Can you get a nic buzz from 2nd hand vaping?

I also have many animals in my house and vaping has never bothered them. it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that you get nicotine from 2nd hand vapor. The big tobacco companies are making sure vaping gets a bad rap with bogus articles and studies that are equally as bogus. After all they want your business back.
Considering people who are not used to nicotine get giddy and sick from nicotine and they don't complain when vaping in their presence, I have to suspect that the levels of nicotine from 2nd hand vape are extremely low if any.
Might want to do a search hear on ecf regarding cats and pg, I thought I'd seen a couple threads stating cat's have a reaction to pg.
I am the director of a canine rescue with adult dogs and a cat of my own. The majority of my time is spent with the animals. I do nothing special in regard to vaping other than to be certain they cannot get to the e-liquid or the DIY nic. The only "problem" was the first time I vaped Banana Nut Bread. A couple of the dogs were thrilled mamma was cooking. If there were a litter of new born pups or kittens I would not vape around them in the same way I limited smoking.
Birds could be a concern. Hopefully, someone with birds in the home can share their knowledge.
Please let us know if you have other types of pets so that potential issues can be addressed.

My wife has had a parakeet since before we started vaping. We have not noticed him suffering any ill effects from it. Same noisy bird he's always been.
birds and cats not an issue most are not even near me they are in another room but my dog has been acting weird shivering like she is cold but she seems fine now not sure if she was scared or what. i do have a lot of ventilation windows, fans on, etc..
I find the idea that pets could be affected by this kinda strange. We've had several different animals in the house and none of them ever appeared to be affected by it. The dog is fine. The bird is fine. The rabbit and guinea pig both took it well. Although the guinea pig died due to unrelated circumstances and we had to get rid of the rabbit because my daughter was allergic to him. We haven't had a cat because I don't like them so I can't say how it would affect them.
Then again, I guess animals can be like people in the respect that each one is different and may react differently. Some people have an issue with PG liquids so it would stand to reason that some animals might as well. Or maybe they just hear the popping noises from our attys, cartomizers and/or coils and think, "Oh crap! They're on fire! RUN!"

I am certain, there is nothing to worry about.
There is a "study" that's ben floating around these foroums for quite awhile about second hand vapor.
From what I recall, 98% of the nicotine is absorbed via your mouth and throat when inhailing, the exhaled product only contains your base liquid and the minut amounts of flavoring.
Unless your vaping over 10% nicotine(100 mg juice), there is no concern of second hand nicotine exposure.

Anyone doing 100 mg is more of a man than I am.... Even if they're a woman.
Absolutely no, on the nicotine. The vapor you exhale has less nicotine than eggplants or tomatoes.
As for allergens... I suppose it's possible, though it would probably depend on the severity of the allergy -- those who go anaphylactic in response to nuts probably should never be around anyone who's vaping anything with a nut flavor in it, since it seems to take VERY little exposure for that type of allergy to be triggered.

That's probably something VERY few of us have ever thought about and could be a real issue. There was a kid that went to school with my daughter and he couldn't even be in the same room with a peanut. The scary part is, you could be vaping next to someone with a nut allergy and not know it. If that person went into shock from it, I'm sure everyone would be absolutely baffled as to how it happened.
Yeah it doesn't take much exposure at all, for that kind of allergy. My son isn't allergic to most nuts, but coconut sends him into anaphylaxis immediately -- we had a box of candy as an xmas present one year, and my husband and I ate up all the ones with coconut right away. About a week later, our son took one that had been *next* to a coconut piece -- a full week earlier! -- and immediately his throat started closing up. Scary stuff.

Just in case, shivering is one of the ways dogs express pain.
yea i assumed the same just was a thought as my dog is always in my room and englufed in the vapor.
yea I am not sure why she was shivering probably is because of our other dog though she doesn't like him ( new dog ) but if you give her attention she is fine. My mom was simply blaming me vaping causing her to shiver so I questioned it. I also heard that story from some guy on youtube called rip trippers but instead of nut flavor his friend of something had like anise oil in his juice and someone was allergic to that and got an allergic reaction
Some people will blame vaping for everything from global warming to the national debt. Pay no attention to them, they're just willfully ignorant.

Mouth-only, cigar-like draws exhaling with the intent to completely cloud over a room on 24 mg? Probably.
