The vapor in your lungs?

The manner of Hoosier and Vface in answering a honest noob question is sarcastic and would not help. IMO also. Im pretty sure both of them did born with pv mods in their mouths
Hey sometimes it takes a little sarcasm to get the point across. You inhale PG/VG Nicotine and flavoring, you exhale moisture from your lungs as well as whatever PG/VG/nicotine/flavoring that wasn't absorbed by your lungs. That being said you DO need to keep hydrated. Some people vape too much and get a kind of "hangover" from the dehydration, so keep hydrated.
Even if you were inhaling water, it'd take a whole lot of it to achieve the negative effects of water inhalation, also known as DROWNING.
How long would you have to breathe through your mouth in a steamy shower (bow chika bow wow) for the steam to drown you?

Everybody who vapes reports that their lungs are clearing up, or have cleared up.
This has been verified by many who have gone to their doctor since they started vaping.
Personally, I had concerns, and still have concerns, about some of the flavorings that we inhale.
For that reason I went to the doctor after vaping for 18 months specifically to get a spirometry test.
My FVC was 5.55 (92% of predicted)
My FEV1 was 4.51 (95% of predicted)
The above measures are well within normal variances for my height, weight, and age.
The most important thing was that my FEV1/FVC ratio was 0.81 which is 103% of predicted.
That measure (FEV1/FVC) is probably the most important one to keep an eye on to watch for damage to the lungs.
So far, my lungs seem to be doing great.

You quit smoking analogs and no longer vape correct? So now it's terrible and nasty and we should all quit vaping?
You're one of those ex-smokers that drive people nuts. Don't be one of those people.
Well I had slight concerns regarding osmosis and the relative pg/vg overload, but the ol' tissue test says enough to me. If it something comparable to extreme humidity vs real smoke, I'm pretty comfortable with the e-cig route.
I'm not sure whether bosshoss is on an evangelical crusade or whether he's just a troll. Either way we need to quit feeding him.
Someone in this thread said the vapor is water from your lungs....that can't be the only source as I have a long drip tip and you can literally see the vapor moving up in it, well before it has a chance to reach the lungs and be exhaled so it has to be coming from PG interaction with water in the air.
@Goldenkobold: One of my posts mentioned that the atomized hygroscopic juice draws moisture from your body. But, I don't think I so much as implied that hygroscopic substances have a preference for human body tissue. There's always water in natural air, even if it's extremely dry natural air. That doesn't mean the juice avoids the moisture in your lungs though.
Also, there's no doubt in my mind that absolutely dry vaporized eJuice would be visible. But, could only be produced in laboratory conditions.

Same thing, really.
The vapor is not water at all, it's vaporized pg & vg, so the water doesn't come from anywhere. (Yes, there is some water in it, but very little, and not nearly enough to see.)
Yes, it would indeed, but not in any kind of special conditions. All the time.

I don't think that's correct...
The vapor from an electronic cigarette works just like a fog machine, and needs water to form the resultant "cloud" of "fog".
How Does a Fog Machine Work?
I'm pretty sure that what we are exhaling is what I said before...
See this thread for a more detailed discussion...

If you have information that contradicts any of this, please post it for the benefit of all.
Hmm, I'm not so sure about the accuracy of that site, but I've been wrong before!
I run two fog machines on a regular basis, and the fog juice I use is just plain (or sometimes scented) pg, not a mix of water & vg. If the visible vapor is, in fact, water then that water has to be condensing from the ambient air.
I only got halfway through that thread so far, and it seems to me that the problem is that there's some linguistic hair-splitting and absolutism going on, as was pointed out there.
I frequently hear people saying that the vapor is "just water", when that is clearly untrue (and, given that some people are allergic to pg, that error is an important one). It may well be that it is equally untrue to say it contains no appreciable water.
I guess my real point is that it contains more pg & vg than anything else -- this is demonstrably true -- and if we're going to oversimplify the ingredients of the fog, it's more accurate and honest to call it pg vapor or vg vapor than water vapor.

me too.... And growing up in the 50's through the 70's until now I am at the ripe old age of 58, I have inhaled a lot worse than water. Also, I live in East Texas, ALL we inhale here is laced with water, thus the 80% + humidity.
