Nicotine salts are essentially amine salts formed by the reaction of nicotine with acids. Nicotine, commonly known as tobacco alkaloid, belongs to the pyridine derivative class of alkaloids and has a certain alkalinity. Compared to nicotine, nicotine salts are much less irritating to the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat.
E-cigarette e-liquids typically use nicotine salts. Nicotine salt e-liquids provide users with a higher concentration of nicotine without the harshness of the same concentration of nicotine, providing a sensation closer to traditional smoking. This is mainly because nicotine salts reduce the irritation of nicotine to the mouth and throat. Furthermore, nicotine salts are synthesized from natural organic acids such as citric acid and tartaric acid, which also have some benefits for the human body, making nicotine salt e-liquids safer and healthier.
