Everyone knows that person who starts doing vape tricks, even if nobody asked. But can they vape out of their ears?
A video originally posted to Reddit of a girl taking a hit of her vape, holding her nose, and blowing smoke out of her ears has the internet puzzled. How is this even physically possible?
According to Inverse, the mysterious vaper probably just has a history of ear infections. Younger people are more prone to ear infections because the canal that's supposed to drain fluid and control pressure is too small. To mitigate it, doctors place tiny devices called myringotomy tubes in the eardrum. Since the canal connects the upper throat to the middle ear, the vaper can force vape smoke through her ear by applying the same pressure you'd use to pop your ears.
Unfortunately, she probably won't be able to do this party trick forever. Myringotomy tubes fall out after some time, closing off the eardrum from any fruity clouds.
Also, just don't do this, K?
