So im not getting that "nicotine buzz" that im used to. Im hearing that its because a nicotine buzz is really from all the other chemicals in a cigarrette.

Fact...or fiction??

I'd guess that you're not getting a "nicotine buzz" because you're not inhaling as much nicotine as you're accustomed to. Just a hunch.

There are other chemicals in cigarettes besides nicotine, but I'm pretty sure most of the "buzz" is nicotine. Some is probably the effect of actual smoke in the lungs. Higher voltage or higher nicotine juice will get you closer to the cigarette buzz, although it might not be identical (sometimes vaping makes me dizzy, something cigarettes hardly ever did).

Some say, rightly so, imo, that the carbon monoxide in cigs will, well, cut oxygen and that can make you light headed but.... if you vape 24mg or 36mg when your tolerance for nic is at 12-18mb (or lower) you'll very likely feel a reaction and it can be 'buzzy'.

22 years of smoking and I don't think I have ever felt anything like a nick buzz. I did get light headed a couple of times, but that lasted only about a couple of seconds then it was gone. Either I'm immune to nicotine or it's false. Also vaping strait 36mg and don't feel anything either. Starting to think that it's a fiction. I don't even get into a better mood.:confused: I must be broken.

Smoked for 44 years, the last 10-20 at 2 packs/day non-filter Pall-Mall, never felt anything I would describe as a buzz, been vaping 30, 48 & 60 mg/ml for >5 weeks now and still haven't felt a buzz.

About 30 years ago I went cold turkey for 30 days. The 1st cig I smoked when I finally said to-hell-with-it was kinda like getting whanged up side the head with a length of 4x4. I could feel my scalp tightening up and I felt like I was going to fall over. No way I would describe it as a buzz, but that was the instant I realized I was hooked on something pretty powerful.

Get a 6.00 bottle of 0 mg nic juice. Try to sit down and calmly watch TV while vaping it. After failing, try 24 mg and do the same thing. You will have your answer :)

Perhaps the word "buzz" doesn't mean the same thing to all people...

I know if I've gone for a while without smoking and then hit one hard (an analog), it will make me dizzy and if I smoke it quickly, it will make me nauseous.

A "buzz" to me is the feeling I get juuuuuuuuust as I start to feel the alcohol in a drink...or smoking "other" stuff as I did in my wayward youth (many, many years ago, BTW). :D

Just my .02.

People who never smoked but used snus or other forms of tobacco also talk of initial buzz. I believe the problem of not having one is drug tolerance, not anything specific to cigarettes. Easy way to check: Lay off the drug for as long as you can manage. Like one day or at least a long night and part of the morning you can make yourself busy enough to withstand the craving.

Then have some vape. 18, 14, 24, 36 whatever you are used to. The buzz should be back. If it is, than you know for sure whatť took it away from you. Tolerance. Like when you were still on analogs. The first one in the morning was great. The thirtieth in the evening was nothing like that.

Definitely all the other stuff.
Cigarette corporations have spent decades of r&d, with Frankentonian chemists and assistants named Igor, working on ways to keep users hooked.

Do you think those 40+ carcinogens and those 4,000 to 7,000 extra chemicals came about by accident?
