Most people using pod vapes are after three things: flavor, nicotine satisfaction, and ease of use.
That’s exactly why disposable vapes exploded in popularity in the UK.
But disposables are now banned from sale.
And this isn’t a bad thing; they’re terrible for the environment and the best part about them (the flavor) can now be had in pod vapes, thanks to bar salts vape juice.
But what exactly are bar salts and how are they different from traditional nic salts vape juices? If you’re confused about the distinction, read on…
What Are Nicotine Salts?

Before we get into why Bar Salts are better, let’s break down what you’re probably already using.
Nicotine salts (or nic salts) are made by combining regular nicotine with an acid like benzoic acid.
This combo:
- Lowers the pH
- Makes the throat hit smoother
- Speeds up nicotine absorption
This is why nic salts work great in low-powered pod kits. They’re easy on the throat even at 20mg, and they hit fast.
Ideal for staying off the cigs.
But they’re not perfect. The flavors are usually muted, the hit a little bland, and they often fall short compared to the punch of a disposable.
So, What Are Bar Salts Then?

Bar Salts are like nic salts but turbocharged.
They use the same base formulation (nicotine + acid), but they ramp up the flavor and sweetness to match that throwaway vape you used to smash through in two days.
Here’s what makes them different:
- Intense, sweet flavor like what you get from disposables
- Super smooth throat hit — even smoother than regular nic salts
- Same fast nicotine absorption
- Cost-effective — way cheaper than disposables in the long run
If you’ve switched from disposables to a pod kit and found your e-liquid just isn’t hitting right, this is why.
Regular nic salts don’t cut it anymore your taste buds are now wired for Bar Salts.
