These damn cuts in my mouth..

[just4747]

won't go away from e-smoking. Even cigarettes didn't usually keep cuts in my mouth like this. Every day I e-smoke keeps the cuts pretty much from healing or it makes them worse. There's one between my lip and gums and one under my tongue that hurts like hell when I move my mouth, drink, eat, touch it...anything! It's horrible! I have stuff that I put on them to numb them for a while but it doesn't help them heal and sometimes doesn't even work.
Any suggestions besides not vaping? It's so very annoying..

Well what has caused the cuts in the first place?

[just4747]

Lol, oh I thought that was clear...the e-smoking vapor itself is causing them! Just like regular cigarettes do sometimes.

How can smoke or vapor make cuts in your mouth?

Maybe you need to go and see a dentist.

I have never ever heard of anyone having cuts in their mouth and gums, because they smoke cigarettes.

Makes no sense what so ever.

I'm glad I never had that no matter what I smoked / vaped. Sounds painful

[just4747]

Sorry for being different? Lol, it's not my fault. Whenever I haven't smoked in a while (with cigarettes, I wasn't a constant everyday smoker), when I finally do smoke, I get a couple cuts in random places in my mouth after a few days, and they get better, but very slowly if I keep smoking.
It's not that surprising that a concentrated vapor of nicotine shooting at your gums and tongue could cause a cut or something, right??

Well, anyways, that's what happens...maybe it's a coincidence since I don't really know the cause, but maybe not...

Do you get dry mouth when you are smoking either real cigs or e-cigs? If so, try drinking more water during this time - it may help.

Your dentist will tell you that smoking exacerbates and indeed can provoke the onset of gum disease (bleeding and/or pustulent gums often follow). Whether vaping would have a similar effect is doubtful, especially as I understand that it tends to create an alkaline rather than an acidic oral environment.

The old thinking was that nicotine is directly involved in this although now I have heard (somewhere) that tobacco smoke is considered to be the main culprit. Sorry not to quote sources - consequently this is just my 2 penn'orth.

From Wiki
There are many processes which can lead to ulceration of the oral tissues. In some cases they are caused by an overreaction by the body's own immune system. Factors that appear to provoke them include stress, fatigue, illness, injury from accidental biting, hormonal changes, menstruation, sudden weight loss, food allergies and deficiencies in vitamin B12, iron and folic acid. Oral ulcers are also a common result of ceased cigarette smoking, affecting about two out of five quitters.
