OMG!!!!! Oh well, I'll just buy a second brush
Great conversation starter. Carry a little brush with you at all times and when someone asks you about it, look them right in the eye with a straight face and say "That is my hairy palm brush" then say nothing more.
Well I guess so.. Since vaping hurt those big tobacco companies and gov't who earn taxes from tobacco..
Water lungs... seems pretty unlikely... infact h2o exist in the very air we breathe
True i used to scuba dive when they fill the tanks they have a compressor that takes the water out of the oxigen so your tank wont rust from the inside out

What's sad is that these rumors are everywhere! My son (he's 20) went in to get a chest XRay because he was sick (ended up being just an upper resp. infec.) as he was leaving his vapor fell out of his pocket and the tech told him that he was sick because he was vaping! That it causes water build up in the lungs. I was ......! I asked her if she had some medical training that proved this of course she said no, I asked if she has seen medical evidence of this again she said no. I asked her if any of the doctors she worked with has told her this and again she said no. I told her that in her position as a tech in hospital that most people are going to assume that she knows what she is talking about and not take the time to clarify as I did, therefore it is very irresponsible of her making such untrue statements that will likely cause people to rush out and buy analogs again because they are afraid of getting water in their lungs! After I explained what analogs were (oops lol) she agreed.
Hope your son gets better soon though [/QUOTE]
He's fine thanks! I get so mad when people voice an uneducated opinion on anything, but the Vaping subject really gets under my skin because it has changed my life, as cheesy as that sounds, it has.

Awesome, to the point questions....I hope at the least that specific tech does not open his mouth again about vaping until he/she does his research.....
whats sad is theres a thread about vaping building water in the lungs and there isn't a post from anyone completely dispelling and disproving the myth. I thought the ECF community could handle these questions by now?
Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin are both used in asthma defibrillators for children and adults with severe asthma, COPD, and breathing problems. If these substances caused harm to the human lung, they wouldn't be used as a medication delivery system. PG and VG are also used in fog machines, onstage at concerts, at fog parties and raves, etc. The touring musicians would have a big problem if these substances caused problems for the lungs. PG and VG are also pumped into hospital air ducts via the AC/Heat systems. Why? Because PG and VG sterilize the air. They are both anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agents used in Hospital Air systems. If they were harmful to the human lungs, they wouldn't be used for this purpose at all.
Also, newsflash, your lungs are wet already. They are in a huge flesh bag of water. There is more water in your blood than any other molecule, atom, organelle, etc. Your lungs are already coated and made-of water. Granted, if you inhale a bunch of pool water, your going to have some pain in your lungs for a bit, as they push it out and absorb it, but you'll be fine. As long as your a healthy human being, nothing happens when you inhale large quantities of water into your lungs. NOTHING. You can drown, literally inhaling water breath after breath for minutes, be brought back to the shore by a life guard, and given CPR, and you will go on living just fine. You probably won't even go see a doctor afterwards. Why? Because you can have water in your lungs and be fine.
Unless you have Pneumonia, where your lungs are infected by a virus and they are inflamed and made solid by inflammation to the point that they can no longer pass water through themselves, like the sponge they are, then you will be fine inhaling water. But no, vaping doesn't accumulate water in your lungs.

Your answer has definately cleared my doubts about the water in lung myths..
I thought I drank a lot of water before I started vaping. Now I feel like fish. So much water.... Lol

Well to be honest, water in the lungs is a normal thing, the lungs are a very moist enviroment. We breathe water vapor out of ourselves 24/7 ( you can test this in any cold enviroment, just breathe and look for mist). If you live in the south ( New Orleans for example) you eventually grow gills since the humidity down here during the summer is like 98% all the time.
As far as water amounts that could be detrimental... nope vaping doesnt cause that to happen unless you have an allergic reaction to your vape....

Do you get water in your lungs while taking a shower?
I wonder where people get these crazy ideas.
