But you disagreed nicotine was an addictive drug yet after not smoking for 2143 days you still have nicotine, just makes no sense to me.
Point being, there is an enormous difference between the addictive properties contained in & created by the chemical soup from smoldering tobacco / and the clean refined nicotine used in vaping.
Tobacco smoke - thousands of chemicals, toxins & carcinogens, only one of which is nicotine, in its raw organic form blended with other properties that make it more available, stronger longer lasting effect, more addictive,,, on purpose.
Nicotine used in vaping - one chemical or drug if you want to call it that,,, clean, pure, refined nicotine.
I still use nicotine because it is something my body has been used to for 42+ years and I like it, much like coffee / caffeine.
Sometimes I don't have coffee, occasionally for a full day or two, I don't go into withdrawal, freak out, become irritable or have any actual negative side effects. Occasionally a slight headache,,, one or two aspirin, gone, woo freaking hoo.
I have no problem going 4, 8, 10 hours without vaping, on occasion there are entire days I am just too busy, need my hands for other things or in a place where vaping is very low to non existent on my priority list.
I don't go into withdrawal, freak out, become irritable or have any noticeable negative side effects.
Many long term vapers report similar
I smoked 2 -3 packs per day for 36+ years, no way on earth I could go a day, even 4 hours without smoking, I used to go to all sorts of ridiculous lengths to smoke and chain smoke 2 - 4 cigs to make up for brief non smoking periods.
Even after all this time I still think cigs smell delicious, I still get cravings to smoke, I know what would happen if I lit one so I don't.
I crave smoking, I don't crave vaping. It doesn't have to make the least little bit of sense to anyone else.
Smoking - highly addictive chemical soup that happens to contain nicotine.
Vaping - Pg, Vg, small amount of flavorings & a tiny amount of refined nic, almost as addictive as caffeine.
I've been in no hurry to reduce nic, I've let my body tell me when each step lower should take place.
Gradually over time going from 10 - 14 ml of mid to high 30's mg/ml nic per day down to 2 - 8 ml of 3 mg/ml nic per day my Cotinine level has drastically reduced.
As far as nic buzz from vaping goes,,, I've never once had one or would want it.
A feeling of slight nic overdose, yes, I do whatever necessary to avoid it, like stop vaping for a while or reduce nic mg/ml.
