There's your best answer right there. The best option is to not smoke or vape. We vape because we personally believe it's a healthier alternative to smoking. But the best option period is to not do either.

Sorry no experts here. Consult with your physician. Best case scenario is to not smoke or vape.

Well, we set out yesterday to the vap store. We spend about 40 min with a great salesrep (all of them have been wonderful) and I did not know this but the darker your liquid the harder it can hit your throat and clog up your cartomizers. So here is what I did. I have 2 tanks one with a 2.0 cartomizer for my clearer land the other is my old wick.....something........I'm still ignorant on the correct terminology but am getting better at knowing the parts of my new best freind. Anyway, I also bought a new flavor that is clear and fruity. They call it "summertime" and its like chewing the old gum "stripe" - you kinow the gum with all the colors in a fruity stripe formation. I absolutly love it. I also got a 5/10 adapter which seems to cut down on the hard hit in the back of the throat which has allowed me to crank my zmax to an 8 instead of a 3.5. I can now blow out vap just as I did smoke- and my cravings for a stink bomb has decreased even more. I'M A HAPPY GIRL. Not wanting to waste the 120 ml bottle of the harsh liquid, I'm now mixing a little of that into my fruity flavors - fruity tobbaca.

Christopher, Thank you for all the hard work and long hours you spend making Vapor Talk a wonderful place for us all! This morning when I checked VT I noticed the snowflakes falling and thought them lovely. Just now I noticed how the snowflakes change direction depending on where your pointer is on the screen. That's absolutely brilliant! And more than a little amusing for me today. Just wanted to give a "thank you" shout for all the little things we may not notice but makes our experience here better and definitely more fun!

No apologies needed, Chris. Just wanted to let you know that your work on VT is appreciated!

Sorry I missed this post You are very welcome! It's my honor to serve the community

There are tons of options when it comes to vaping. For now I recommend you get the kit and some juice. Play with that set up for awhile and then venture off into the wide world of vaping madness.

we don't know for sure that it does any damage to your lungs. uma pretty much hit the nail on the head. that being said, your lungs should not be your only concern. remember that your'e still ingesting nicotine and nicotine is a drug. more than that nicotine IS a toxin. and toxin's are at their core poison. so your'e literally vaping poison. that being said, there have been no proven negative long term effects of taking in small amounts of nicotine over a long period of time. so, you make your own mind up. i'm going to continue vaping because i personally enjoy it. i KNOW 2 things for a fact. 1.) since i quit smoking and started vaping my 2 mile run time has gone from 16:32 to 13:28. 3 minutes is ALOT of time to take off of a 2 mile run time. so i KNOW FOR A FACT that my lungs have improved since giving up the cigarettes. 2.) i know that vaping is not as healthy as someone who doesn't smoke or vape. but like i said, i enjoy it and my lung function seems to have improved so i'm more than happy to keep on vaping

I think you would be better off speaking with your doctor vs a forum for health information such as that. What is good for your body may be different than what's good for mine, etc. I personally am not comfortable giving anyone healthcare advice as I'm not trained in any way shape or form. I know that I smoked for for like 8-9 years and I feel better vaping than I ever did smoking. I also know that I smoked the entire time I was in the Marine Corps and I still ran too many miles to count even when I was smoking. Everyone is different. Good luck regardless. I'm not bashing on you I just think you should consult your doctor if you are concerned.

I wouldn't say it's completely harmless. You are still breathing in chemicals which the regular person is not. Now with that being said, I fully agree with everyone above stating that this is indeed a drastic improvement over traditional tobacco smokes. IMO the worst aspect of vaping is the nicotine which is known to increase blood pressure and heart rate. Even still, yet again it is a great alternative compared to tobacco. So to answer your question no vaping is not COMPLETELY harmless although it is much better for you than smoking anything you light. Just my $.02. Good luck with your test. Make sure you're giving your body the rest it needs and drink plenty of water.
