The Science of Nicotine Addiction

How To Quit Smoking
Anyone who has been a smoker for a long time knows that it’s an addictive habit. If you go too long without a cigarette, you start feeling that familiar craving that urges you to have a cigarette as soon as possible. This craving is intense and uncomfortable though, more like a really deep itch that you have to scratch. Smoking is addictive on two fronts: physical and psychological. The psychological aspect of addiction to smoking is actually about the habitual nature of it. But the physical part of smoking is due to the presence of nicotine, because nicotine is very addictive and causes physical dependency. However, although the first few cigarettes may give you a “high” feeling, future cigarettes that you smoke won’t usually give you that good feeling anymore.…

Convection vs Conduction in Vaporizers

Quit Smoking Resources
Convection and conduction are two different ways of heating things. In general terms, conduction involves passing heat around an item to heat it up. Convection requires that a heating element or heat source touch the item to be heated. So what does this mean for vaporizers? How Conduction Works in Vaporizers Most modern vaporizers use conduction to heat whatever is put inside them. This is because it generally allows for more precise temperature control. The intensity of the heat waves can be increased or decreased with a touch of a button, and the resulting change is nearly instantaneous. Popular vaporizers like the Volcano use the conduction method. The other advantage of using conduction is that it helps to avoid combustion. The point of using a vaporizer rather than a cigarette, joint…
