e cigrattes the mist casue acne on face?

[TropicalBob]

I read it. Thing is, I never liked menthol much! I've heard of those crystals being used by snuff sniffers to strengthen the hit of menthol in the nose. The tobacco absorbs the menthol somehow.

I'll have to check my pharmacy to see if they stock these.

As I write this, I'm watching homebrew liquid filter through a medium fine paper lab filter. Slooooow. It will take all night to filter one funnel of brewed liquid. And it sure doesn't come out as clear as I thought it would. Still dark brown (but smells great).

I'm not a menthol user either, but I do add a little to my e-liquid to change the taste or add more flavor to it. It gives my e-liquid a little kick. I mostly use the menthol to boost the light or regular e-liquid from e-cig.

Where did you get your lab filter? I'm still looking. What tobacco did you use this time?

Cool - gotta try that one. TB are you reading this?

Hope plan B is still in play.

Plan B very functional...already turning some govt agencies/staff towards my cause.....

That great news - remember keep us informed as often as you can...

Hi Rachel....I am fine here (after that roller coaster ride by my govt)..hehehe.....

Menthol easy to do....get some Menthol crystals shards(the ones they sell in Pharmacies for flu treatment)....very little is required....dilute it in hot water(only with hot water, can't melt with cold or room temp water)....mix it quickly before it turn cold(recrystalisation will occur) to PG solution or e-liquids..it depends on how strong you want it to be so experiment till you get the right strength....gotta go now, I'll be back in a while...

Rachel: Wife works as assistant to a college president, so I knew the college would have the filters. The things cost pennies in huge quantities. So they gave her a packet to bring home to me. I used liquid I've had refrigerated since the last batch of pipe tobacco was cooked. I put the liquid through three filtrations, until there were no further particulates to remove. But it's still dark brown. My thinking was I'd end up something almost clear. Oh well, I'll use some as is and will distill some to clear it up.

I had noticed also in the very short space of time since smoking e-cigs, I came out in rather strange facial bumps/spots... But I didnt entirely give up analogue cigarettes..

Is it really due to cutting down on smoking normal cigs or is it a reaction to something in e-cigs that I might be sensitive too?

I knew I was allergic to PG before I started vaping.. but tried to make my body adjust to it... didn't get better.. got worse. When I used to go to clubs with smoke machines a lot (and work at them) I would break out with acne frequently. I STILL have scars from it. It did happen from vaping PG also. I am on VG now (finally found some flavors I like)and I am fine. No more pimples.. no more hives Yay!

I have had no problems with acne. I hope that continues!

I have sensitive skin and was told by dermatologist to use Cetaphil facial cleanser, supposedly non-irritating. I've been using it for 20 years. One of the top ingredients is PG. I was surprised to see this since people report skin problems from PG. Confusing.
