This is true. In order to exhale out the nose the vapor will have to be inhaled and it's the nose that allows us to sense the flavors. I forgot about that little tidbit ealier.
Non-smoker looking into vaping (zero nicotine), anything wrong with not inhaling?

I used to think people were crazy for vaping 0 nic.. The reason I have weight problems is because I snack due to being bored. If you are not inhaling and just puffing away, for flavor and a fixation, than why not. Do what makes you happy and comfortable we live once. If you are inhaling VG and PG and flavorings, then I would probably say try drawing or making music etc...
Don't think vaping would help. If you find a delicious juice ull be sucking it down like nobody's business. It may be worth a shot with a cheap set up though.
I smoked for over 45 years, have been vaping for over 4 years and still don't inhale. I get all the flavor I need from drawing the vapor into my mouth and out my nose and mouth.
As long as you are an adult I see nothing wrong with you picking up vaping for those times that you can't resist snacking. I can't see a need for you to vape with nicotine if you have never smoked but of course that too is your choice.

It is possible to exhale vapour through the nose without inhaling it into the lungs but it does take a bit of practice to do it.
Pull the vapour into the mouth and hold it. (I usually widen my jaw as I do this) Simultaneously, inhale air into your lungs through your nose and hold that.
Then, (and this is use tricky bit) relax your throat and push the vapour out into your nasal cavity using your jaw and tongue to make your mouth smaller (close jaw and push tongue to roof of your mouth) If you exhale the air from your lungs at the same it makes it easier.
Be aware that this may make your nose run! Lol

Vaping helped me kick other habits, but that's another story . . . separate even from cigarettes.
Know that for a long time, and I am sure even still, there are vapers that do not inhale, just puff. Granted, that's due to nic being able to be absorbed through mucous membranes and not necessary to be inhaled into the lungs, but you could do it for flavor too.
But if the mood strikes you, take some in and get a full blast!
If you are concerned about the chemicals in eliquids, they will still be absorbed into your system through both the oral and nasal mucosa. Mucosal surfaces are rich in (vascular) blood supply providing the means for rapid transport to systemic circulation.
The main answer to your questions about exposure is, we don't really know. Most of us believe that vaping is RELATIVELY harmless, some believe that more than others. It's a decision you'll have to weigh for yourself.
You can exhale through the nose without drawing down into the lungs, it just takes practice. The way I think of my mouth draw is drinking a milkshake, taking a mouthful of milkshake through a straw, and then needing to breath through my nose while not swallowing the milkshake.
taste and smell occurs in the mouth and nose. Some of us taste plenty without lung hits.
Depends on what you mean by inhale

I sat here after posting my first reply and tried to exhale through the nose without inhaling into the lungs first and couldn't do it. I'm going to have to learn how to do this.
Edited: This is not easy to learn and I look like an idiot with my cheeks all puffed out full of vapor trying to force air out my nose.

Seriously, practice with a drink, hold the drink in your mouth, and breathe through your nose. Try to pay attention to how your throat feels different when you're breathing, and when you're swallowing the drink.I sat here after posting my first reply and tried to exhale through the nose without inhaling into the lungs first and couldn't do it.

The vapor will enter your throat, slightly, it just doesn't go down into your lungs.
I would buy a juicer and some fresh fruits. You will get real flavors and fill your tummy as well. On the other hand hand if you really want to try vaping then maybe you should. Vaping is a better option then trying cigarettes to curb food cravings. From my experience cigarettes did do a very good job at curbing my food cravings.
Another way to learn is to use a balloon.
Inflate a balloon, hold the end loosely, but securely, between your lips and relax your throat without breathing.
The air should escape through your nose
(This is how I learnt how to do it years ago - I didn't realise it would ever be of any use though
)ok, thanks. I appreciate the info. I'm going to have to give this some more thought. Wasn't aware of the other chemicals in eliquids to be concerned about other than VG and PG.
Just out of curiosity, which chemicals would be of concern when being absorbed through the mouth, as opposed to the usual worries of inhalation and lung damage?

This is to funny! *heads off to look for a balloon*
But don't you find the flavor is muted or sometime just isn't there for some of the more subtle ones?
I vape mainly because I can't seem to stay away from cigs long if i don't (several failed quit attempts), but I also really enjoy the flavors and they do satisfy my sweet tooth. I have issues with binge eating, especially late at night like you said, and for me when I vape a yummy liquid I don't get the crazy cravings for the 2 AM pints of ice cream anymore.
I get a lot more flavor from inhaling.

I've heard people say that. When I do lung hits, I don't taste anything on the inhale, but I do on the exhale. When I do mouth hits I get different tastes on the inhale, while holding it in my mouth, and during the exhale. We're all different though.
