Does anyone think it will be possible to make an ecigarette that delivers the same amount of nicotine as an analog does? Currently, apparently, they only deliver 1/10 of the amount. Then, since the vapor isn't absorbed into the lungs, it takes a long time to get to the brain. That may be fine for some folks, but I'd really like an ecig that gets sufficient nicotine to the brain quickly - like an analog does. I continue to use an ecig - just wish they'd perform more like an analog. I don't know how the vapor could be made stronger, or how it could get to the lungs to get absorbed. Maybe some of you do?? Maybe the lower levels of nicotine in the juice would be adequate, if the vapor were absorbed more efficiently.

I believe that is the purpose of many of the undesirable chemicals in analogs, to hasten and prolong nicotine and its effects on the brain. The same chemicals we are trying to get away from.
Some people have reported greater absorption, at least anecdotally, by treating e-cigs more like a cigar and less like a cigarette. Try just holding the vapor in your mouth instead of inhaling it into your lungs.
Jeez when I first got mine, I felt like I was going to OD. Then came the battery mods and manual switches...Ohhhhh mannnnn I have to stop myself.
I am interested on this subject too. maybe a diffrent vapor medium would help ex. water instead of PG (just an example i know that wont work)
Two suggested paths to explore...
Look at a PV like the Prodigy, Zi Moshi and GG. High-voltage vaping might help satisfy part of the analog experience you feel is missing. Solid throat hit with warm, voluminous vapor (or so I am told). Maybe a few drops of 36mg e-liquid would do nicely. Check out today's review by corsican on devices I mentioned above.
Another option may be to incorporate smokeless tobacco proucts into your daily routine. Check out snus, nicotine lozenges and nasal snuff

Put a drop of VG on your desk next to a drop of water.
The water will be gone in an hour or two.
The VG may well still be there the next day, and the next week, and maybe the next month ...
PG evaporates a lot faster than VG. I think that's part of the reason - quite a bit of the nicotine is held onto by the VG which holds it pretty tightly.
The rest has to do with the form of nicotine, how much, if any, is 'free-base' (the fast acting form).

If you wrap it in tobacco leaves and light in on fire with4000 other chemicals it will absorb in the lungs.............I also don't believe it is 1/10. I have the seen the study about 1/10th produced by a MANUFACTURER. That study took into account a 5 minute time frame not a half hour or hour and longer. Yes vaping is slower to the brain, but that's simply the way it is. I( like nerf quoted) take cigar puffs and then inhale and have overloaded several times. I simply don't buy the 1/10th idea because I was a 2 pack a day smoker. When I got my e-cig I took 5 puffs and couldn't smoke or vape for almost 2 hours and when I first tried some 36mg it hit me like a freight train.( hope this didn't come off as preachy.........just my .02)
I don't believe that an e-cig only dispenses 1/10th the nicotine of a cigarette.
I think it might dispense 1/10th of the nicotine contained in a cigarette. A cigarette burns up most of the nicotine it contains when you smoke it. Burned up nicotine isn't nicotine any more, so you only get the nicotine vapor that isn't destroyed.
