Okay, well yesterday I made one of those retarded lightbulb vapes. Having no weed, I decided I would see if it was airtight using some pipe tobacco I had lying around.
I held my zippo under it for about 30 seconds, and a swirly mist filled the bulb. I sucked in (it seemed pretty airtight btw) and felt nothing at all, all I got was the vanilla-y taste from the flavored tobacco.
So I'm wondering if the nicotine actually vaporizes, or if I need to keep the lighter going for longer to reach the optimum temp. Most vapes say 'for tobacco and other herbal use' or something along those lines.
Another question is: is nicotine itself a carcinogen? I've seen people get horrific cases of cancer from dip and chewing tobacco, and I'm curious what chemical is the cause. I read a study that said it might actually be minor radiation exposure due to chemical fertilizers used to yield large tobacco crops, but from what I read, t was only a preliminary study.
So, anyone wanna help me out?
