Is anyone else able to get high off nicotine?

If I go at it a bit too heavily I actually get a bit of a body buzz with that soft floaty feeling that reminds me a bit of the oxycodone I had to take after an accident.

I am not sure if it's entirely due to nicotine because a similar 'heady' feeling can be achieved just by breathing through a straw.

Nah..I'm talking about a full body buzz. Anyone that has had to (or just wanted to) take any of the opiates should know what I mean. It's really quite a nice feeling.

Edit: I smoked for 25 years and never remembered getting it. I'm not sure if it happens now because I'd stopped nicotine for 8 years or if this allows a higher dosage than is possible with regular cigarettes.

Jaaxx, I see you are a US supplier. what is your website?

I also see you're right in Georgia.

Please tell. I couldn't find your website.

thanks

i don't think i ever got a "buzz" from smoking. i see people discussing the high and the buzz and wonder what they're talking about.
i did get exactly what you describe Nuck, when i used the freebie full strength carts i got with some kits.
from everything i've read, an apples to apples equation just won't work here. the different chemical concotions in cigarette smoke and the way it affects the brain receptors, blah, blah blah.
i think it's great if it helps people get in the ballbark, but i'm also afraid new people will use it (higher dosages) when they really don't need it.
it's your body and i'm not going to tell anyone what to do, but my goal is to keep the nic level as low as possible. if i could find a liquid with the same throat kick and flavor at 0 nic level i'd never buy nicotine laced liquid again. (help me Jaaxx!!!)

i believe Kate uses her own method which i thought was really quite ingenious and is worth mentioning in this thread. kind of like a daily allowance. keep it low until a spike is needed.

Kate, help me out here, i don't want to mess it up. lol

I took the tolerance factor into account. The reason that the first smoke of the day has a bigger impact is because of the gap since the last dose of nicotine. With smoking we get spikes and gaps where our nicotine levels drop off and tolerance reduces. We then don't need such a high dose for the same effect next time. If we have a constant, level dose we build tolerance and lose effect.

What I'm trying to do (and it's working) is to constantly vape zero or low for the habit side of things and when I get a craving I have a couple of drips of medium or high for a spike. I'm only using around 0.5ml of medium or high in total that way but can vape all day. It's more satisfying too.

Gonna try Kate's method - have ordered low and zero stuff.

It seems to make sense.
