Not OP but I have extensive experience with it. I used it often in college (10+ years ago), both with and without theanine and other similar substances in my stack. The effects were noticeable and much less jittery than from nicotine.
Positive: My working memory felt faster and less error-prone. I've always been good at mental math. Speed is my strength but I make lots of mistakes and things sometimes seem to "pop" out of my WM against my will. This seemed to (qualitatively) happen less often. I remember that I had some quantitative metrics on two-digit by two-digit multiplication that showed positive results, but the data is long lost to time.
Negative: Mild to strong nausea and light-headedness. It often felt like I had vaped too much. This was never bad enough to negate the positive effects.
Overall I think it's a useful performance enhancer for time-sensitive intellectual work, but I'm afraid it may be too strong for daily use. You will see rapid desensitization if using more than sporadically.
Galantamine has similar effects to nictonine without the nervousness, and lasts hours longer. It is nootropic, cognition enhancing with few side effects. It's a natural product, so here in the US, it falls into the dietary supplement category. Sharpened memory and attention span, and enhanced dreaming for many.
And it can't even be erased with backspace.
Basically if you're streaming or having any kind of observation they're gonna see your email.
