You will absorb more nicotine by holding in vapor. Now that I think about it, I have spent many an hour in saunas, so you couldn't possibly vape enough to drown...

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yes, you are and have no fear of drowning. With out getting too technical (because I'm a geologist and not a respritory technician, so I couldn't get too technical): the nicotine is being absorbed into your body via the mucus linings of your mouth, throat and lungs. The longer you hold the vape the more interaction the ultra-fine aerosol droplets (vapor) have to interact and pass their payload (NIC) to those linings. The mechanism of this is two fold: a) the droplets are very fine and the mucosal linings are very good at filtering and absorbing these fine particles. b) The vapor itself is a stable colloidal aerosol and is resistive to any immediate changes in state. Meaning: It likes to stay as "vapor". You can see this by slowly filling a large cup, glass or bowl with exhaled vapor. In a restful room without air currents to move it around the vapor will stay in it's suspension. As a matter of fact, to test this I've had a glass full of vapor sitting in front of me for the entire time it's taken to type this and I've seen no appreciable changes in it's apparent density. It still looks super thick and delicious!
Hope this helps and if I've flubbed this up someone please correct me.
