There are factors to consider why a vaporizer does not produce visible vapor at all after you exhale. One important factor for better vapor production or visible vapor is the temperature. Every dry herb has its corresponding heat level to reach its boiling point or the stage where the material releases its full flavor in a form of vapor.

Is it more risky to vape without inhaling?
· 7. Turn up the power. An often-overlooked error is when a vape user has their device’s power setting so low that it’s not able to properly vaporize e-juice. By turning up the power on your e-cigarette, you allow it to vaporize e-juice faster so that less juice has a …
Why does no vapor come out when I Exhale?
· Holding in the vapour significantly reduces the amount visibly exhaled, and so a technique aptly called ‘zero vaping’ can be achieved by doing this. This is much more easily done with the e-cigs and low power devices, but the more vapour your unit makes the harder it is to eliminate all visible vapour expelled when you breathe out.
What happens to vaping residue that’s not inhaled?

Are you supposed to exhale when vaping?
It is important to purse your lips around the mouthpiece so there is no air gap where vapour can escape. Then, depending on your preference, you can either fill your mouth with vapour before taking it into your lungs (direct to lung) or exhale it without inhaling.
What happens if you don't exhale vape?
It can apparently do some real damage to your nose. Propylene glycol (PG) is a chemical found inside an e-cig that has a dehydrating effect on your skin. It can absorb all the moisture from the sensitive skin inside your nostrils, which is why a lot of users have reported nosebleeds.
Is vaping OK if you don't inhale?
At the end of the day, when you switch to vaping you can inhale or not; it's up to you. Either way you'll be able to enjoy the taste, and you can reproduce the sensations you got from smoking. That's the most important thing, after all. Almost everyone who buys an e-cig does so because they want to vape, not smoke.
Why is it hard to breathe when I vape?
Vaping and Popcorn Lung Diacetyl is frequently added to flavored e-liquid to enhance the taste. Inhaling diacetyl causes inflammation and may lead to permanent scarring in the smallest branches of the airways — popcorn lung — which makes breathing difficult.
Should I swallow when vaping?

Should you hold vape in your lungs?
It's a good idea for most people to start off with smaller inhales and top them up with a bit of air when you're just getting into vaping. Later, you can take deeper inhales. The more vapor you have in your lungs, the more THC will be contained in it. You still only need to “hold” it for a second or so.
How long does it take for your lungs to heal from vaping?
After two weeks: your circulation and lung function begin to improve. After one to nine months: clear and deeper breathing gradually returns; you have less coughing and shortness of breath; you regain the ability to cough productively instead of hacking, which cleans your lungs and reduce your risk of infection.
Does popcorn lung go away?
There's currently no cure for popcorn lung, but there are treatments to help alleviate symptoms. Treatment may also help slow the progression of the disease. One option for treatment is prescription corticosteroids. Your doctor may also recommend immunosuppressant therapy to decrease your body's immune response.
Can vaping collapse your lungs?
Vaping has become increasingly popular in the last few years, partly because it has been marketed as a safer alternative to smoking cigarettes. However, numerous studies have shown that JUUL and other e-cigarettes can cause many of the same problems associated with traditional cigarettes, including a collapsed lung.
Does vaping put water in your lungs?
There have been reports of “wet lung” (fluid building in the lungs) among vape smokers. Your lungs normally do not get permanently wet or fill with fluid merely by inhaling vaporized water (such as fog). However, vaping causes inflammation of lung tissue.

I've only smoked from a vaporizer a handful of times, but every time that I have, when I exhale, no visible vapor comes out of my mouth. I don't know if it's the light or something, because the other people who I've been smoking with don't exhale anything visible either, but I know that you're supposed to be exhaling some vapor after your hit.

By the very nature of vaporizing you should not see smoke. Igniting the product defeats the purpose of vaping. I too that it was strange but ya just gotta go with it. In time I realized I got better results from my vaporizer then any other form of use.

I use visible cloud on exhale to see if I am getting good extraction and to notify when to re-up bowl.

I'm using Marlboro 18mg PG. I ordered Marlboro 18mg VG on Monday. Haven't received it yet. I hope the VG isn't too mild. Is the VG safer than the PG since it's Vegetable?
Valhalla1 Senior Member ECF Veteran
also one final point about vapor on exhaling - how long do you hold the "hit" in ? I tend to use a pv like a cigarette, fill my mouth with vapor as I draw on the device, then inhale and bring it to my lungs, and exhale rather soon. I like to see the vapor dancing around me as I exhale, its part of the attraction vaping has for me

I'm not sure why blowing out smoke is so important to us but it is right?
sanfordf Ultra Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
Long slow light draws should keep the juice out of the mouth tip. Don't hit it like it was a ..... The atomizer needs some time to vaporize the juice. Since it is not burnt .... smoke and is only steam vapor it will disappate easy. If you hold it in like some people smoke that other 'green' stuff, the vapor (steam) will disappear.
What is the ingredient in vape juice?
The usual ingredients in vape juice are propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. These can dry out the mouth on contact. We also see a lot of vapers with a coating on their tongue called “vapers tongue.” Looks a bit like thrush leading to speculation that pg or vg might be altering the delicate ecosystem of bacteria in the mouth. That's speculation though.
What does it mean when you exhale?
If you actually mean “exhale”, then this suggests you are going to carry on inhaling vapour but never exhale it, which sounds like it might cause your lungs to burst if it weren’t impossible in the first place.
Does vaping work if you don't have lungs?
If you are concerned about vaping and not getting anything in your lungs, it might work, but chances are that some of the vapor will still get into your lungs.
Can you get a nicotine jolt from smoking a cigar?
Good question! The short answer, as I understand it, is that you still absorb some nicotine through the mouth area, even if it doesn’t get into your lungs. If you have ever smoked a cigar and not inhaled, you still get a nicotine jolt.
What happens if you don't use nicotine?
If you don’t use nicotine then of course it should be inhaled so the nicotine can enter your blood stream and head to the brain. If no Nic is used then it’s really up to you, if you want big clouds dont inhale, if you want the flavour not inhaling will keep the flavour in your mouth longer and inhaling will bring the flavour down your throat.
Is it safer to jump off a half inch block or a one inch block?
But this is like saying that jumping off a half-inch block is “safer” than jumping off a one-inch block. For all practical purposes the risk is exactly the same - minimal-to-small, and certainly far, far less than that posed by smoking.
Is vaping with inhalation risky?
Vaping without inhaling certainly can’t be more risky than vaping with inhalation, because it’s basically the same process minus one step (taking the vapour into the lungs).
How to get a low vapor vape?
Step one: Get an ultraportable vape kit like a disposable vape or even a pod vape. These devices are small enough to fit in the 5th pocket of jeans. They come in various small forms and often look like little highlighters, flash drives, or even key fobs. And as a rule of thumb, the smaller the device is, the less vapor it will put out. Low vapor with a discreet form factor is what you’ll need.
How to zero a vape?
Both require a hit for just a couple of seconds, but those attempting for the first time should try the shortest puffs. They also both begin as an MTL draw where vapor is first held in the mouth for a moment before going to the lungs.
What to do if nicotine level is too high?
Vaping should always feel good to the user. But if you really need zero vaping to work for you and the nic hit is too high, try a lower nicotine level or a device that puts out less vapor.
What to do if vapor leaves your mouth?
If some vapor still leaves your mouth, try a shorter hit, a longer duration of holding your breath, or taking deeper breaths.

Is stealth vaping easy?
Stealth vaping is easy. Zero vaping takes practice. There will be a little breath-holding here. This will change your normal vaping and inhaling technique, and it may take some getting used to.
Who studied the dangers of second hand vaping?
Igor Burstyn’s study of the possible dangers of secondhand vaping attempted to “estimate potential exposures from aerosols produced by electronic cigarettes and compare those potential exposures to occupational exposure standards.” His conclusion: “Exposures of bystanders are likely to be orders of magnitude less, and thus pose no apparent concern.”
Is second hand smoke dangerous?
Secondhand smoke isn’t as dangerous as inhaling directly from a cigarette, but regular and prolonged exposure to it is considered a serious hazard. E-cigs heat e-liquid with a small metal coil housed in an atomizer, and the heat turns the e-juice into the vapor you see.
Does vaping affect air quality?
But vaping (which was being done in 43 of the homes) had no measurable effect on the indoor air quality.
Can nicotine be deposited on surfaces?
“Nicotine from exhaled vapour can be deposited on surfaces, but at such low levels that there is no plausible mechanism by which such deposits could enter the body at doses that would cause physical harm,” Royal College of Physicians researchers noted in that organization’s comprehensive 2016 review of e-cigarette science.
Is smoking a hazard?
Burning any substance with fire—including wood, leaves, a building, or any plant material, including tobacco—produces volatile gasses, carcinogenic solid particles, carbon monoxide, and a mixture of dangerous byproducts that in cigarette smoke is called tar. Secondhand smoke isn’t as dangerous as inhaling directly from a cigarette, but regular and prolonged exposure to it is considered a serious hazard.
Is vaping a threat to the health of non-vaping bystanders?
So far, there’s no evidence that secondhand (or passive) vaping is a serious threat to the health of non-vaping bystanders.
Is vaping bad for you?
However, we do know enough about the likely health risks of vaping—based on the safety profiles of the chemicals involved—to understand that vaping almost certainly doesn’t pose risks to users as great as those of combustible cigarettes.
What is the process of vaporization in an ecig?
Beings the process the liquid goes through inside the ecig is called vaporization and the liquid being vaporized consists of propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin, in my case propylene glycol. Also having nicotine and flavoring in it, with the combination of those substances being labeled e-liquid or ejuice I think the correct term would be vaporized eliquid or vaporized ejuice.
How hot should the body be when inhaling?
This is in spite of the fact that it is heated when it is inhaled, and our bodies should maintain it at 98 degrees until we exhale it.
Is condensate a liquid?
Yes. But, condensate is the liquid which results from that condensation.
What is condensation going from?
Condensation is going from a GAS to a LIQUID.
Is smoking fog?
While it certainly sounds better, I don't know that it's necessarily true, anymore than smoking is just fog. We create the vapor by heating the PG/VG/flavorings. And what we exhale is whatever PG/VG/flavoring didn't get absorbed in respiratory tract. I think nebulizer machines that use ultrasound to move the molecules come closer to truly creating fog than PVs do. Of course, it is a much nicer euphemism, although I don't know that we expel much at all in the way of water vapor.
Does PG vapor cause fog?
The presence of PG vapor is not necessary for the 'fog' formation. But, its hygroscopic properties likely contribute to the water content of our exhaled breath.
Can you see a cloud when you exhale a vape?
With a glass of iced drink to your mouth, exhale a lung of vape. The resulting cloud is MUCH more than what you'll observe with just plain clean exhaled air. I'm not entirely sure what that fact means in regard to your discussion though, other than our exhaled vape has a high water content, and coming in contact with the cold from the drink causes it to condense. Water vapor, as you noted, is not a visible gas.
How to pack herbs in a vaporizer?
With your finely ground up herbs, load them into your vaporizer’s chamber and using a packing tool or your finger push the materials in and make sure it is packed fairly well but not overpacked.

With temperature playing a big part in vapor production, a digital vaporizer is most preferred by users to ensure a precise temperature setting, when vaporizing a particular material.
What is the best way to vaporize herbs?
Just remember, a vaporizer that uses conduction heating works best with a tight pack, as more herbs touch the heated walls, while a convection heating vaporizer will work well with a loosely packed ground up herbs, as it uses hot air that passes through the material simultaneously to vaporize the material and bring out the best flavors and aroma of your herbs.
Does a volcano vaporizer work with a loose pack?
Now, there are devices however that work better with a loose pack, like the Volcano vaporizers that utilize a pure convection heating technology. With a convection heating method, vaporization is not dependent on the materials touching the heated surface.
Can you loosen a vaporizer?
You don’t want them loose either as they will not be thoroughly and evenly heated resulting in an ineffective performance of your vaporizer. Make sure not to overpack the chamber either, as this will also cause restricted air flow, which can result in an uneven vaporization process.
Is it ok to switch from smoking to vaping?
Switching from smoking to vaping is not just something you think of at the spur of the moment. It is, in fact, a serious decision-making stage of your life, as it will determine your future health and your soon to be new well-loved pastime or habit.
Which herb produces less vapor?
Another thing to note is that some herbs tend to produce more visible vapor than the others. For example, herb leaves like lemon balm and peppermint produce less vapor than herb flowers like chamomile and lavender, as the latter contains more oil and terpenes. Above all the factors we talked about is the vaporizer itself.
