Hello all,
I just wanted to report in and say that I am having a lot of success with this method. I haven't reached the point where things are ideal in regards to my methylcobalamin source/amount but it has been a great insight into what is possible for me with higher levels of it.
I have the V2 Series 3, using bulk PG/VG, and Methyl B12 Mega Drops (non-ideal for sure). I have not ever used or been around any other type of vaporizers so I can't comment on it's quality that accurately but from my experience with it alone it has been an incredibly solid device. The draw is definitely hard and it could possibly be a deal breaker for some but it's very rugged so far and performs well consistently (note I've only owned it for about 9 days but have used it heavily in that time). I've learned how to work around the draw, I just can't draw at my pace, I have to kind of draw at its pace.
I fill the tank half way with PG then add in about 8-10 drops mb12 (~8-10mg) and then a little VG to smooth out the smoking experience. I bought some flavored juice if I feel like using some. Not necessary.
It has shown me that whatever I was doing with sublinguals was getting me substantially less then I require with my personal biochemistry. I wasn't even coming close to saturation previously. It has also shown me that mb12 is completely dependent upon methylfolate, which I require a great deal of, about 30 mg daily. Whenever folate levels drop off not only does more mb12 not do anything it completely falls off with the folate.
The amount I'm using requires long vaping sessions to experience the effects and I'm not sure I can even vape fast enough to hit a saturation point so my concentration seems to be insufficient. I'd like to get 20-30mg in my tank and see how that goes. Ideally it would be nice to vape for 10 minutes and be saturated for a good 6-8 hours until more is needed. With what I've experienced so far it seems that would be fairly viable with that amount.
An interesting thing to note is that the additives are certainly having an effect on me as well. I looked them up briefly and they appear fine to inhale (I don't plan on using this long term, and I was pretty excited to try so i went with it - probably should not do this at home if avoidable). As I vape the contents of the tank go from a jolly-rancher red type color and clarity to a dark blood red. Continuing to vape this concentrate of who knows what does lead to brain fog. I was adding more PG to this concentrate to squeeze out the remaining bits of mb12 but I've discontinued doing this.
So moving forward I might trail this powder:

Others have used it with mediocre success but with how much better this is for me than sublinguals I'm willing to give it a shot. Ideally I would find a 5 star quality methylcobalamin at a near affordable price (who doesn't want to find this?). If this powder fails I will probably move on to B12 Oil, but I don't see it failing completely. Even this small amount from my mb12 drops is doing quite a lot.
It hasn't been a perfect experience and I think I have a lot more going on aside from just mb12 deficiency (ammonia / SOD / ON/ONOO) but this area of my treatment may very well be nearing an end point. Things such as eating throw everything off, any lack of sleep, and even just randomly waking up feeling like crap but when the planets are aligned and everything else is taken care of this really makes me feel like I could some day get this thing into a genuine remission.
And personally I just enjoy this delivery method, I just love the fact that I can pick it up anywhere, at any time and saturate myself if I feel I need it. No injections, no annoying sublinguals in your mouth for hours a day, and no oil to micro manage all day avoiding smearing / wiping off.
Good luck.
