Hello everybody! I'm new here, I've creeped around here before but finally decided to make an account. I just got my wisdom teeth pulled exactly one week ago today. Starting the third day I was inhaling through my nose. Drip tip up the nose... Yep haha. Anyways, the nic hit isn't the same.

My mom had 2 teeth pulled and they said 1 week no smoking. I assume the same would be for vaping, but she also had a week follow up later for stitches to be removed. Just call your dentist office and ask. I'd rather be safe with that when it comes to help after your wisdom teeth coming out. I for one am not a doctor or a dentist.
