I am reading today about how there is very, very little nicotine delivered in ecigs. An Eisenberg study? I would like to know the truth. Some people worry that using 36 mg. is too much nicotine. How can that be, if only a tiny bit of nicotine is getting absorbed?
how much nicotine in ecigs?

The Eisenberg study, although it passed peer review and got published, is pretty flawed, as admitted by Dr. E himself. They simply did not know enough of the ins and outs of using an ecig properly to actually get nicotine delivered. He came on ECF to get feedback and advice, and has since totally changed his tune: ecigs really do provide plenty of nicotine. Once we taught him how to actually use one properly, he found out what they can do. Seems this was not enough to retract the paper, though...its publish or perish in the academic world, or at least that's what I think the reasoning was behind not pulling the paper.
So if vaping a juice seems like it is strong to you, it most likely is. If you are vaping properly, you are most certainly getting nic just fine!

As I understand it they were using first time e-cig users, who were given fairly low grade starter kits, and told to take short puffs at timed intervals, and the resultant blood levels of nicotine were monitored. This is pretty far from how experienced e-cig users vape in the real world. A follow up which takes account of the feedback from e-cig users is currently being done, and you can read some initial findings here - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ep-e-cigs-deliver-nicotine-3.html#post3014893
