GF concerned about my clouds o' vapor... help please!

[splitgrille]

My girlfriend is happy that I switched from analogs to vaping, but recently she has gone "organic" and is concerned about ingesting "bad" stuff. For the first three months, she didn't mind me vaping in the house at all, since I told her it is mostly water vapor and it doesn't stink like cig smoke. But she has noticed that my vapor will hang in the air like fog for a bit instead of dissipating right away, and she thinks she may be breathing in nicotine and/or "chemicals" that may be harmful to her. I've already switched from PG to VG. Can anybody out there help me in easing her mind? Thanks in advance for your replies.

She never walks down the street and inhales car fumes? Who is she, bubble girl?

VG produces more vapor and takes a little longer to evaporate. They are no 'chemicals for her to inhale. By the time it is vaporized and comes back out, it is just water vapor.....like a fog machine....

I'm not a medical professional but it's my understanding that PG ( and sometimes VG) are used by Drs for inhalation therapy to carry medicines into the lungs. I've also read that they are actually mild biocides and kill germs to some degree. I'm sure there is some small percentage of nicotine left in the vapor but not sure it's enough to be concerned with.

Most of the nicotine dissolves into your lungs instantly...

If you dont mind not seeing any vapor, hold your vapes in... and you wont blow anything out

Exactly what I told her... she is just wary of the unknown, I guess. I have tried to alleviate her concerns about my vaping, but am hoping to give her some more detailed information from the responses I gather here.

Just keep re-assuring her that with vaping you are going to be around a whole lot longer so she can bug you. With analogs you couldn't say that.

PG is used in inhalers to help carry respiratory drugs to the lungs.

If she doesn't like your vaping, maybe she'd like it better if you went back to smoking. That was organic, right?

You aren't married boot her out and get a big mod with the money you save.

That's a hard one. Would she notice a difference between a cigarette and huge cigar or pipe? I'll bet she would. Does she truly feel any difference between a little vape and a fog of vape or is she just going on looks?

I can't remember which ones at the moment, but there are a couple of juice vendors that sell organic VG juice. Shouldn't be too hard to find them....

Vaperite

sells natural and organic flavors.

SHEESH!!! Not even married and she's already trying to take the pleasure out of your life.

Thats classic, I love it. Now my 2 cents. If its her house, her rules. If you both live there, its your house too, do as you will or get rid of her. Nobody would be telling me what to do.

On second thought, don't marry her, already trying to tell you what to do, no one owns you.

If she isn't supporting you that you quit smoking analogs, then she must not love you very much, maybe time to think about it! Ask her if she would prefer you smoking analogs and killing yourself better.......then if she says yes, dump her, she ain't worth it!!!
