E-cig nic from tobacco or synthetic?

[cliff5550]

I have always assumed the nicotine juice we use is derived from actual tobacco plants. But, because so much can be created and produced as a "created" synthetic, is the juice we use actually from tobacco plants or produced synthetically? Maybe this is a redundant question and maybe my original assumption has always been right, that it only comes from the tobacco plant. If it does actually come from tobacco plants, shouldn't the tobacco farmers of our country be all for our e-cigs and support any product which requires their crops?

Some of the listed ingredients in my TW e-liquid are...Tobacco essential oil>5%......Tobacco lead oil>5%........ Nicotine from Tobacco leaf>3%. Hope that helps to answer your question.

I read somewhere that nicotine can be made synthetically but dont know about the juice we vape.

It depends. Some e-juice is made from tobacco-derived nicotine, and some is made form synthetic. The stuff I use for my DIY concoctions is synthetic nicotine, and I prefer it that way. In contrast, though, I won't use synthetic glycerin, but instead opt only for the pure natural vegetable glycerin. So go figure.

It really depends on the source of the juice, as different suppliers get different ingredients from different places.

That scared me for a minute, I didn't know it had lead in it! That's just a typo, whew!
Short essay on Libeline (synthetic nicotine)

Libeline studies (with rats) suggest that libeline
acts as a nicotinic receptor antagonist. In english that means
libeline fills the same receptors that nicotine does (and is possibly
not bumped out of the receptor in the presence of nicotine), thereby
helping with urges to smoke. The more receptors you can fill with
libeline, the less you will crave to smoke --if you are a rat.

Regardless of the rat studies, libeline research is way beyond that,
many over-the-counter products now contain libeline and are advertised
as anti-tobacco products, and new [libeline based] drugs to help us
quit smoking and help those addicted to methamphetamine will soon be
on the market.

Note:A two month long regimine of 100mg of Niacin twice a day (yes, the Vitamin B3) can also fill neuron receptors with a molecule which is a mirror molecule of nicotine. Quitters can see a marked decrease in cravings while on a accelerated B3 regimine of 2 100mg tablets of flash Niacin (there is another non-flashing niacin, not effective in opening capillaries) which also helps to open and restore circulation to the tiny capillaries in the lungs, other organs, and skin which have been constricted by nicotine use. "Flashing" niacin gives one the sensation of high fever, itching, intense redness, just as a "hot flash" in post-menstrual or post-prostrate surgery. The hot flash can last up to an hour but it is vital for increasing lung function by opening up capillaries to accept oxygen. Be careful not to damage skin by scratching while the 'flash' is happening. Can be very helpful to fade the purple colorations of under-eye dark circles and 'masking' across the face which occurs in heavy smokers and heavy alcohol consumption.

So there are synthetics all around..look the same molecularly, but would you want a synthetic diamond, or a real one....just a thought.
Real tobacco products can contain nitrosomines, which are carcenogenic in tiny amounts (3 PPB) but then, most vegetables contain nitrosomines as well, green peppers have an exceptionally high content. It exists in the earth's soil.

Deja vu.... just answered that on another thread. Some is tobacco based some not: (still on the clipboard).

Lobelia inflata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Kate, despite 'google answers', I'm pretty sure that's lobeline not libeline. ;-)

I think all China derived nicotine juice is extracted from tobacco, grown and processed in India. Hence the brownish colour, this is caused by other substances, some of which are related to flavour.
Pure nicotine is a clear fluid and extremely poisonous. Concentrations above 7.5% are used as insecticide.

I've heard JC uses synthetic nic. Something about preparing to skirt around tobacco related products.
