When heated by a coil, e-liquid becomes vapor, delivering flavor and nicotine (if included) through inhalation. It comes in a wide variety of nicotine strengths and flavors, ranging from fruity and dessert-inspired to menthol and classic tobacco. You can buy e-liquid with or without nicotine, and in either <strong>freebase<\/strong> or <strong>salt nic<\/strong> form, which we\u2019ll explain below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-what%E2%80%99s-in-vape-juice-ingredients-\"><strong>What\u2019s in Vape Juice?
