With all the controversy crashing down on e-smoking, snus is a wonderful alternative source of nicotine in restricted smoking areas, whether manufacturing or executive office. Ditto nasal snuff in little plastic bullets.

It was miners, in fact, who kept nasal snuff alive after society's elite decided smoking tobacco was preferable to sniffing it. Deep in the mines, no one could light up, so they sniffed. Today, they'd snus too.

The fact that a mini snus portion can substitute for polyfil in a cartridge core is icing on the cake. We can use the portion the regular way, or soak it in a humectant and vaporize its nicotine for inhalation.

mart,

Are you looking for a liquid to make snus juice other than PG & VG? I believe PEG is a possibility, but it sounds like you might have a glycol intolerence too. I haven't researched PEG, just seen it referenced as of late. If memory serves me correctly glycols are broken down like alcohol so I'd assume the whole family of them are out for you. Some snus is listed with citric acid so you need to read the ingredients. As far as a liquid, honey is heavy in sugar and will carbon up an atty very quickly. Most cleaning methods don't dissolve carbon. Water isn't a problem for the PV, you will get a little steam vapor and it will carry the nic and flavor, but may flood from being to thin in viscosity.

I'll keep your situation in mind and ask some chemist friends.

Thanks for the info, I have been looking through all the kitchen cupboards for suitable liquids.

One I did think about that may be the right thickness was Aloe vera

You cannot just go through your cabinets looking for something to vape.
Many chemicals although safe for the skin are not safe to be inhaled or ingested.
You should stick to just using snus and put the PV away until you can find a professional that can help with your unique situation.
I'm sorry that I cannot help you.
