Caramel Tobacco Nic Salt E-Liquid by Doozy Salts

1 x 10ml Doozy Vape Caramel Tobacco Nic Salt E-Liquid

E-Liquid Blends and Nicotine Salts

65/70% PG - These blends also contain 30/35% VG and they're usually ideal for standard heating coils with a resistance of somewhere between 1.5Ω to 2.5Ω (this number is often written on the coil in small writing). They're often ok down to 1.0Ω but performance will depend on your coil. There is less vapour with PG liquids.

50/50% VG - these blends also contain 50% PG and they're designed for standard coils with a resistance of 1.0Ω through to 1.8Ω, as a guide. Many 50% VG blends also work well with sub-Ohm coils but it's trial an error and will depend on your coil. This juice blend will usually provide a medium amount of vapour but less flavour if you're not able to vary the power output on your device.

70% VG e-liquid - best suited to sub-Ohm heating coils (sub-Ohm means less than 1.0Ω) and a device with variable power because you will probably need to adjust the output to achieve optimum flavour. Higher VG blends produce a lot more vapour cloud.

Use our page link e-liquid blends if you want to know more about thicknesses, viscosity, PG / VG ratios, nicotine levels, vapour production and what makes for a smooth or harsh throat hit, and more or less flavour. This will also help guide you through to suitable e-liquid for your device and help tailor your preferences.

Nicotine Levels

The most common nicotine strengths are 3mg, 6mg, 12mg and 18mg. 3mg is low and 18mg is high. Remember that nicotine feels stronger when used with low Ohm and sub-Ohm coils and when the power is increased.

If we're out of stock of a particular strength, say 12mg, remember you can blend two different strengths together. Ie, the same amount of 6mg with the same amount of 18mg makes 12mg. What we mean is, if you mix them 50/50 in your tank you will have 12mg. Just remember to put the weakest strength in first.

Bottle Seals

Sometimes people think the seals are broken when they're not and some brands cause more confusion that others.

The seal parts aren't connected to the cap, the cap usually moves independently, the seal parts are attached to the part underneath the cap and you have to look very carefully sometimes to check whether it's intact or not. When the cap is sufficiently pushed down and turned the seal breaks.

Some brands use bottle types that have a lower seal ring so there is a gap between the ring and the cap. Sometimes you will hear the seals break and other times you won't.

E-liquid packaging/boxes

For smaller orders we may send the bottles without their individual boxes (if they have boxes) to avoid having to charge you additional shipping of about £2.50 for a 'small parcel' with Royal Mail. Anything over 25mm in the packet is a small parcel. Plus, we get to spot the leaking bottles or any issues before you do.

Beginner's Guide to Nic Salts E-Liquid

Nicotine salts, also known as nic salt e-liquid, is a relatively new vaping innovation and ideally suited to pod-style vaping devices and all-in-one kits, ie straightforward beginner/intermediate devices with no power adjustments.

Some experienced users do use other types of devices with nic salts, but they keep their power low, and their nicotine low.

Avoid using nic salts with high levels of nicotine with devices or coils that have to operate at higher wattages.

Increasingly there are coils being specifically designed for use with nic salts, but you can use many traditional coils too.

Although basically similar, in that both types of e-liquid usually contain nicotine and flavourings, traditional e-liquid contains what's called 'freebase' nicotine, and the more recent 'nic salt' liquid contains a different ingredient and creates a different vaping experience. The delivery of nicotine in nic salts when vaped is much smoother, despite the levels being potentially much higher.

Standard e-Liquid (with freebase nicotine)

Freebase nicotine is very pure nicotine and it's been the default form for the majority of e-liquid manufacturers (and traditional cigarette manufacturers too). You won't see e-liquids labelled as freebase by the way, it's simply e-liquid or e-juice, etc.

In e-liquid, freebase nicotine is usually added to a blend of VG (vegetable glycerin) and PG (propylene glycol) which act as base or 'carrier' fluids, along with flavourings.

Nicotine Salt E-Liquid

Nic salt e-liquid contains nicotine in varying amounts, and flavourings, in just the same way as standard freebase e-liquids contain these ingredients. Nic salts also usually contain VG and PG as well, most commonly 50/50 but the amounts can vary.

Where nic salt e-liquid is different is through the addition of benzoic acid, which enables the nicotine content, even at higher levels, to be vaped with a much smoother hit, and at relatively low temperatures, ie without needing to adjust the temperature, hence the suitability to non-variable/non-adjustable devices such as pod systems and AIO kits.

Becoming a little more technical, freebase nicotine has a higher pH, which leads to increased alkalinity. This increase in alkalinity causes a harsher throat hit, which usually leads to lower levels of nicotine being vaped.

Benzoic acid in nic salt e-liquid creates the opposite effect as it lowers the pH levels of nicotine and reduces the alkalinity, which results is a much smoother hit.

Advantages of Nic Salts

The advantageous use of nic salts depends on the needs of the user and the device.

Vapers left feeling unsatisfied by a lack of nicotine in one way or another may benefit from using nic salt e-liquids, ie vapers looking for a higher dose of nicotine can use nic salts' smooth delivery of nicotine. In addition, there is usually less impact on flavour with nic salts compared to freebase e-liquid. Generally, nic salt juice has a negligible impact on flavour which provides a richer and more flavourful vape.

Nicotine salts can be a good option if you need a strong dose of nicotine (but not harsh) and prefer a more cigarette-like experience.

Disadvantages of Nic Salts

There's less choice of flavours, but this is rapidly changing and probably won't be an issue. There will soon be something to please all palates.

Users of high output sub-Ohm devices/coils, will need to stay with their 3mg and 6mg nicotine levels in freebase e-liquid. Nic salts won't be an option for these users unless they opt for nic salt with low levels of nicotine and keep their power turned down, which is what some people are doing.

Nicotine salts are not suited to all devices as the temperature of the vape needs to be restricted, and there can be other factors too.

The smooth hit with salt nic e-liquids can mask the high levels of nicotine, so be aware not to overvape (without realising) as this can result in heachades and other unpleasant side effects.

Are Nicotine Salts Right for Me?

Only you can answer these questions. A yes to them makes a case for trying nic salts, no's means stick to standard e-liquid.

• Are you a heavy smoker (one or more packs per day)
• Do you want a more cigarette-like experience
• Do you feel you need a stronger dose of nicotine when vaping
• Do you want the nicotine hit to be smooth or harsh (nic salts are very smooth)

Other considerations, if you don't already have a device:

• How much will the device cost (stick to a good well-known brand)
• How much are the replacement parts (these could be pods and coils for example)
• How long do the parts last (on average)
