Nicotine Salts and Disposable E Cigs

For years, vaporizers have relied on e-liquids containing freebase nicotine extracted from tobacco leaves. When mixed with liquid flavor and diluents like vegetable glycerin, you are left with an e-liquid that can produce clouds of flavorful vapor and deliver a satisfying hit of nicotine. Traditional vapes have remained a popular option, but recently salt nicotine e-liquids have made pod based vaporizers and disposable E cigs an extremely popular alternative for vapers.

One of the biggest downsides of traditional vaporizers is the fact that vaporizers need to produce fairly large clouds of vapor. This is a direct result of the fact that freebase nicotine can become extremely harsh on the throat at high concentrations. If you want a satisfying hit off a traditional vaporizer, you need to inhale a large volume or vapor or take several hits. In order to offer a more compact vape alternative, nicotine salt e-liquids have to be used.

Salt nic vapor is less harsh than traditional freebase nicotine. This means that you can put more nicotine in the e-liquid without the vapor becoming extremely irritating to the throat. The creation of nicotine salt e-liquids meant that users no longer needed to carry a powerful device that was capable of producing massive clouds of vapor. Instead, a much smaller device could be used to produce small puffs of vapor that contained just the right amount of nicotine.

The first vaporizer to use only nicotine salt e-liquid was the Juul pod vaporizer. The Juul quickly exploded in popularity because it finally offered vapers a compact and discrete device that could provide a satisfying amount of nicotine. Sadly these little vapes quickly became so popular that they became the focus of a ban on flavored vape pods aimed at preventing teenage vaping. The only prefilled pod options that are still found on store shelves are either tobacco or menthol flavored.

The ban on flavored pods led to vapers struggling to find an alternative that offered the same nicotine salt flavors that they used to get from their favorite pods. Disposable E cigs are one of the most popular alternatives due to their incredible ease of use. The disposable vape is nothing new, various brands have been offering disposable E cigs for at least a decade, but these vapes used freebase nicotine and just could not deliver the satisfying vaping experience. New nic salt disposables like the Puff Bar are a new class of disposable that come in a variety of flavors and use the same draw activated circuitry as the Juul vaporizer.
