Sugar Sugar

[SnakeFarm]

I am now a confirmed TVR fanboy and TVR Flavor of the Week putah. I got some Mt. Do when it was the FotW a couple weeks back and I think it's my new favorite. NICE sweet, and tangy. It really does taste like the namesake. I'm just a little concerned that it will spike my blood sugar. I'm a type II diabetic, but I manage it through diet.

Has anybody checked their blood sugar after chain-vapeing a sweet flavor?

BTW: Hypnotic is one of the four or five FoTWs this week. It's a nice tangy somewhat orangy citrus, not quite so sweet.

Hmm good question. Do you have a meter?

I love TVR myself and waitin on a package.

I've heard some ppl say that their sugar rose and then others say it didn't affect them. I've not checked mine since I vape all day and wouldn't know if vaping sweet stuff caused it to rise or not. So the jury is still out. I don't think vaping sweet flavors will affect you blood sugar though.

...since REAL sugar is usually not used...mostly synthetic sweetners like ethyl maltol, sucralose and the like, I'm not sure how much of an effect that would have on blood sugar levels...

Not to mention that vaping is nothing like eating. vapor would have a different path through the body and i dont think it could affect you in the same way as food would. but hey i am not a doctor nor do i play one on tv.

The consensus here is pretty much my assumption, so Ill gauge it as safe. Even if they used sugar, the quantity delivered would likely be undetectable.

One of the big reasons I like TVR is the ability to configure things to my taste. I usually go with 30 ml of 24-30 mg at 100% VG, and get the double flavor shot for most flavors.
