Safest nicotine «vape» is ecig with SS coils, VG based e-liquid with no aromas. I vape some occasionally for convenience reasons. When I have time to mess around with true tobacco then I do prefer true vapes due to taste and overall satisfaction.
Couldn't agree more!
I would say something between 80/20 and 50/50 for VG/PG ratio.
Just go to the nearest shop and say: temperature controlled device, stainless steel coil, custom made liquid without flavours, 18mg/ml nicotine.
I had decided (almost, almost there, just 1000 more reviews on Youtube) on Davinci IQ for my first vaporizer. Firefly next for a home device. Portability and convenience. But also for the "flavour chamber". I think that it has potential to be used as convection only device. Not marketed as such because it's primary for weed but the temperature at the chamber may be adequate for tobacco. Probably not the best shape because hot air enters from a small hole, but this "chamber" looks gargantuan. Empty oven, loosely filled flavour chamber with tobacco prepared with the Xelatsok's method. Actually plan to start with 20% sauce, by weight. Will report back.
Oh wallet, my wallet.
Nu, proshtai zdrovie!
I had used e-cigarettes for 9 years but wouldn't recommend them as primary means for quitting cigarettes. Maybe the original ones - Ruyan, but they are not available for many years and the industry had shifted into clouds and watts and stuff like that.
I would recommend sport. Weightlifting. Not fitness, not yoga, not running. Running will lower your testosterone. Fitness is a waste of time if you are not on steroids. I'm old and have tried all sort of weeds and sports. Stronglifts or Starting Strength. SL is better for young guys and free. Read SL site today and hit the iron tomorrow.
E-cigs are the most safe means for nicotine delivery (that somewhat mimics smoking) but are tricky. Too much VG and you end up with all sorts of technical issues. Not scorching your VG should be a primary concern. Too much PG and you end up dehydrated, with sore throat and nose. Too much nicotine and you have to count every puff you make or you end up with nausea. Too little and you will puff the damn thing all day long. There is probably balance for everyone’s taste but is hard to find.
The thing is that e-cigs don't work the way people expect. They deliver nicotine. They satisfy the cravings. They never give the satisfaction that tobacco gives. Nicotine is actually stimulant, like caffeine. The feeling of relaxation and calmness comes from other alkaloids. You could try WTA extracts. You could try e-cig at day, weed at night. But my first advice will be sport and reserving tobacco for pure enjoyment. You know when you are approaching a pipe or a vaporizer for pleasure only or because of the addiction.
If you are asking why am I writing this in the early morning hours - I had a surgery and I'm off from sports for 6 months now. I'm back to sucking robots dicks all day long, but for me the recipe is clear - iron and something decadent every other day. That brought me to this thread - researching and alternative to pipe smoking for the winter or for places (bars, clubs) where it is not appropriate as I will be back to gym one day or another.
