Are we really getting the sam amount of nicotene with our PV's

I had stumbled on this article kinda made me wonder. On another note if it is true than it shows us our brain can trick us into alot of things.

This is interesting. I had a few friends try my PV with a 16mg carto, then had them try the same flavor on a 510 drip. Both friends have never smoked or vaped in their adult life. Each one said they experienced what they call 'a nicotine high'.

I have been a smoker most of my adult life and have been vaping now for sometime. I normally don't vape over 16mg nicotine. On occasion I'll receive a sample carto where the level is say 18 or higher. When I sample it, I personall feel the nicotine kick and I do feel my heart pumping slightly harder during and after the vape.

Some times I have got that woozy buzz sometimes i haven't. Could be some of the inconsistencies.

I have observed that taking 3x 4 second inhalation into mouth then lungs and out nose at 20mg/ml gives me a "high" for about 25 seconds.

I am worried about the use of "puffs", they probably took very quick puffs. Also one issue is how did they measure nicotine levels, as it is used up very quickly in the brain. "two 10-puff bouts with the two electronic cigarettes described here expose users to no measurable nicotine or CO and do not increase heartrate. " I've measured my pulse, and it increases ~10 seconds after vaping. I'm also worried about "own brand cigarette", is this a brand I haven't heard of or does it mean the researchers have their own brand? Edit: I'm just reading the paper, it seems "own brand" = participant's own brand. I will commented on something I read, because it is vapour (bigger particles than smoke) it needs to be held in the body for longer to be able to be absorbed as much. 10 puffs is a lot if done correctly, however I think they just did very quick mouth puffs and exhaled soon after.

That would be similar to what I was thinking though I did not read the pdf.

The report you came across was discussed at some length in this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...eissenberg-study-vindicates-e-cigarettes.html

Bottom line, it is an updated report based on a study which was exposed as being seriously flawed in this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-cigarette-news/69409-cnn-com-today.html

People definitely get nicotine from e-cigs. How much they get is a complex subject, not fully understood. A long thread which has many interesting posts and some real research along the way is at http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/nicotine/44958-so-we-getting-we-not-nicotine.html
