Freebase Nicotine E-Liquids

Freebase e liquid is the familiar, no-surprises choice for anyone filling their own pod kit or tank. This shelf holds IVG Original 50:50 and Ohm Brew Core 50/50 in 10ml bottles, with strengths from 3mg to 18mg across menthol, fruit, candy and tobacco flavours. Choose by strength first, then flavour.

Choosing your freebase bottle

You have two decisions to make here: how much nicotine, and which flavour. Strength comes first, because it changes how every bottle feels. The range starts at 3mg and runs to 12mg on IVG Original, and up to 18mg on Ohm Brew Core. Flavour comes second and is the easy part: iced fruit, sweets, aniseed blends, plain menthol and a classic tobacco are all on the shelf, in 10ml bottles.

First-timers tend to grab the highest number on the label and then find 18mg sharper than they expected. Freebase has a more pronounced hit than a salt of the same strength. If you are unsure, step down one strength from where you think you want to be. You can always go up next time.

  • Want a lighter touch? Look at 3mg or 6mg.
  • Want something firmer? Go for 12mg, or 18mg on the Ohm Brew Core bottles.
  • Want to keep it simple? Pick a flavour you already know you enjoy.

Freebase is the original form of nicotine used in e-liquid, the one vapers were using before salts existed. That is why you will still hear it called old style vape liquid. Nicotine is addictive, and this range is for adults who already use it.

Which one is for you

Pick the strength

  • 3mg or 6mg: for steady, frequent vaping where you want nicotine in the background.
  • 12mg: the one to try if you are making the switch from cigarettes and want something noticeable. Every bottle here offers it.
  • 18mg: the top of the shelf, on the Ohm Brew Core bottles only. It suits experienced nicotine users who know they want it.

If you have never used nicotine, this is not the place to start. Adults who do not already use nicotine should not take it up.

Check the base against your device

Almost every bottle is a 50/50 mix of VG and PG. Two Ohm Brew Core flavours, Blue Slush and Raspberry Sorbet, are written as 50VG/50PG, which is the same split. That balance is the usual match for pod kits and refillable pod kits. If your device maker recommends something different, follow that.

Pick the flavour family

IVG Original leans icy and fruity: Frozen Cherries, Tropical Ice, Forrest Berries Ice and Ice Menthol, with Sour Green Apple and Blue Raspberry for something sharper or sweeter.

Ohm Brew Core goes sweeter and stranger: Blueberry Bubble, Raspberry Sorbet, Mrs Red and Mr Blue, plus Tobacco Ziggicig for a plain classic.

If you cannot decide, pick the family you already like rather than something new.

When a nic salt suits better

Freebase and salts are different formulations, so the same strength does not feel identical. If your device is built around salts, or you want a gentler feel at a higher strength, browse our nic salts. If you want larger bottles with lower nicotine, see shortfills.

Freebase FAQs

What is freebase nicotine?

It is nicotine in its original, unmodified form, as used in e-liquid from the early days of vaping. It is mixed into a PG and VG base. Every bottle on this page uses it. Compared with a salt of the same strength, freebase gives a more pronounced hit.

Is freebase vape juice any different from e-liquid?

No. Freebase vape juice is simply e-liquid made with freebase nicotine. The term tells you the type of nicotine in the bottle, which matters because nic salts feel different at the same strength. Both are sold in a PG and VG base.

Why do some people call it old style vape liquid?

Freebase was the standard way to put nicotine in e-liquid before salts arrived, so some vapers use that label for it. It is the same product described here: familiar, predictable and easy to judge by strength alone.

Which strengths can I buy, and where is 18mg?

Strengths run from 3mg to 18mg. The IVG Original bottles come in 3mg, 6mg and 12mg. The Ohm Brew Core bottles add 18mg on top. All are 10ml. Check the product page for the strength you want before you order.

Which strength should I pick if I am switching from cigarettes?

12mg is the usual place to begin, and it is available on every bottle here. If it feels too sharp, drop to 6mg next time. Go to 18mg only if you are an experienced nicotine user and 12mg leaves you wanting more.

Should I buy freebase or nic salts?

Match it to your device. If it is built around salts, use salts. If you want the classic, more pronounced hit, or you are using a 50/50 base, freebase is the straightforward pick. Our nic salts range sits one click away if you want to look.

18+ For adults only. Nicotine is an addictive substance. We check age at checkout.
