Wow! Was it EVER full! @inswva PM incoming :)

Just a note - the V1 Pico Squeeze is for a loved one who is off cigarettes because of vaping! Miraculous and wonderful... the "squonkability" and small size of the device, as well as its simplicity, seems to have done the trick. But the one I got her is broken. If you have one of these sitting...

Looking for a V1 but may settle for a V2. Prefer black or silver.

Six months! Wow. Well, maybe that's the ticket.

Excellent post. You are absolutely correct about pneumonia, but I wasn't in a hospital. Went to an outpatient facility and was released to go home shortly after surgery. It's possible that I aspirated while under anesthesia... or... the pre-surgery vaping was a mistake. No one will be able to...

Appreciate this detailed response. I too vape (well... vaped) high watt, low nic, smooth (non harsh) DTL, airy style, craft my own coils, and completely customize everything including coil placement, wicking, air, etc. I’m glad you found something that works for you and agree about the core...

I can, but I don't get any real enjoyment from it... It's a worthy approach in a pinch if you are really craving nicotine, but for me the joy of vaping has more to do with the inhale-exhale piece. That's why I was able to quit smoking and switch to vaping so easily - it completely satisfied that...

A little more follow up - after the surgery I was diagnosed with pneumonia (as mentioned), and I’m still struggling with symptoms almost a month after completing the antibiotic treatment. Still no idea if my vaping contributed to the pneumonia to begin with, but I will say that I was feeling a...

Thanks for this reminder! I forgot this was an option... tried it this morning, and after a few puffs just holding the vapor in my mouth (no inhale into lungs) with 3 mg liquid, I did feel the nicotine. It's definitely not as satisfying or enjoyable as inhaling, but an almost-harm-free way to...

Hi everyone - checking back in to offer some follow-up. The surgery itself went fine and I am healing well and back on my feet. The month before surgery, I dutifully vaped only zero nic juice (because of the known problems nicotine causes with healing) and refrained from drinking alcohol. I was...

Three days without nic - not as bad as I thought it would be. :)

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the insights and comments. @Baditude great to see you again buddy - hope all is well in your world :)

Call your representatives and call the White House. Call every day! Tell them "I vape; I vote. I quit smoking using flavored vaping products and SAVED A LIFE. Rethink the direction the government is headed with respect to vapor products, and start honoring the science instead of the money trail...

^ You guys are right, and what you are hitting on is the great divide when it comes to knowledge in the medical industry with respect to nicotine, vaping, and human health. There is still so much misinformation about nicotine, even among researchers, educators and health professionals...

Yes, nicotine itself, even outside the combustible environment of a cigarette, impacts healing. Nicotine causes vasoconstriction (restriction in blood flow) which increases the incidence of complications at the wound site through "tissue perfusion." So if you want to heal quickly with the least...

I told them I vape 3 mg ejuice and they had no idea what to recommend, except to lump it in with the standard no-cigarettes-before-and-after-surgery advice. That's why I am here to see what long-time vapers have learned from their own surgery experiences.

Great information - appreciate it! Good to see you as well :-) I think I'm really OK without the nicotine - for me, it's the inhale-exhale component that I crave (what a strange addiction!). However today I vaped zero nic, plain VG for a few minutes with a glass of wine after dinner, and...

@Horselady154 - I did ask my doctor and he was clueless. Most surgeons think vaping is the same as smoking, and they get even more confused when you start talking about concentrations of nicotine in ejuice. They truly don't know. Hence my coming here where vapers who have been vaping for years...

Hi fam. Have a surgery coming up in 25 days and I typically vape 3 mg flavored juice. In preparation for the surgery, at the advice of my surgeon and from doing online research, I understand I need to stop inhaling nicotine now. Nicotine in any form messes with the healing process, and I don't...

2 mm on the UFO and 2.5 mm on the 22.
