Convenience store, vape shop, and smoke shop owners are no doubt aware of how punishing flavor bans and vape registry laws are denying adult vapor consumers access to the devices and flavors that the vast majority prefer.

21+ adult nicotine customers will continue to seek nicotine and active ingredient products. It is just a matter of supplying them with the best alternatives. Not everyone wants to switch to pouches, which is why the adult nicotine alternative products market has heated up. Specifically, a number of outstanding Nixodine disposable vapes and rival nicotine alternative vapes have hit the market. Mi-Pod wholesale has recently added the Fifty Bar 20K Nixodine Collection to our growing collection of Nixodine vapes. 

 

21+ Adult Nicotine Vape Alternative Alternatives

The newest wave of Nixodine disposables and rival products have demonstrated how adult-friendly flavors and satisfying disposable vape performance is still possible.

While some customer education may still be needed, the biggest names are entering the fray because it is viewed as a mature market. The Lost Mary MT35K Nixodine is now available and today we will compare how one of the earlier entrants, the Kumi 6 family with NONIC, compares with the Fifty Bar 20K Nixodine. This table provides a quick overview of the hottest products on the market. 

Nixodine versus NONIC6

Nixodine has emerged a viable nicotine alternative that delivers comparable levels of satisfaction and a very similar vaping experience. It is a patented formula. Nixodine-S Salts are used in disposable vapes, while the performance of traditional e-liquids is met by the less potent Nixodine-S.

Neither NONIC6 nor Nixodine are nicotine compounds but instead provide an experience that close imitates the effects of traditional nicotine. 

 

Quick Overview: Kumi 6 NONIC6 Vapes versus the FIFTY BAR 20K

There are three Kumi 6 vapes, and they are not all equal. They range from the compact and pared down Kumi 6 to the Kumi 6 Scenic with a 4-sided screens and multi-part vape tank that is partially transparent. 
Fifty Bar enters the fray with their time-tested and wildly popular Fifty Bar 20K hardware. This US-assembled disposable vape just works and works well. It packs a punch while providing consistent and precise flavor, making it a perfect choice for Nixodine e-liquids which lack the throw hit of conventional nicotine and place a greater emphasis on the flavor formulations as a result.

Fifty Bar 20K Nixodine: Assembled in America

Fifty Bar was launched as the first American assembled disposable vape over two years with the intention of reshoring American jobs. This was before the pressure of tariffs or registry laws. Located in Thousand Oaks, CA, they provide a product specifically catered to the American palate and market. 

Utilizing the master formulators of Beard Vape Co., a legacy e-liquid manufacturer, they offer outstanding versions of the icy tropical fusions that dominate the disposable vape market and unique dessert inspired flavors that their rivals rarely even try to match. 

FIFTY BAR USA-Blended and Filled E-Liquids

The Fifty Bar 20K disposable vape has been a smash hit because it is compact, reliable, easy to use, long-lasting, and delivers a premium vaping experience. But a lot of disposable vapes on the market also fill that bill. What makes the Fifty Bar stands out are the flavors. They spend a lot of R&D effort when developing these unique flavors.

Their standards for excellence with flavor formulation meant they were never going to be the first entry into the nicotine alternative disposable vape space. Their goal was to be the best. 

FIFTY BAR Dual Mesh Coil 

At the heart of the Fifty Bar 20K is a powerful dual mesh coil. With anti-burn technology, it manages to protect the pristine flavors contained within from the first puff to the last. Always Active Boost technology simplifies the user-interface and allows for a more compact device with all the performance and functionality of larger rivals. The lack of a low-power mode means Fifty Bar can't make some of the puff count boasts of its rivals. Its solid e-liquid capacity and balanced performance will offset the lower overall number in the real world.

FIFTY BAR Grade-A 800mAH Battery

It is likely your customers have noticed that not all batteries are created equal. And nothing is worse than being left high and dry by a fast-draining battery. Fifty Bar sources only Grade-A lithium-ion batteries for the US-assembled Fifty Bar disposable vapes and offer fast, type-C USB charging functionality. 

FIFTY BAR Puff Count

Puff counts seem to be the most arbitrary of all metrics. Your best option is to check the e-liquid capacity of your disposable vape and the peak wattage and coil resistance. With Kumi for instance, their flagship Scenic has 7ml pre-filled and 15ml tank for a combined 22ml of capacity. Yet it is advertised at 50k puffs, versus the 35K puff rating of the ostensibly higher capacity Kumi Kurve that holds 28ml. The 20ml Fifty Bar 20K is rated at a conservative puff count of 20,000. 

FIFTY BAR 20K Flavors

One of the distinguishing traits of Nixodine versus nicotine is the lack of throat hit. It is a pure experience, even compared to synthetic nicotine. This stands out even more on the Fifty Bar 20K which was famous for offering an array of flavors, including a few desserts with a more authentic hit than many MTL disposables provide

• Watermelon Patch Fifty Bar 20K Nixodine
• Vanilla Custard Fifty Bar 20K Nixodine
• Strawmelon Twist Fifty Bar 20K Nixodine

Final Thoughts

The Fifty Bar is a unique player in the nicotine alternatives market, as it is US-assembled and filled with American e-liquids. This means a few more adventurous flavors, great takes on the classics, and of course that it is an American business making this excellent device. 

Both Nixodine-S Salts and NONIC6 do a solid job of providing the satisfaction necessary but the 50 strength Nixodine seems a bit more precisely calibrated. As customers are educated on these products and have a chance to sample them, they can decide if they prefer one to the other. But the overall package of the Fifty Bar 20K and Nixodine-S Salts is our pick.
