Okay, the thrust of this particular post:
Linalool. Its the main stuff in lavender that makes it nicely relaxing.
Its totally GRAS, it can come food safe, and its all all sorts of stuff, like cosmetics.
Its an aromatic, with a slightly woody, spicy floral note. It its pure form its a very thin, easily evapourating liquid.
Its also in tobacco, and may likely IMO contributes to tobaccos relaxing effects.
Interestingly, reading the joyetech website, it would seem like _all_ of their e-liquids have linalool. See here:
Joyetech TOBACCO
Its the forth base ingredient, in every mix. Clever perhaps? They arent the only ones. I see reference to it as an aroma component on vaping forums etc, but nobody seems to have noticed its also a sedative.
Its also going to be in "tobacco absolute using" commercial e-fluids ---- although because "volitile" terpenes degrade quickly and easily, the exact amount is going to be highly variable, probably low.
So my question is this:
Anyone using or has used joyetech's e-fluids, or even just tobacco absolutes:-
Have ya noticed any additional slight relaxation, that ya dont normally get with nic only stuff?
Its probably a real subtle thing (Id guess a fair bit more subtle than WTAs), and one would probably want to do a side by side careful comparison to be more sure, but---
-- I thought id ask, just in case, anyone has such feedback on these e-liquids, others containing linalool, or even tobacco absolutes (which are probably lower in linalool)
IDK how popular joyetechs e-liquids even are
For the technically minded, heres some studies relating to linalools sedative effects:
Linalool study for mice: Inhaled linalool-induced sedation in mice. [Phytomedicine. 2009] - PubMed - NCBI
Linalool study for humans: Transdermal absorption of (-)-linalo... [Neuropsychopharmacology. 2004] - PubMed - NCBI
And heres a study showing that it naturally occurs in tobacco:

(Forum mod note - FYI this is not an tobacco extraction topic There is nothing in this about that. Linalool is not just in tobacco, its most famously in lavender. Linalool is commonly occuring. Its probably in your soap, or your shampoo. Commercially it usually comes from some chinese tree.
This topic is just about existing commercial products, the nature of tobacco, as may be relevant to quitting smokers and vapers, and a little of my intellectual curiosity Hope thats all okay!)
