I have been ADDICTED to nicotine for years I have never felt any pain relief Ever from nicotine. Please forget about nicotine for pain , you might end up finding it impossible to stay away from it. Unfortunately I know this first hand Hope this helps??

thanks for the replies but i'm only interested in what effects the use of e-cigs or more specifically vaping [or vaporization] of nicotine may have upon pain. smoking introduces so many more chemicals and gases into the body that it would be difficult if not impossible to determine if any reactions are due to the nicotine or the other chemicals and/or gases,.
vaporization of nicotine via e-cigs results in almost just nicotine being introduced thus a better chance of isolating nicotine effects. so if any members have personal experience or knows of studies of the nicotine vape response i'd be interested in reading about them. thanks.

if you a person like me in search of the BEST pain relief i can tell you something that works great but....(looks both ways) (whispers) it may be illegal. pot i have found to be the best medication for the burning nerve pain we suffer. for me the benefit way outweighs the risk. i get a little every week and i went to the local headshop and bought a one hitter. i do not smoke myself stupid. i just take one hits till i am comfortable and then i'm good for about an hour and a half. if you prefer to not smoke it (i.e. health concerns) i hear you can get a much longer effect crushing it up and making it into cookie dough. for me i just smoke it. just my 2 cents.
