Well if the EU get their way I’m off down the pound shop for some Indian Colgate “18mg” toothpaste, mix it with VG and away we go!


TOOTHPASTES COME WITH NICOTINE FIX

Govt lab raises red flag on nicotine level of popular brands
BEWARE! Your favourite toothpaste could be laced with cancer- causing nicotine.
Astudy by the Delhi Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research ( DIPSAR) has found that many of the toothpaste manufacturers are adulterating toothpastes and toothpowders with high quantity of nicotine.

” Out of the 24 brands of toothpastes studied in 2011, seven brands – Colgate Herbal, Himalaya, Neem paste, Neem Tulsi, RA Thermoseal, Sensoform and Stoline – were found to contain nicotine,” said Professor S. S. Agarwal of DIPSAR, which is affiliated to the Delhi University and is funded by the Delhi government.
” Colgate Herbal and Neem Tulsi, also a herbal product, surprisingly had 18 and 10 mg of nicotine, which is equivalent to the quantity found in nine and five cigarettes respectively,” Prof Agarwal added.
” Out of the ten brands of toothpowders examined, six – Dabur Red, Vicco, Musaka Gul, Payokil, Unadent and Alka Dantmanjan – were found to contain nicotine. Payokil was found to have the highest 16 mg of tobacco, which is equivalent of what a person consumes after smoking eight cigarettes,” he said.
” Vicco was found to have used tobacco consecutively for three years in its toothpowder, while Dabur Red resumed mixing tobacco in 2011 after stopping it in 2008,” Prof Agarwal said.
The findings were, however, strongly refuted by the manufacturers of some of the dental creams and toothpowders named by DIPSAR. According to the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act, 2003, tobacco cannot be added to non- tobacco products like toothpastes and toothpowders.
Section 7( 5) of the Act lays down that every tobacco package should have nicotine and tar contents along with the maximum permissible limits, which is not being done by these toothpaste manufacturers.
Moreover, as nicotine and tar are carcinogens, the manufacturers should mention them among contents along with their permissible limits on the packages to help people make an informed choice.
Prof Agarwal said that he has now written to the Union ministry of health and family welfare, drug controller- general of India and Delhi drug controller about the rampant tobacco adulteration in toothpowders and toothpastes. ” Addition of tobacco is banned under central excise but it is still being added; do they forward it to the drug controller- general of India? Nicotine action is believed to be responsible for the drug induced feeling of pleasure and addiction, said Prof Agarwal. His toxicology results here: www.hindawi.com/journals/jt/2012/237506/
Quite surprisingly toothpaste manufacturers strongly deny these results to be valid.

Just to clarify i seriously would not personally attempt to vape toothpaste and do not recommend others to try.

consider it yours no nicking required, not sure on the Golden Vamo though

sorry couldn't help myself

Welcome aboard, i am a newbie myself, having only been Vaping since Jan 5th have had loads of great advice from the forum, I currently get my nicotine liquid from here www.vapourtine.co.uk/ code VT40 for 40% off (discount is only on liquid).

The EGO 510 type starter kits from Exhale cigarettes,and Vapeland are good value (I have them both) but there are loads of other sites
www.vapeland.co.uk/ego-t-ce5-stainless-steel-starter-kit-900mah-218-p.asp

www.exhalecigarette.co.uk/eXhale-Ego-CE5-Electronic-Cigarette-Starter-Kit-s/90.htm discount code: 'AAEC' for 12.5% OFF

ecignet.co.uk/11-starter-kits-bundles AAEC20 for 20% off all items


I should point out I am not on commission from any of the sellers, these are just ones I have used and received good service from. Most of the forums warn not to use foreign based sites as regulations on liquids are not the same as in the EU and you could get something dodgy, this does not mean there are not good ones though.

If you come across any good bargains let me know.

Ok, went to Boots at lunchtime purchased the VG, no deionised water so as you said Chrisde just used VG and flavouring, 50/50 was waaaay too runny 60/40 the consistency appears to be getting there. sorry just could not resist but after a whole half hour of steeping (i know, how impatient am i?) i had to christen a clearo with it.

Verdict: loads of vapour, normally vape ready mixed juice heavy on the PG. It is sweeter than I expected and the Vanilla very subtle and delicate after taste, though does need to be stronger tasting but then it was a cheapo from Lidl and no steeping. However I like it!

thanks to all for your input and as for mixing? my journey has begun!

thanks for the calculator link, bookmarked. not expecting great results initially Perpetua just fancy a bit of a play whilst keeping costs down, will try with some other flavourings over the course of time, also have to give my better half some time to get used to me mixing, she must love me a lot as she worries about me using nic, so the no nic option puts her mind at rest.
though i'm sure she will be happy vaping home made juice when convinced of "savings" so a recommendation for a good black cherry flavour will help me in my quest
