It cannot be any more harmful to hold it in, as it is to inhale it, yes?
Remember, vaping is only a form of harm reduction.

It is not water, it is PG or VG or a combination of those plus flavorings and nicotine(if not 0mg). That said, if your question is driven by the need to get more nicotine, it is better to allow the vapor to linger in the mouth before inhale as nicotine in this form is more readily absorbed in the mouth and gums that it is in the lungs. Where this idea that it is water vapor is most likely due to those wishing to dispel any harm using an E cig but the fact is there is little to zero water in the liquid, with exceptions to those who DIY and use distilled water to thin out VG.
But in regards to holding the vapor in really serves little purpose, I mean it is not like you are going to "catch a buzz"!
As for harm, there is no evidence one way or another to prove or disprove.......And welcome in!

I do this all the time in places where I'm allowed to vape but don't want to offend others in close quarters like my work. I have never had any issues
just don't pass out from lack of oxygen.. then there'll be a PV sitting in your hand while your colleagues are wondering what it is that your doing at work lol
I remember an article about a year stating (paraphrasing) "since the vapor is water based and inhaled into the lungs it can cause pneumonia..." I don't know if that is your exact concern, but PG acts as a humectant.
I hold in when I'm stealth vaping. High pg liquid also helps as it produces less vapor to begin with.
I do occasionally stealth vape with 67% vg and I need to hold it like 30 seconds to be sure no vapor comes out.

This is true to an extent, it is a humectant meaning it can hold or carry water. That said, the amount of water in any regards to an E liquid is nowhere close to the vapor inhaled in a steam room or sauna.....I think it safe to say any water in an E cig is safe too.
PG/VG don't buildup in your lungs. Your body absorbs and dispels both chemicals with ease so that shouldn't be a concern. Even when exhaling you are still absorbing a portion of the vapor.
We don't really know about long term effects one way or another but so far there hasn't been any adverse findings to inhaling these chemicals. The jury will be out for years though.

I've been thinking, wouldn't mouth-only inhaling prevent any risk from "popcorn lung" with diacetyl containing liquids? I do usually do lung hits though, just for the feel.
Wow, I feel like a dummy. I never thought about the vapor dissipating in my lungs, and it doesn't take that long because I just tested it 
I was wondering how I was going to get a vape while watching a ballgame at Comerica Park. I checked their site and e-cigs aren't allowed except for the outside smoking areas. I think it should be easy enough to take a walk out to left field for a vape so I can still see the game.

Perhaps you are asking because you are having some kind of problem and think holding it in may be your solution?
If that's the case, you might be better off letting us know what problem you are having.
Maybe we have a better solution for you.

Yes, PG and VG are both humectants, which mean they will draw water out of you, which you will then exhale.
As for any articles stating that vaping may cause pneumonia, that's completely not true...
Such articles are nothing but attempts to scare people away from switching from smoking to vaping.
Greetings bvd, no harm known of and just to be picky, gotta maintain me street cred dontcha know, it's not smoke, it's vaper (-:
