Reliable sellers of nicotine products?

This isn't something covered in the Beginner's guide, the FAQ, and it isn't something that gets discussed. Does anyone have any reliable sellers for things like nicotine patches or gums in bulk?

Do you mean that each piece of gum is equivalent to 4 cigs? I'd say it is more like 2. A cigarette delivers a little more than 1mg of nicotine per cig. The gum is 4mg, but not 100% efficient through your mucous membranes. So each 2mg of gum is about 1 cigarette.
I think it is difficult to compare the two methods of delivery. It is like comparing rubbing cocaine on your gums to cocaine delivered via IV or smoking crack. The nicotine hits hard and fast when you take a drag off a cigarette.

For sure. But the gum manufacturers state that 2mg is the equivalent of 1 cig. There is never going to be a real 100% equivalent, since the ROA and lack of MAOIs play a huge role in effects. But that is what they have decided with the FDA that the conversion should be.
