Is Vaping the New Way to Take Your Vitamins?

If you’re vegan, you already know it can be tough to get all your nutrients from foods and cooking alone. Sure, modern grocers now offer an ever-expanding pantry of quick-fix essentials (from coconut mayo to soy protein jerky), but that’s not always enough to cover your vitamin and mineral needs. In this case, certain key supplements can help — such as vitamin B12, “which keeps blood cells healthy and helps make DNA,” says Lisa Young, Ph.D, R.D., an adjunct profession of nutrition at New York University and author of The Portion Teller. “It’s found in all animal products, including dairy,” she says, and that’s often why vegans can fall short in getting the recommended daily amount (2.4 micrograms).

But if you’d rather not pop a pill? Well, there’s a vape for that. Meet the Vitamin Vape, a vaporizer that lets you inhale 28 servings of 500 micrograms of vitamin B12. It’s free of nicotine, caffeine and sugar, and might increase energy levels. (Still, experts say that vaping in general needs more research, which is something to keep in mind). Here, we connect with founder George Michalopoulos to get his personal take on the new generation of vaping.

“I was vegan at the time and someone had given me a vape to try. I really enjoyed the clouds and flavors, but didn’t want to consume nicotine or any other drugs. Looking into it further, I discovered that B12 inhalation research dating back to the 1950s and 1960s showed that inhaling vitamin B12 can be hundreds of times more effectively absorbed than pills, so that solved two of things at once — getting more B12 to supplement my vegan diet, and enjoying vaping without the drugs.”

Finished and Unfinished Fretboards The guitar community is torn in a debate about whether the material of a fretboard makes any difference. Some believe that a rosewood fretboard is markedly different from ebony, while others say there’s hardly any difference. But when it comes to cleaning, you will need to be cautious. Primarily, the focus is on fretboard cleaning, but other guitar parts are involved, like the neck and tuning pegs. And if your electric guitar has a fretboard that uses unfinished wood, things are tricky, demanding extreme caution. So, it’s recommended to oil unfinished fretboards for obvious reasons.
