Getting testet for cotinine (nicotine)

[Robotronix]

Hi

First time here, I have been vaping for 8 months only at nights around 1ml of 18mg eliquid for about 4 hours. I use a 2 ohm clearomizer and use 3,7 voltage

I stopped for 11 days cold turkey , no vaping at all for 11 days because i was getting tested for a life insurance. On day 11 my sample was given, it was a urine sample. Would like to know what are the chances for passing the test or not.

I feel it is unfair for vapers to be considered in the same risk scale as smokers.... That is why i am doing this, i really feel it is not cheating.

thanks in advance

I heard 10 days was about the longest...

Did you choose 11 days, or was it a guess?

That sucks that they do that, but until the law makers understand, there's not much that can be done. Not sure about your chances. Good luck!

Hi, 11 days was just a guess! i really had no clue what the window was

Nicotine use, however it is delivered, is considered an increased risk...

 

[Robotronix]

Yes it is a risk, but the risks of tar and the hundreds of other chemicals used in analogs are much worse. Nicotine is basically what keeps you smoking, the other stuff is what poisons you.

Anybody here with experience in the tests?

 

[Robotronix]

Thanks ! I will let everyone know what the result was...

Technical data or experience shared from members would be great

I have seen several threads related to testing over the year I have been on ECF. Try a few search strings and see if you can find them. Lots of info from folks who have had to go through testing for insurance.

That doesn't make a difference. It can elevate blood pressure. If a life insurance company asks if one uses nicotine, they check no and pass a test, then drop dead from a heart attack, they won't pay the claim if the post mortem test shows up positive...

So putting catsup on my burger is a health risk.

Besides, "the patch" is FDA approved.

If you put 150 kilos on your burger, then yes...

I agree to disagree....about the nicotine being the addictive component that is..

The same could be said for my ex-wife or standing in line at a checkout in WalMart but you don't see them asking if you have been divorced or where you shop either.

So. They ask about nicotine. That's one way to raise rates and later deny claimes...

Cotinine has a half life of about 15 hours in the urine. If you went 11 days without vaping you should be in the clear.
