“… Five Pawns is proud to announce the launch of a new product line of premium fruit flavors that solely utilizes Tobacco Free Nicotine.
What is Tobacco Free Nicotine?
Tobacco Free Nicotine is essentially the same thing as tobacco derived nicotine (TDN) extracted from the tobacco plant. Whether extracted from the tobacco plant, or created in a laboratory environment, the nicotine molecule has the same chemical structure C10H14N2 - 10 carbon atoms, 14 hydrogen atoms, and 2 nitrogen atoms. What makes tobacco free nicotine special though, is the purity that can be achieved (99.9% pure) and the unlimited scalability with minimal impact on the environment, which cannot be said about nicotine derived from a tobacco plant.
Not all Tobacco Free Nicotine is created equally?
This is going to get a little sciency but stay with us here. When you create the nicotine molecule you get two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other. They are S and R Isomers. In tobacco derived nicotine the most prevalent isomer is S and this creates the physiological effect that people enjoy when consuming nicotine. R Isomer, however, is also found in tobacco derived nicotine but in very low amounts and it is widely thought to have no physiological effect on the body.
... You will find nicotine providers selling products with just the R Isomer, the R+S Isomers combined, and also just the S Isomer isolated. Given the fact that it is widely thought that the R Isomer has no physiological effect on the body then you, the consumer, should focus on products that have the highest amount of S in their products.
For example, R+S Isomer Nicotine products would require the consumer to consume twice as much of a product when compared to S only products. So if you typically vape a 6mg of tobacco derived nicotine then you can still vape a 6mg S Isomer tobacco free nicotine and get the same exact effects, but on the other hand, if you use R+S nicotine you will need to buy products twice as potent, like a 12mg, as only half the molecule is active. [my highlights]
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly tobacco free nicotine is virtually tasteless. Much of the tobacco derived nicotine sold today has an astringent cinnamon taste that needs to be masked by artificial sweeteners. As a flavor forward company, Five Pawns adds no Sucralose or artificial sweetener in order to provide customers with a pleasant flavor experience that doesn’t cause fatigue or leave an unpleasant aftertaste.
Five has been working with Contraf-Nicotex-Tobacco (CNT) for the last 5 years and has chosen to partner with CNT to be the supplier of this S Isomer pure form of nicotine. Given all the data we, at Five Pawns, are proud to be one of the first companies to use Tobacco Free S-Isomer Nicotine.
