Nicotine absorption is less than cigarettes, you need more than 16mg. I've seen countless upon countless of cases where hardcore smokers switched to a good setup and tapered down to 0 in no time.
Yes, my friend Jeff uses 0 nicotine oil and he was a heavier smoker than me! I have been smoking a couple years longer than him though, not sure if that really means anything though. He also gets a coffee-type oil but his has a hint of vanilla in it which tastes very good. I've puffed on it a few times when we were at the bar shooting pool
Vaping is too new the long term effects of e-cigarettes are still unknown.
My point exactly. Not saying cigs are any healthier, but at least you know the source.
Pros:
-You're not inhaling plant material, meaning there are, at worst, fewer carcinogens than smoking
-Often contains less active ingredients than cigarettes/"au naturelle" products
Cons:
-Certain brands and types still contains nicotine or tobacco, meaning you'll get just as addicted to it and you'll still have higher risk of lung cancer
-Can trigger allergies/asthma in others, making secondhand smoke still somewhat dangerousThis as well
Basically, with a traditional ciggy, you are inhaling a smoke that is literally burned, a compound chemical, also called a carcinogen. With vap oil, you are usually inhaling a form of freebase nicotine with flavoring. This flavoring is the tricky part because no-one actually knows where these flavors comes from (although usually a form of propylene glycol)
The fact remains that e-cigs only became big just recently (introduced into America in 2007)
I guess we just have to wait and see folks
