A list of symptoms when quitting tobacco and changing to an ecigarette

[TheLizinator]

I can go from zero-to-bitch in less than 30 seconds when my battery runs down. I don't get the juice in my mustache, as you can see from my avatar, the flame from the birthday candles keeps it singed off

My teeth have gotten sensitive too--have little doubt it's because the numbing I got from cigarettes isn't there now. Smoking does an excellent job of dulling the senses (so we don't have to smell ourselves either). It's funny that my house started smelling like smoke after I gave up cigarettes >grin<

Actually your sensitivity is more than likely the effects of PG. It tends to dry out your mouth among other things...saliva being a buffer between the enamel of your teeth and the bacteria in your mouth. I started chewing a xylitol gum, which has helped some.

Well my nose itches high up inside. Sinus. I sneeze more. So I spray it with saline solution which helps, or put some Vaseline up inside nose. But good side effects are hair is getting longer and fingernails are growing faster and stronger.

I've used a neti pot for years to irrigate my sinuses. Have learned to pour it in my nostril and let it drain out my mouth. After you learn not to gag and choke it's really a great way to clear out your head.

I read the hair & nail bit earlier today then started wondering about this--why would hair and nails grow faster? My nails have taken off and I remarked a couple of days ago my hair seems to be growing like mad. Never thought about it having anything to do w/vaping. Anybody have any ideas why this would be?

Also, I've smoked Djarum cloves for a number of years and I truly miss the clove numbing from them. I always said "mmmmm" everytime I lit one up. They are sooo delicious.

I must have some sort of allergic reaction to PG. When I first started vaping I had no problems, but now when I puff for 20 minutes or so, the palms of my hands turn red and itch like crazy. I've never experienced this reaction EVER before. Because it's right after vaping, and I tried 3 different juices, it must be related. Does anyone know if this reaction is a symptom of allergy? I didn't find any other posts with this symptom, so it must be very rare or no one has mentioned it. I suppose I should order the VG version and try that.

This is my first full day of vaping, and my throat hurts a bit, i'm drinking lots of water tho, since now I am going to quit sodas and other flavored death drinks.

My question is: The throat hit is STRONG, I also sing and record songs as a hobby, I noticed that when i smoked analogs, ebcause of reduced lung capacity and as just a side effect of smoking, I couldn't really sing as well as I used to. I'm hopeful that now as I switch to vaping, that my voice will come back, I know my lung capacity will, but what about that soreness at the back of the throat and such...will that go away and will my singing voice be back to normal?

Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks!

While vaping, i had extremely sore throat and dry throat. It happened with both pg and vg. Anyway, i noticed i couldn't sing after a few days. Then i lost my voice.

I was thinking about my symptoms with burning itching hands and vaping. Perhaps it has to do with better circulation. After quitting analogs, maybe I have better circulation in the capillaries in my hands. I used to get very dry and peeling skin on my hands each winter. I always thought it might be related to smoking and lack of good blood flow in the extremities. Maybe my symptoms are related to a good thing, blood flowing where it was restricted before...

okay, when you guys said "flaky nose" I was thinking what do they mean? Boogers? Today I got the flaky skin under my nose. Put some moisterizer on it and you can't see it, but, wierd.

So far, I love vaping and the side affects, which I think are from getting rid of a lot of analog toxins, are not bad at all.

debeaty, what is your c-cigarette made of? I'm allergic to nickel and it makes my hands break out and itch.

I've not gotten any of the "bad" symptons at all. The only thing I've noticed is a bit more skin oil on my face, and my mustache is growing like weeds. I just broke out my bicycle the other day after not riding it for 14 years and try to go for about a 3 1/2 mile ride every other day. I don't even huff and puff when I'm done. It takes me about 30 minutes to ride my usual route.
