I actually like this explanation. And to those other guys if you see this ive seen the old studies. But with new gear should be easy to get a near equivalent nic fix in a few minutes. I found I'm not as addicted to nic as when I smoked. Maybe that's cuz I can take a few puffs here and there as opposed to feeling obgliated to finish a whole cig. Or maybe it's cuz there's no more additives idk.
And this paper shows that even with older style devices while chain vaping you can easily exceed nicotine level gained from a cigarette. And while nic level after smoking drops fast, nicotine level at chain vaping stays high all the time. So, it is difficult to compare smoking and vaping, but for sure with little effort we can exceed nicotine consumption of an average smoker.
All depends on how much nic is being used. I'm assuming the cloud chaser uses 3mg. Honestly I used like 24 when j used a clear. Now I'm halfway in between a tootle puffer and a cloud chaser. A mod whomper as they call it so I'm running 12mg at 40 watts lol
Can you give me a link to those studies? Not that I don't believe you but that's just what I was looking for. And I thought the percentage of absorption was just how much of the vapor is absorbed. So maybe the percentage is still the same but since there is more total vapor per puff. You absorb it quicker. I hope that makes sense
Actually this study does not show what proportion of nicotine is absorbed. It shows that total nicotin in blood could be higher for vaper than for smoker.
That's the old study. I honestly think we are on third generation devices now and fourth if you count tc as separate. I still stand by what I said. The percentage stays the same but our new devices make more clouds. Its like the difference between putting a 12 ounce beer in a beer ..... Or a 40 ounce. They could both have the same abv. But more beer will make you drunker.If you have one that Does, Please Post it.
I kinda like this Graph....
"Data for tobacco cigarette was derived from Vansickel et al7. Nicotine levels after smoking a tobacco cigarette in 5 minutes (18.8 ng/ml) are 185% and 286% higher compared to using the first and new-generation electronic cigarette device respectively. Additionally, plasma nicotine levels after smoking one tobacco cigarette are almost equal to the values after using the new-generation device for 35 minutes (18.52 ng/ml), while they are 73% higher compared to the values after using the first-generation device for 35 minutes (10.88 ng/ml)."

I wish I have it. Looks like it was not done.
Compare your graph with this one (the same paper), it is actually the same graph but not cut after 35 min:I kinda like this Graph....

What I'm saying is the rate as a percentage isn't changing. It certainly is per pull on your mod. We all remember having our ego mods like surgically attached to our lips lol. Either way its good news. It should mean peoples success rate for quitting will go up more
If you compare an hour of vaping to one cig it may be apples to oranges. During that hour a PAD or better smoker would have had at least one more. I would have had 2 more back In the dayI wish I have it. Looks like it was not done.
Compare your graph with this one (the same paper), it is actually the same graph but not cut after 35 min:
As you see, nicotine plasma level after 1 hour of vaping is considerably higher than after cigarette smoking.
