drowning is suffocation...just thought i'd note that

All I have found on the whole water thing is A. your body loses quite a bit of water just by breathing (up to a liter a day) and B. water vapor displaces oxygen molecules so you get less oxygen with every breath. my info is not totally accurate because I only spent 10 minutes looking online.
I did ask my wife who is a nurse about it and she said it's probably nothing to worry about because your body would let you know if you had water build up in your lungs quite quickly.

I recently had a health scare that put me in the hospital with several cardiac and lung tests.

After FULL scans of my lungs, I can attest that I had NOTHING in there at all. At the time I had been vaping around 2 months or so. A nice aside... my lungs had already significantly cleared up from my 20+ years of smoking thanks to vaping.

I'm sorry you were hospitalized but Its great to see the sudden benefits that switching to vapor has on even the most hardened of smokers.

Its strange when you think about peoples fear of trying something new. When i started smoking (analogs), I do not remember saying "hmm... I have heard bad things about these so, no thanks, ill pass..." I lit em up! and thats after seeing 2 grandfathers die of lung cancer. The anti-e cig machine is a creative beast.

You'd better tell your friend to never shower. I hear that causes water in the lungs.
