Okay, so I’ve been getting into vaping lately, and a buddy of mine recommended I check out these Elf Bar things. He kept going on about how smooth they are and how they use something called “salt nic.” Honestly, I didn’t really know what that meant, so I decided to do a little digging and try them out myself.
First, I went online to get a basic understanding. What I found out is that these Elf Bars are pre-filled with e-liquid, and that e-liquid uses nicotine salts. Apparently, nicotine salt is supposed to give you a smoother hit compared to the regular “freebase” nicotine that’s been used in other stuff. They say it’s easier on the throat, especially if you’re just quitting cigarettes like I am.
I picked up a couple of different flavors from a local vape shop. They come in these little disposable devices, so there’s no messing around with refilling or charging. You just open the package and start puffing. It is simple.
My first impression? My buddy was right. These things are smooth. I used to cough a lot when I first tried vaping, but with the Elf Bar, I didn’t have that problem at all. The nicotine salt really does make a difference.
Experimenting with Flavors
- I tried the strawberry banana flavor first. It was pretty good, kind of sweet but not too overpowering.
- Then I moved on to the blue razz lemonade. This one was a bit more tart, which I liked. I think this is my favorite flavor.
Each Elf Bar is supposed to have about 2ml of this e-liquid, and from what I read, that’s roughly equivalent to 20mg of nicotine. So, it’s definitely got a kick, but it’s not harsh.
Observations
The thing I noticed most is how quickly the nicotine seemed to hit. With other vapes, it took a few minutes to feel anything, but with the Elf Bar, I felt it almost instantly. From my research, I saw that nic salts absorb into your bloodstream faster, so that explains it.
I also found that I didn’t need to puff on it as much. Just a few draws and I was good. It’s like they designed it to be efficient or something.
Now, I’ve only been using these for a few weeks, so I can’t say anything about the long-term effects, but so far, my experience has been positive. And it is easy for someone like me who just starts vaping. I’ve heard some people talk about potential health concerns with vaping in general, like respiratory issues or battery problems, so I’m keeping an eye out for that.
Overall, I’d say if you’re curious about nicotine salt e-liquids or just looking for a smooth vaping experience, the Elf Bar is worth checking out. Just remember to be responsible and do your research, you know? Vaping is not totally harmless.
