I just want to add that following Drifter74's advice, I ordered an Ego-T and it is everything he says it is! It's much, much better than the previous e-cigs I've tried. I simply wanted to thank you again for that info. I might finally be able to quit smoking, that's unbelievable!!

As for the flavours, I like cappucino, chocolate, vanilla, blueberry... Unfortunately I don't have enough $$ to try all of them, but so far I haven't tried one that I didn't like.

This is interesting reading thanks, I'm gonna have to do a little research on this, I have what the specialist last time called Severe ADD, I was born with a brain that certainly doesn't function right at all, I know stimulants won't help all things but they certainly help to speed my brain up & feel closer to most other peoples speed of processing plus increase my motivation massively. I tried Ritalin in the past but the negative effects that came with it were awful both physically & mentally. I did once try part of a Nicotine patch but from what I can recall it made me feel poisoned & I couldn't sleep that night after taking it off, I think it was the next day my mood was pretty low.

Wondering if other types of oil can be heated in any of these e-cigs you know of? Since I once tried another edible alternative treatment in a really low dose & it really helped me out, problem was I could never get the dosage right.

nicotine affects several different neurotransmitters, but nicotine is not the only cause of intoxication from cigarettes. tobacco smoke contains the MAOIs norharman, anabasine, anatabine, and nornicotine contributing to increased synaptic levels of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. thuis is why regular smokers of cigarettes do not receive relief from w/d or intoxication from just nicotine alone (i.e. e cigs)

It's not only MAO inhibitory action produced by other tobacco constituents. They also contribute to the effects felt while smoking cigarettes by activating nAChRs so it's an additive action causing dopamine to fire at neurons in the region of the reward system. And these other substances aren't really that weak or something as there have been some researches done and it was shown they do cause more self-administration in rats.

I knew it!! We are so brainwashed by the media etc to think that nicotine is the only active ingredient in cigarettes. This explains why nicotine replacement therapies often don't work. I read a recent study that found that nicotine replacement was no more effective than cold turkey or anything else in helping people quit smoking. When I use an e-cig, nicotine gum, or any other nicotine outside of regular cigarettes, it just doesn't feel the same as smoking and doesn't satisfy me. Granted I do find it better than absolutely nothing though when I have to not smoke (on a plane etc).
I also tried organic natural non-additive tobacco and felt unsatisfied too. It was supposed to have close to the same level of nicotine but less of certain other compounds. People usually find natural tobacco less addictive. I wonder if some of the additives added by tobacco companies are responsible for added addictiveness? If so, this could explain part of why we are mis-informed about nicotine being the sole active/addictive compound, as tobacco companies would never want to admit that they purposely make cigarettes more addictive.

I vape all day at my desk at work, plus on the drive in/home.

I'm surprised they let you smoke them at work! Where I live e-cigs are increasingly being prohibited in places where regular cigarettes aren't allowed. Which defeats part of the point IMO. For example, they are banned on planes and in airports.

Since I once tried another edible alternative treatment in a really low dose & it really helped me out, problem was I could never get the dosage right.

What was this alternative treatment? I have ADD and find smoking only very mildly helpful. I am always looking for alternative treatments, as I don't like the traditional stimulants available in my country (nor would I want to take them continuously long-term).
