What PG/VG ratio is your eliquid? If you have a higher PG amount, that makes the juice thinner, which could cause the leaking.

Now my reign has begun,LOL

Okay, here goes some facts... (and it will depend on the type of lift surgery they are doing)... If you are having implants, they make a tiny incision, work the implant into position and inflate it. It is non-invasive, but you will be very sore and bruised. If you are having any reduction (removal of skin), then it is a more invasive surgery and you should definitely avoid food, alcohol, and Nicotine 12-hours before surgery, and you should avoid any stimulant, alcohol, etc. for several days after surgery. Fact 1: (most) Doctors hate the idea of anyone smoking or vaping... so they want you to stop (period). Many doctors also have deals with Big Pharma and get kick-backs from prescribing medications such as Chantix, Nicotine inhalers, or patches (even though you can buy them OTC). So, if you are "self-medicating" with a vaporizer... you're taking money from their pockets! Fact 2: Hospitals have deals with Big Pharma to provide you with Nicotine patches (whether you want them or not) at the price of about $100/patch... billed to your insurance company. This is the way hospitals "control" Nicotine inside their walls. If Nicotine were a bad thing, they wouldn't hand them out like candy to all patients who use Nicotine... yeah, think about that one for a while.... Fact 3: Nicotine is a stimulant which raises your heart-rate... not a good thing right before invasive surgery Fact 4: Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor which increases blood pressure (slightly)... not a good thing right before invasive surgery It won't kill you to go without Nicotine for a day or two... especially if you are having an invasive procedure, you won't even want food/water for a day or two. If you are having a standard "lift", you'll be home and doing your daily routine after a few hours, and you should be perfectly safe to continue vaping a few hours after surgery. It won't kill you, nor will it have any adverse affects to the implants, incision, etc. As @Tam said, however, speak truthfully with your doctor before the procedure to know how it will affect you, and what you have to do to heal properly. But, take his advice on all the evils of vaping with a cautious and skeptical ear.

Too bad I don't get royalties.

There have been studies conducted (and I don't have the links handy, but Google can find them)... one in particular was performed at the University of Kentucky... Nicotine is absorbed rapidly into skin, and even faster into the soft tissue of your mouth, tongue, and lungs. The hotter the vapor and the longer you hold it before exhaling (along with how deep you draw the vapor into your lungs) will factor how much you retain, and how much you exhale. Just remember, you are still absorbing it until it leaves your lips or nose. That being said, the best estimates (low and high) from the University study showed 70% absorption for mouth-only drag and quick exhale. Full lung-hits with a few seconds of holding it... resulted in 98%+ absorption. NOW... 2% upon exhale... distance of several feet to another person, air-currents, blah, blah, blah... you'd get more nicotine from eating a potato, tomato or eggplant than from second-hand vapor! Yes, Nicotine exists in EVERY fruit/vegetable in nature... it is a natural defense against insects. I agree he should be more considerate of others, but rest-assured you WILL NOT get cancer, COPD, asthma... or anything else from breathing second-hand vapor... and you WILL NOT become a nicotine addict from breathing second-hand vapor either

Your concern is justified, but have you tried talking to him about it without being accusatory or using inflaming language? To start a discussion? Just curious. What are you concerned about? His addiction to the device? If so, why?

vaper: a person who vapes vapor: the atomized liquid that has the appearance of "smoke" but next to none of smoke's properties. smoke: practically non-existent in vapor read this. It is a pretty good and easy to read description of vapor and vaping: http://www.cigbuyer.com/inside-e-cigarette-liquids-and-vapor

By product is WATER VAPOR! The only things in e juice are: Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycerine (BOTH found in foods and beverages as well as some liquid medications), flavorings (widely used in foods, candies, cakes, beverages and the like) and nicotine IF the vaper wants it in there. Period. THERE ARE NO CHEMICALS as with cigarettes. As for calling it an "addiction", that's pretty strong language. Most vapers used vaping to ESCAPE THE ADDICTION of cigarettes and the 3000+ chemicals known to be in them. Please do not confuse the two. A habit, now yes, it is a habit. A cleaner smelling, better tasting habit than cigarettes. Just my 2 cents.
