nicotine effects

[ouada]

ive been vaping for a few weeks now, and havnt had a cig yet. I have hade a can of chew tho. ive noticed somthing strange. i can, and do, vape all day but never get the buzz i do from chew. anyone have any idea why that is?

Could be because when you vape you are breathing oxygen, when you smoke you are breathing CO2 and other products of combustion plus 400 chemicals including carcinogens.

Vaping is different from smoking or chew in what it provides, here's a link that explains better:

Vaping doesn't have the exact same effect that smoking does. Dormouse already pointed out the reasons. Analogs contain carbon monoxide which lowers your oxygen level. I won't go into the whole science of it and spare you the Respiratory Therapist lesson. Suffice it to say that part of the "buzz" you got from analogs was from less oxygen getting to your brain, aside from all the other 4000 chemicals found in them. Nicotine also produces a kind of "buzz" because it's a stimulant. Using chew is a different method of nicotine delivery that reacts almost instantaneously. Vaping delivers the nicotine more slowly, so you rarely get the same kind of buzz from it.

simple fact is nicotine has very different actions dependent on how it is administered. it can be a depressant and a stimulant dependent on the method. personally i've never gotten a buzz from chew, a close friend swears nic does more for him through the lip -- personally i LOVE the buzz of lung delivery way more.

thanks, the difference for me is mostly with chew. when i chew i get a huge buzz. Vaping does stop the craving but doesn't give me a buzz. i started with a 3.7 volt mod and just love the consistency and how dense the vapor is. Thanks stosh i didnt know nicotine wasnt the only psychoactive chemical in tobacco.
