vaping around fish tank safe?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i vape all the time, sub ohm and 3mg, 80% Veg glycerine, im pretty sure from all the reading that as it's a vapour and your lungs absorb something like 95% of the nicotine. there is little risk of the fish dieing from a veg based product. more likely to suffer more from household products used and carried by clothing and the breeze through the house, soaps on your skin etc. when you exhale cig smoke there is still a large amount of other toxin in the smoke, vaping is a vapour not a smoke no toxins.

You could worry about your fish or you know you could just stop wasting money on something that won't do anything but harm your bank account in the long run.
 
Depends how heavy you vape. Certainly sticks to the water surface. If your a bit of a cloudchaser it can sit on top of the water, though this takes some heavy smoking and no vents, after a good session there is always oil at the top of my betta tank, it being the only tank without decent surface agitation though.It must take a good hour or two of smoking a 70w heavily to actually notice a problem. Id still like to know exactly how it effects the water as surely it can do no good, been thinking about this for ages I am glad you brought it up. Hooligan massive point on it being a veg based with the glycerin, maybe it will dose my anubias up and I can drop the co2;)
 
The easy solution is if anyone is worried about it just stop doing it. As SIMPLE as that. I don't smoke around children nor vape. I know what I do is not good for my health and would not want anyone effected by it. It always starts as social with your buddies lol
 
Don't ever smoke or vaporize anything near your tanks. For any aquarium to be successful, there is a large amount of gas exchange between the water and the atmospheric air around the tank. The dissolved oxygen in the water doesn't just appear... it comes from somewhere. It comes from the air directly around it.

It's not good for you to be inhaling that stuff, and it's certainly not good for it to enter the body system of a much, much smaller animal. Play it safe and don't do it.

Definitely don't vape around any land animals, or air-breathing fish. Or better yet, don't do it at all.

That is disgusting. Might as well not even bother doing water changes if you're so cavalier about smoking up your fish. If there is literally residue on the surface of the water after you vape, you need to consider moving your fish, vaping somewhere else, or giving up one of the two. Spending all the money all fishkeepers do on your fish only to poison them through carelessness like that is mind-boggling to me.
