Well, with the deeming regulations, I thought I should try to get it down to zero. I started reducing nicotine right off the bat because I was doing direct to lung, sub ohm and was getting dizzy at 18mg. Anyways, got up this morning, hit my zero vape and I was fine. Interesting how the body works that way.
I'm aware that nicotine isn't additive or that addictive as they say. The addictive part is in the tobacco smoke, even pure organic non sprayed tobacco. I tried it that way.
Also, at least 3 times during those 18 months, I tried one hit of a real cigarette. I got a serious buzz off of it, like I hadn't smoked in all this time (but I was vaping). I also did one drop of 10% nic on my tongue, now that was a pretty serious buzz, I had to sit down. It was quite different than the real cigarette. So something is going on where the real addictive chemical isn't being announced.
I am so happy with the vape that having one drag off a real cigarette does nothing but reinforce vaping. Tastes like crap! I was sure of that before I tried it, and I was right. I didn't want anything to do with them. Mostly those moments involved lots of alcoholic drinks.
I couldn't imagine if I smoked in the house and car again. Ugh. Clothes smell nasty, burn holes in clothes. The ashes and butts smell. Nasty. I suppose I could smoke cigs outside, but still your clothes stink. It's got nothing on vaping except that mysterious chemical. I should get a small thing of WTA juice and try it, now that I'm going to be averaging zero nic, only with a backup with a little dropper, if it's needed.
I'm not really worried about getting addicted to things again. And I'm done with the 3 puffs I inhaled in 18 months. I did enough testing there.
Update: I looked at WTA ejuice base price. 30.00 U$FRN for 15 ml of 24mg/ml. I'll pass, too expensive for just a test.
