    Vaping for nicotine advantages?

    Thank you. I tried to get involved when I first heard of this plan. The problem is I couldn't even get details on who the organizing committee was. Well, I pretty much am the same, and seldom vape at all when it comes to 'out and about' or doing something not related to teaching. Although...

    Vaping for nicotine advantages?

    It'd hard to find out much about the genesis of this effort. I do know that it is strongly supported by people who should know better (e.g., the only other PhD here trained in neuropharmacology). I don't think there is outside political influence, just some kind of exaggerated political...

    Vaping for nicotine advantages?

    Of course it is, because nicotine has very little to do with the smoking/vaping habit except for acting as a discriminative stimulus to tell the brain you are getting nicotine. Nicotine is not the terminal reinforcer in the chain of responses making up smoking/vaping behavior. Having completed...

    Vaping for nicotine advantages?

    For whatever reason, I have not gotten notifications of any activity here since my last post until today. Interestingly, I was able to complete a small acute test on my propensity for nicotine 'addiction' this week. Since the semester began in early January, I consistently have been vaping...

    I just read the Rolling Stone article linked by gerrymi. Just out of curiosity, has anybody here who has been vaping for a while started developed "popcorn cough"?

    Vaping for nicotine advantages?

    Several things to report: @Shirtbloke - Migraines are still under control.. Also, in regard to that eventuality, we start classes in about 10 days, and I have yet had a serious urge to vape for the last 2.5 weeks, however, I have been having more 'sinus' type headaches than I have had when I...

    Vaping for nicotine advantages?

    Quick update. I've been reliably vaping about 45 mg/ml of nicotine at about 5.7W every day for the last three months. The semester is over Dec 11. I plan on taking a full 4 week hiatus from vaping starting on that date. This is my third nicotine-on cycle since starting this thread, and I'll...

    Vaping nicotine as a never-smoker, why not?

    Ignore this. I just wanted to subscribe to this thread because activity is so low now

    Vaping nicotine as a never-smoker, why not?

    Exactly, I couldn't have said it better myself. "Millions have died from not being addicted to nicotine....". Actually I might have said "Billions have died from not being addicted to nicotine, although trillions is not out out of the question, depending when you started the clock"

    Vaping nicotine as a never-smoker, why not?

    Actually if you are trying to achieve anything that resembles the blood nicotine delivered by a cigarette, at 36W you would need about 6.75 mg/ml, at least. A standard EVOD (2.4 Ohms, 3.6V) = 5.4W. Research indicates that you need to inhale about 50 mg/ml vapor from an EVOD to get the same...

    Vaping nicotine as a never-smoker, why not?

    I got it before my last post, actually. So if power is the universal language I am currently vaping at 8.0W [3.8V+/- .2V, 1.8 Ohm coil], if that helps.

    Vaping nicotine as a never-smoker, why not?

    OK, I think I get it now. Yes, I always use the SmokTeck glass EVOD-type atty with either a 1.8 or 2.4 Ohm coil. I spend far too much time updating and upgrading my keyboard and recording rig to have time to play 'switch-the-mod' :)

    Vaping nicotine as a never-smoker, why not?

    I'm also somewhat of an expert on 'dependence' as one of my neuroscience research endeavors, and there is no credible evidence that nicotine produces dependence of any kind. I know you can't handle that 'truth', but it is a 'truth' none the less.

    Vaping nicotine as a never-smoker, why not?

    Yes, if I really cared about power. I set my voltage to 'taste'. Technically, when I am increasing the voltage, I'm increasing the power at the same current and resistance. I'm not sure why one needs to care about the 'absolute' accuracy of the power estimation if they are getting done what...

    Vaping nicotine as a never-smoker, why not?

    If Wattage equals [(volts squared) divided by resistance], then wouldn't a variable voltage battery be just as appropriate because if you know the resistance from the coil value and the voltage from the selector on the battery you have all the information to determine wattage? So, other than...

    Vaping nicotine as a never-smoker, why not?

    Actually, most of the therapeutic data on opiates suggests that people who are actually in severe pain, do not become dependent on opiates unless they continue to use them after the "real" pain is gone (e.g. Rush Limbaugh). I had a hemicolonectomy in 2001 and was on ad lib morphine for a week...
