    How does Nicovape work?

    Nicovape Q is a vape product that has nicotine as an active ingredient, and it works as a form of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).

    It delivers nicotine to the body using a vaping device. Nicotine, when inhaled, involves stimulating the neural nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. As such, there’s a release of dopamine in the brain.[1] The hand-to-mouth action from vaping devices also replaces that of traditional cigarettes.[2]

    Overall, Nicovape Q (Nicotine Vaping Product) may play a role in reducing withdrawal symptoms commonly experienced by regular smokers during periods of smoking cessation.

    As with any prescription medication, before ordering Nicovape Q (Nicotine Vaping Product) online you must consult with your doctor who may provide the required prescription. Your doctor will determine whether Nicovape Q (Nicotine Vaping Product) is suitable for you by considering your unique health profile and needs.

    How do you take Nicovape?

    To begin using Nicovape Q (Nicotine Vaping Product), simply inhale through the mouthpiece of the vaping pod. This will then automatically power up the device, eliminating the need for manual activation.[3]

    For optimal performance, guidelines state that you should gently draw air and vapour from the pod for one to two seconds, followed by inhalation. Afterwards, it’s important to allow at least twenty seconds between puffs or inhales for the pod to replenish with liquid.

    After use, the Nicovape Q (Nicotine Vaping Product) automatically enters standby mode, ready for your next use. This means that there is also no need to manually turn the device off.

    Who can take Nicovape?

    Nicovape Q (Nicotine Vaping Product) requires a prescription and is one of a number of quit smoking medication options that your doctor will consider.

    What’s more, since it works as nicotine replacement therapy, it should not be used by non-smokers or individuals who are not reliant on the use of nicotine. Nicovape Q (Nicotine Vaping Product) also has additional ingredients like propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin in addition to nicotine. Please do not take this product if you are allergic to any of these ingredients.[4]

    Again, it should be emphasised that taking Nicovape Q (Nicotine Vaping Product) should be done in close consultation with a doctor. This ensures that the treatment aligns with your unique health needs and circumstances.

Side effects from nicotine use can include changes in fasting blood glucose levels,[5] a risk of cancer,[6] acute nicotine toxicity,[7] and the possibility of nicotine dependence.[8] Nicotine vaping has also been implicated in cases of acute lung injury (EVALI) and acute eoisonophilic pneumonia however the exact causative agent is unclear ie: could be from THC or other additive components found in unregulated vapes.

    It’s important to be mindful that using other nicotine-containing products alongside Nicovape Q (Nicotine Vaping Product) could lead to nicotine overdose, though this is generally unlikely when used as directed by a doctor.
