I was a heavy smoker before making the switch, I've never experienced a buzz from vaping, I guess I've been doing it wrong all along?

Hello. My name is Baditude, and I'm a nicoholic.
Hi, my name is Jebbn, I dont think I am a nicoholic. I think I may have been a something else thats in tobaccohlic.

I accept we all have slightly different chemical stews going on inside of us and different chemical desires.

the minor alkaloids aren't overly well studied, and most of the studies have been rodents

some say they help the body make the best of nicotine, others say they are stand-alone feel good chemicals

MAOIs are also present in tiny amounts [clinical doses require patients to follow the maoi diet, things like not eating cheese because the interaction can be fatal] and there is debate how much impact that has

Jeez,

The so called nic buzz from smoking isn't caused by the nicotine.
It comes from the combination of thousands of chemicals, toxins & carcinogens in tobacco & how they effect the brain & body. The sensation is increased by the lack of oxygen getting to your brain due to the smoke inhalation.
The effects last longer due to tar & other particulate matter from the inhaled smoke temporarily overloading your respiratory cilia who's job it is to move microbes, contaminants and debris up and out of the airways which further compounds the felt effects.

It's funny I came across this, as I'm on a similar boat. Never liked cigarettes, started smoking dhokha fairly recently, say 2yrs ago. Just switched to vaping and it's been a week so far.
I didn't expect to get a buzz from vaping tbh as I know nothing can match the buzz you get from a good strong dhokha, which makes you numb at times, so yes I did miss that buzz/hit. Hoping some where that I might get a some "buzz" from vaping? But nevertheless vaping helps good with the nicotine craving.
From reading this thread I don't understand how OP got that buzz from vaping, as for me it just takes away the nicotine craving with added flavors.

No correction valid or needed...

Clearly stated, from smoking...
No mention of or correlation to vaping using refined nicotine, like we use in vaping,,, not including NET's or WTA.

So studies have been done that prove categorically that nicotine plays zero role in the buzz? If so, huh. You'd think that, as a powerful drug that acts with receptors in the brain in ways that lead to the release of neurotransmitters, it would have an influence.

Do you use 0mg e-liquid?

English, unlike other languages, is one that grows as people use it. Unlike in French, there is no authoritative Academy of the English language that determines what is and what isn't.

You will find many valid definitions, validated by their own existence.

On wikipedia the definition is a bit more robust and excludes sugars:


"A drug is any substance (other than food that provides nutritional support) that, when inhaled, injected, smoked, consumed, absorbed via a patch on the skin, or dissolved under the tongue causes a temporary physiological (and often psychological) change in the body.[2][3]"
gotcha

No I use 3mg/ml nic now, started with 36 mg/ml naturally weaned down over the years as my body told me it was time to take each step down.
Wife has vaped 0 nic for the last 18 months maybe more.
She started vaping about 3 months before I did.
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.

If I am not mistaken, I don't recall he said anything about nicotine not being an addictive drug. He said nicotine didn't cause the "buzz", which started this thread. There's a difference between vaping for a head rush and vaping to avoid nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

A post i put earlier in the thread was:

"In all fairness unless at 0mg vaping is a drug and a very addictive one called nicotine."

You agreed with this along with 4 others but 6 disagreed and he was the first one to disagree only a few minutes after i posted it.
