How many different types of nicotine are there?

So, nicotine itself is just one substance, but the way it’s processed and delivered creates different “types” that people talk about—like freebase nicotine, nicotine salts, synthetic nicotine, and natural leaf-derived nicotine. Each has its own vibe in terms of how smooth or strong it feels, and that’s why some people prefer one over the other. For example, nicotine salts tend to hit quicker and feel less harsh, while freebase is more traditional. Brands like Electronic Puffs actually carry products that showcase these differences, even tobacco-free nicotine pouches. So, you can see firsthand how each type offers its own experience depending on what you’re into.
