I noticed few weeks ago that I have some troubles with my nose. So I had to stop taking snuff, at least for this few weeks. But I need to delivery myself nicotine. Even Sherlock Holmes realised, that “nicotine helps thinking, clears mind” etc. And that’s right. So I’ve bought e-cigarette and started to vaping. I bought 12mg liquid, but I’ve accidentaly got a 18mg liquid. For those who do not know - that means 18mg nicotine per 1 ml of liquid. I’ve been vaping around 1-1,5 ml per day, so it is 18-26mg of nicotine. It is equivalent of ine and half pack of strong, red cigarettes (or even three packs, because 50% of nicotine in classic cigarettes is burned and its not delivered to human body). So I was worried - it is so much! Before this I was snuffing one snuff pack for two days. And I’ve noticed few things. First - I hadn’t felt dizzy after vaping, not even once. But I hadn’t hadn’t felt “nicotine hunger”. I was feeling… just normal. And so it went for maybe two weeks. I’ve finally decided to snuff a large amount of Gawith - the same size as I used to snuff few times a day yet month ago. What was that! I was feeling so dizzy, so gooooood, so… high. And it lasted for few minutes. Of course, I know it is normal effect of taking nicotine. But I was vaping one of the strongest liquids! So, I wonder once again how much nicotine is in one pinch of snuff. I think it is much more than I expected. Much, much more.
The ecig is not the greatest nicotine delivery system and it is missing the other parts of tobacco, but it simulates smoking well.
Not enough! Wait till you have a 5+ gram a day hobby then add chew,snus and several pipes full of tobacco in the mix. Thuoc lao is the only product that makes me sit down, Dokha comes close . I may be desensitized to nicotine ,having consuming it for 40+ years.
Tobacco is more than just nicotine
I agree when you light up a pipe of McConnels Oriental you travel to a another place and its not the nic
Sure, but many people who quitted smoking cigarettes and started vaping say, that even 11mg liquid gives them a nic hit and this great nic feeling. Even if they were smoking one pack of cigarettes a day. So, the point is not in other tobacco parts, but in nicotine itself. I’ve foundinteresting research about nic in snuff. It shows that normal daily snuff using is similar in nic level to regular daily smoking. Now I wonder how much nic could have been in my snuff portions. I think it was much larger than those people from research. Because they said it was “regular”, not halfhand pinch… but I loved this size so much…
E-cigs seem a little sketchy to me. Perhaps you got a bad batch of liquid.
I have a few different e cigs a got a year or so ago and I have 44Mg nic blueberry oil and that doesnt give me a head rush or anything im new to snuffing but I havent had any snuff so far give me a light headed feeling at all. I smoke alot of cigs and do snuff pretty much all day unless at work (just starting a new job) I can just sit here and do pinch after spoon after pinch 20 times or whenever I just feel like my nose has a little to much in there and then I blow it out and even do more after that. I do like the burn I get and still trying to perfect taking DW, I smoke d and r tobacco in Beretta cig tubes to after I started getting d and r tobacco and snuff I went from 3 packs a day to just around 10~15 sticks a day. I can tell ya from my experience the only thing that gives me a bit of a rush is waiting a long time between having a cigarette which if I wait around 8 hrs with no nic I take about 2 pinches of Toque quit or dw then a small bump/boxcar of Toque whiskey and honey or Spanish gem then light up a smoke and I get a rush from that. So try out waiting a while then doing a whole bunch of something strong.
Yeah @Viertel it’s hard to say how much nicotine you actually get from snuff. I think on a day I’m snuffing heavily it can easily be two packs’ worth or more. When I smoked cigarettes for three or four days the other week I wanted one every twenty minutes, which tells me my nicotine needs have actually gone up not down. But at the same time I can go without snuff for longer without it bothering me so much if I don’t feel like it.
@basement_shaman where is this thuac lao acquired?
@ basement shaman where is this thuac lao acquired?
@saucy_jack, I believe I have seen it at medwakh.com… Good luck!
It has been over a year since I made the switch from cigs to snuff and snus. Now I only smoked about a half pack a day but when I was without a smoke for a while I would get irritable and just messed up feeling. Now I believe a a whole I consume a lot more tobacco/nicotine but sometimes I can go a whole day without any and feel fine. So with that there is probably a lot more going on in cigarettes than tobacco.
