What Are Air Factory Nic Salts?
Nicotine salts are a form of nicotine that occurs naturally in tobacco leaves. Unlike freebase nicotine — the standard form used in most e-liquids — nic salts are chemically bound with an acid (typically benzoic acid), which lowers the pH and allows for higher nicotine concentrations without the harsh throat hit that would normally make high-strength freebase juice unpleasant.
The practical result: you can vape 18mg of nicotine salt and it feels as smooth as 6mg freebase. For pod system users, former smokers, or anyone who needs quick, satisfying nicotine delivery from a compact device, nic salts are the standard choice.
Air Factory Salts are sold in 30ml bottles in 18mg and 36mg strengths. Every flavor is the same candy-forward, high-quality formulation Air Factory is known for — just reformulated for salt nicotine delivery.
Air Factory Nic Salts vs. Freebase: Key Differences
Understanding the difference helps you buy the right product for your setup:
- Nicotine strength: Air Factory Salts come in 18mg and 36mg. Air Factory 60ml freebase comes in 3mg and 6mg.
- Device compatibility: Nic salts are made for pod systems and low-wattage devices (under 20W). Freebase is made for refillable tank devices; Air Factory recommends a power level of up to 40 watts.
- Throat hit: Nic salts are smoother at all strengths. Freebase at 6mg has a noticeable throat hit; salt nic at 36mg does not.
- Nicotine absorption: Nic salts absorb into the bloodstream faster than freebase, which makes them more effective at satisfying cravings quickly — similar to a cigarette in this respect.
- Flavor intensity: Both deliver Air Factory’s signature flavor. Some vapers find nic salts feel slightly more intense due to the overall smoothness amplifying the taste experience.
Air Factory Nic Salt Flavors
Every Air Factory flavor comes in salt nicotine form. Here’s what’s available and what each one tastes like:
Blue Razz Ice
Blue Razz Ice Salts are mildly sweet and mellow blue raspberry with creamy undertones, plus a light menthol finish on the exhale. One of the most popular flavors in the entire lineup. The ice is balanced, not overpowering.
Blue Razz
Blue Razz Salts are a blast of blue raspberry: mildly sweet, mellow, with light creamy undertones. The same base as Blue Razz Ice, without the menthol.
Mystery (formerly Mix Berry)
Mystery Salts are a delicious mixture of berries and an assortment of sweet fruits to keep you guessing. This is the go-to for vapers who want something complex and crave-worthy without a single dominant flavor.
Berry Rush
Berry Rush Salts are an exotic mix of wild berries, the perfect combination of sweet and sour flavors. No ice on this one, making it the right pick for vapers who want the fruit flavor without the menthol component.
Strawberry Kiwi
Strawberry Kiwi Salts are a perfect blend of sweet strawberries, ripe kiwi, and a light hint of cream. The strawberry provides the sweetness, the kiwi keeps it from getting one-dimensional. Smooth and refreshing without being overly sweet.
Kookie Krunch
Kookie Krunch Salts taste like freshly baked vanilla crumble, with golden, buttery notes and a sweet, creamy finish. The dessert pick of the lineup.
Custard Tobacco
Custard Tobacco Salts pair full-bodied tobacco with rich custard and creamy vanilla undertones for a multi-layer experience.
Tobacco
Tobacco Salts are familiar, flavorful tobacco with complex notes — for former smokers who want a familiar base without added sweetness or fruit. Not a harsh or sharp tobacco — it’s been crafted to be mellow and satisfying for all-day use.
Menthol
Menthol Salts are a traditional menthol flavor with a fresh finish.
Mint
Mint Salts deliver the crisp, refreshing flavor of mint with a fresh finish.
Unflavored
Unflavored Salts are just PG, VG and nicotine, with no flavoring.
Which Nicotine Strength Should You Choose?
The right strength depends on how much you smoked before vaping and how often you vape throughout the day:
- 18mg: Best for light-to-moderate former smokers (less than a pack a day), and for vapers who use their pod system throughout the day at a moderate pace. Provides steady nicotine without overconsumption.
- 36mg: Best for heavy former smokers (a pack a day or more), anyone who switched from cigarettes recently, or vapers who need fast nicotine satisfaction with fewer puffs. This is the closer equivalent to a cigarette in terms of delivery speed and strength.
If you’re unsure, start with 18mg. You can always move up to 36mg if you find yourself vaping more frequently than expected to feel satisfied.
What Devices Work with Air Factory Nic Salts?
Air Factory Nic Salts are designed for pod systems and mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices running below 20 watts. They perform best in:
- Closed or open pod systems (SMOK Nord, Vaporesso XROS, Uwell Caliburn, Voopoo Drag Nano)
- MTL starter kits
- Any device using coils above 1.0 ohm resistance
Do not use nicotine salts in sub-ohm tanks or high-wattage box mods. The combination of high nicotine strength and high vapor production would deliver an uncomfortable amount of nicotine too quickly.
Why Choose Air Factory Over Other Nic Salt Brands?
There are dozens of nic salt brands on the market. Air Factory stands out for a few specific reasons: every e-liquid is manufactured in an ISO 7 certified cleanroom in Southern California, which means consistent quality control across every batch. The brand has been producing e-liquids since 2015 and has a documented track record of award-winning flavor accuracy. And unlike newer brands chasing trends, Air Factory’s flavor lineup has been refined over years of real customer feedback — these aren’t first-attempt formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Air Factory nic salts safe for sub-ohm devices?

It depends on how frequently you vape, but most pod system users get approximately 1–2 weeks out of a 30ml bottle with regular daily use.
Do Air Factory nic salts contain diacetyl?
No. All Air Factory e-liquids, including the nic salt line, are diacetyl-free and formulated with USP-grade ingredients.
Can I use Air Factory nic salts in a refillable pod?
Yes. Air Factory nic salts work in any refillable pod system that accepts standard e-liquid. Use coils above 1.0 ohm for best results.
