Is it okay to vape with my retainers in?

I have fake pearly whites. They've been sparkling ever since I've been vaping and take a lot less work. (Still can't get Mrs. Kodiak to clean them for me though :)).

Honestly, I don't think there's anything in e-juice that could harm any kind of dental work. Especially compared to the burning cesspool of tobacco particulates we used to inhale.

I would think that if your dentist didn't give you any restrictions on what you can and cannot eat, you are probably safe to vape just about anything.

I'm sure we've got vapers on here with extensive dental work that enjoy eating things like Atomic Fireballs, Sour Patch Kids, Lemonheads, and ghost peppers.

(Actually I like eating that stuff, and while I don't have a retainer or dentures, I do have a bridge, two crowns, and an implant.)

This is true!

Dentures and retainers are actually made from an acrylic resin. It shouldn't be a problem. I've been vaping with dentures for over 4 years with no issues.
The only thing I have run into is that flavors can leave a film on plate, but nothing a good rinse didn't take care of.

Well, if the retainers are made of acrylic, I see no problem whatsoever.
After all, Molehill Mountain makes their lovely drip tips of acrylic. And the purpose of a drip tip is to vape :)
(Warning: don't click the link! Shiny Acquisition Syndrome will get ya if you see their drip tips :D )

I have got more caps and veneers in my mouth than anything else. ;) Been vaping for 2.5 years, and my dentist and dental hygienist have commended me on my good dental hygiene.

Don't ask your dentist... it will just give him/her a reason to dream up fanciful reasons not to vape.

Edit: LOL how's that for reasoning?

Actually, I brought it up with my dentist at my last visit; he's good with me vaping.

I hope so.... gambling with my retaineyz

Honestly, if you're really concerned, just keep an eye on it to make sure nothing's going wrong.

(Love the pug, by the way. I've been owned by three of them over the years; they're awesome dogs!)
