"You should vape meth"
Tisk, tisk Gaffy. You cant really be a Harm Reduction advocate if you're advocating graduating from Nicotine to Methamphetamine because a guy isn't digging his vape like he once did.
As others have alluded to, vaping Nicotine and smoking it through Tobacco products are more different than one would think.
Nicotine juice runs from weak to raging bull strength. There is a wide range. People cant detect vapes generally if not seen directly. Vapes can be used inside. This is a big one.
I think the gradual ban of smoking indoors led to a major reduction in the amount of smokers and reduced the number of cigarettes smoked per capita drastically. Waking up and immediately lighting a smoke in bed is a thing of the past.
Vaping can be done virtually anywhere, including school. Both normal smokers and the uninitiated have found that the combination of being able to vape inside and being able to vape gnarly strength nicotine juice, can lead to extreme addiction and tolerance.
I used my little brother's vape last week and I really felt like I could've passed out after two pills. Meanwhile, he is hitting it like a baby does a pacifier. I imagine trying to quit this dual habit is quite difficult.
So I guess my point is OP, that you're probably tolerant to the level of Nicotine you're using. People who smoke cigarettes like myself typically get a tiny buzz when we wake up and smoke our first one. However, most smoked cigarettes have only a slight psychoactive effect and the practice is more compulsive than anything.
Some say they need to smoke a cigarette when they're anxious. I'm not a researcher, but how much of that anxiety relief is a result of temporarily ending cravings for Nicotine.
Sorry I'm up on my soapbox guys. OP I really think you're just tolerant. Perhaps if you used less you would experience a more pronounced effect. I would recommend this highly as opposed to obtaining a higher Nicotine vehicle as some do
