thanks, couldn't remember Exo's name :). So let's look at this -According to Exo's preliminary work, 92% gets past the atomizer's heat and so is available to be inhaled/absorbed (adsorbed?). If Exo has grossly miscalculated and Dvap's data stands that only 46% gets past the heat, and 46% is absorbed, then that's a different story. I'd seriously be happy with that for everybody. But if Exo is right, and 92% is absorbed, (or, if 46% is absorbed and 46% is exhaled) well, people need to know that, too, so they can go, whoah! At least we have Dvap and Exo hard at work trying to find some independent answers for now and I'm pretty thankful for their research! :)

As Twisted Vector said, exo's data is the percentage that actually makes it past the atty, not all of it that you inhale is going to be absorbed, so that 92% number look much higher than the actual absorption rate is. Dvap's 46% is I believe what he believes to be actually absorbed through a 510, which burns hotter than the 901 Exo used and may account for a great loss in nicotine getting past the atty. Consider their data more a compliment to each other, rather than a competition of each other. Both can be right in this case.

So TV, how are you dealing with the snus? That's the only solution I've found to date.
Well, after several visits with the rowdy bunch down in the Smokeless neighborhood of the forum (you and olderthandirt are the ones that got me interested, by the way) I got some Camel Snus and gagged my way through one portion (you guys warned me), then tried the Marlboro Rich (7.61mg/g) and understood why you're a sworn believer. I've been using the Mboro out of convenience, but plan on a Swedish order in the next day or two. I can't judge by the little experience I have, the proof will be in the "snoose", but as DVap's WTA as a baseline, I think it'll have what I need to stay mentally balanced...not sure what Dredbull needs, not sure he was ever balanced :D. Thanks for your postings :).

I see what you're saying, TTRP, and 92% absorption would be alot, even with low nic/ml. But to back up a little, 92% is recovery only. Not absorbed. When nic is inhaled from a PV the molecule is incased inside a PG bubble. Most of the nic that's absorbed is done so through the mucus membranes in the mouth, throat and nasil. The bulk of the vapor goes to your lungs where only a small amount will condense due to body heat and only a small portion of that makes it to the blood stream, since most will be metabolized. The rest is exhaled so we can enjoy seeing that satisfying vapor. As Travis stated, Exo's tests should be looked at as complimentary to DVap's. When all is said and done, at this point, the numbers will likely be very similar. Also, we need to take into account that the test results from Exo's shop are to prove out T-Max (Theoretical Maximum), no real world variables included. I'm glad you're interested, and I hope to see you visit it often, so maybe nobody notices my deer in the headlights look :).
