I worry most about losing my teeth due to vaping funnily enough. I have this tingling.throbbing feeling in my gums on the inside of my lower incisors which is where I think most of the nicotine is being absorbed by me. The feeling accentuates the more I vape. Funny that..

Me too, get a sort of weird tingle where sometimes the whistle tip touches my gum, sort of a cross between tingly and a bit numb, can't really describe the feeling. No teeth probs in that ares yet though Jules

Well it is definitely better than getting nicotine through burning tobacco..

Though nicotine is not carcinogenic it's not harmless and just a stimulant as people would like to think..It can cause atherosclerosis amongst other things.

So vape in moderation and try and cut down on the nic is all I 'll say..

Maccafan, the mouth and nose are the best areas for nicotine absorbtion and I think alot of us experience like this when vaping too much, I notice that my teeth clench when ive gotten too much.

I am aware of that skwoddy. In my case the tingling starts after just a couple of drags even after a couple of hours break.

OMG Maccafan, wouldn't think nicotene alone would cause chloesterol and damage the arteries. I though that was purely the HD and smoking that caused those fatty deposits and arteries to close up etc...

I just knew they'd find something negative in research eventually!

Don't worry about it, research show that life is deadly

I'm not sure that it was the nicotine staining my teeth either - I was under the impression that it was all the tars in tobacco smoke which caused that? Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Nicotine wont stain your teeth, it was the tar. its a strong stimulant though and has many side effects. Its my next quit, when I can be bothered

It's not new..The original research dates back to 2003 before e-cigs were popular.

Moderation is key as with most things in life..I wouldn't worry about it but wouldn't over do it either..It's not without consequences..
