About nic salts

Smoother at high strength — which is why switchers start here.

At Vaping 101 we stock one of the UK’s largest collections of nicotine salt e-liquids, offering smooth, satisfying nicotine delivery at 5mg, 10mg and 20mg strengths. Nic salts are designed specifically for pod systems and mouth-to-lung devices, providing faster absorption and a softer throat hit than traditional freebase nicotine.

Whether you are new to vaping or looking for a more efficient nicotine hit, the range covers every major brand and flavour profile — all TPD-compliant, all 10ml, and all eligible for 4 for £9.50. Browse a full range like Elux Legend flavour by flavour, or pick up replacement coils and pods for the kit you are running them in.

Shop nic salts by strength

Strength is the first decision, and the one people most often get wrong. It depends on your smoking history, your device and how often you vape.

5mg nic salts

Best for
  • Light smokers, 1–5 a day
  • Vapers stepping down their nicotine
  • All-day vaping without a strong buzz

5mg nic salts offer a light nicotine hit, ideal for casual vapers or anyone reducing their intake. 151 of our nic salts are available at 5mg.

10mg nic salts

Best for
  • Moderate smokers, 5–10 a day
  • A balanced, everyday experience
  • Vapers unsure where to start

10mg is the mid-range option, balancing smoothness against noticeable nicotine satisfaction. It is the most widely stocked strength we carry, on 348 products.

20mg nic salts

Best for
  • Heavy smokers, 10–20+ a day
  • Quick, powerful satisfaction
  • People transitioning off cigarettes
  • Minimal vaping, maximum effect

20mg is the maximum legal strength in the UK and provides the strongest nicotine delivery available. If you smoked heavily, start here and adjust down if needed.

Shop nic salts by flavour profile

Nic salts come in every flavour imaginable, from refreshing fruits to indulgent desserts. We organise ours by profile, which makes it simple to find your next favourite — and every count below is live from this collection.

Fruit — 287 products

Best for
  • Berries and citrus
  • Tropical blends
  • Orchard fruits
  • The biggest group by far

Bright, refreshing and naturally sweet, fruit nic salts are the most popular choice among vapers. They deliver clean, vibrant flavours that work beautifully in pod systems and MTL devices. Strawberry (56), Raspberry (52) and Apple (51) are the notes that recur most.

Menthol & ice — 157 products

Best for
  • A cooling finish
  • Palate-cleansing all-day vapes
  • Ex-menthol smokers
  • Summer

Cool, crisp and refreshing, menthol and ice nic salts give a cooling finish with every puff. Perfect if you want a refreshing, palate-cleansing vape through the day. Ice appears as a note in 143 of our salts, more than any other single flavour word.

Drinks & beverage — 48 products

Best for
  • Cola and lemonade
  • Cocktails and mojitos
  • Energy-drink profiles
  • A break from fruit

Beverage-inspired nic salts deliver familiar, satisfying tastes that never get boring. Lemonade (22), Cola (13) and Mojito (9) lead the group, and they sit well as a second bottle alongside a heavier fruit.

Dessert — 44 products

Best for
  • Custards and creams
  • Cakes and pastries
  • An after-meal vape
  • All-day sweetness

Rich, creamy and indulgent, dessert nic salts bring cakes, custards and sweet treats into vapour form. They work beautifully as an all-day vape or as a satisfying after-meal treat. Be aware they gunk coils faster than a clean fruit will.

Candy & sweets — 37 products

Best for
  • Sweet-shop nostalgia
  • Sour and fizzy profiles
  • Gummy and bubblegum
  • Younger palates

Fun, bold and nostalgic, candy nic salts replicate the taste of childhood sweets. They add a playful twist and pair well with the smoothness of a salt base. Bubblegum (19) and Sweets (13) are the biggest notes in the group.

Tobacco — 13 products

Best for
  • Ex-smokers mid-switch
  • A familiar profile
  • Creamy and sweet tobaccos
  • Anyone who dislikes sweet vapes

Smooth, familiar and satisfying, tobacco nic salts replicate the taste of traditional cigarettes. They are ideal for ex-smokers who prefer a familiar flavour during the transition — and there is a creamy tobacco note on 13 further products if plain tobacco is too dry.

Best devices for nic salts

Nic salts perform best in devices designed for lower wattage and tighter airflow. Here is what actually works with them.

Pod systems

Best for
  • Low wattage, 10–15W, prevents nicotine overload
  • Tight MTL airflow enhances satisfaction
  • Refillable or pre-filled options
  • Compact and discreet

Pod systems are purpose-built for nic salts, offering simplicity, portability and excellent flavour. The Vaporesso XROS, OXVA Xlim and Uwell Caliburn families are the ones people land on. Browse all 119 pod kits.

MTL starter kits

Best for
  • Simple operation for beginners
  • Adjustable airflow
  • Long battery life at low wattages
  • Consistent performance

MTL starter kits give a cigarette-like draw and are ideal for new vapers on nic salts. If you are coming straight off cigarettes rather than off a disposable, this is usually the better starting point.

MTL tanks

Best for
  • Refillable and easy to maintain
  • Replaceable coils for a longer lifespan
  • Adjustable airflow
  • Compatible with a wide range of mods

If you prefer a mod and tank setup, MTL tanks perform well with salts. You keep the battery you already own and swap only the coil when the flavour drops off.

Disposables

Best for
  • No refilling or maintenance
  • Pre-charged and ready to use
  • Compact and travel-friendly
  • Countless flavours

Many disposables come pre-filled with nic salts, offering ultimate convenience. They are convenient, but a refillable pod system offers far better long-term value and is considerably less wasteful.

Why choose nic salts?

Smoother throat hit +
Nic salts feel gentler even at 20mg, which makes higher strengths far easier to vape. Freebase nicotine at the same level is noticeably harsher.
Faster nicotine absorption +
Nic salts enter the bloodstream more quickly, so satisfaction arrives sooner. That quicker hit closely mimics the sensation of smoking a cigarette, which is why ex-smokers get on with them.
Better for MTL devices +
They work perfectly with pod systems and low-wattage starter kits. Less vapour means discreet vaping, and lower-wattage devices last longer between charges.
Great flavour clarity +
The smoother delivery lets the flavour come through without being overpowered by throat hit — the reason a 20mg salt can taste cleaner than a 12mg freebase.
Nic salts vs freebase — which is right for you? +
Nic salts suit ex-smokers looking for quick satisfaction, higher strengths of 10–20mg, a smoother throat hit and low-power pod kit. Freebase suits sub-ohm tanks and high-wattage mods, lower strengths of 0–12mg, bigger vapour clouds and anyone who actively wants a stronger throat hit. If you want quick satisfaction with minimal vapour, choose salts; if you enjoy clouds and lower nicotine, stay on freebase.
Better battery efficiency +
Because salts run in low-wattage devices, the battery lasts noticeably longer between charges than the same capacity would in a sub-ohm kit. A 1500mAh pod kit on a salt will comfortably outlast a 3000mAh mod on a shortfill.

How to choose the right nic salt

1. Choose your nicotine strength +
Start from your smoking history. 10+ a day, start at 20mg. 5–10 a day, start at 10mg. Reducing nicotine or vaping constantly through the day, try 5mg. Most vapers find their strength within the first week.
2. Pick your flavour profile +
Love fruit, choose a fruit salt for a fresh, vibrant taste. Prefer coolness, go for menthol or an ice blend. Want something familiar while you switch, choose tobacco. After something indulgent, dessert or candy.
3. Check it suits your device +
Nic salts belong in low-wattage MTL kit — pod systems and starter kits running roughly 10–15W with coils above 1.0 ohm. Never run them in a sub-ohm tank; the vapour volume delivers far too much nicotine.
4. Try before you commit +
Buy a single 10ml before committing to a stack of them. Most vapers try three to five flavours before landing on their go-to — which is what the 4 for £9.50 mix-and-match is for.

Ramillion

Nic salt FAQs

What are nic salts? +
A type of e-liquid using nicotine in its natural salt form, which gives a smoother throat hit and faster absorption than traditional freebase nicotine. They are designed specifically for pod systems and MTL devices, delivering satisfying nicotine at higher strengths without harshness.
Are nic salts stronger than normal e-liquid? +
They come in higher strengths — 10mg and 20mg in the UK — but the throat hit is smoother than freebase at the same level. The nicotine is absorbed faster, so they feel more satisfying while being gentler on the throat.
Can I use nic salts in a sub-ohm tank? +
No. Sub-ohm tanks and high-wattage devices produce far more vapour, which would deliver too much nicotine at once and cause dizziness or discomfort. Nic salts are for low-wattage pod systems and MTL devices only.
Which nicotine strength should I choose? +
If you smoked 10+ a day, start at 20mg. Moderate smokers, 5–10 a day, try 10mg. If you are reducing your nicotine or vaping frequently through the day, consider 5mg. Most people find their strength within a few days.
How long does a 10ml bottle last? +
It depends how often you vape, but most users get three to seven days out of a 10ml. Pod kits use less liquid than sub-ohm tanks, so a salt lasts longer per bottle than a high-VG freebase.
Do nic salts produce big clouds? +
No — they are made for low-wattage devices that produce minimal vapour, which makes them ideal for discreet vaping in situations where clouds are not practical.
Are nic salts good for quitting smoking? +
Many ex-smokers find them easier to switch to, because the faster absorption and smoother throat hit closely replicate the sensation of smoking. Paired with an MTL device they are one of the most effective routes off cigarettes.
Can I mix nic salts with freebase e-liquid? +
Technically possible, but not recommended. Mixing the two gives unpredictable nicotine delivery and throat hit. Use each in the device it was designed for.
