Can i vape after a tooth extraction?! HELP.

[gandymarsh]

I'm guessing it was a molar? I smoked after I had a molar extracted by working the side of my tongue over the hole before I took a drag. I didn't get dry socket.

 

[leftyandsparky]

I did but I put gauze over the socket.

Yeah but vwhat if ibhave maximum airflow in the tank? I gave it a baby test and it felt like nothing was even there

Airflow has nothing to do with it, it's the suction effect that causes dry sockets (ie: putting your mouth on the drip tip or cigarette bud and sucking the vapor/smoke through it)

A wet washcloth works too. And +1 @QcVaper

Bottom line, your Dentist said no.....so take the advise you paid for don't......Up to you....you will be the one living with the effect one way or the other.

I had my left front tooth pulled to make room for the drip tip to get closer to my lungs.

When I had a tooth pulled, I found that keeping my lips parted a bit while inhaling kept the suction to a minimum and let me continue vaping without a problem.

I believe it would not be a problem after 48 hours. If you are still hesitating, my advice to you keep the area wet as suggested in above comments.

It's really easier than it sounds! I'm not kidding! LOL, when will I learn to think like other people...

They tried to makes us think like them years ago...
We chose NOT too.

OP: Nic patch or drip liquid on fingertip and lick.

Cheers

just put a small drop of juice on the finger tip and lick it.... do a small drop.. this is what I do when I cant vape.

When I had a tooth pulled, I did this with a cigarette AND chomped down on a wet piece of gauze to keep the socket covered. It was uncomfortable, awkward, and not very satisfying, but no dry socket.

I'd still advise to hold out, if you can. The stories I heard about dry socket are the stuff of nightmares.

Dry socket is what you need to avoid, Gentle MTL vaping worked for me.
Contrary to what one would assume, good oral hygene is something you need to avoid following a tooth extraction. No mouthwash and no flossing until the gum has time to heal.

The suction would be stronger with lower airflow as you'd have to pull harder.

I was still smoking when I had two wisdom teeth out, and I poked holes in my cigarette with a pin. I lost some of the smoke (I enjoyed watching the smoke stream out of the pinholes), but I got enough to make the craving manageable while decreasing the suction. It worked for me, but there are no guarantees. The very thought of dry socket makes me cringe, and I've never even had it.

Tuesday around 3PM i got a tooth pulled. (#5 if that even matters). It is now Friday a little after noon. I usually smoke cigs but recently have been making a switch to vaping. Do you guys think im safe? Ive been really careful and its healing pretty well ALREADY. I really dont want dry socket. I have a asmodus with an aspire tank on it

Welcome and glad you joined.
Might like to call the dentist and ask, your entitled.

Gentle MTL vaping also worked for me. Dentist advised against it.

 

[Kilroy]

Last extraction, I was still a smoker. Tell me to stop that! I was careful and I was lucky but there are risks.

 

[cryptoislyfe]

I have, just be careful not to pull/inhale too hard
