Not inhaling while smoking can reduce the amount of nicotine absorbed by the body, and possibly reduce the nicotine dependence on cigarettes. Smokers who don't inhale but put tobacco to their lips or smoke in their mouths are at an increased risk of oral cancers such as lip, mouth and tongue cancer. 00:00 00:00

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.

Try exhaling through a beam of light. A flashlight works well. You can then see the vapor.

First off, you don't need to see any vapor to get high. But...........for many of us, we "want" to see those clouds so here's a couple of hints.
pazuzu33 Member
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.

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

What is secondhand vapor?
Secondhand vapor (which is technically an aerosol) is the vapor exhaled into the atmosphere by an e-cig user. Like secondhand smoke, it lingers in the air long enough that anyone in the same room (assuming the room is small enough) is likely to inhale some of the exhaled aerosol. As the name indicates, the bystanders are not inhaling secondhand (or passive) smoke—because secondhand e-cigarette vapor simply isn’t smoke.

At higher quantities – and not that much higher – we know that diacetyl damages the lungs. So why would you choose to have it in your juice?

But with less nicotine, you need more e-liquid to feel satisfied. And although higher-quality devices produce more vapor per puff, most vapers probably still consume more puffs after decreasing their nicotine level. Every puff you take, you’re putting something into your lungs that ultimately isn’t supposed to be there. The process of inhaling vapor leads to some short-term changes in the lungs (for example, an increase in airway resistance). While these won’t necessarily translate to long-term problems, it’s more likely if you put your lungs through it more often.
