In search of an alternative to WTA (Whole tobacco Alkaloid Extract)
Basically I am deriving this as something that most likely would not/could not be under the FDA pervue to help increase the effectiveness of vaping- to give the something extra. Okay I am posting this if anyone wishes to follow along (I won't be sending samples
)...
The items for the most part should be readily available from either A. Your local Grocery Store or B. Available at most local vitamin/herbal supplement store as well as available online. Total outlay (Assuming you have coffee pot) should be about 20 USD or less. The method is relatively safe and requires no chemistry background.
What I am using/have already used (AKA What you need and experiment design);
1. A Coffee Pot
2. 4 cups of Coffee (I am using plain old Maxwell House coffee brewed to the instructions on the can- use whatever type of coffee you want)
3. A supply of dark Chocolate ( I am using Dove dark chocolate Promises brand for portion control) 3-4 squares a day
4. Herbal supplements (Brand Names listed as manufactures tend to have different processing methods, QA, Etc)... Nature's Way Cat's Claw Bark (1,455 mg strength), Swanson Full-Spectrum Passion Flower (500 mg strength), and Nature's Bounty Valerian Root (450 mg) plus Calming Blend (100 mg contains Passion Flower Extract)- 2 capsules a day
Additional notes: Have taken 50,000 I.U. dose of Beta Carotene (Vitamin A) and 800 I.U does of dl-Alpha (Vitamin E) for around 5 years now. Also am substituting 4 cups of coffee for the part of the 6-8 cups of tea I normally consume per day (Eg; will only consume 3-4 cups of tea in addition to the coffee). Am using 24 mg nicotine (Various flavors) e-liquid,obtained from e-cig.com, vaped in either a e-cig E-9 or RN4081 . Previous smoking habit was 2-3+ packs a day.
Will report on;
1. Desire to smoke
2. Mental Awareness state (Mental Fog)
3. Anxiety (Relaxed state) and restlessness
4. Perceived GI (Gastro-intestinal) effects including effects on bowl movements
5. Effectiveness of and frequency of vaping sessions to reduce cravings
6. Number of traditional cigarettes consumed (If any)
Will log the effects each day.
Methodology;
1. 2 cups of coffee in the AM, one at lunch, and one in the early evening.
2. Two capsules of herbal supplements per day (one on the AM and one in the evening)
3. Chocolate throughout the day with PV when desire to smoke instead of vape occurs
Length of time with each herbal suplement-
One week will be given for each herbal supplement and one week for no herabal suplements but with chocolate and coffee.
Suplement order;
Week 1. Cat's Claw
Week 2. Passion Flower
Week 3. No Herbal Suplements- Just coffee and chocolate
Week 4. Valerian + Passion Flower Extract (Valerian I already know takes a few days to leave the system).. This one may be cut short as I already tried Valerian for 3 days without coffee and it was effective but caused drowsiness.
