So Did not make it yesterday but making it today. Self-Test showed Negative. Since the day I quit. I drank 1.5 gallons of water a day. For the 1st 3 days I took 500mg of Niacin every 5 hours. With that 1000mg of Vitamin C and Cranberry Pills. 4th Day I took 1000mg of Niacin every 5 hours on top of everything else. I Did not change my diet really nor did I exercise. I cut out all soda and strictly drank water from the 18th till now. I have a bottle of Dr. Pepper I will drink prior to my test to help darken my Urine. I will update once again when I actually get my test results back.

Exactly how many days did you not smoke? I smoke over a pack a day, insane I know and am 5'7" and 270lbs. I have a sensitive urine test. How much time will I need? Thanks

I disagree with your calculations and am wondering where you got these?
Regarding half-life, this is a good way to figure it out, in my opinion, BUT you’re leaving out info: Cotinine half- life is roughly 17hrs in saliva- that means roughly 100 hours or 4 days, not 30! In 17 hrs you have roughly 1/2 Cotinine in your system, in 34hrs 1/4 and so on. You can search for a half-life drug calculator on-line to figure.

Thanks so much for posting this! My test is on Thursday, a swab, for pre- employment. I’m hopeful! I’m giving it 96hrs, just in case, so encouraged by your results! Will post when I get results back.

Thought I'd share my strategy for passing my cotinine test. I've been only vaping for 4 years now using a 18mg atomizer cartridge ecig. I vape one cartridge per day. Starting 9 days before my test date, I stopped vaping completely (yes it was super hard the first 3-4 days). All I did was to drink approx 1/2 liter of fresh grapefruit juice each day along with a reasonable amount of water. Testing my urine daily with cotinine test strips - after day 5 I was negative each time. And today, I got my test results - PASSED (Negative for cotinine) with a lab range value of 0.000-0.1999 ug/mL.

I Stopped 7 days before my Test. I bought some test strips form Amazon for $10 and monitored my urine twice a day. Around day 5/6 I started noticing the double band on the strips and realized I should be good to go for my surgery.

Smoking tobacco isn't illegal. How dare them try and control what we do by screening us with these test for employment opportunities.

Thank you. I needed to hear that. To be truthful it has been very hard to stop smoking. But I am grateful that I have 5 days under my belt. I test tomorrow so that I can have surgery, but I am going to just continue drinking water, eating healthy, working out and pray that I pass. I promise I have tried and tried and tried it has been very hard. But GOD knows my heart and all of my efforts and I just pray all goes well tomorrow.
