Nicotine salts – a real blessing or just one neue Liquid-Variation?
Lately we've been hearing more and more about great new liquids, which are intended to revolutionize nicotine consumption. We're talking about liquids with nicotine salts. From many quarters they are praised as a real blessing, as they make it easier for heavy smokers in particular to switch to e-cigarettes. On the other hand, they are suspected, particularly addictive and increasing the risk of overdose. reason enough, to take a closer look at the much discussed new substances. So that you know exactly, what you are dealing with here, we clarify in this article, what makes nicotine salts so special and what benefits they offer- and disadvantages you have to expect.
Nicotine salt – the longed-for solution for strong ones Smoker?
There is a strong trend in the e-cigarette market towards ever larger mods and more voluminous atomizers, who can do more and more and, above all, generate more and more steam. In this context, more and more liquids with a rather low nicotine content are being offered, Because with large amounts of vapor, more nicotine is naturally absorbed per puff. Additionally, higher concentrations cause a stronger throat hit – the tingling one, scratchy feeling in throat and throat, which is also caused by the smoke from a tobacco cigarette. At higher levels, a lot of nicotine tends to be unpleasant or even trigger a cough. Added, that nicotine also affects the taste of the liquid. Subohm steamers are included 3 – 9 mg of nicotine per ml is usually completely satisfied. Liquids with 18 or 20 mg Nikotin, which were very popular just a few years ago, are less in demand today and are no longer offered by some e-cigarette shops.
This trend is coming to people, who simply want to get away from tobacco with an e-cigarette, but not necessarily against it. Heavy smokers in particular need higher concentrations at the beginning, so that the same feeling of satisfaction arises, that the glow stems also produce. However, liquids with a lot of nicotine are hard to bear at higher performance levels. The consequence: Lower concentrations are vaporized, Those who want to switch are constantly attached to the e-cigarette and use a lot of liquid. Nevertheless, the desired satisfaction doesn't really arrive and so the pyro has to be used again.
Nicotine salts are supposed to help here. Liquids with nicotine salts can also be pleasantly vaped with a high nicotine content, without causing a noticeable throat hit or changing the taste too much. They also last longer, because the body cannot break down the nicotine bound in salt as quickly. However, this also delays the effect and the desired feeling of satisfaction only comes a little later. Nicotine salts are a welcome alternative to commercially available liquids? Let's take a closer look at the differences.
Free nicotine and nicotine salts: Production and effect
The nicotine, which is used for our well-known and valued liquids and nicotine shots, is nicotine in its purest form. The nicotine is extracted and released from the tobacco leaves using ammonia. This free nicotine quickly becomes gaseous, the body absorbs it well and it works very effectively. Together with a solution of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), which serves as a carrier material, as well as some nice food flavors, it becomes a tasty liquid. Free nicotine is also found in tobacco cigarettes and many nicotine replacement products, like chewing gum, Sprays and plasters, to find. However, there is one crucial problem: Free nicotine has a high pH value, is therefore very alkaline or. basic. As a result, it irritates the mucous membranes and causes a strong throat hit when inhaled. So you can't vape free nicotine in too high concentrations, without it becoming uncomfortable.
Nicotine salts, on the other hand, correspond to nicotine, as it occurs in its natural form in tobacco. In this natural form it does not become gaseous so quickly, you would have to heat it very high, to make it steamable. For this reason, benzoic acid is added to the salts. It doesn't just take care of that, that the nicotine salts turn into vapor even at lower temperatures, it also lowers the pH, which makes the liquids more pleasant and gentle. This means that vapers can also inhale very high concentrations of nicotine, without your throat burning. Unfortunately, this nicotine bound in salt is not absorbed by the body as well as free nicotine - which can then be compensated for with a higher nicotine content. There is also a delay in effect, The desired nicotine rush only occurs after a few seconds, but it lasts longer. Liquids with nicotine salts are therefore more tolerable than those with free nicotine, but should be enjoyed with some caution, as the desired effect takes a while to arrive.
There is hype about JUUL & Co.
Liquids with nicotine salts have appeared in Great Britain and the USA, particularly as a result of POD systems. What exactly this is about, you can read about it here. Products like the JUUL or the Suorin Drop have caused a real hype there, because the liquid in the small, replaceable cartridges seems to work particularly quickly and effectively. But that's no wonder - because it contains up to three times as much nicotine as conventional liquids, cause at 50 mg per ml but just a throat hit like a regular one 6 mg Liquid. Poor absorption by the organism and a delayed feeling of satisfaction can of course be counteracted with correspondingly more nicotine. This is exactly why nicotine salts are assumed, particularly addictive. In Germany, however, the TPD2 has already put a stop to this trend, Because in the EU only liquids with a maximum are allowed 20 mg of nicotine sold per ml. Liquids in such high concentrations are therefore not available in this country.
Advantages and disadvantages of nicotine salts at a glance
Nicotine salts have a lot going for them due to their tolerability and their minimal impact on taste, but they also come with a few catches. The before- We have summarized the disadvantages and disadvantages of the new liquids here:
