Hit and nicotine intake any correlation ?

[tazuo]

I mean if you use a powerful hardware with a lower nicotine liquids you can easily get the same hit using a less powerfull hardware and an higher nicotine liquid.
I'm doing this comparison with differents hardware and even with analogs to compare the hit.

Do you think hit perception could be a good way to judge nicotine intake every puff ???

Smoking again regular cigarette after quitting i find out the hit his not so much different from e-cig maybe even less in some case but the satisfaction is definitly better with analogs.
And i don't mean the satisfaction while you are smoking cause the taste is pretty bad and nothing special.Probably vaping is for sure much more confortable.
I mean the sense of well being after an analogs.
Only nicotine in my opinion doesn't have the same anti-anxiety effect than tobacco with all the alkaloids.
So maybe if you smoke more for the anxiety effect instead of the activation effect you need the other alkaloids and woul be stupid or even counterproductive raise nicotine levels cause alone can eventually increase your anxiety like happened to me.Since i tried to lower nicotine intake i feel much relaxed.And when i smoke an analogs i feel even more relaxed without the need of so much nicotine..

A lot of people think they should increase nic levels looking for an incredible hit to be satysfied but nobody try to remember they didn't get so incredible hit when they smoke...
And the result is just a nicotine overdose.
I'll buy wta liquids for sure if not for me is really difficolt too quits all the analogs i need at least 4 or 5 every days...

And probably would be much easy don't taking nicotine at all instead of taking just nicotine missing the other alkaloids.


I don't belive about the story of the less absorbtion with vapor...
You can easy feel nicotine with the hit strongness.

Stronger is the hit=more nicotine intake...


The first time i used e-cig i head a relly strong headache so it is impossible the absorbtion is much lower than analogs

i agree with alot of what your saying.
i think the absorption of nic is higher with vaporizing, of course depending on the hits your getting and how long your holding and if you exhale through nose, when i tried the inhalation technique recommened here i got a serious nic overdose my second day vaping and i did not vap more than i smoked. smoked 1 ml on a stardust in 5 hours.. also wierd thing is with 18mg liq i was getting a high like feeling all day for 2 weeks before i adjusted to it, i was smoking camel lights at a pack a day, never got a buzz off them not even in mornings. i could smoke reds and not get overdose only a sore throat.

I feel that yes, nicotine alone does add anxiety (especially in high doses over a lengthy amount of time). Analogs defenitely have an anti-anxiety effect but IMO it's because of the other chemicals in them, plus, I think that inhaling carbon monoxide sedates you a bit.... I'm just glad I don't use analogs anymore . I like to keep a variety of different strength liquids for different situations. If i'm at work or in a place where I can't chain vape until I'm satisfied I like to have some 24mg, for recreational vaping I'd suggest something with a low mg.
