nicotrol inhaler cart.

[BrownBeer]

Hi all,
Does anyone know if I could press the juice from the nicotrol inhaler cartridges and use it for dripping?

Thanks

Nicotine is the active ingredient; inactive components of the product are menthol and a porous plug which are pharmacologically inactive. Nicotine is released when air is
inhaled through the Inhaler.

Why would you want to? See the Alternatives section for threads about the inhaler. A more common route would be to use up the inhaler liquid (in about 8 hours!) and then drip it with E-Liquid of known nicotine strength. But ... vaping with an e-cig is superior in all ways.

I have over 100 of these carts.
I thought I may be able to use them in an ecig,
or possibly as an additive to moisten ecig carts.

Interesting idea. The little piece inside the inhaler is not soft like those in e-cigs, however. Not sure how you will extract the liquid. And ... this is the biggie ... the nicotine is likely long ago evaporated from your used inhaler carts. It's quite volatile once exposed to air, which is why those tinfoil seals are plugging every unused inhaler cart. If they are new carts, you're far better off using them as intended than you are squeezing 10mg liquid for use in an e-cig.

BrownBeer- be careful- there may be components in the liquid that are significantly changed when atomized and vaporized- I don't know for sure, but if I were you, I'd probably just keep using hte nic inhalers in the approved inhaler, inbetween esmoking just to keep my nic levels up- use both, as ecigg carts I think might lose hteir nic levels rather quick while htere's still soem juice left i nthe carts- so having somethign liek the inhaler available to toke on while inhaling the Ecigg as well would help keep nic levels fairly steady, but again, be sure not to overdo it as you'd be gettign some nic still fro mthe ecigg- don't want to go overboard with hte nic.

If you want to moisten cartridges, pure Vegetable Glycerin is a much better choice I think

The carts are new.
I don't use the inhaler anymore.
I'm into the dry snuffs.
Maybe a little mixed with VG?
I'm not going to try until I'm sure it would be safe.
The best may be to give the carts to someone who will use them.
