What semi safe additive could juice makers introduce to increase nicotine uptake?

[Ritual]

I was reading on this forum that Tobacco makers add ammonia? to the leaves in order to increase nicotine uptake?

One thing I noticed when I first started vaping was that I don't get that jolt that a cigarette gives but rather it just kind of takes away the craving as long as you vape pretty much nonstop (much more frequently then you would regularly smoke).

I am using 24mg strength E juice and I regularly smoked a pack a day and I am having to vape almost nonstop.

I was pondering what Ejuice makers could introduce into their product that would help bring vaping more in line with the delivery efficiency of a regular "analog".

Has this been discussed at all? Whats the verdict?

I'm not sure the tobacco companies are regarded as ideal role models.

Try an RDA or RBA. That should give you the nic buzz you're looking for.

How long have you been vaping? At 24 mg it shouldn't take too many hits to feel the nic. Rather than adding unsafe chemicals to your e-juice, I would recommend getting some better hardware. More vapor = more nicotine.

I have been vaping for 5 days.

I use an MVP v2 with Iclear 30's.

The juice is Mt Baker.

I am going to order some Aspire Nautilus Mini's next week. It's not so much that I want that kick in the ... so to speak, but I just want to feel comfortable vaping at the same pace as I would smoke regularly. I feel like I am vaping nonstop.

I would focus on improving your intake via equipment, the goal of vaping is harm reduction and i don't think adding chemicals to mimic cigarettes (essentially freebasing the nic) is the right direction to head.

I defy any normal person to vape 24mg out of an RDA with a sub-ohm coil and not nearly pass out...lol.

Like mentioned above, get a high voltage/wattage device and an RBA/RDA and i bet you'll be surprised how efficient they are at delivering the nic.

Best of luck!

*EDIT* It appears you're early in your journey, once you get a couple weeks under your belt the worst of the cig craving will begin to pass and you'll also settle into a more reasonable/easy to anticipate pattern of vaping.

Whole Tobacco Alkaloid liquid, called WTA, has minor tobacco alkaloids that enhance the effect of nicotine. IMO, the nic hits you faster and the effect lasts much longer than nic-only liquid. Also, it has a calming, focusing effect much like smoking.

It is not an additive. Its the natural alkaloid spread (including nicotine) that exists in tobacco.

Lots of stuff on this forum about WTA, some really interesting reading.

I cut my vaping in half after i started vaping WTA juice. Wonderful stuff. YMMV
