**Just sharing an experience, no requests or questions**

So... I just upgraded from a 510 to a <5V Box mod.

vaping this new device quite often, I've reached my 3rd day Tobacco free. I was ecstatic about this life-saving accomplishment. Still, something was amiss...

I noticed that, every so often, when combing my mustache, it was laden with scentless, odorless liquid. Now, you have to understand, my mustache is quite beefy (as in thick and massive), so it's not at all rare for it to contain a droplet of saliva or whatever my last beverage was - or even rain.

"Am I drooling?" I would ask myself. However, I've not been known to drool, let alone drool in a direction that defies gravity. "Or possibly my drip tip is leaking back on my face?".

My curiosity possessed me to undergo an experiment to isolate the cause of the issue. I began a heavy vaping session. Firstly, I noticed that I most often vape on the right side of my mouth, so I amended my behavior by inserting the PV on the left. Exhale... and Shhhhwwwwoooop *siz*... I took a giant puff of some delicious 18mg Root Beer.

After the plumes cleared from the room, I checked my mustache. "Ack!" I exclaimed. There was definitely no leakage onto the left side of my mouth... So, I inhaled again.

Once the brain tickling effects of my inhalation wore off, I checked the left side of my mustache again... Nothing! "Huh?" I thought, "Wait a second... what is this?". The right side of my mustache was again filled with drops of cool, glistening liquid. "What in the world?" I thought, "I must be salivating... or?"

Just then it occurred to me... I ALWAYS exhale out of the right side of my mouth! The water vapor must be cooling as it passes through the follicles in my mustache, thus condensing. A test of my hypothesis quickly proved the assumption.
:p:p:p:p
Oh man, it really made me laugh AND relieved that I was NOT drooling upward. I certainly don't mind it. However, I thought it would be humorous to share and find out if anyone else has noticed this effect. It was a pretty ridiculous experience.

Happy vaping, errybody!!!

I usually exhale through my nose, so I noticed in my first week of vaping that I thought my nose was running. It was just condensation forming on the little hairs in my nostrils and making my nose wet. I kept wiping my nose, but finding nothing to speak of on the tissues. But I could feel it with my fingers. It was just trace moisture, but definitely moist!
