My wife has had a long bout with bilateral pneumonia and we recently purchased an air quality monitor to make sure that there weren't any environmental factors in our home that might be causing her lung problems. Fortunately our indoor air quality is excellent. As an experiment I started chain vaping around our air quality monitor to see what effect vaping indoors would have on our air quality. Much to my surprise the air quality did not change at all. However, when I cooked a steak in the fry pan the air quality quickly went from great to poor.

So cooking is way more harmful to your lungs than vaping. I would hate to see what the air quality would be like if I still smoked stinkies.

Glad to hear that you were able to prove that vaping does not affect air quality so to speak but how long did you actually chain vape for? I am curious what it would read or measure if you were to really Fog Out the room. Hope the wife gets better soon!
I vaped the rest of the day for several hours indoors without any real change to the air quality.

You know, I've always thought a bit of PG in the air in a house could actually be a net plus for people. It's good to hear it's at least not a negative :)

I know for me in the winter i have experienced a benefit from vaping because where i live it gets really dry... my skin hates it but nothing new. i should preface by saying i consume easily 1.5-2 gallons of water a day... (always have its nothing neurotic just a thirsty guy who has hydrated well even before my days in the USMC) But i still get dry skin in the winter but my throat/lungs when i have a cold dont get that dry painful cough as bad/much
