What are the Best Nic Salts for UK Vapers in 2022?

Nic salts are popular for a reason. For former smokers in the UK, it’s the closest sensation as a vaper you’ll get to cigarettes - in terms of throat hit, nicotine strength comparable to cigarettes, flavour and nicotine rush. And you have a plethora of ways to enjoy nic salts, from easy to use and discardable disposables with no maintenance required, to portable nic salt e-liquid bottles and nic salt pods that slip straight into a vape device. However, out of all the hundreds of nic salts available, which are the best for UK vapers in terms of flavour, delivery into the system and all-in-one devices using nic salts?

For a smooth all-around vaping experience, from firing up the kit to exhaling, you can’t beat the delivery and performance of the Elf Bar Mate 500 device with the Elf Bar P1 Pods containing nic salt e-liquid.

UK vapers will revel in the simplicity of this pod system, which is very similar to the popular Elf Bar 600 disposable series but more cost-effective. The same great flavours such as Blue Razz Lemonade, Energy and Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava create a cooler mouth to lung hit that’s delicious with every inhale as you savour the different options from the eight prefilled P1 Pods. It produces a mild amount of cloud which is ideal as the 2% nic salt is a popular option with heavy smokers looking for a similar sensation.

Regardless of whether you prefer traditional freebase nicotine or nic salts, you have plenty of options for both in the UK. While some vapers opt for the freebase nicotine because it’s a stronger throat hit in a more synthetic form, nic salts present an alternative that’s less harsh on the throat and produces a milder draw with each inhale and exhale.

When you combine that with some stunning flavour options, it offers vapers a winning formula for a user-friendly vaping time after time. Because Geek Bars have so many 20mg nic salts to choose from, you never run out of options.

The list of flavours is huge and boasts some nice blends of fruity concoctions and traditional cool ice-blast options if you want a hint of menthol on the exhale. Check out the list below of our recommended nic salt flavours from the Geek Bars range courtesy of GeekVape:

• Watermelon Ice
• Blueberry Ice
• Peach Ice
• Mango Ice
• Sweet Strawberry
• Sour Apple
• Banana Ice

Alternatively, you can browse the Geek Bar Lites, which have a few fewer flavours but in an even more compact form with a slightly smaller battery at 350mAh compared to 500mAh, which work out as a cheaper option than cigarettes.

This 280mAh draw-activated disposable vape, which kicks out up to 300 puffs is convenience personified. Small and curved so it’s easy to grip in the hand, the SMOK MBAR could last a day if used lightly. Because of its balanced 50/50 VG to PG ratio, it’s neither too strong in terms of clouds or too tight a throat hit because of the 2% nic salt.

Better yet, it doesn’t need charging. Therefore you can purchase a flavour as tasty as Blueberry Raspberry or Strawberry Ice then pick up another one when it's done without needing to change coils or e-liquids. Dispose of the old and vape on a fresh vape with no maintenance required.

If you want to top up your vape kit with the smoothest nic salt e-liquid, the premium range of different flavoured bottles from Vsavi work a treat. What you get is a range of choices from Coffee Latte to Juicy Lemonade that’s smooth throughout the inhale and exhale process. Also, it pairs perfectly with a range of devices that are compatible with nic salts.

Vapers often wonder whether nic salts are better than freebase nicotine and it’s certainly evident to many with Vsavi’s 50PG/50VG Nic Salts. Easy on the intake, a faster delivery of nicotine in seconds using benzoic acid to increase the speed time of absorption, for vapers it’s a quicker way to get a hit or ‘nicotine rush’ without needing to vape as often.

Made in the UK, Pod Salt produces ground-breaking vape juices at high nicotine strengths offering a silky smooth e-liquid experience. What’s great about this brand is the widely assorted bunch of flavours at the disposal of satisfied vapers. And better yet - they’re able to create wonderful tasty blends such as Strawberry Kiwi Lime in partnership with other top brands like Pacha Mama in the Fusion collection.

Other examples such as Blueberry Jam Tart and Yogi Peanut Banana Granola are some of the most creative and sweet-tasting bottles to top up your device you can find. And because the PH level is lower, like in all nic salts, the throat hit is less intense, easier on the throat and better for smokers looking to adjust to vaping in fewer intervals. This is in contrast to freebase, where vapers will need to vape more often to get the sensation they’re used to with smoking.

The only thing that should be easier than the throat hit via nic salts is the device you drop the nic salt e-liquid in. Voom devices are the answer thanks to the simple magnetic grooves on the Voom for routine swapping between empty and fresh pods. You can pick from scrumptious nic salt flavours in 20mg strength like Shisha Double Apple and Ice Mango.

So there you have it, a varied mixture of different ways that you can get nic salts in the UK to use as an alternative to smoking. Each one is unique in its own right and while they offer something much smoother, powerful and quicker to absorb than freebase nicotine, it’s a personal choice how you do it as nic salts grow in popularity year by year since its creation. Do you opt for disposables, which cost a little more than nic salt e-liquids but don’t need any setup? Or do you have a longer-lasting bottle of 10ml nic salt (or multiple ones in different flavours) that you can top up as and when you need it?
