Nicotine absorption

Interesting older studies-https://www.nature.com/articles/srep04133?fbclid=IwAR3xuq9J1lPfbCjj_GsZw0p-aEfSU-DqUgl91gxu4sUKHSgK6gajst_coTM

No wonder that I vape all day long if it takes me 45min vaping time to match 1 cig??

Yup. Cigarettes are great delivery systems for nicotine and all the other crap released. That extremely fast absorption and rapid onset of effect is why it's a strong self reinforcing behavior.

I suspect this is why Juul has been so successful; their own patents show a much faster rise in nic levels than traditional vapes for their 50-some mg/ml liquid.

I would guess the same is true to some extent for lung-busting, DL vaping style (assuming a sufficient nicotine level), which might explain why some people were only able to succeed in transitioning to vaping with that type of gear.

I vape all day long too, but that comes as no surprise since I smoked all day long as well. I generally had one burning more often than not. But I never inhaled 'em particularly deeply, and vape the same way.

It would depend on the concentration of the nicotine and the device that you are using.

I've posted the article a few times in response to other discussions and if I recall correctly they used 18mg/ml. And the article was published in the beginning of 2014 so the "New" devices are not new anymore.

The authors suggested that 50 mg/ml might match a cigarette. And around a year later, the Pax/Juul came out.

I'm pretty sure that i was never in that much of a hurry for a nicotine fix.

Fourty five minutes seems fine to me. If it wasn't, i wouldn't have been vaping for the last seven years.

OK. thanks for the input guys. I hadn't realized that it was that old. First gen devices that they refer to would have been those pathetic cig-likes @ the beginning of vapehood then? Barely 5w and 24mg/ml??

I didn't think that we had data for absorption. I just replied to a newcomer yesterday that vaping was absorbed diff than smoking and that there was no good data.

OOps

Time to raise the nic some more.

Might not have been necessary to go to 50 then. If juul was responding to this study then they were trying to improve upon an "08 cig-like? That could have likely been accomplished by improving the vape output, which I'm sure they have.
