I tried one and did not care for it much. It was the lung juice line carried by nHaler. The site does list what is in it. Maybe it was all in my head but I could swear it had a funny earthy taste to it. Maybe all that listing of roots was playing mind games with me. I will stick with swallowing my vitamins and vaping my nic.

I think the vit-vape thing is a gimmick. One would have to vape a LOT of juice to get even the RDA of the vitamins. And vitamins are MEANT to be ingested internally, not by inhalation.

Plus, I think over time they will gum up an atty, as many are very large molecules, and most are high-heat sensitive and will decompose anyway. Vit-C is one of them. The OP mentions B12. Any idea of what cyanocobolamin looks like? Take a look:

I'm not inhaling the thermal products of decomposition of that! :shock:

As a chemist, I must say I find the vit-vape thing to be stupid at best, a con at worst, and without merit of any kind. You are far better off taking them as pill. And safer, both for you and your atty.

I'm with you completely. There is no way this molecule will survive vaporization.

Well said, although I didn't look at the wikki link. Common sense as well as a little knowledge (high school level knowledge) says that most vitamins are heat sensitive, thus vaping them will not work.

While taking vitamin supplements are important, it is equally important to eat right. Eating right not only gives us our vitamins, but also serves a very important oral function. The periodontal ligaments are part of what holds our teeth into their sockets. Chewing our food (esp. crunchy food) is the way those ligaments get their workout.

Sorry for the brief lesson.
