Quick question about e-liquid.

[Loogie]

sorry, being new and whatnot, I wasn't sure where this question would fit.

would it be possible to make a non-nicotine concoction without using PG or VG? I'm sure there's a definitive "yes" or "no" to this.

thanks.

Without using PG or VG? Not unless you found something else to suspend your flavoring in. Water ain't gonna cut it. You gotta be vaping something.

ah...thanks, man. I'm a little worried since I'm doing Atkins right now, and I saw in another post that low-carb and vaping may not coincide all that well. maybe it was just the PG stuff that they were speaking of though.

either way, I appreciate the quick response.

No problem Now, I haven't read that other thread since it's not a concern of mine... but has it been addressed that by vaping it's not entering your digestive system, just your respiratory?

 

[Loogie]

well yeah, I get that. I don't understand the other thread myself. I'm just tossin' around some questions hoping someone can ease my mind.

Another thought, I have lost 4 pounds since I quit analogs. Not sure if its because I can breathe better, or because of blood sugar levels, or just coincidence.

I think the thing to do would be suck it and see. Are you still n induction with Atkins? If so I would vape and see if it effects the degree to which you are in ketosis. If you're further on in the diet it may be that you could vape with impunity if you cut back on a few carbs. Let us know how you get on.

 

[Loogie]

I would be out of induction tomorrow, but I started vaping Friday. I don't have the little strips used to check the ketosis anymore, as I'm so used to Atkins now that I don't really need 'em...until now I suppose. I'll pick some up from the store and give it a check. although I'd rather just play it by ear (er...eye) 'cause I'm afraid if it states the negative, I'll have lost hope on either the e-smoking or the Atkins. both of which play an important role in my life right now.

 

[e-pipeman]

If your scales and/or tape measure show that you're still losing weight then I wouldn't worry. Good luck with the extra carbs tomorrow!

Can someone explain ketosis to me and what you want the strips to say? I can't figure out if it's something you want or something you don't....

Ketosis is a good thing in people who are trying to loose weight by killing their carb intake. It basically means you're burning fat stores to supply your body with what it needs instead of using the food you are eating.
Ketosis is a bad thing in animals that you're raising to be sold for food, obviously because the more the animal weighs the more you'll get for it at market.

So basically, if you are hoarding fat, you have no ketones?

 

[Skad]

Well you always have ketone bodies regardless; however they generally only appear in your urine in quantity when your body is burning fat stores. While the tests have recently started being used by people on high protein low carb diets, they can also be used to monitor the progress of severe diabetics and to detect anorexia.

No worries. I only know it because I used to work in an office full of women doing the diet. I took a special pleasure in eating chocolate cupcakes in front of them.

Now that's mean!

 

[Phalse]

dang women always turning cupcakes into poo! I'm baking it twice!

 

[Loogie]

well I just woke up and weighed myself (same time everyday) and I've lost another pound since yesterday. so I suppose I'll be okay.

I'm surprised you're still alive - dangling chocolate in front of women in withdrawl occasionally results in a stampede or a serious B*t*h slapping.
