Ok now when i speak of nicotine effects I'm talking about the chemical effects not the combustion effects of nicotine. So what exactly are the effects nicotine itself would be putting on a users body(and mind)?

-Thank yah

ps. I have wikied it and I'm not sure if it is talking about the combustional effect or purely nicotine

Um, why do you want to know?
This just sounds fuckin stupid.

Cardiovascular System
The effects of nicotine on the cardiovascular system
mimic those seen after activation of the sympathoadrenal
system, and they are principally the result of a release
of epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal
medulla and adrenergic nerve terminals. These
effects include a positive inotropic and chronotropic effect
on the myocardium as well as an increase in cardiac
output. In addition, both systolic and diastolic blood
pressures are increased secondary to stimulation of the
sympathoadrenal system. These effects are the end result
of a summation of adrenergic and cholinergic stimulation.

Respiratory System
Low doses of nicotine stimulate respiration through activation
of chemoreceptors in the aortic arch and carotid
bodies,while high doses directly stimulate the respiratory
centers. In toxic doses, nicotine depresses respiration by
inhibiting the respiratory centers in the brainstem and by
a complex action at the receptors at the neuromuscular
junction of the respiratory muscles.At these neuromuscular
receptors, nicotine appears to occupy the receptors,
and the end plate is depolarized.After this, the muscle accommodates
and relaxes. These central and peripheral
effects paralyze the respiratory muscles.

Central Nervous System
The actions of nicotine on the central nervous system
are the result of a composite of stimulatory and depressant
effects.These can include tremors, convulsions, respiratory
stimulation or depression, and release of antidiuretic
hormone from the pituitary. Nausea and emesis
are frequently observed after the initial use of nicotine
in the form of tobacco smoke. However, tolerance to
these effects rapidly develops. This is in contrast to the
effects of nicotine on the cardiovascular system, where
tolerance develops much more slowly.

Other Systems
Additional effects of nicotine include an increase in gastric
acid secretion and an increase in the tone and motility
of the gastrointestinal tract. These effects are produced
because of the predominance of cholinergic input
to these effector systems.

Vaporizer (http://minicigarette.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=2)

So are there any negative?Besides dependency btw thanks

I almost want to get one just so i can smoke in the bullshit bars we have here.

yea, it's been done with weed for years

Are you guys talking about using a vaporizer for tobacco? what exactly would the difference be? would it filter out some of the toxic chemicals?

It'd be healthier.

No, they're talking about smoking electronic cigarettes...

I love the feeling of that first ciggarette of the day.It's just like an instant relief.

this is kind of interesting...

by all means it shouldnt cause cancer... if memory serves its more the radioactivity of the smoke than the actual tar in it that causes cancer....

1 cartridge being equal to a pack of cigarettes, and 5 of them costing 10 dollars, its fairly economic...

might be nice to own one for the hell of it, and smoking in places where people are bitchy about it..

When you smoke a ciggy real fast without taking outside breaths too often you get headfucked for a minute or so.

yes, headfucked

Pure nico ?

Heavy smoker :

2 drops : Death in 8 hours.
4 drops : Death in 3 hours.
8 drops : Instant death (seconds/minutes, depends on body weight and strenght)

Light/non smoker :

2 drops : Death in 3 hours.
4 drops : Death in 1 hour.
6 drops : Instant death (ditto)

drops isnt really a good measurment, plus a heavy smoker can probably take some nicotine, at least 300 mgs will probably fuck you up(not in a good way) but I think a heavy smoker would survive.

your vaporizing small amounts of it... not like your cracking open the cartridge and drinking it... they say 1 is about the same as a pack of cigarettes... 1-2mg per cigarette is about what is absorbed by the lungs... pretty sure they found out how to regulate it...

Has anyone here ever tried one of those electronic cigarettes?

Maybe I shall order one and give it a shot for the interest of totse

GO FOR IT!

probably similar to these things right?
basically vaporized tobacco, at least from those eclipse cigarettes, tastes like shit. just really gross. i'd try out a 5 or 6 dollar pack of those before throwing down the 70 bucks, but its really gross. really.

Thats different, eclipse are vaporizing actual tobacco.
