    Sublingual absorption of nicotine base to replace nic gum

    I find 10-15 pcs/day of 2mg nic gum along with vaping ~10ml of VG sufficient to eliminate cravings. I don't like the harshness of mixing nic base with the VG so I'm thinking of mixing 100mg nic base with equal parts of VG resulting in 50mg/ml or 2.5mg/drop (assuming 20 drops/ml) for sublingual...

    Some notes on nicotine, absorption, addictiveness and MAOIs

    Part 1 : Nicotine absorption in vaping versus smoking Some studies stated that vaping provides only about 10% of the nicotine compared to smoking - is this figure wrong? Probably, yes. While I am quite sure that many people get less nicotine than they think they do, it is surly not 10% -...

    The Nicotine Discrepancy

    Some musings on the lower than expected transfer of nicotine from e-liquid to bloodstream in comparison to smoking. While a few do claim to be able to get a similar hit with an e-cig, for many this is not the case; something approaching the same effect only being possible by upping the nic...
