    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    all of those things are adverse. There is no degree to the word. It just means not the same or better. If it instantly kills you, that is adverse. And if it takes a very small amount of time to go out of your way in the gorcery store, that is adverse too. If you wanted there to be some kind...

    nicotine does not require medical intervention, because it is much safer than many other dependencies that do require medical intervention.

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    I am not trying to twist anything. A definition is meant to be very general. Its not supposed to say "adverse means that it will cause cancer". If someone is posting on ECF so habitually that it disrupts time with the wife, this would be considered adverse. This is just an example. And...

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    I love nicotine. I am certainly not ANTZ. I love vaping. But denying that I enjoy my addiction to nicotine is pointless. I am not hurting anybody. What I am doing is healthier than smoking. I enjoy my life greatly. I don't need to be ashamed that something I enjoy is addictive.

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    Its a general definition. That is exactly what is intended. All it means is that someone who is 'addicted' to something will find ways to compulsively use that something, even in situations where they have to go out of their way (adverse) in order to use it.

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    I was serious. Do you want more? If I was attending some indoor event (where there is no vaping or smoking) that lasted more than a few hours, after awhile I would start thinking about ways to sneek out so that I could enjoy some nicotine. Even if it would cause me to miss part of the indoor...

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    "Dependency" is a term used by medical professionals to describe a drug addiction. Something being harmful to the human body has no relevance to the terms addiction or dependency.

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    it costs money. and if I had no e-juice and no food, I would go out to the vape store and buy e-juice before I went to the corner shop to buy food. That is an adverse consequence. Therefore, I am compulsively engaging in rewarding stimuli, despite adverse consequences. It fits your definition...

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    ok, i believe you. I think that you have an atypical tolerance to an addictive drug, though... either way, you are choosing to continue using that drug. So, somewhere you have a desire to keep purchasing/using it.

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    dependency is addiction. I am not sure why you are trying to define it differently. You can develop both a physical and/or mental dependency on many drugs. Nicotine is one of them. And most people would call this addiction.

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    OK. so you believe it has health benefits and if someone switched out your nicotine juice with 0mg juice, you would have no idea and no desire to inhale something with nicotine? I think that if you stopped using it right now, it you would start thinking about inhaling nicotine again before the...

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    I'm not sure about this. I think addiction is just what happens when the continued use of something becomes compulsive and hard to resist... such as e-liquid with nicotine.

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    A patch is different though. Thats like a slow trickle all day designed to make addictive cravings subside. But inhaling nicotine directly into the lungs is an immediate effect. I don't care if people say vaping it is not as strong as smoking. If you are making big clouds on something like...

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    I am addicted to vaping, just like I was addicted to smoking. So the addiction is the same for me. Its not so bad being addicted to something, really. It gives something to constantly look forward to.

    REO CLONED

    I don't understand the answer. Twice the voltage drop? Twice the voltage output? What measurement is twice? Are you saying the clone is more conductive than the original REO SL?

    New to vaping. What should I get?

    OP, if you want to start right out rebuilding your own coils and doing your own wicking, it's even easier to rebuild a dripper than it is to rebuild a tank. And you get better flavor + better airflow options. An RDA is worth considering.

    REO CLONED

    I think you could get a rough estimate even with a cheap voltmeter. Just make sure you are using the same battery and the same atomizer on both mods. The ohms don't really matter, although the lower your build is, the easier it will be to see the difference, because the voltage drop gets...
