Hello?! For those that didn't get it, my reference to eggplant was a joke to Steve. I really like him, we often disagree on about things but he never gets any nastier than those of us using the term ANTZ and he sticks to his beliefs come hell or high water.
The question for me is not whether it is addictive or not but do I still enjoy using it and do I plan to continue using it. I do and I do.
I prefer my juice with a bit of nic, and I'm quite addicted to the habit of "hand-to-mouth". I was asked over the weekend if I thought I would ever go completely nic-free, and I said probably not.... I will never go caffeine-free either.
I just received 2L of nic from MFS (they still have a 20% coupon good through today - APRIL2015NIC) and it was too good of a deal for me to pass. Just did some rough math, and I can easily get EIGHT LITERS of juice out of this supply (and that's mixing at 15mg/mL - I usually mix at 9mg/mL for myself, but I have buddies for whom I mix at 15.)
We just have to make our voices heard as Flamingo indicates in signature - Join CASAA, contact your representatives - not only at the Federal level, but at your State and Local levels as well.

This would be correct... It's not 100% accurate because vaping is not a 100% efficient nicotine delivery system, but it at least gives you an idea.
It's accuracy is based on the efficiency of vapor to deliver nicotine though.
There is yet to be a study showing whether non smokers who vape e-liquid with nicotine can become addicted. Delivery is everything in these scenarios...
As far fetched as it seems, some seem to think if one has never smoked a cigarette, then they can not become addicted to nicotine...
Without question the OBJECT of addiction, the nicotine the alcohol the whatever is usually a symptom of the underlying addiction. Underneath the addictions of food, nic, hording, sex, alcohol, drugs is a myriad of psychological maladies that perpetuate the addiction cycle....without question. The fingerprint metaphor is very apropos.
The list of addictions grows bigger and bigger every year.
Remember the time people were going coo-coo for beanie babies? Yeah, thats an addiction as well. Beanie Babies are still worth a lot of money even today.
This concept is obviously too difficult.
I (yes, me, the heaviest nic intake on the forum) went through a massive, very painful withdrawal when I switched to ecigs.
I (yes, me, the heaviest nic intake on the forum) can now do something that was never possible when I was on cancer sticks. I can go without and not feel addiction sickness. Not for minutes as was not possible before. But for hours.
A guy who hasn't made it through an entire sitcom episode without a cig in oh, 15 yrs... can now take my kids to the movies.
Symptoms paralleled to addiction satiation, not addiction feeding... similar to symptoms all over the forum... even posted those members who refuse to grasp the concept.

Curious how I could get these symptoms while chain vaping 36 mg/ml during my transition to vaping but not when I haven't picked up my pv in hours a year later if these are indeed nic addiction symptoms and not merely stress and psychology related.

Another HUGE factor in said "difficult" concept. I've had enough nic from patches and gum injected into my system to take out a small herd of cattle...
And it was...
Completely useless...
Yeah... it's solely the nic addiction... right...

I really believe that Nicotine dependence is tied to the age at which you started smoking/using nicotine. I read a study that nicotine when introduced to a developing brain dramatically increases the amount of receptors in the person's brain. I believe it honestly. My first hit of nicotine was at age 15, experimenting with it through highschool. Then I picked up smoking in college, going straight to a PAD habit! I really think the age I started is why I am so dependent on nicotine (ripe ol' age of 19. lol). This would also explain why Alzheimer patients who never smoked don't have to deal with the withdrawal symptoms associated with nicotine. They just don't have nearly as many receptors as I do. Hell, I can get a head rush dripping 1.5mg!
