Le Vapoteur Discount guide to nicotine salt e-liquid
An e-liquid is a consumable intended exclusively for electronic cigarettes.
Nicotine salt e-liquids are specially designed to support smokers in their transition to vaping, providing an experience closer to traditional cigarettes, without discomfort.
Unlike conventional nicotine, known as freebase, nicotine salts are absorbed more quickly by the body. The result: an almost immediate feeling of satisfaction, ideal for effectively calming sudden urges to smoke, also known as cravings, which are common at the start of smoking cessation.
Another major benefit: even with high nicotine strengths (10 mg/ml or 20 mg/ml), inhalation remains smoother, with a noticeably reduced throat hit. Nicotine salts therefore allow you to vape comfortably, without irritation or an aggressive sensation.
This type of e-liquid is particularly recommended for heavy smokers, beginner vapers or those looking for a simple, effective and fast solution to cut down and then quit smoking. Fewer puffs, but greater effectiveness: nicotine salts focus on quality rather than quantity.
Which nicotine strength should I choose for my nicotine salt e-liquid?
Nicotine salt e-liquids are generally available in 10 mg/ml and 20 mg/ml, to suit different smoker profiles:
- Light to moderate smoker (fewer than 10 cigarettes a day): a strength of 10 mg/ml is generally sufficient to meet nicotine needs without overdosing;
- Regular to heavy smoker (more than 10 cigarettes a day): a strength of 20 mg/ml is recommended to effectively compensate for nicotine withdrawal and limit cigarette cravings.
These suggestions are, of course, for guidance only. Every vaper is unique: it is important to adjust your nicotine strength according to your preferences, equipment and vaping habits.
What equipment should I use with nicotine salt e-liquid?
Nicotine salts require low-powered equipment, designed for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping, to avoid absorbing nicotine too quickly. They are most often made with a 50/50 PG/VG ratio to suit many electronic cigarettes with a tight, restricted draw.
Electronic cigarette
Thanks to its balanced viscosity, nicotine salt e-liquid is compatible with most versatile electronic cigarettes, including:
- CoolFire Z80 Kit by Innokin: the unbeatable single-battery box mod, versatile and fitted with the Zenith 2;
- Zelos M80 Kit by Aspire: the winner of VapExpo 2025;
- iStick X80 Kit by Eleaf: the new generation of the iStick series;
- Xros Pro 2 Kit by Vaporesso: the kit with impeccable flavour delivery.
Pods
This e-liquid also works very well with modern pods, valued for their simplicity and discretion:
- Soul 2 Kit by GeekVape: the pod with XXL battery life and a versatile draw from GeekVape;
- Pixo Max Kit by Aspire: the latest Pixo with maximum battery life and new pods;
- Centaurus Ori 35 Kit by Lost Vape: a Centaurus pod with incredible performance and finish.
Clearomisers
For stable, hassle-free vaping, choose versatile clearomisers capable of handling different inhalation styles, from MTL to restricted RDL:
- Zenith 2 Clearomiser by Innokin: unbeatable, versatile, ideal for MTL or RDL;
- X Tank T Clearomiser by Vaporesso: the latest addition to the GTX series;
- Zeus Nano 2 Clearomiser by GeekVape: a versatile Zeus, fitted with B Series coils;
- Nautilus GT 2 Clearomiser by Aspire: a timeless Nautilus with a modern design.
Coils
The coil resistance should ideally be between 0.8 ohm and 1.8 ohm, for adaptable, economical and enjoyable vaping.
Drip tip
A standard 510 drip tip is generally recommended. This format channels all the flavours of e-liquids and provides a tight draw similar to that of a traditional cigarette.
Power settings
A nicotine salt e-liquid does not need high power to be effective. A power range between 8 and 25 watts maximum is generally preferred, depending on the coil fitted and the desired draw.
Maintaining your electronic cigarette
To preserve your equipment's performance and the quality of your vape:
- Regularly clean your clearomiser and drip tip to prevent residue build-up;
- Replace the coil as soon as flavours deteriorate or vapour production decreases (on average every 2 to 3 weeks);
- Avoid leaving a tank filled with the same e-liquid unused for more than 5 days, to reduce the risk of leaks or flavour deterioration.
Precautions for use
- If you do not smoke, do not vape;
- Products containing nicotine are prohibited for minors, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and people with cardiovascular disorders or high blood pressure;
- In the event of allergies, carefully check the list of ingredients and any allergens (limonene, nuts, etc.) shown on the label;
- In the event of skin contact, nicotine may be irritating for sensitive individuals. Rinse thoroughly with soap and water in the event of prolonged contact.

FAQ
An e-liquid (or liquid for electronic cigarette) is the product that generates vapour when heated by the coil of an electronic cigarette. Unlike traditional cigarettes, there is no combustion. The e-liquid is composed of a base (propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine), flavourings, and optionally nicotine. It is what determines the taste, the throat hit, the cloud production, and the overall vaping experience.
An e-liquid generally contains four elements:
- propylene glycol (PG), which carries the flavours, enhances the throat hit and provides a sensation close to that of a cigarette;
- vegetable glycerin (VG), responsible for the vapour and the density of the cloud;
- flavourings, which provide the taste (fruit, mint, classic tobacco, dessert, ice…);
- nicotine, optional, which helps manage cravings in vapers who are quitting smoking.
An e-liquid with nicotine is intended for vapers who want to replace the traditional cigarette. Nicotine acts on the feeling of satisfaction and reduces cravings. E-liquids without nicotine are used either at the end of the quitting process, or purely for the pleasure of vaping, even though it is not recommended to vape if you are not a smoker. Choosing the right nicotine level is essential to avoid a bad experience (throat irritation or cravings).
The nicotine dosage depends on your previous cigarette consumption. A light smoker will not have the same needs as a heavy smoker. A level that is too low can lead to frustration and relapse, while a level that is too high can cause throat discomfort. The goal is to find a balance between hit, sensation and vaping comfort, adjusting gradually as needed.
We generally recommend a low dosage of 0, 3 or 6 mg/ml of nicotine for light smokers or occasional smokers (fewer than 7 cigarettes per day), and a high dosage of 20 mg/ml of nicotine salt for a heavy smoker (1 packet of cigarettes or more). However, this dosage can be adjusted depending on your e-cigarette and the way you vape.
Nicotine salt is a more stable and smoother form of nicotine to inhale. It provides rapid absorption, with a less harsh throat hit, even at high strengths. Nicotine salt e-liquids are particularly suited to beginner vapers, former heavy smokers, and low-wattage MTL kits.
There are different nicotine salt strengths. The best-known and most effective is 20 mg/ml, which is very suitable for heavy smokers. However, a 10 mg/ml strength can work very well for a regular or occasional smoker.
A nicotine booster is a concentrated nicotine bottle, designed to be added to a large-format e-liquid. It allows you to adjust the final nicotine level depending on the quantity added. Flexible and cost-effective, this solution allows you to boost your large-format e-liquid to 3 or 6 mg/ml of nicotine. For a 50 ml e-liquid, adding one nicotine booster will give you 3 mg/ml, while two nicotine boosters will transform your e-liquid into 6 mg/ml.
The propylene glycol / vegetable glycerin ratio strongly influences the vape.
- An e-liquid rich in propylene glycol or PG (70/30, 80/20) enhances the throat hit, flavour precision and a discreet vape. The e-liquid will be fluid and compatible only with MTL equipment with a tight draw to avoid leaks.
- An e-liquid rich in vegetable glycerin or VG (30/70) produces more vapour and clouds, with a softer, sweeter sensation. This thicker e-liquid will be compatible with sub-ohm or shisha-type e-cigarettes, producing large clouds of vapour at high power.
E-liquids with a vegetable base or Végétol replace traditional propylene glycol. They are often gentler on the throat, better tolerated by vapers who are sensitive to PG, and offer a smoother vape without compromising on flavour. However, they should be used in MTL with a low wattage (minimum 30 watts) to avoid the risk of leaks and preserve the quality of the product.
Yes, CBD e-liquids are designed for vaping and generally do not contain nicotine. They offer a different sensation, focused on relaxation, without any addictive effect. They should be used at moderate wattage to preserve the quality of the product. A mouth-to-lung (MTL) electronic cigarette with a tight draw is recommended.
E-liquids are considered a much healthier alternative to smoked tobacco. They are formulated from ingredients certified as safe for health, unlike the 7,000 harmful substances found in traditional cigarettes. Nevertheless, to choose a safe e-liquid, a few precautions should be taken, such as buying your e-liquid from a recognised retailer like Le Vapoteur Discount, or checking the composition and origin by favouring reputable and regulated brands.
An e-liquid manufactured in France meets strict requirements and European directives regarding traceability, control, and safety. As a guarantee of quality and transparency for the consumer, French and European brands generally have their own laboratory for developing their e-liquid formula and are required to have this formulation studied by an independent laboratory before bringing it to market. All these steps ensure that e-liquids are safe for vapers. These French and European quality standards prohibit undesirable substances and provide a more secure framework for vaping.
To keep your e-liquid as long as possible and preserve its quality, taste and colour, you should keep it in its original bottle and ideally away from light, heat and air. Despite these precautions, it can happen that the e-liquid takes on a slightly brown tint. Safe and suitable for consumption, this colour is due to the oxidation of nicotine and can also depend on the flavouring used in the e-liquid. It is generally recommended not to keep the same e-liquid for more than 5 days in your clearomiser or pod cartridge if you are not using it, to avoid leaks and excessive oxidation.
The DLUO (Date Limite d'Utilisation Optimale) or BBD (Best Before Date) is an indicative date. Once the e-liquid's date has passed, it may lose its taste qualities and appearance (colour, fluidity). An e-liquid fresh from the factory will have a BBD of approximately 2 years. Even past the BBD, the e-liquid remains suitable for vaping and will not be harmful to health.
