Can you absorb all of the nicotine in a vape?
You will not absorb all of that because the nicotine in vape, or the vapor, is not all absorbed as much of it is exhaled. In fact, the Ecigarette Research Advocacy Group found that vaped nicotine is absorbed at ⅓ to ¼ the rate of smoking. Smokers absorb about 1 mg of nicotine when smoking a cigarette.
What's the difference between vaping and smoking?
Vaping, compared to cigarettes, is actually a rather inefficient nicotine delivery system. That's why you have to vape at a much higher dose than you smoke. Only about 40% of the nicotine actually makes it into the vapor. So by the time it reaches your mouth, you're only inhaling .72% nicotine.

Is there nicotine in the exhale of vape?

While particles from conventional cigarette smoke linger in the air for upwards of 45 minutes, researchers found that those stemming from e-vapor products evaporate within seconds, even indoors.
Does vaping cause smoke in the air?
They found, not surprisingly, that e-cigarettes pollute the air with nicotine and fine particles. This is what one would expect because, unlike conventional cigarettes, e-cigarettes do not generate any sidestream smoke because they do not smolder between puffs the way conventional cigarettes do.

Thus, while not as polluting as a conventional cigarette, the e-cigarettes are putting detectable levels of several significant carcinogens and toxins in the air. No one should have to breathe these chemicals, whether they come out of a conventional or e-cigarette.
Does vaping in the house affect others?
There's evidence that nonsmokers exposed to secondhand vape aerosol absorb similar levels of nicotine as people exposed to secondhand cigarette smoke. Along with nicotine, nonvapers are also exposed to ultrafine particles from secondhand vape aerosol, which may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
What is in exhaled vape smoke?
Exhaled ESD aerosol contained propylene glycol, glycerol, flavorings, and nicotine, along with acetone, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propanal, diacetin, and triacitine. Many of the elements identified in the aerosol are known to cause respiratory distress and disease.

How does vaping affect indoor air quality?
Several studies have determined the presence of nicotine in indoor air when nicotine-containing e-cigarettes had been consumed. According to a Bavarian study, nicotine in aerosols leads to an increase in nitrogen monoxide (NO) in the respiratory air of consumers after only five minutes of e-cigarette use.
Why does nicotine absorb so quickly?
There are a number of reasons for this. One of the reasons is that the tobacco additives, like ammonia, cause nicotine to be absorbed more rapidly when smoking. There are also some studies indicating that more nicotine is absorbed when smoking because smoke particulates are so small and invasive to body tissues.

Nope. Or if there is, it's trace amounts. The overwhelming majority of the nicotine in vapor is absorbed before you even get it into your lungs - in your mouth and throat.

If they're talking about after the vapor is exhaled, it's actually even less.

But the statement was vaporizing compared to cigarettes. If you loose 60% of the nicotine from the vaporization process, it would stand to reason that you would loose more from a combustion process.

I was looking for this info too. I wanted my facts on paper for the nay sayers. Damned if you smoke and damned if don't. Some people use any reason to feel superior to others.

I posted that .pdf as a link on my Facebook and Myspace! Gotta get the info out there!

Had visit from daughter that absolutely hated me smoking - she is the typical nag about smoking. But now she is happy for me as a non-smoker and new vaper.

no official studies have been done on this. Its is known that the lungs metabolize nicotine quickly and wouldn't be leaving much behind. however, it's best if she isn't breathing the vapor directly. it dissipates fairly fast.

I have young kids and as nobody really knows, I make a point to go to another room and not vape in front of them. Because they are young children (3yrs and 7 months) I also am discreet about it as they are impressionable. However, safety and security first, I just go into another room, it sure beats going outside.

There was a study that was done in New Zealand last year (I know really reliable I'm not even going to post the link to it) that said there was an infinitesimal amount left from exhaling; that our lungs absorb the nicotine almost instantly.

I noticed something different the other day while vaping. I had the shades open, and super bright sunshine was streaming through the windows into the room. This illuminated the vape more than ever before, and was surprised to see how long the vapor lasted, and how far it traveled in the room.

From what I've read and learned the amount of nic in a draw off an e-cig is minimal and mostly absorbed quickly so what you're seeing is the pg or vg vapor and not the nicotine.

Levels of Nicotine in E-juices
The broad concentration ranges of nicotine present in standard e-juices in the market today have usually raised questions of equivalency – “what nicotine concentration in an e-juice should we check and look for if we would prefer our vaping experience to be at least roughly equivalent to that experienced after a given number of cigarettes?”
Strength of Nicotine in E-juices
Nicotine strengths listed below for e-juices are the milligram numbers of nicotine per milliliter inside a bottle. This statement means that a 10ml bottle of 6mg nicotine e-liquid would consist of 60mg of nicotine (i.e., 6mg x 10ml).
Nicotine Levels: Vaping VS Smoking
As already illustrated earlier, the nicotine levels that provide any individual smoker with that similar vaping experience in terms of adequate satisfaction from nicotine cravings can be considered inexact science.
What is the difference between e-cigarettes and vapor?
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. E-cigarette vapor doesn’t have any carbon monoxide or tar, and the particles in the aerosol are liquid rather than solid. Dangerous chemicals and metals are found in vapor, but only in tiny quantities.
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.
Can you vape inside a house?
If you encounter people vaping inside a house, all of the secondhand vapor you see comes out of the mouths of the vapers in the room.
