There's no open wound with a root canal, as there is with an extraction. It's basically no different from a cavity being filled, except they hand-drill to get into the nerve canal and remove the nerve; afterward, the tooth is sealed.

ETA: I always smoked after extractions too, though I cut the filters in half to avoid such hard suction -- it made them much easier to smoke and less painful, and less chance of making bleeding start again.
In which case, I'd probably have loved them, before I got accustomed to rebuildables. The Achilles' draw is very similar to a carto.

Thank you one and all!!
I'll now vape away with confidence and sans worry. I'll open up the draw...nice 'n airy.
Off I go. Now, where'd I put my big girl pants?...

You know what the worst part of a root canal is? Having your mouth open for that long. That's it. It takes a good bit longer than a regular cavity being filled because of the hand drilling, but I find the hand-drilling FAR less traumatic than the dang electric drilling... but your mouth does get tired, and afterward, there's some discomfort in the jaw muscles from being "opened wide" for so long. Other than that... piece of cake.

Oh..good lord...a root canal? You have my deepest sympathies!!!!I woke up this morning thinking about @fourthrok and her husband - wondered how he was doing. And it dawned on me; I don't know them, not in the been-friends-for-years sense.
But that's what this Tootle Puffers group is, for me at least - a group of folks I've never met face-to-face. Kind of like a good book with a cast of characters whose faces I construct in my imagination.
As a newb I mostly joined the Tootle Puffers to learn, which I have and still continue to. The surprise was meeting a diverse, fun, silly, helpful and caring bunch of folks who are strung together by this thing called vaping. I realize it's much more than that. And I'm thankful.
I'm not juskiddin
Have a great day everyone. I'm off to get a root canal today. The fun never stops.
Cheers

Thanks for thinking of us like that! I feel the same way. I don't really know anyone here...not in RL, anyway. But I feel like I've made some wonderful, caring friends here in Tootlers Puffers ...and I'm glad I finally decided to take the plunge and jump in! I used to participate in ECF a lot in 2012 and 2013...but I hadn't been active here for nearly 2 years when Kat collared me and got me to come back . Thanks @Katdarling !
Hope everyone is having a good day (mine is getting a bit better)...regardless of root canals or whatever!!
oooohNOOOOOOO!!!!I just had a thought -- guess I'll have to wait a while to vape after my root canal. I wonder, for how long?
I'm gonna be a cranky pants
But I have figured out how to modify them to draw like a T3S.
When my first husband (now deceased) had all his top teeth pulled in preparation for dentures (we're going back to the 1980s here) he was told to not smoke. He did anyway. No..he didn't die from that..lol! He carried on quite awhile. But cigarettes did kill him about 10 years later.
I smoked after every extraction I've had. I still have no earthly idea what a "dry socket" is.

ohh I forget who was talking bottles and Amazon but the 120 ml ones I got for $12 do have the plastic cone seal in the lid.
They did not say they did on amazon but they do.
My second liter of nic is now split up and in the deep freeze.

I admit to smoking after everything.
I can remember a day surgery knee op where I staggered outside the moment I could stand. The old days.
They told me I would nauseous. Did it stop me Heck no.

I for one am glad you found the path to this little corner.
I wake up each morning and wonder what creepy, weird or scary things you all have been chatting about,
Today is going to be a great day.

I had my son by caesarian... and the very next morning, I was demanding the removal of my catheter and my IV on wheels, so I could stagger to the smoking area -- which hospitals had, in 1988. Hospitals used to be places of mercy; now they're hotbeds of intolerance and ignorance.

We're in the same boat now, only in my case its my 73 year old father who was admitted in hospital today with bad case of pneumonia. Antibiotics he'd gotten last week didn't catch on (they're really careful with prescribing antibiotics in NL). I'm a bit scared, I lost my mom just 4 months ago, so.... Going over to see him this weekend, hopefully he can go home on Saturday or Sunday.
Wishing you and your husband all the best, hope he can go home soon too!
I hope he gets better!! Will be praying for your family as-well!!!
USA gives out antibiotics like candy, and wonder why they no longer work...
Hope all goes well for him.
You and your father will be in my thoughts, Muru. Hope all goes well with him.
I'v had TONS of mouth work done. What I use to do was take some gauze, soak it in water then put it where they pulled the tooth and bite down while taking a draw from a cig.
I'v never gotton dry socket, my theory is the wet gauze keeps he blood clot sealed..- Status
