PhattyMemberSo, seeing as there's not a great deal of information out there on using nicotine, I've taken it upon myself to play the part of a lab rat and try it out for a week.I've been exposed to nicotine in the past. I've smoked tobacco mixed with weed on numerous occasions and I was also exposed to second hand smoke A LOT growing up.First impressions: 17/2/13I snapped 2mg stick of the gum in half and I'm currently chewing it/leaving it at the side of my mouth.It took 10-15 minutes to 'kick in' before I felt anything.So far, I've got a tingle in my mouth and a slight buzz in the right side of my brain. No nausea, vomiting, ill feelings or cravings for a 20 pack. So far, so good.

FairyGuestThank you lab rat.Other than reporting stim symptoms, how will you measure results/progress?

Well I average a pound a week in weight loss, I got weighed this morning and I'll get weighed again next Sunday. It's not the most accurate measure, but if I lose more than a pound then I'd say that goes in favour of nicotine as a fat burner.

FairyGuestCool 🙂 And well done on the fatloss so far!

PhattyMember18/2/13I took half a stick (1mg) again this morning before training along with 100mg caffeine. I didn't notice any mental 'buzz' today but I had an extremely good workout.Probably unrelated.I'm gonna chew the other half around 2pm.

FairyGuestNicotine is a stim, it will help with workouts.

Scope75GuestI chew a 4mg gum at 830am and with 40oz coffee it gets my mornings Rocking!!!I'll have another piece around 15-30 minutes before my PM workout.

FairyGuestWhoa, that's a LOT Scope. That may be more than is useful.

I tried 2mg or a half piece and it didn't get me going like 4mg does. If I could use less I would but for me 4mg puts a little pep in my step, it's good clean energy, and I feel good working all day too. I only use it mon/wed/fri

FairyGuestWell, I guess if it feels good. You don't need to be feeling the buzz for it to up your metabolism though.

I know that but I like the extra boost 4mg gives me. My head is clear and I have loads of clean energy without a crash.4 weeks on with a minimum of 2 weeks off before another 4 weeks.

decoy5657MemberI'm about to get a pack of gum…. Out of curiosity I wanted to know how much nicotine is in a single cigarette. (Never smoked anything in 29 years)I found:
One deep drag on a cigarette can provide 0.35 mg nicotine. Therefore, one cigarette can provide 3.5 mg of nicotine and twenty one cigarettes provide 73.5 mg of nicotine.

PhattyMemberI took the full 2mg of nicotine this morning with 200mg caffeine. I didn't feel a buzz from it but I feel it definitely works as a pre-workout supplement.

Alexander BaurParticipantIs anybody chewing a nicotine gum together with a normal gum for more chewing mass or are you all taking pure nicotine gum :o?

I don't chew it very much. I just leave it at the side of my mouth for the most part.
