No, the reverse: a Health Canada trial found salt liquids kept 85% of their nicotine to freebase's 74%. The spread inside each format is the real story.
Three archived Health Canada recall notices for bottled e-liquid publish batch codes, volumes and per-flavour nicotine strengths that the brands themselves, in the material we could open, do not print where a buyer can read them.
A British house flavour its maker lists in five formats turns up in a EUR 29.90 French pod bundle. Assessed on what has actually been published — and the one number the trade report withholds.
An HSE laboratory has analysed 76 vape and vape-juice products this year and found HHC or a related compound in 28. Its clinical lead says some were sold in shops under a CBD label, and that nobody is funded to go and look.
Steeping is folklore sitting on top of a real reaction. Published work on flavour-aldehyde acetal formation puts most of the change inside a day to a week depending on the aldehyde, and a 2026 trial adds water as a second lever.
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety examined 105 vapes sold as nicotine-free and reported nicotine in 13 of them and 6-methyl nicotine in 12, per Tobacco Reporter. The label is most of what a buyer ever gets.
A Japanese-influenced salt range from a named British maker, assessed on what has actually been published about it — the format split, the flavour brief, and an evidence base of exactly one review.
A Chinese filing published in July describes a nicotine-ascorbic acid cocrystal and reports markedly better storage stability. It is a published patent application, not a granted patent and not a product — but it is the first serious alternative to freebase and salt in a decade.
Sucralose does not appear on the front of a bottle, is rarely quantified anywhere, and is the single biggest variable in how a juice tastes and how long your coil lasts.
