Hello ALl, I just want to ask a few questions. I was a smoker for 40+ years and i have been vaping for 2 month now. Ocassionally i will turn to a cig and that's only because i forgot to charge my battery LOL. I started at 18 ml of nicotine and now i am at 3 ml yay for me!!!!!!!!! I am going to zero very soon. My question is how long at zero nicotine do i have to be at before blood test come back neg for nicotine? I enjoy vaping and i want to up the nicotine level but my health insurance now ups your premium by $600 a year if you test postive on tobacco/nicotine. Nice huh? Don't get me started on that. So can anyone answer this question. I have googled it but no mention on vaping at a zero nic level
Thank you!

@Nana1 I had to have a blood test years ago for insurance purposes. I was a smoker at the time and didn't want the tests to show nicotine (for same reasons as yourself).

If I'm correct, (mind you this was several years ago) it took 5 days for the nicotine to leave my system. At least that's what I had read. I remember sweating bullets awaiting the test results...horrified at the thought nicotine would show up. It didn't!

If I was in your position I'd make sure at least a full week went by (without nicotine) before testing.

Hope this is helpful. Good luck!

"The time nicotine remains in the blood will be variable depending on whether nicotine or cotinine is being tested. If the lab is testing for nicotine levels, the nicotine will typically be gone within 1-3 days after you stop using tobacco. If the lab is testing for cotinine levels, the cotinine will continue to be detectable for 1-10 days after the last use of tobacco."

I think it would be the same as smoking

    Thank you!

    Welcome Nana1 ! Glad to have you here...... I can't answer your question but what I can say is that our freedoms are quickly being eroded away. Big Insurance in bed with the commies (big gvt) are robbing us two ways to Sunday.
