Mouth only inhaling safest?

[lilracks]

Hey,

I have a question:
Is it the safe to just inhale the smoke in your mouth and blow it out, without exhaling it to the lungs or nose.

That's what I currently do with 0mg nicotine, is this still harmful cause of other chemicals or how does it exactly work? Interesting topic.

First of all, its not "smoke". There is no combustion going on with vaping. Its vapor.

I'm still trying to figure out WHY you are vaping? Especially since you are not using nicotine in your e-cigarette.

If you were using nicotine, you would not necessarily need to inhale it into your lungs to absorb the nicotine. Nicotine can be absorbed in the mucous membranes of your mouth and throat.

You might be interested in the below study, but keep in mind it was a SMALL study. If you smoke, e-cigarettes are a safer alternative to smoking. If you don't smoke, don't vape.

Bill Clinton style?

Sounds more like a novelty or fitting in with the crowd thing...

If you're concerned or worried about the safety of vaping 0 Nic, probably best to not vape at all.

Inhaling anything other than clean fresh air comes with risks.

Even if your only pulling into your mouth, the suction is coming from somewhere. Your lungs are still coming in contact with the vapor, although not as much.

@lilracks - Nicotine in vapor is readily absorbed in the mouth cheek cells, in the nasal passages, and in the sinus cavities. If you're not using any nicotine in your eliquid...there's none to be absorbed.

If you're not vaping as a way to hopefully cut down on, and eventually quit, cigarettes...I just wouldn't vape at all.

I agree that neither smoking or vaping (if not a smoker in the first place) shouldn't be done in this case, but it's probably better to try and 'fit in' with the vaping crowd than the smoking crowd..

Safety is relative, I’d say it’s safer but the jury is still out on long term effects.

I guess if there was a "safest " way to vape, perhaps zero nic brought in & out of the mouth only would be it...but imo , I really dont consider that vaping, rather just moistening of the mouth.

I don't agree. I've been vaping without inhaling vapor into my lungs since I first started vaping in Nov. 2013. My vapor goes only as far as the back of my throat, is held there for a second or so, and then back out my mouth and nose.

It takes suction to do that, not inhaling. You can create suction with the muscles in your mouth...without inhaling. Think about kids when they suck their thumb. They aren't inhaling when they do it!

It always made my head explode a little when I saw "posers" bum a smoke from friends and not even inhale. It was just a show to look "cool".

OP, it seems to me that you are a poser and should just stop even trying to vape. There is no benefit in sucking flavored steam into your mouth. Are you even of legal age to possess tobacco? If not, ECF is prohibited, as well. Maybe try a baby binkie if the mouth suction effect holds some affinity to you. I'm stumped otherwise.

That looks dangerous to me!

Good luck.

I don't ever recall seeing a baby with an air hole in their thumb.

@HigherStateD - I'm not the only one who vapes like I do, and doesn't inhale their vapor. There are quite a few of us on ECF who always vape that way. Seems like more people are trying it, too, in the last 6-8 months based on discussions in several threads.

ETA: Of course, you're always entitled to your own opinion, as to whether or not it's possible to vape without inhaling any vapor.

I don't inhale my vapor intentionally either, but there is always going to be air that gets into the lungs.

 

[Beamslider]

What difference does it make? You are still inhaling it

Yeah and Monica Lewinski didn't swallow either.
