Even without nicotine, they still contain other chemicals. There has not been a lot of research on "vaping" and they are starting to realize that it might be more harmful than they first realized. Even if they are not addictive, they can be habit forming. Straight edge or not, why intentionally start a habit that you don't already have?

Does blu e-cigs contain nicotine?

Yes it does, that is the main purpose of these units: that is to deliver nicotine in a safe(er) way.


What is the comparison between nicotine in cigarette and nicotine in e-cigarette?

This depends on the exact cigarettes and e-cigs involved. Both types of cigarettes contain different amounts of nicotine, though some of the electronic cigarettes contain none at all - depending on which cartridge you use. With the above said, there are other considerations. The electronic cigarette cartridges will often contain more nicotine than a single cigarette because they are made to replace an entire pack or more. However, they might contain less nicotine than the number of real cigarettes they are supposed to replace because waste is minimized and less nicotine is needed to get the same effect.

Can a person overdose on nicotine from an electronic cigarette?

Yes. If a user ingests too much of anything (even water!), it can become toxic. However, with the nicotine amounts found in e-cigs, it would be exceedingly difficult to receive a toxic dose of nicotine, when used as directed. There are electronic cigarettes without nicotine, namely the SMOKeFREE electronic cigarette. So in this circumstance, the answer would be no. However, different brands do contain different levels of nicotine. With regular cigarettes the filter reduces the amount of nicotine one inhales however with electronic cigarettes the nicotine is obsorbed quickly through mouth, throat and lungs. The theory is that because you're inhaling more of nicotine without a filter - the higher volume you're receiving. Some say upwards of 300% volume of regular cigarettes. Research is being done by many organizations interested in knowing the answer to this question - since nicotine is considered a drug by the Food Drug Administration - I'm going to assume one can take too much and result in an overdose. However, only time and research will tell.


Where does the vapor in electronic cigarettes come from?

The vapor comes from the flavored liquid inside the e-cig. The liquid (usually made of a mix of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, with or without nicotine added) is heated just enough to vaporize it (convert it from liquid to gas).
