I Vape nicotine after oral surgery with no ill effect but honestly putting myself in your place I would be very worried about doing any kind of different inhale other than regular breathing. There is evidence that nicotine does slow healing however hospitals readily give out patches and other cessation devices to people who are post surgery so there's that. But if you can manage it might be better to not do any deep inhales that aren't instructed by your physician. Nicotine will absorb to your oral orifices if you think that you can Vape without actually inhaling past your mouth. I don't have any factual information to give you but I can very much understand why that's giving you pause. I actually am more concerned about the differential breathing then I would be the nicotine itself though this is just a feeling nothing based on any sort of fact
Illinoisans think I figured out why AR won't ship to Illinois. Illinois requires online retailers to use 3rd party age verification. Learn something new every day. 
Personally I'm not against this restriction.

@Pigs, You can see aircraft activity in the area of concern here Flightradar24: Live Flight Tracker - Real-Time Flight Tracker Map If you put the cursor over the aircraft it will show you its identifier. BMBR912 his been flying out of Canberra today in the area. It's a DC-10 that's usually based "here" during fire season and was on of the bombers that saved our community some years ago during a particularly bad fire. Great to see it, and its pals 910 and 911 down down there helping.
They haven't been flying the area around the house yet today and assume it's either still socked in from the inversion layer or socked in due to drift smoke.
From your picture it looks like the danger to the house is from flying embers landing on/in the woodwork and starting a fire. That's my take from the photo and predicted spread map anyway, my husband's too. We both used to be wildland firefighters for the US Forest Service.
For anybody not used used to having to evac from a disaster, a few words about what to take. First thing you grab, obviously, in yourselves AND your pets. Also grab prescriptions, important papers and documents including insurance papers, ID, Passports, birth certificates, SS cards, etc. Grab your photos and other things you can't replace. Skip the things you can replace. I my case, irreplaceable items include a number of stuffed animals with great sentimental value and only take one change of clothes, if that. Clothes can replaced in a day, "sparky" never could be. To each their own.
Every summer we have stuff packed and ready to go just in case. I also send a box of Provaris up to an ECF saint for his cats to watch over during fire season. This year I also have to worry about my vaping stash as I'll likely never be able to replace it.
I'm just grateful I haven't bought as much stuff as you guys have and can probably easily whittle it down to one tub by getting rid of, or collapsing, the boxes. 
Pigs, only hoping the best for you and yours down there. And I still check the Koala Hospital Go Fund me page every day It's wonderful how much they're going to be able to with the donations.

I've got everything crossed for your daughter. In the lap of the gods by the looks.....sending my most positive thoughts.
Maybe they can save it because of the Savanna like terrain even if it does pass. That's got to count for something
Chin up Pigs
When I had my pleuradesis, which is sticking your lung to your pleura, I smoked straight after. I had had two spontaneous pneumothorax's so they decided to stick one of my lungs because of the risk of them both collapsing at the same time. They also found a big air sack which they isolated and cut off.
I was only 25 years old. I went in promising myself not to smoke but the second day after the op I dragged myself down to the nearest doors and smoked a roll up....stupid...but I didn't have any I'll effects.
I'm not suggesting you do the same and in fact I'd probably say don't do it.
Thinking about you all the time and sending positive thoughts and hugs
Good morning shinies
Sending love and hugs to all but especially @chanelvaps @Pigs at this difficult time

I space my coils. I jumped on the microcoil train years ago starting with Kayfuns, and protank coil rebuilds. Back then it was reasoned that a microcoil will generate heat more efficiently than a spaced coil at the same voltage, and it does that well.
Batteries back then had a lower amperage safety limit, and chips for regulated mods had a much lower wattage ability. 14500-14650 was the standard battery size, now it's gone to 18650-21700 which have higher mAh capacity and higher amperage limits. The first 18650 battery I ever used was in a mechanical mod, and also my first sub-Ohm coil build. Game changer.
Most coil builds for regulated devices in the early days were done with 28-32 GA Nichrome (60, 80? CRS is kicking in), in the range of 1.2-2.4 Ohms, less than 15 Watts on most cheap regulated devices. In order to maximize the vapor production, a contact coil was used because of its ability to do more with less power input.
Nowadays, we have a wide range of options that didn't exist back then. I still enjoy a 1.2 Ohm spaced coil round wire build on a Kayfun Lite now and then, it's a great vape, but on my other builds I usually aim for .4-.8 depending on the wire and device/atomizer. Then there's stainless temp control, which is a different animal altogether, I do much lower builds on those.
No, I would not vape in this situation. I had lung surgery 7 years ago. I quit vaping for awhile then. Might be useful to make some DIY nicotine mints or toothpicks in advance of your surgery, just in case you choose to abstain for a period of time from vaping. Sending my best wishes/hopes to you on your 'vacation'. Not sure why people talk about a hospital stay as a vacation, not much fun imho.
seriously,,'after lung surgeyr? i would be asking how hard i can breathe or whether i can gulp down water like i used to...
i know_ easier said from a distance.
all good wishes on your dip and following recovery
(closest to a cheerleader i reckon_)ppl seen the new FT ribbon message?
and here i was thinking it was all just you ol'timers panicking
@Pigs
I'm sorry to hear from the fire predicament your children are in. That is just horrid. My thoughts and prayers are with you all mate.

Boy oh Boy did 3F give me a pleasant surprise today. I ordered the Hippovape kudos this morning and received the shipping notice this afternoon. Do they even know about the virus and the blockades in Hong Kong...?
Yep, that's how it is.
After a couple days the 'need' is more manageable, after about five the old cravings start kicking in, and reaching 1 week+ the urges build to a crescendo. At that point, it's dangerous. I've met some people that walked to the nearest store in hospital gown to buy a pack of smokes and a lighter.
Best to be prepared just in case.

i've come across posts of people that trained themselves not to inhale anymore, just circled around mouth and nose and puff. you get enough nic that way it seems, better with salts one person said... ok @chanelvaps but you're grounded from DLing ok?
@Pigs damage reports notwithstanding, i'm confused now, they are out of danger though right?
