What are Nicotine Salts? 20mg vs 50mg – The Ultimate E-Liquid Guide
Why does the VOZOL GEAR use nicotine salt? How is it different from regular vape juice? We explain the difference between 2% and 5% strength.
Have you ever wondered why modern disposable vapes feel so "smooth" compared to the old, harsh vape pens of the past?
The secret isn't just the device – it's the chemistry. It is called Nicotine Salt.
In this guide, we explain in simple terms what it is, why the VOZOL GEAR uses it, and how to choose the right strength for you.
1. What is Nicotine Salt?
Standard nicotine (Freebase), used in older devices, is alkaline. This means at high concentrations, it feels harsh and scratches the throat ("Throat Hit").
Nicotine Salt is modified by adding a natural acid (usually benzoic acid). This changes the pH level, making the vapor neutral and smooth to inhale.
Key Differences:
| Feature | Freebase Nicotine | Nicotine Salt |
|---|---|---|
| Throat Hit | Harsh, scratchy | Smooth, gentle |
| Absorption | Slow (10-15 min) | Instant (5-10 sec) |
| Best For | Huge cloud chasing | Compact devices (VOZOL) |
2. Why does VOZOL GEAR use Salts?
The VOZOL GEAR 50000 is designed to mimic the sensation of a cigarette without the combustion. Nicotine salts allow for:
- Instant Satisfaction: You don't need to vape for 20 minutes. 3-5 puffs are often enough to feel the effect.
- Higher Strength Comfort: You can vape a 50mg (5%) liquid without coughing. Doing that with old-school nicotine would be painful.
3. Strengths: 20mg (2%) vs 50mg (5%)
Many buyers get confused by the numbers. Here is the breakdown:
- 20mg (2%): The European standard. Good for "social" smokers or those who want a moderate effect. Equivalent to light cigarettes.
- 50mg (5%): The high-power standard (available in VOZOL GEAR). Very potent. Best for heavy smokers switching to vaping. It provides instant relief from cravings.
4. Is it safer?
Current research suggests nicotine salts are no more harmful than standard nicotine – they are simply more efficient. Because they absorb faster, users often end up vaping less frequently because they get satisfied quicker.

If you are looking for a device that doesn't hurt your throat, gives instant satisfaction, and lasts a long time, you need Nicotine Salts. The VOZOL GEAR combines this chemistry with S.I.L.C. Mesh Coil technology to deliver perfect flavor from the first puff to the last.
