Second hand vape??

[DarkKnightZX]

So heres my problem... My roomate has been sick off and on for a month or more now. He seems to want to blame it on me vaping. Saying stuff like "this all didnt happen till you bought that thing". Myself I feel just fine he has what seems to be just the common cold symptoms. By the way he smokes and chews. So could there be anything to his complaining???

Do you vape PG? Your roommate may have a PG sensitivity.

Or he could just be sick.

You could try a VG eliquid and see if it makes a difference.

Refer to the ClearStream study and/or IVAQS study

I'm not a scientist or a doctor, but it appears from these studies that nothing of dangerous levels is in the exhaled vape. You can also check with CASAA - The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (and join too to help, it's free!), as they have a lot of resources that you can download or print.

Hope this helps!

Honestly though, with him smoking, a cold is probably the culprit.

Back in the day when I caught a cold it usually took me a month to get over it.

Hahaha Thanks Sonic!


Yeah I think its just easier for him to blame his poor health on something/someone else then it is to admit he lives a very unhealthy life and could very easily change that. Just needed alittle input to reassure that.

You're a nice roommate for showing concern.

Had it been me (back in the day when I had roommates), I would've been a sarcastic mutha.

"You were late to work ? Must've been me vaping last night."
"Car didn't start ? I did vape in front of your car; sorry."
"The milk expired ? Yep, I was vaping in the kitchen, my bad."

Then after each sarcastic remark, follow with "shaddup you !"

I don't know what the PG/VG percentage of your juice is, but PG is very good at killing germs, viruses, fungus, and bacteria.
If you have a good amount of PG in your juice, your roommate is very likely healthier because of it.

There are hospitals that use/have used PG in their air systems to assist with sanitization.

Statement: I was going to mention that PG is a virucide and bactericide, so that should have helped rather than hindered.

Suggestion: Tell your meatbag friend that breathing is bad for his health, and he should stop immediately. Or I suppose you can keep the box of Kleenex handy so he can wipe away his tears.

It must be a cold or something and he is just blaming you, because it is easier than admiting that he caught the most common of all illneses

Reassure him by demonstrating with a glass that, unlike smoke, vapor is heavier than air. What you blow in the air quickly settles, it doesn't dance around in the air like smoke for very long.

He smokes and chews and it's somewhere in between winter flu season and spring allergy season. Sure, maybe he's very sensitive to PG. Maybe. But he's got some much more likely reasons to rule out first.

I didn't read the entire thread but duuhhhhh....It's cold and flu season!

Haha good stuff guys! He started complaining today awhile ago and I promptly brought those points up. Needless to say he had nothing to say after that lol.
