I'm glad I don't use NIC because I don't like that sensation it provides. I picked up vaping as an alternative to starting to smoke again, plus I'm a dork and I think it's cool... so I didn't need the nic... But while testing flavors for my dad, who DOES need nic, I've tried some with it in there and OMG... Needles to the throat... Maybe if you crushed some up and vaped those, it'd simulate the sensation. LOL
