Hi guys...not sure where this is most appropriate, so I'll ask here.

I'm a cigar smoker, and as such I generally bite down on the cigar with my teeth when I puff.

I'm vaping for flavor, not inhaling for nicotine delivery. And I find myself puffing across my teeth (pulling the vapor over my teeth).

Does vapor Stain teeth like analog smoke does?

You can do a little demo for yourself if you like. Get a cotton hanky, t-shirt or some other plain white cotton material (or even a paper towel if you like) and blow some vape through it. Do the same with a cigar / cigarette - then hold them up to the light and see the difference.

There was a huge thread over in the general forum about vaping causing a residual buildup on windows / walls etc. It was interesting and that I read, there was no conclusive proof either way. Based on my own experience, I have noticed my teeth are way whiter, and no residue from vaping in my home or my vehicle.

My teeth are too stained from 39 years of smoking to know for sure.

What I do know is since I switched from smoking to vaping, the walls of my apartment don't turn my cleaning rags a filthy yellow color.
In fact, you wouldn't know from the rags I cleaned the walls at all.
I imagine the same principle applies to teeth.

When smoking used to have to visit the dental hygienist every 3 months for a cleaning. She'd have to scrape and clean "diligently" for about 40 mins. I now visit every 6 months- in and out in 15 mins after a very light cleaning. Friends have also commented on how much whiter my teeth are. Complexion, teeth/ gums and lungs are the most improved areas of my health.

Hold on here.. I thought these PV's were teeth steamers..

Seriously, This stuff should not be able to stain your teeth at all.. Also considering many of us have forced the e-liquid community to drop using colorings in the liquid over the last year or so... or don't worry about color in our DIY liquid..

Has anyone noticed that after you use an ecig for awhile, you start smelling analogs more potently? I wonder if the tar clogs up our nose hairs. I remember reading something about how cigarette smoke kills our sense of smell. When i smoked, I never really "smelled" cigarettes. Now that I'm on 100% vapor, I smell them all the time.

Smoking impairs the ability to identify odors and diminishes the sense of taste and smell. Unless we have other issues it should improve with time after quitting smoking. I took Zinc tabs to help the process along and promote the growth/ resurgence of nerve cells.
Olfactory (smell nerve) cells are stimulated by the odors around us—the fragrance from a rose, the smell of bread baking. These nerve cells are found in a tiny patch of tissue high up in the nose, and they connect directly to the brain.
Gustatory (taste nerve) cells are clustered in the taste buds of the mouth and throat. They react to food or drink mixed with saliva. Many of the small bumps that can be seen on the tongue contain taste buds. These surface cells send taste information to nearby nerve fibers, which send messages to the brain.


Just went to the Dentist yesterday and Hygienist and Dentist commented on how bright and white my teeth were looking. Dentist also said my gums have recovered 100% from the ravages/ damage of smoking. When I was smoking he was considering multiple gum operations but was concerned because the smoking would've immediately negated any positives form the operations.
