A member asked:

What if i use a electronic cigarette without the liquid containing irritants, is it a good idea for steam inhalation to decongest nose and lungs ?

I won't: Recommend it. There are better and healthier alternatives to relieve congestion. Hope u breathe better! http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/smoking-cessation/10-facts-about-e-cigarettes.htm http://www.Everydayhealth.Com/congestion-relief/natural-congestion-remedies-pictures.Aspx#/slide-1. http://www.anniesremedy.com/chart_remedy_congestion.php.

Thank

What is it you are: Going to volatilize if you are not using the liquid provided for the e-cigarette? There are versions that essentially give you water vapor. The problem is that nobody has studied the effects of the propylene glycol that is used as a propellant, or whatever preservatives, additives, flavorings etc. That are in these. If you are not using a cartridge, am not sure you can even activate the device.
