Nic Salt E Juice is kinda new, but there already plenty of options out there for vapers that are chasing a bigger hit. Here’s my pick of the best Nic Salt brands I’ve vaped to date.

Nic Salt E Juice is a new kind of E Juice that is growing in popularity.

The USP of Nic Salt juice is that it is WAY stronger with respect to nicotine.

And this means, theoretically, that you vape less as you get more of a cigarette-style hit when vaping it.

Nic Salt E Juice was first used inside the JUUL; PAX labs created it as a means to deliver a more cigarette-like hit for its now-immensely-popular JUUL device.

The nature of this juice, however, means that it is only intended for use inside pod mod systems and MTL tanks like the Kayfun 5.

Why?

Simple: it’ll blow your socks off if you sub-ohm vape an E Juice with 25MG of nicotine in it.

Trust me, you don’t want to do this.

I accidentally put some in my RDA a while back and, well… it wasn’t pleasant.

I’m talking sweating, heart palpitations, fear… nothing good, basically.

Nic Salts, Pod Mod Vapes & MTL Vape Tanks

Pod Mod vapes like the awesome SMOANT S8 Pod, my personal favourite right now, and the JUUL, are where Nic Salts vape juice come into their own.

These systems are not sub ohm setups; instead, they utilise an MTL style of vaping which means less vapor, plenty of flavor, and, when combined with Nic Salts, a very solid hit.

If you’re rocking a pod mod device and are running standard, high-VG juice in it, chances are you’re not really feeling it.

Bang some Nic Salts in there, and you’ll know exactly what you’ve been missing.

This is why pod mod systems have small batteries – you’re not meant to chain vape them.

They’re designed for use with Nic Salts E Juice, whereby you take fewer hits but are still satisfied, thanks to the higher concentration of nicotine.

The Best Nic Salts Brands – My Personal Favourites Right Now!

#1) Yami Vapor’s Yami Salts

Yami Salt AKA My Go-To Nic Salt E Juice

Simple: Yami Salt by Yami Vapor.

It is freakin’ DELISH.

There are three flavors – Taruto, JUUSU, Icy Trio – and they’re all proper bangin’ when it comes to flavor.

Yami is VERY popular. I don’t ever recall seeing an entire range of E Juice that ALL had five-star reviews.

But Yami has done this. This was also the main reason I decided to try it.

It wasn’t a let down. It lived up to the hype and is now one of my all-time favorite E Juices line ups.

If you only try one Nic Salt brand in 2018, make sure it’s Yami Salt – it is unbelievably good stuff!

#2) The Milkman Salt

Another great Nic Salt E Juice option is The Milkman’s Nic Salt range.

Like Yami Salt, this one is another flavor banger. There’s a range of flavors available, though my favourite so far has to be Crumbleberry.

Close Second? Damn Straight! Milkman’s Salt Range is Very, VERY Good!

#3) Naked 100 Nic Salts E Juice

Another great option, from another AWESOME E Juice company.

I’m a HUGE fan of Naked 100’s normal range of E Juice. They do a lot of flavors and many of them are very tasty.

Well, Naked 100 now does a Nic Salts line too, and they’re well worth your time.

My favorite? Probably Lava Flow – it’s a pretty complex vape, very tropical. You have strawberries, coconut, and juicy pineapples competing for your taste buds.

Definitely an ALL-DAY vape, this one.

Best Place To Buy Nic Salts E Juice

I tend to get most of my Nic Salt E Juice via VaporDNA, as they have a pretty sizeable range.

I’m still kinda new to this whole Nic Salts thing, so I’ve only really dipped my toe into what’s out there.

But for right now, I’d say Yami Salt is easily the best I’ve tried so far.

It tastes utterly superb inside my Kayfun 5 as well as my SMOANT S8 Pod.

It’s also worth checking out our vape mods and vape tanks reviews section on the site – there are TONS of product reviews in there.

Wotofo is EASILY one of my favourite tank makers in operation right now. It makes some proper bangin’ rebuildable tanks. And below you’ll find my picks for the best Wotofo tanks right now

The first Wotofo tank I ever fell head over heels in love with was the Wotofo Lush Plus RDA.

If you read VapeBeat regularly, you’ll know that I am a HUGE fan of this RDA.

I still even use it.

And the reason is simple: for flavor, it is almost unbeatable – even today, 2+ years after its release.

This is one of the tanks that got me off sub ohm tanks for good. It showed me that RDAs were better, easier to live with, and delivered flavor unlike anything else.

So, yeah… I got a lot of love for Wotofo.

I’ve added a bunch more Wotofo tanks to my arsenal in the past couple of years. And what follows is a break down of what I think are the best Wotofo tanks you can buy right now.

I’m using images from our extended #vapefam on Instagram throughout this article. The reason? To help our fellow vapers get more exposure for their accounts.

Why You Should Care About Wotofo Tanks

Three reasons, really:

• They’re cheap – like WAY cheaper than most RDA/RTA brands
• They’re flavor bangers – seriously, Wotofo engineers are like freakin’ wizards in this context.
• They’re easy to use – I’ve never had any issues with any of my Wotofo tanks. Ever. They’re easy to setup and they last.

And these are my current recommendations for Wotofo tanks, old and new.

If you’re in the market for a new RDA or RTA tank, and you don’t have a Wotofo one yet, I hope you join the party after reading this!

Best Wotofo RDAs

Wotofo Nudge RDA

The Wotofo Nudge RDA is like the second coming of the Lush Plus RDA, meaning it is ALL about flavor.

A post shared by Luca Junior Varone (@luca.vape__72) on May 14, 2018 at 1:36am PDT

And, boy, does this thing deliver in that department.

If flavor’s your thang, then you need the Nudge RDA in your life.

It is one of the biggest flavor-chuckin’ RDA tanks around right now. Period.

Why You’d Buy This Tank?

You Like Flavor By The BOAT-LOAD

You Love A Simple Deck

You Also Want An RDA That Squonks

Wotofo Recurve RDA

The Recurve, like the Nudge, is another power-player when it comes to flavor and overall performance.

And it was created by YouTube legend Mike Vapes – be sure to follow his Instagram below!

Reviews for this RDA were extremely positive. And they were all true. This RDA is brilliant in almost every respect.

Though it is at its strongest when used as a squonk RDA.

A post shared by Mike Vapes (@mikevapes1) on May 14, 2018 at 12:43pm PDT

I can’t pick a winner between the Recurve and the Nudge, so I guess it all depends on which one you like the look of better.

Or whether you’re a squonker or not.

The Recurve is a single coil RDA and it’s definitely A LOT busier in the design department… but they’re both thoroughly excellent.

If you’re smart, you’d get both like I did 😉

Why You’d Buy This RDA

Again, MASSIVE Flavor
You Like Single Coil RDAs
Deep-Ass Juice Wells
Excellent Squonk Performance (Never Leaks)

Best Wotofo RTAs

RTA tanks can be tricky to wick and setup. But Wotofo’s RTA tanks are not like this.

I’ve only included two here, as I think these are the best options right now.

Both deliver MASSIVE performance and excellent flavor. But they’re also super-simple to setup and live with.

I love both of these RTA tanks equally, so, as with the Nudge and the Recurve, it’s kind of impossible to say which is the best.

It’s like comparing a Metallica to Pantera.

You essentially NEED both in your life, and choosing just one will result in nothing but disappointment.

Wotofo Serpent RTA

Suck My Mod is one of the best YouTubers in the business. Next to Grim Green, I’d say he’s probably my favorite.

And SMM designed this RTA with Wotofo, and the man has outdone himself.

A post shared by Sergey Stetsura (@s_stetsura_s) on Jun 24, 2017 at 2:26pm PDT

Not only is the Wotofo Serpent RTA a dream to build on, wick, and prime. But it is also SUPER cheap – around $20-$24.

The flavor, clouds, design and finish, for this price point, is flawless.

Chuck in the fact that it NEVER leaks and you got yourself a right little banger.

Why You’d Buy This Tank

Flavor. You Can’t Get Enough of The Stuff
You Want A Reliable, Easy To Use RTA
You HATE Leaks (This One Doesn’t Leak)
You Want MASSIVE Value For Money

Wotofo TROLL RTA

The TROLL RTA is now kinda a classic RTA. Loved by many, the TROLL RTA makes it onto this list for a few reasons:

• The flavor it kicks out is IMMENSE
• Like the Serpent, it’s simple to build on.
• And it kicks out excellent flavor across a range of wattages, from low (50-60W) to high (100-150W)

A post shared by @ripper.ba on Feb 21, 2018 at 12:39pm PST

The only real downside? You can’t replace the drip tip. Other than that this is one flawless RTA that is well deserving of a place in your tank collection.

Why You’d Buy This Tank

You Want BIG Flavor, Regardless of Wattage
You Want An Easy-To-Build RTA
You Like BIG-ASS Clouds

Something’s afoot in the vape market, and I really don’t like the way it looks… I think the FDA flavor ban is just the tip of the iceberg – a move to pave the way for a Big Tobacco take over

You know you live in a bat-shit crazy world when a handful of suits can label E Juice a tobacco product when there is ZERO tobacco in it – or anywhere near it.

Think about that for a second: it’d be like calling a cat a dog just because it has four legs and a tail.

It’s INSANE.

And we now know why the FDA was so keen on doing this – so it could lump E Juice into its flavored tobacco bans which are now coming into effect.

I think Nietzsche summed up this sorry state of affairs best when he said:

“INSANITY IN INDIVIDUALS IS SOMETHING RARE – BUT IN GROUPS, PARTIES, NATIONS, AND EPOCHS, IT IS THE RULE.”

So… what can YOU do to help in this fight? New York State is up next, and if you vape – which you do because you’re reading this – you NEED to pitch in and help.

Sadly, a lot of vapers didn’t even know about the San Francisco vote.

Why?

Simple: advertising is banned when associated with vaping (as it’s wrongly labeled as tobacco).

And this makes it hard to get the word out.

Demand them to support healthier alternatives to smoking, not BAN them!

The FDA comment site is still live, so PLEASE make sure you submit a note, stating your support of vaping and its importance as a harm-reduction tool.

Tell them to follow Public Health England’s lead and SUPPORT vaping.

FDA Flavor Ban, Closed Pod Systems & Big Tobacco: The Unholy Trinity

There is a dark, malevolent presence hanging of the vape market right now.

I call it the Unholy Trinity.

And it’s end goal is the complete destruction of what we now have.

Grab your tinfoil hat, we’re about to get very left field.

I’ve been watching recent developments very closely.

The FDA is poised to ban flavored E Juice.

Big tobacco is making a lot of moves towards “vaping” products.

And JUUL is constantly in the headlines.

This unholy trinity of events that are now taking place indicates to me that plans are afoot to systematically destroy the vape market from the inside out.

And it all starts with flavored E Juice. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

I know, I know – this all sounds very “Infowars”… but stay with me.

FDA Plan To Kill Vaping

This is essentially what I think is going on behind closed doors right now.

• The FDA, in cahoots with Big Pharma and Big Tobacco, is attempting to systematically rip apart the independent vaping market.
• First, it came after the hardware (deeming regulations), now it’s coming after flavoured E Juice.
• If all goes to plan, all we’ll have left is tobacco and menthol – just like cigarettes.

And guess who’s limbering up to enter the vaping space? Yep: pretty much every major tobacco company.

They know they can’t compete with current brands, so rather than do this they’re effectively taking these brands out.

And they’re doing it through their stooges in Washington and the FDA.

Think I’m crazy? Just look at what Monsanto has managed to achieve by doing this very thing during the past 1o years.

Big Tobacco STILL Making Record Profits

Vaping is helping to reduce the number of smokers in the US and UK.

But the fight is far from over. As you can see below, Big Tobacco is still making A LOT of money.

The Rise of Closed, Pod Based Vaping Devices

We now live in a world where pod system vapes like the JUUL are immensely popular.

These pods are closed systems.

You have to buy the pods from the device’s maker.

These closed systems are used because they’re immensely profitable.

It keeps consumers in your ecosystem.

Freedom of choice is limited by the supplier, and the price is what the supplier wants it to be.

And I wonder who’d really dig this kind of business model?

Yep, again: Big Tobacco.

The Grand Plan

This is what I think Big Tobacco wants to happen:

• Destroy independent E Juice brands (flavor ban)
• Remove competition from the marketplace (expensive hardware testing processes and certification)
• Basically, Big Tobacco wants to level the playing field.

Once this is done, and the current vape market is gone, Big Tobacco can move into the market, spend billions advertising, cos you know it will be legalised then, and take over.

Big Tobacco 2.0 – Could It Actually Happen?

A lot of this isn’t official or 100% true, granted.

Most of it is me joining up the dots in a bid to discover a bigger, overarching theme.

I just can’t get this idea out of my head though.

Everything points towards a coup – a coup sponsored by Big Tobacco and instigated by its buddies at the FDA.

And make no mistake: Big Tobacco has the money and resources to PROVE that its vaping products are safe (something ALL vape brands have to do by 2022).

It will also use this money to ensure that advertising regulations are removed and this, along with the removal of competition, will allow Big Tobacco’s vape products to dominate.

And you’ll only be able to get tobacco and menthol flavor vape juice as well – just like the good ‘ol days!

The writing’s on the wall guys.

If you want to keep vaping independent and away from Big Tobacco, you have to act now.

I’ve included a bunch of links below that you can follow to make the case for vaping and stop this from happening.

Best 26650 mod – if you’re after a solid, reliable, WATERPROOF, 26650 mod, I can 100% recommend this one – it’s a freakin’ BEAST

I’ve used a few 26650 mods in my time, and the bad ones FAR outweigh the good ones.

I used the Vaporesso Nebula for a good six months before it crapped out on me. And after that, well… I kinda just went back to 18650 mods.

But then I got the GeekVape AEGIS through in the post…

This mod is incredible. I love pretty much everything about it – including the fact that it is water, dust, and shockproof.

Yep, all the “proofs” in one mod.

It is also designed and constructed with a level of detail you don’t really see one sub-$50 mods.

GeekVape AEGIS Price

The cost of the AEGIS was the thing that shocked me the most – it’s ONLY $48!

That is very cheap. And for a mod that looks this good, and is also water, dust, and shock resistant, well…

It’s a goddamn steal!

GeekVape AEGIS Design – Like An SX Mini Mod (Only Cheaper)

The quality of the GeekVape AEGIS’s construction and design is 100% on point.

There isn’t a single wonky element to its industrial design and it’s built entirely from premium-feel material.

You can check out my full GeekVape AEGIS review for a more detailed breakdown of the mod itself.

Best Tank For An 26650 Mod?

This is an important point, as to get the most from your single, 26650 mod you’ll want a tank you can run at fairly low power.

Case in point: I run a Kayfun V5 on mine (always below 20W) and I get a solid two days from a single 26650 cell.

Bang on the Dead Rabbit RDA and turn it up to 100W and you’re looking at maybe 8-9 hours (tops).

A Good Happy Medium?

Simple: a single coil RTA like the Wotofo Serpent Mini or something similar.

You can run these at 50W and still get excellent flavor and clouds, while not completely destroying your battery life.

I’d strongly suggest you avoid high-power sub ohm tanks when using a single-celled mod.

A post shared by SvoёMesto (@svoemesto_official) on Jun 5, 2018 at 12:54pm PDT

They just require WAY too much power and this will result in sub-par battery performance.

Single cell mods, in general, are great.

But to get the most from them, you need a tank that performs at low power modes.

This is why I LOVE Kayfun tanks.

Sure, they’re expensive. But they have market-leading flavor, they never leak, and they’ll save you days of battery life and a metric TON of E Juice in the long run.

That’s it for now! I’ll add more 26650 mods as I test them.

For now, my advice, if you’re after a 26650 mod, would be to get the GeekVape AEGIS.

It is BADASS (and very cheap).

If you’re after CBDfx Coupons you’re in the right place – we have a bunch of EXCLUSIVE coupons for CBDfx, which is one of my favorite CBD retailers!

If you read VapeBeat regularly, you’ll know I’m a MASSIVE fan of CBD oil.

I use it most days inside a pod mod.

It helps with anxiety and also elevates my mood.

But unlike weed (cannabis) it DOES NOT get you high.

What it does do is make you feel awesome; it removes anxiety, makes you feel all peaceful and content.

Why CBD ROCKS!

It’s also great for PMT, headaches, migraines, aches, and pains, as well as recovering from intense exercise.

Basically, it’s a miracle supplement that is now FINALLY starting to get the props it deserves.

CBDfx Coupons

If you want to experience the benefits of CBD, the good news is we have some EXCLUSIVE coupons for CBDfx – an awesome US CBD retailer.

All you got to do is click on the links below (and use the code).

Why Use CBD? 

There are A LOT of reasons. And if you’re open-mindedand don’t mind trying new things, I think you will be pleasantly surprised by CBD oil.

I got into it as a means to combat migraines; I didn’t want to KEEP taking really strong painkillers.

CBD is a natural, organic compound, so I figured if it worked it’d be better than taking lots of pharmaceutical drugs.

It also helps with anxiety in a MASSIVE way. Ditto aches and pains, though for severe pain you will need something with THC in it – and proper cannabis is only legal in a few states.

What Does CBD Feel Like?

Nothing really; you don’t get high. Like, not even a little bit.

I find it does alter my mood, however – it just makes me feel happier and more content with things.

There is ZERO narcotic effect, so please do not confuse CBD with actually smoking/vaping cannabis.

The two couldn’t be more different; it’d be like comparing Coke Cola to cocaine!

If you’re after the best tobacco E Juice money can buy you’re in luck – I have found it (and it is STUNNINGLY good).

Tobacco E Juice is a bit weird. When you stop smoking and start vaping you discover a world of flavors – literally thousands.

But for some people, tobacco is desired.

And I get this: I loved smoking. I know how weird that sounds but I got so much enjoyment from it.

I hand-rolled my cigarettes and I always used premium, high-end tobacco. Not that store-bought crap they sell in 7/11s.

My favourite was cheery-blended tobacco. Just thinking about it now is making me want to roll a cigarette!

And while I do enjoy ALL the choice of flavors you have with vape juice, sometimes I just want that uniquely aromatic tobacco flavor.

Especially when I’m using my MTL Kayfun V5, as it’s closer to the sensation of smoking than an RDA or RTA.

What Is The Best Tobacco E Liquid Then?

I’ve vaped MANY.

And most of them were terrible. You see, getting all the nuance of tobacco’s flavor, as well as all the varieties out there, is tricky.

It requires respect and knowledge of the leaf itself, not just a generic, off the shelf tobacco flavor.

And this is what separates Black Note E Liquid from nearly everybody else.

They EXCLUSIVELY make tobacco E Juice, and they are exceptional at it. Market-leaders, basically.

What Makes Black Note The Best Tobacco E Juice?

Simple: like skilled wine makers, they SERIOUSLY take their time – and they have the production down to a fine art.

As you can see below, the level of precision and detail that goes into making the juice is just, well… phenomenal.

Black Note E Liquid: Check Out The FULL Range of Flavors

The quality of this E Liquid is unlike anything else I have vaped.

It never gunks up my coils, and the reason for this is that Black Note doesn’t use any shit in its E Juice.

It’s ALL natural.

And you can taste it when you vape the stuff; it tastes organic – like you’re actually smoking.

And the reason for this is because ALL the flavors you taste are naturally extracted from ACTUAL tobacco leafs.

My Black Note Selection (I Went For The Notebook Sample Pack)

Think all tobacco tastes the same? You’re 100% wrong. Like wine and coffee and whisky, there are MANY varieties and they all have their own profiles and nuances.

If you love tobacco, you’re going to have a blast sampling all the flavors.

As a previous tobacco snob, I was in heaven testing out these E Liquids.

Kinder To Your Coils

Black Note E Liquid won’t gunk up your coils either, so you can expect to run your coils for WAY longer.

I use this stuff exclusively in my Kayfun V5 and the experience is incredible.

Kayfun tanks are regarded as the best tanks for flavor on the planet, but it is only when you run premium E Juice through them that you TRULY understand this statement.

A post shared by SvoёMesto (@svoemesto_official) on Apr 10, 2018 at 1:48am PDT

If you favour an MTL vape and prefer tobacco, I would 100% advise that you get some Black Note E Juice and a Kayfun V5 tank.

Kayfun’s are pricey ($199.95), but the quality and flavor are outstanding.

Combine it with some Black Note E Juice and you’re in tobacco heaven.

Seriously, if you’re after the best and most natural tobacco E Juice, you need Black Note in your life.
