Can Freebase E-Liquid Vape Differently in a Box Mod vs. Pod Mod?

 

If you’ve been considering throwing some freebase e-liquid into your pod system, it’s extremely important that you understand how this type of vape juice differs from salt nicotine e-juices. 

While nic salt vape juice is specially formulated to be compatible with a pod system, freebase juice isn’t necessarily the same.  However, today, there are plenty of pod mods that are designed to be compatible with both types so that you can switch between the two depending on how you’re feeling that day.

Before you go ahead and try your favorite freebase e-liquid with your pod mod, make sure that you know what to expect.  No matter what pod system you’re using, vaping a freebase juice with your unit is going to be quite different from vaping it with a standard sub-ohm setup.

Here are some factors that will determine this:

Device

First, we strongly suggest that you use a pod system that’s specially made to accommodate freebase vape juice.  These pod systems come with coils that allow you to get the most satisfaction out of your juice.  While it’s true that you can technically vape a freebase liquid with any pod mod device on the market, you likely won’t experience real satisfaction unless the coil in the cartridge is designed for this type of nicotine.

Flavor

No matter what you do, the flavor that you get when vaping a freebase e-juice with a pod mod isn’t going to be as strong.  That’s because pod mods just aren’t designed to enhance the flavor of juices that are made with freebase nicotine.  You’ll likely notice that the flavor is a bit more subdued and not as complex.

Cloud Production

No matter what type of e-liquid you use with a pod system, you won’t get the massive, dense clouds that you get when you’re using a sub-ohm setup.  That’s because pod mods are, by nature, low-wattage devices that require coils that have resistance levels above 1ohm.  In order to get those enormous clouds, you need a high-wattage box mod that utilizes a low-resistance coil.  While some pod mods are more conducive to thicker, more abundant vapor, you’ll never really be able to realize your cloud-chasing dreams while using a pod system.

Throat Hit

The reason why we associate pod mod systems with that powerful, pleasurable throat hit is because of nicotine salts.  If a strong throat hit is your top priority, be aware that freebase nicotine won’t give you that same level of satisfaction, even when vaped in a pod mod.  While the throat hit will still be there, it won’t be as potent.  Of course, if you aren’t a fan of strong throat hits, you’ll see this as a good thing.

Leaking

Salt nic e-liquid and freebase nic e-liquid have two different consistencies.  Pod cartridges are designed to accommodate salt nic e-liquid, which is thicker than its freebase counterpart.  That’s why some people find that their freebase nic vape juice leaks out of the cartridge of their pod mod system.  However, pod kits that’re designed to handle freebase juices are less likely to leak regardless of what type is being vaped.

Overall, It Can Be Done, But Not Nearly with the Same Results

While you can absolutely vape a freebase e-liquid while using a pod system, it’s not gonna be the same as vaping this kind liquid with the sub-ohm setups that you’re used to.
