Is PG or VG the better Nicotine carrier?

I mean in terms of Nicotine discharge to the loung cells?

E.g. if I were to inhale/exhale either pure PG or VG vapor at the same rate and with the same wattage level, would there be a difference in the Nicotine concentration in your blood stream?

Is there any research on that?


Also I'm wondering, if you vape heavy VG based juice is there any risk to get a nicotine overdose, because the vape is rather smooth and you don't feelt that you had too much in time?

I have not read anything on that. OTOH, I believe high pg juice vaporizes faster than high vg juice at the same power level, so you might get a bit more nic because of that. It wouldn't be much more though.

Before you get a serious overdose of nicotine you would have quite noticeable symptoms and would stop. This is assuming you are reasonably healthy and awake. I don't think anyone has ever died from a nic overdose from vaping.

You would notice the difference from 6mg/ml to 3 mg/ml nic no matter the ratio, the throat hit will intensify even more so on a higher wattage/ lower ohm coil.
I take it you are not a smoker ?

Sorry my language is not english. I probably expressed myself wrong here. It seems like by "overdose" you all think I mean a dose that would kill you. I didn't want to say that. By "overdose" I mean a dose where you would start to feel ill effects e.g. loung irritation or soemthing like that. Because you have a lot less feedback in your throat with how strong the liquid is with VG campared to PG. I know it can not kill me.
