Why is it thank constant vaping does not produce nusea?

I did an experiement yesterday: I literally vaped continuously throughout the day, with no breaks. I didn't even take a shower and I vaped inbetween bites of food.

I did not at all get nauseous or have any adverse reaction, whatsoever.

The other day I had a nonsmoker chain vape with me for about three hours and he felt no effects, positive or negative.

In comparison, I gave my mother a General Snus and she threw up within 15 minutes from the nicotine. Certain brands of snus that are "Extra Strong" will produce a clear adverse reaction to me when I take them.

I used Finiti (Walgreens noob electronic cigarette). I have a real e-cig comming in with 24mg nicotine and will redo this.

But why wouldn't even my nonsmoker friend have felt differently from multiple hours worth of constant vaping? I guarentee that if he smoked three cigarettes in a row, or took a single snus, he would throw up.

Same here. Recently my 24mg has been upsetting my stomach and giving me a light headache. Goes away if I set it down for 5 minutes and don't chain vape again.

Nicotine is just part of the equation when it comes to alkaloids on tobacco & how they effect us. So while I don't think e-liquid will ever make me so nauseous I vomit (which cigs have done) I'm pegging it to not being the full formula of tobacco.

Wouldn't be surprised if she threw up from the carcinogens, poisens or the nasty taste. I wouldn't advocate giving people tobacco products. Nicotine is entered into the body differently through vapor than any other form of ingestion. This could be why nobody got sick besides mom.

Swedish Snus is almost as healthy as vaping. It does contain far more nicotine than most people are used to using.
Nicotine from vaping is absorbed primarily through the mouth. If you inhale your vape, you will get a much reduced dose of nicotine.

Edit: By they way e-liquids are a tobacco product, too.

Can you explain this??
Sure. Water vaper, which is what we are inhaling when we vape, (or close enough anyway) is made of larger particles than smoke particles. These larger particles are not as good of a carrier for nicotine as cigarette smoke, so that is one of the reasons a puff of vapor contains more nicotine than a cigarette. Our body is not designed to absorb it as efficiently, so a large part of it gets exhaled.

When you vape, the best way to do so is to take a long slow drag, (compared to puffing on a cigarette) this gives the atomizer time to heat to the point where it can create vapor. If you puff an e-cig like a cigarette, chances are, you are not giving the heating element time to properly work.

Back to the topic at hand. The larger particles of water vapor cannot be absorbed by the lungs, so you either exhale them or cough them out later. The particles can be absorbed by the mucus membranes of the mouth, however, which is why you will see long-time vapers puff on their e-cig like a cigar, only occasionally inhaling the vapor. The longer you hold the vapor in your mouth, the bigger the nic hit.
