Nicokits, or nicotine shots, are the essential tool for adjusting the strength of your large-format liquids (Shortfill and Longfill) or DIY bases. These are 10ml unflavored formulations that allow you to precisely customize your vaping intensity, strictly complying with the highest international safety standards.
In our catalog, you will find a wide variety of options to ensure seamless integration without altering the flavor of your recipes. We offer everything from balanced bases to high-vapor solutions, including salt formulations for much more efficient absorption.
1. Choosing the Right Density: VG/PG Ratio
Selecting the correct ratio of Vegetable Glycerin to Propylene Glycol is vital to maintain your device's performance and prevent wicking issues:
- Balanced 50/50 (VG/PG): The standard and mandatory option for POD systems or restricted draw (MTL) atomizers. It guarantees smooth wicking while enhancing both flavor and throat hit.
- High VG Formulas (70/30 or 100% VG): Developed for thick liquids and high-power open-draw setups (Sub-ohm). They add thickness to the blend, making them the ideal choice for generating massive vapor clouds without the risk of leaking.
2. Nicotine Selection and Mixing Process
The type of compound you use will radically define the final sensation of every puff:
- Freebase Nicotine: Perfect if you are looking for a firm, traditional, and solid throat hit.
- Nicotine Salts: The best alternative for reaching higher strengths without irritating your throat, achieving almost instant satisfaction.
Vapvip Tip: The Emulsion Technique
After pouring the nic shot into your e-liquid or neutral base, it is strictly necessary to close the bottle and shake it vigorously for at least one full minute. Nicotine has a different density than flavorings, so this energetic shaking ensures proper oxygenation and a homogeneous blend, preventing harsh or uneven initial hits.
