It’s no wonder nicotine salt e liquids – or nic salt e liquids as they’re commonly known – have become all the rage in recent years.
We won’t go on about their myriad of benefits, because you probably already know what they are. But it’s safe to say you’re spoilt for choice if you’re looking for that smooth throat hit and enhanced vaping experience. However, for some people this huge amount of choice is a problem!
If you’re partial to a nic salt e liquid and don’t know which one(s) to buy next, you’ve come to the right place.
We’ve chosen the top ten nic salt e liquids on the market from a host of leading brands.

“This e liquid helped me quit smoking instantly, and it always tastes as good as the first time I tried it. I've been smoke-free for nearly two years thanks to this vape fluid."

Vampire Vape is a brand we’ve covered extensively across other articles and is one of the quintessential names in vaping. So where better to start than with its Heisenberg nic salt e liquid?
It has a five-star rating from more than 20 reviews on our website, so you know it’s of the highest quality.
It’s a sweet, cool fruity blend that tastes of mixed berries and has a cooling menthol undertone on the exhale to refresh your palate. All in all, it’s a super smooth vape produced by some of the world’s best flavourists.
As with most of our picks in this article, the Heisenberg nic salt e liquid comes in a 50:50 VG-to-PG ratio. This ratio gives you the perfect mix of flavour, cloud production, and throat hit and is ideal for mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices such as pod systems and vape pens.
This e liquid is available in strengths of 10mg and 20mg – but don’t worry about the throat hit being overpowering due to the high strength of nicotine, as nicotine salts aren’t as harsh on the throat as freebase nicotine (as we explained in the introduction).
The fact that this e liquid contains nicotine salt means that it still provides a smooth throat hit, despite the nicotine content.

Dinner Lady is another brand we feature a lot in our articles, and with good reason. Since its establishment in 2016, the brand has won more than 50 international awards, and its products are distributed in more than 100 countries.
It's notorious for its dessert vape juice flavours like Lemon Tart, a bold but brilliant blend inspired by the classic pastry pudding.
This nic salt e liquid tastes like buttery pie crust on the inhale and lemon curd on the exhale. It’s rich, distinctive, and authentic, providing the luxurious Dinner Lady experience that's famous worldwide.
When you taste this authentic vape juice for yourself, you might remember the school dinners you enjoyed as a child — that is, if you were lucky enough to eat these kinds of desserts at school!
This e liquid is for the nostalgists and those with a sweet tooth. And, if the reviews are anything to go by, once you try this, you'll love it, too.
To learn more about Lemon Tart, check out this review – but maybe don’t watch it if you’re in earshot of children as the language is quite fruity (pardon the pun).

User review:
"This e liquid is a mastery of complex fruit flavours. The initial taste is an authentic pineapple, followed by hints of mango and a sharp lime kick. The acidic notes on both inhale and exhale make this juice more realistic than other juices of a similar flavour profile. Ohm Boy has smashed it out the park yet again!"
Why you should buy it:
Ohm Boy was established in late 2017, and it’s come a long way in a short time. It's launched three ‘volumes’ of flavours and become an award-winning brand among other achievements. Not too shabby.
The brand’s Pineapple, Mango & Lime nic salt e liquid is part of its Volume II (Botanics) range of fruit pairings and demonstrates its expertise in this area.
Put simply — if you like exotic or tropical vapes, you need to purchase this e liquid.
The tangy sweetness from the pineapple, soft juiciness from the mango, and mellow zestiness from the lime merge to create a comprehensive fruity vape.
The pineapple and mango are palpable on the inhale, while the lime takes centre stage on the exhale. It’s simultaneously subtle and sharp.
This e liquid is the complete embodiment of summer and perfect for all-day vaping if this is your preference.
It also comes in a wider range of nicotine strengths than other inclusions in our article. If you’re not a heavy smoker and prefer lower doses of nicotine, this e liquid may be best suited to you.
You should also note that this is the only e liquid in our article with a higher proportion of Vegetable Glycerine (VG) than Propylene Glycol. If you want a sweeter taste, greater cloud production, and smoother throat hit, we recommend going for an e liquid with a higher quantity of VG.
Please note: If you decide to buy this e liquid, you’ll need to have a kit containing sub-ohm coils that’s capable of handling liquids with a high VG concentration.

User review:
“The caramel flavour is nice and sweet and is the perfect accompaniment to the tobacco undertones. I will be buying this e liquid again.”
Why you should buy it:
Yorkshire-based Doozy Vape Co. is widely recognised as a global, premium e liquid brand, and its Caramel Tobacco nic salt e liquid features in various ‘best of’ articles. So, naturally, it’s included in ours!
If you’re a smoker, you’ll appreciate its familiar taste, but it comes with a twist as it’s engulfed by rich, syrupy caramel. (This carefully conceived blend is made possible by the high-quality ingredients which you’ll find in all Doozy products.)
This e liquid is another one for vapers who have a sweet tooth. Reviewers have commented on its creamy aftertaste, as well as its smoky undertones and smooth throat hit.
To get the most out of it, you should pair it with mouth-to-lung devices and starter vape kits.

“This e liquid has a mind-blowing taste. It’s got a sour, tangy, and sweet flavour, and the nicotine hit is nice but doesn’t feel too strong. It’s one of the best e liquids I’ve tried.”
Why you should buy it:
Preston brand Just Juice was founded in 2017 by friends and former smokers Carlos and Andy. Since then, the duo have won countless awards for their range of fruity e-liquids formulated from the best ingredients.
Blood Orange, Citrus & Guava encompasses everything the brand represents — boldness, innovation, and premium quality. It’s ideal for people who — like Carlos and Andy — are smokers making the transition to vaping.
This is an e liquid for the more adventurous vapers who like their tropical and zesty flavours. There’s a real Mediterranean feel to it.
You’ll get this vibe the moment you lay eyes on it, thanks to the bottle’s unique, striking red design.
However, it's slightly different from other tropical e liquids because it has such a contrasting flavour profile. You'd think it shouldn't work, but boy does it work!
The juiciness of the blood orange is the perfect accompaniment to the citrus's zest, and the guava's lightness enriches this fresh, sweet juice.
This is perhaps the most unorthodox e liquid in our article. But if it’s a ‘mind-blowing’ vape you’re after (to quote the above reviewer), then Just Juice’s masterpiece concoction is just the ticket.

“This is a really convincing flavour – it’s not overly sweet and it’s perfect for consistent vaping. It also goes particularly well with a cup of tea or coffee, which is good for anyone trying to kick that first cigarette of the morning.”
Why you should buy it:
There’s something about British-made e liquids and classic puddings, isn’t there? We’ve already featured Lemon Tart from Dinner Lady, and now it’s time to look at Cherry Bakewell from Double Drip.
Double Drip e liquids are produced by Vapour Labs, a subsidiary of the esteemed brand Vapouriz, so you can trust Cherry Bakewell to be the best in class.
It tastes just like the real thing, but without the calories.
When you inhale it, you'll detect the tangy, slightly sour raspberry jam, and prominent notes of rich cherry.
When you exhale, you’ll taste the crisp, buttery pastry, which gives this e liquid its smoothness, and marzipan icing sugar for an extra sweet finish. It’s the complete package.
Perfect for vaping at any time of day, Cherry Bakewell is a consistent e liquid that’ll satisfy your cravings.

User review:
“This is, by far, the nicest blueberry sour raspberry e liquid I’ve tried. The flavours hit your taste buds straight away — it’s not too sour or too fruity. The balance is spot on.”
Why you should buy it:
If you explore our website, or happen to have to read any of our other blogs, you’ll know that Riot Squad is a brand we like — a lot. And with good reason. We like it so much, we’ve featured two of its e liquids in this article.
Based in Milton Keynes, Riot Squad has created some incredible e liquids over the years, one of which is Blueberry Sour Raspberry — part of its signature Bar EDTN series.
This e liquid is our best-selling nic salt from Riot Squad and provides the perfect blend of richness and tanginess.
You’ll detect juicy blueberry on the inhale and candied sour raspberry on the exhale.
This balance of flavours gives you a smooth, satisfying experience which exemplifies why Riot Squad is such a celebrated name.
And keep your eyes peeled for the brand, because you’ll come across it again a bit further down.

“I tried this because I loved the Elf Bar cotton candy flavour. It’s a 100% match and tastes the same. I’d highly recommend it.”
Why you should buy it:
Elfliq, the official range of nic salt e liquids by Elf Bar, has gone down a storm since its launch.
And given that the Cotton Candy Ice e liquid is one of our ten best-selling Elfliq flavours, featuring it in our article is a no-brainer.
If you have a sweet tooth and enjoyed candy floss as a kid (or maybe still enjoy it as an adult!), you’ll love this one.
A unique concoction of fluffy cotton candy and icy menthol, it delivers a vaping experience that's both nostalgic and invigorating.
You’ll detect the cotton candy on the inhale, and a refreshing burst of menthol on the exhale. It’s a fairground treat with a crisp twist.
Some vapers may see this as an unlikely combination, but it makes Cotton Candy Ice what it is. And it keeps your taste buds on their toes at all times!

User review:
“Tropical Fury is one of the nicest nic salt e liquids that I’ve tried. I wasn’t a fan of pineapple until now, but the combination of pineapple on the inhale and mango on the exhale works a treat. It’s a great product with a great taste and brilliant value for money.”
Why you should buy it:
This e liquid is a wildcard inclusion as it’s a hybrid salt containing 50% freebase nicotine and 50% salt nicotine. But if you don’t mind this and can handle an e liquid with a slightly stronger, long-lasting throat hit than pure nic salt e liquids, then read on.
Riot Squad is another brand we often write about. Based in Milton Keynes, it sells to more than 80 countries worldwide and is renowned for its explosively-flavoured products.
One of these products is Tropical Fury, as you can deduce from its name – but what makes this e liquid so ‘furious’?
There’s the sharp pineapple, for one, which is immediately detectable and is backed up by sweet mango and papaya on the inhale. You’ll also detect hints of orange and hints of fizz when you exhale; the orange gives this e liquid the optimal balance of zest, sweetness, and refreshing citrus.
Finally, this e liquid is one of only three in this article that’s available in a nicotine strength of 5mg. So, if you’re either a lighter smoker or just prefer a lower nicotine concentration, this may be the best vape juice for you.

User review:
“This vape is smooth and refreshing, and it’s the only liquid that has successfully kept me smoke-free for more than two weeks. I think this is my new favourite e liquid!”
Why you should buy it:
The final product to feature in our article is an anomaly, as it’s the only raspberry-flavoured nic salt e liquid we’ve featured.
Bar Juice 5000 has aimed to recreate the nation’s favourite popular disposable vapes with its products, including the Blue Razz Lemonade.
Sugary-sweet blue raspberry and fizzy lemonade combine to great effect here, and there’s also a hint of blueberry.
And if you’re wondering where the ‘5000’ in Bar Juice 5000 comes from, this signifies the approximate number of puffs you get from a 10ml bottle. We think you’ll agree, this is a pretty sweet deal (pun intended).
