We looked at five things that actually matter when you're choosing between salts and freebase for a premium experience: throat hit, flavor, nicotine delivery, device compatibility, and cost per session. None of these are about which is "better" in some absolute sense—they're about which fits your habits.

Throat hit is the physical sensation when you inhale, and it's a personal thing. Flavor covers both clarity and how long it lasts. Nicotine delivery is how quickly and smoothly the buzz arrives. Device compatibility is about whether your current setup can even use the liquid safely. And cost per session is about what you actually spend over a month, not just the price on the bottle.

We didn't test anything in a lab—this is based on how these two nicotine forms behave in practice, which is well documented by now. If you're new to this, think of it as a consumer guide, not a chemistry lesson.
