Just had tooth pulled, no vaping for at least 24 hours..

[Razorback]

I don't recommend it, but when I first starting mixing nicotine, I'd get it all over my fingers, and after a few minutes, I'd have 1 heck of a buzz. I don't think I'd put it directly in my mouth, but if in you guys position, I might dab it (a very little) on my wrists like a fancy perfume!!!

But (Disclaimer) I don't recommend it...

Don't do that! Liquid nicotine can be toxic!

The reason the dentists tell you not to smoke, or vape, or use a straw, is to make sure you don't end up with dry socket which is terribly painful. It is the sucking motion that causes. I was still a smoker four months ago when I went through a tough tooth extraction and was told not to smoke. Of course I did, but I was very careful to not drag hard. I would think with vaping you could use a tank that has a very easy draw and let the atty do the work.

I'm no doctor, don't even play one on TV so don't take my word for it but what I suggested is what I would do.

Or just do direct lung inhales through your nose! That should work but I want pics ;-).

Lordy, yes, photos will be required.

It's also a way of making certain that nobody ever borrows your vape again. Just be careful not to backwash.

My dentist said only 6 hours, but I vaped carefully just didn't draw real hard and had no problems.

That's what I've been doing with my T3S lol. It does burn a little bit though. I'll make sure to clean it good before going back to normal.

ehh just stick a piece of gum in it and vape away!

Back when i was a smoker i had an upper molar pulled. Turned out i have really long roots and this tooth reached all the way into my sinus canal so after it got pulled, i could pull air through the hole

As you might imagine this made any kind of mouth suction very difficult since there now was a leak i couldn't close. I experimented with various items to fill the hole and finally settled on chewing gum. It had to be reset every half a minute but at least i could still smoke. Anyway.. the hole closed up in a couple weeks and i had no further complications. In your case its even easier since theres no pressure release from behind the hole to dislodge the gum!

Yup. I tried the whole open draw lung hits on a pretty airy PT2 mini 6 hours after I had a wisdom tooth pulled. Didn't work. Got a dry socket and had to get the wonderful tasting clove packing put I place of the lost blood clot. I'll endure the withdraw before I taste that stuff again.

When i still smoked and had some of mine pulled i just put gauze in there and puffed slowly, if you have to HAVE it, try that but I just used the Im in pain excuse and went to sleep

Get a turkey baster from Wally World. Use it to draw in the vapor and as you push it out, inhale through your nose.

 

[Nermal]

That's an interesting idea, Rick. I've long wondered about the mechanics of these 'nose hits' I've heard about. At least I can understand this idea.

HI! I know this post refers to a tooth extraction, however I just went through double jaw surgery. I had multiple incisions in my mouth. My surgeon told me that while he supported e-cigs, that nicotine actually slows the healing process. The hospital actually offered me a patch to help me through the healing. Yay Washington!

 

[Havensal]

Back when I smoked I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed at the same time. I took long, slow, gentile drags. No problems.

Don't know if this has been suggested, if you were given gauze squares to put on the hole, just do it while you vape, than take it out. That's what my dentist's assistant whispered to me on my way out. Worked like a charm. Clot never moved and healed just fine

 

[Tom Servo]

When I had my wisdom teeth out, there was pain and drugs. No way was I not smoking. I actually chewed a piece of gum and kept it over the hole when I inhaled.

Yes, how absurd is that in retrospect? From what I've heard, dry socket is brutal. I wouldn't risk it today.

Hey guys. When we got teeth pulled back in the day and the Doc told us not to smoke cuz we could get a dry socket or whatever we didn't smoke. Same goes for vaping IMO. If the Doc told me not to vape cuz I could possibly get dry socket then by God I wouldn't vape.

Mine is healed up pretty nicely. Started vaping again today, but I'm only doing lung hits just to be safe. Definitely feels good to be vaping again though

 

[erikbal]

It feels weird saying this but I think for now I'll just stick to the occasional nose hits. I just clean out my nostrils really well and plug one side while breathing in through the other. Not the greatest feeling and not nearly as enjoyable as normal vaping but it keeps the withdrawals away and if I only do it as needed it's not bad. Let's face it most of us don't only vape when we have cravings, we do it cuz we enjoy it as well. I vape enough where I hardly get cravings unless I'm somewhere that I can't. Thanks for everything guys. I'll probably hang out on the forums here for a little bit then head to bed. I must say this is more painful than I remember the last extraction being. Now I wish I filled the script the dentist gave me for pain!

Wow two funny I was going to post about this today but you all have beat me to it so here goes. My dentist who I know personally, is very well accredited and teaches at the university pulled 6 of my teeth yesterday. He knows I smoke (did smoke) analogs, and of coarse told me positively no smoking. I asked him if vaping would be ok to which he asked if I would be able to get my nicotine that way. I told him how the nicotine would be in the vapor... and he said it should be fine. I vaped 3 ml of juice yesterday following the procedure and I bled quite a bit off and on yesterday. I am not saying this is ok for everyone because I also have a denture stuck in there covering up most of the wounds! Today I am doing fine and everything seems to be progressing and healing quite normally, after such a drastic dental procedure.
Here is the kicker, following dental work I've had dry socket three times in my 45 years as a smoker with analogs. Once to the point of passing out every 30 minutes from the pain, during a sunday with no dentist available (you don't want to go there) . So I know how bad it can be believe me. Yes I was a hard core addict. So NO I am not sucking on my PV as hard as I can, and again have a denture stuck in which is helping protect things (Old age sucks). But I trust my friend and I know that the way I feel now is an indication that I am healing properly and normally. So I now know with the right safe guards and advice you can get away with a lot more with vaping... You decide but talk to a pro first!

I had no idea what a dry socket was until i came here. Seems like a horrible thing.
I'm glad that i haven't pulled any teeths yet. Hopefully i will never have to do it either. *shrugs*
