Do you use nicotine as a cognitive enhancer, anons? I take one of picrel when I need to plow through boring shit quickly, it gives me a 1 hour burst of focus without the lung damage of cigarettes.

Yes, I use the same lozenges but they're hit-or-miss. Some times it just leaves me with a headache all day, sometimes it sours my stomach, and sometimes every problem I'm facing melts away and I feel incredible for hours.

I used to smoke 2 packs of cigs a day and all it did was make me feel jittery if anything.

The trick with stimulants is to not use any, get enough sleep and exercise. Your body will adapt and you'll find that you can just focus when you need to. Any gains you get with them are temporary or in any case miniscule. Like nigga just plan your time.

That's interesting, I've never experienced this effect.

Yes. 2mg twice a day. Currently taking a break from it because I've achieved tolerance, I am now instead taking caffeine pills.

Caffeine pills are underrated. My whole day feels amazing when I pop a time-release pill in the morning.

Didn't know there were time release caffeine pills, that's very interesting. I only need a small amount of my time to be boosted though, so a caffeine pill/couple of nicotine gums is enough for me.

yeah, genuinely best shit out there excluding amphetamines. I take 1-2mg every other day. One of those losenge dispensers gets me almost a year's worth of dosage(I use a pill cutter to split 4s to 2s and 2s to 1s so double the dosage number and erryother means double how long they last), it's the best bang for buck nootropic out there.

I vape. I just like the act of vaping. Though I think it might not be a good idea with Corona around, but whatever.

Nicotine isn't really my goal. It's an added bonus. I prefer the effects of its metabolites. Specifically, cotinine.
I also like th act of vaping.

Since e-liquid contains the nicotine without the MAOIs of cigarettes and other bs, the risk of dependence is way lower. Withdrawals are comparable to stopping a coffee addiction. Hard but don't last long. Mitigating this effect, I usually get the guns or just slowly lower my nic dose.

No but I've chewed nicotine gum/lozenges every day for the last 12 years since I stopped smoking at 25.

Yes. I smoke cigarettes throughout the day and occasionally I also smoke meth when I need brief periods of extreme performance.
