    Default Home Test for Nicotine Blood Levels ???

    Back to the "age old" question of "how much nicotine am I getting from my ecig vs my analog" .......

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a home style test that will give you a blood level of nicotine ??? I am a nurse and will research this myself, but if anyone happens to know of such a test, let me know and I won't waste my time.

    FYI, ther is a "rapid home test" that will show IF you have nicotine in you blood. It's sort of like a drug test and can be purchased for about $10 in the drugstore. But, it only shows IF you have nicotine.....and not HOW HIGH the nicotine level is.

    This would be an interesting test to perform and would answer the elusive questions about ecig vs analog comprability.

    THanks

    Forget this silly question already. It's been answered many times.

    Did you worry smoking analogs? Why not?

    They manufacture ejuice in a large variety of strengths. Simply find the one that suits you and enjoy.

    I agree with you Kreel. Why is it that when people are smoking cancer causing analogs there is no rush to measure nicotine, etc but with PV's there is all this concern?

    I really don't understand the negative replies here. Most people use e-cigs as a way to be healthier, so what is so wrong about someone wanting to monitor their use of the only bad thing in the e-cig?

    I'm not looking to start a debate on nicotine and health, I know in monitored amounts it is shown to have no ill effects. But I truly believe that you guys are being rude over an extremely innocent request.

    It's not about being rude at all. It's about anyone who was an analog smoker worrying about the amount of nicotine that they need. Nicotine wears off so fast, that to actually OD on the levels available to us, you would have to chuff on two screwdrivers and a GG simultaneously non-stop for over an hour. Now how stupid is that?

    There are enough noobs that frequent this board that might actually believe that there is a danger of killing themselves vaping because of some innocent sounding thread like this one dealing in fear mongering.

    Give this subject a rest while you go and re-read the dozens of others just like it. This topic simply insults the intelligence of those that realize it's a joke.

    NOTE: to Joann: no disrespect was intended. Please continue to ask any question you want. It's just that we have seen soooooooooo many "is vaping safe?" posts from noobs that considering that they have smoked for years, it just gets old and defies logic to many of us. And then it just leads to more "scary" posts and on and on and on.............

    I completely see where you guys are coming from, but I think facts and figures work a lot better than comparing to analogs.

    When it comes down to it, our best bet in regards to keeping vaping legal is to separate ourselves as far from the generic "smoker" group as we can, and to inform others at every possible opportunity.

    Separate? That's not an option. They are as addicted to nicotine as we are. Smoking is legal, hence no need to separate from them at all.

    Too much hysteria is being promulgated. Nicotine has already been deemed non-carcinogenous. PG has been deemed harmless. Why would they ban vaping? Simply because we are enjoying ourselves in a safe way?...or are you trying to make it look somehow UNSAFE?

    Before you go sparking up the ban-wagon again, just wait and see what happens. Surely you have other questions about vaping that you can concentrate on. This subject has been laid to rest many times already.

    Perhaps the OP wasnt necessarily afraid or concerned about their nicotine levels, but rather curious.

    I have read many articles that "theorize" that on a drag per drag basis the PV delivers less Nic than analogues.

    Seeing how JoAnnas post count is only 50, and she specifically said in her post that this was simply for curiosity and comparibility measures.... I think the responses she received could turn off a new member to asking queestions in an open forum.

    No where in her post did she say she was concerned, scared of ecigs killing her, or questioning the safety of her ecig.

    Just my personal opinion.
