Saltnic LLC

Saltnic LLC is a private company that manufactures and sells nicotine salt e-liquids for the vaping industry. The company's website lists a contact phone number in Southern California, but does not specify a headquarters location or founding year. Its size and revenue are not publicly available.

The company's products are specifically formulated for use in low-wattage and pod-based vaping devices. Saltnic's product lines include various flavors such as Tropical Mango, Melon Mix, and Dry Tobacco. It also appears to co-brand some of its e-liquid products with VGOD, another company in the vaping market.

Saltnic's patent litigation history consists of defending its operations. The company has been a defendant in one tracked case and has not been a plaintiff, indicating a defensive posture. This position is typical of an operating company targeted for its use of a specific technology.

The single tracked case is VPR Brands, LP v. XL Vape LLC et al., filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Saltnic was a co-defendant alongside XL Vape and VGOD. The plaintiff, VPR Brands, alleged that the defendants' products infringed its patent on "auto-draw" or button-less vaporizer technology. In March 2022, the parties reached a settlement where the defendants collectively paid $155,000 to VPR Brands in exchange for a fully paid-up, royalty-free license to the patent.
