the buzz im talking about is kind of like a head rush. like when i took my first real smoke, i could definitely feel a difference. got a little off balance. i liked it. but that wount be found with vaping? i just read your other posts in the "whats in your cup" and thought that maybe i should try drinking water or something.
Darn.....yeah, that'd be the one. The nicotine in eliquid is stripped of its alkaloids that bring on that effect. DVap, a chemist on the forum, conducted some tests using eliquid he'd made that still contained those alkaloids. It was purified, but had the whole tobacco alkaloids intact and was dubbed WTA eliquid. The stuff did the trick, but it wasn't feasible for him to make more than the testing required. Unfortunately, no eliquid manufacturers seem interested in revamping processes, so we got what we got. Here's a post I made back in October that may sum up your expectations:
"Very unscientific, sure, but my own experience has convinced me that the ecig is only an alternative, like they say, not a replacement. I enjoy that I am now officially a non-smoker, but I do miss my analogs, sometimes. Over 30 years of smoking the nastiest, harshest tobacco out there and I enjoyed it all. Yes, I still got a "buzz" every morning with the first of the day and anytime I went a longer than normal period without. Ecigs don't provide that. Like my tobacco, it didn't take me long to locate and buy the highest strength nic (75mg) I could find to reproduce the same effect. I found out I could get myself feeling oogy, but that's as far as it went, no "buzz", the feeling of calm, brain stimulus, not even a good bowel movement. I've described to my wife (a lifetime non-smoker) it's kind of like being in a mental desert. Just kind of a constant mood instead of the rewarding uplift, satisfying focus I got after having a smoke. Yes, there's no doubt alot more at play here than just the nic, but atleast I can quench the craving. I just wish I could have a good bowel movement, Ha."
That was before we got things figured out. If this is you and you'd like to stay off the smokes and still enjoy life much like it was, Swedish snus is the poo. It's discrete, spit-less tobacco that comes in a little pillow you tuck between the cheek and gum and let the goodness soak in. It's not chew or dip and many studies have been done to prove no links to cancers or any of that other rot. What's nice is you can tuck a portion in and kick back to enjoy a nice relaxing vape session, much like a smoke. And you don't have to have a PV permanently attach to your face 24 hours a day. If you're interested, check out the Smokeless section, post some questions. No commitments, just a bunch of friendly folks the PV alone couldn't fix
