Well the good thing 4 u is no you will not get eye drags but.... being than an ecig weighs more than a cig its kinda hard to smoke one with no hands at least 4 me.
That was my first thought. Plus the hardware in your mouth isn't soft like the end of a cig.

Not to mention a manual battery adds a whole 'nother dimension.

Well, the cool thing about a PV is that you CAN put it down or just stick it in your pocket and not worry about it catching something on fire or burning down & wasting away.

The vapor disappears so quickly, it's kind of hard to even get IN your eyes. However, the liquid itself DOES sting. My husband was popping the tip off a bottle and pulled too har and some splashed into his eye. It was quite red and it definitely stung for a while!

First I started having blurred vision in the left eye. It was so bad that I could not even see the computer screen. It would come and go.I went to the opthamologist yesterday to find out what was wrong. I already wear glasses and can't see without them. The doctor told me was eyes were dried out completely. I have to use drops for a week to hydrate them before I can get new glasses or contacts. I go back in a week. I have an eyedropper bottle that is the same size as some of my eliquid. I have to be extra careful not to drop liquid in my eyes. I think this would finish me off.

Has anyone else had this problem. Do you think it is because of vaping.
I didn't tell him about my vaping because I thought he would say defnitely it was from that.

This is one of the many cool things about vaping. It doesn't bother my eyes. I smoked like a fiend for 20 years, so you wouldn't think smoke would bother me, but getting cigarette smoke in my eyes always did. Did you ever have a whisp of smoke get in between your glasses and your eyes? Horrible!

Vapor doesn't bother me at all. I find it fun to puff and exhale repeatedly to get a huge cloud of vape around me. Kind of like Morticia Addams when she sat in her chair and "smoked"

The reason a lot of you have dry eyes is BECAUSE you are vaping. Let me explain... many of you claim when you are on anologs the smoke would make your eyes red and watery. Well now that vaping doesn't make the watery then your eyes don't get there normal dose of hydration from the smoke making them watering. Makes sense right! :D

I don't think not smoking analogs has anything to do with your eyes being dry. I think its from the PG in the eliquid. How could smoking analogs have anything to do with your eyes unless its when you occasionally got smoke in your eyes and made them burn.

I had never had dry eyes in my life. I have my eyes checked every year and this is the first time the doctor told me they were dry.

Well I guess its different for everyone. I wear contacts and the vapor doesn't affect my eyes at all -- no excessive dryness, no tearing, no burning. Smoke on the other hand irritated my eyes whether I wore my contacts or not.

Smoke also used to make me squint A LOT, I've noticed that with vapor I don't do that at all anymore. Can't help but think that this has to be a good thing when it comes to preventing/slowing down the crows feet!! ;)

Or maybe I'm wrong, I just did some quick math and thought it made sense. I guess not. :-x lol
