    Great observations.

    Also, 70's era newsrooms. One the most fast-paced, all-night and stressful jobs around, were coffee and nicotine smoke chambers, so I've heard.

    I'm sure there are other parallels that could be found that go back thousands of years and in every culture.

    It's holy to Native Americans, too, but probably for other reasons. Though I'm sure nootropic aspects did factor in.

    They were
    Thanks for the warm greetings, all.

    Glad to hear it, Tami.

    I could be mistaken, maybe it's the change of season and humidity, but I could swear I've noticed Nicotine and/or the moisturizing effect of VG/PG seems to open my nasal passages similar to an OTC solution. I feel like I'm sleeping better.

    If so, I wonder if it could be the vasoconstriction effects of Nic working locally within the sinus tissues?

    Anyone else experience this? I Googled it, hoping to find something, but alas...

    Also, while on the subject of "health," my Dad passed from Alzheimer's a couple years ago and if there is any chance of avoiding or delaying any potential heredity-induced onset, that might be another check on the "pro" side of nicotine, for me.


    Not sure if it's the Nicotine .... I thought it was the PG that clears the sinuses but that may not be correct either. I have noticed this as well and I assumed it was the PG. Don't really know though.

    I've just noticed that it makes my mucus thicker.

    For sure, the humectant / humidity / moistening effect is helping, too. To me (maybe cuz I'm a noob), it's as instantaneous and tangible as a saline nasal spray. It's quite nice.

    Paradoxically, it might even be a mild irritation of certain flavors that help to stimulate a natural clearing effect.

    I suspect it's several synergistic effects.

    I know when I vape 5pawns Sixty Four, the mint, dill and citrus really help clear me out. Almost like a Vicks inhaler.

    Yep, I personally "assume" that it is a synergism and I seem to experience exactly what you do. No, it's not because you're a noob as that has nothing to do with your tangible sensations.

    I hope so. I just got my flavors today and it's all I had time to mix aside from the little bit of blackberry I got left.:facepalm:

    I've never tried blackberry either. I am somewhat naive when it comes to flavors. I mix my own juices but really have not experimented with many flavors. I do seem to get along with what few fruit flavors I have tried.
