Freebase Nicotine Vape Juice

Freebase e-liquid has a higher pH, delivering a stronger throat hit that mimics smoking. Nicotine salts, by contrast, have a lower pH, resulting in a smoother inhale and faster nicotine absorption—ideal for higher strengths or those who simply prefer a soft and gentle throat hit.

No—throat hit is also affected by the VG:PG ratio. E-liquids with higher PG levels produce a stronger, sharper hit, while those with more VG create a smoother inhale. Device wattage and even certain flavorings (like menthol) can also affect the sensation.

Freebase e-liquids are ideal if you're switching from smoking and want to replicate the sensation of a cigarette on the back of the throat, known as the throat hit. They’re also a great choice if you enjoy a stronger, more noticeable inhale.

If you prefer a smoother vape or are using high nicotine strengths, you’ll probably find nicotine salts are more suited to your preferences.

For most freebase e-liquid low powered devices such as starter kits and pod systems work well. However, freebase e-liquid with lower nicotine levels and higher amounts of VG work well with higher powered devices such as mod and pod mod kits.

For higher nicotine strengths, freebase e-liquids pair best with low-powered devices like starter kits and pod systems. If you're using low nicotine levels (such as 3mg–6mg), you can enjoy freebase e-liquids in higher-powered devices like mods and pod mods - especially those with higher VG content for bigger clouds.

Freebase e-liquids which contain more VG, such as a VG:PG ratio of 70:30, and lower nicotine levels are suitable for sub-ohm vaping. Avoid high-nicotine freebase in Direct-Lung devices as the throat and nicotine hit can be overwhelming.
