I take it you didn't click on the links I posted Kate containing tests that quantify in six different levels. I think this could result in some pretty useful info compared to a two step test. The single test kit is under $20 and there's discounts for quantity. The more testing done the...

Fortunately that's not the case. Quantitative test kits are available as well measuring 6 varying levels of cotinine levels in the comforts of your own home. They are a little more expensive but are still quite reasonable. There are quite a few but this one here looks to be a good example of...

Well, cotinine tests wouldn't hurt anything and might even do some good with helping determine dosage levels at the very least. Only someone solely using an e-cig with no other means of nicotine intake could offer any useful information. Some of the kits I looked up on Google were less...

Yep, I'm with you guys and couldn't OD nor wait to finish vapin to have a real smoke. I just don't seem to get any nicotine at all with e-cigs. I find it hard to believe all these OD's are in fact that when the most common OD symptoms are seldom described; hiccups. More power to those with...

Thanks TBob. Yep, still snusin and snuffin quite a bit as well too. I found that with a little practice, snuff can help quell the urge to smoke, along with some healthy doses of snus of course. Some of the American Scotch snuffs in particular can give a pretty healthy dose of vitamin N...

Hey Tropical Bob, haven't been here in a while and was looking to see what the latest and greatest developments are when this last post caught my eye. We had been discussing Ruyan's 2nd Safety Report, that you had posted earlier this year, and the revision on nicotine absorption stated in...

BTW, great idea separating this thread admin, I think this is a very interesting topic. ;)

Mihai claims: 2.4 mg per smoke eh? Wow! Thats double what Newports deliver (1.1 mg), jeez, I'd think I'd be dead by now taking dozens of hits at a sitting. Hmm, now thats a headscratcher.....I wonder why they initially claimed 1/2 per e-cig, then revised it to 1/5 and the whole time it...

OK, I was a little confused when you wrote this Mihai, and this is why I questioned whether we were reading the same Ruyan report: What I read on the report was this from Ruyan: These are the values I was referring to on pg 10 of that report which are much lower than the example you...

Mihai: Thanks for the response again Mihai. Perhaps this is the case, although it seems odd to me that a company would try to sell something in reverse; telling you it has less of what you want instead of the other way around......stranger things have happened though (are we reading the...

Mihai: Yep Mihai, this ad disguised as a report illustrates that consumers are getting about 20% of the nicotine (IF 100% efficacy is achieved) that they get from a tobacco cig. Thats where, if you recall, I put the idea out that 100mg/ml would be a desirable goal for greater nic...

Cool, thought everyone else forgot about this thread. Mihai, what did you make of the second test by Ruyan that TB posted, ever get a chance to read that?

You definitely got some flavorful selections there Emp, I bet you'll be happy with most if not all of those. You might have to give it a few days to acquaint yourself with the difference in the Swedes interpretation of flavors, ie; salty and not so sweet (although a few of the ones you picked...

She's a 23 year old Severe. Thats a guestimate on her age though, as she was open-banded. I had an African too, but he (?) mysteriously died at 8. :(

Mihai: Right, I agree with that too. I don't think though that all the nicotine inhaled is absorbed either in a real cigarette or an e-cig....but I also never read the test reports that claim no nicotine is left in the exhaled vapor either. Hopefully they'll do some further testing which...
