made for pod kits rather than big sub-ohm tanks.
What is the difference between nic salts and freebase e-liquid?
Nic salts use a nicotine form that is gentler on the throat at high strength, which is why 20mg nic salts feel manageable where 20mg freebase would not. Freebase juice comes in lower strengths, thicker 70/30 mixes and bigger bottles for tank kits. See our freebase range if that suits your device better.
What is the strongest nic salt you can buy in the UK?
20mg. UK law caps nicotine in e-liquid at 20mg per ml, so 20mg nic salts are the strongest legal option, here or anywhere else on the UK market.
Which nic salt strength should I pick?
If you vape often through the day, 5mg or 10mg is the lighter, easier choice. If you reach for your device less often and want more nicotine per puff, 20mg gives you that in the same 10ml bottle. Most people find 10mg a sensible middle.
What kit should I use with nic salts?
Pod kits are the natural match. Their small coils and low output suit a 50/50 nic salt far better than a sub-ohm tank does. Browse pod kits, or a refillable pod kit if you are starting from scratch.
Can you use nic salts in a sub-ohm tank?
It is not what either is built for. Sub-ohm tanks run at much higher power and vaporise far more liquid per puff, so a high-strength salt in one is an unpleasant combination. Stick to pod kits and low-power devices for salts, and use freebase e-liquid in a sub-ohm tank.
Are bar salts the same thing as nic salts?
Yes. Bar salts are nic salts flavoured to match popular bar profiles. The nicotine type, the 10ml bottle and the 50/50 mix are all the same, it is the flavour naming that ties them to bars.
What is the difference between a nic salt and a nic shot?
A nic salt is a finished e-liquid you vape straight from the bottle. A nic shot is an unflavoured 10ml booster you add to a shortfill to bring it up to strength. They are not interchangeable.
How long does a 10ml bottle of nic salt last?
It depends on your strength, your device and how often you vape, so there is no single answer. Pod kits sip liquid rather than gulp it, which is why a 10ml bottle tends to go further in a pod than the same bottle would in a sub-ohm tank.
What is the best nic salt flavour?
It comes down to taste. Fruit and ice blends like watermelon or blue razz make the easiest all-day vape, dessert styles like strawberry ice cream work better as an occasional change, and menthol or tobacco suit anyone wanting a plainer, cleaner draw.
