Riskee/Ruyan #4 health hazard - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

I made about this same post 10 months ago asking the question "is Riskee risky?", and now I am stating it rather than asking.

For me, Riskee/Ruyan #4 causes infected taste buds if vaped for more than 2 days in a row.

An infected taste bud is when just one taste bud swells, turns red/white, and causes great pain on your tongue. My mother used to call them "lie bumps". You also might be familiar with then from eating too much acidic citrus-based fruits like lemons or pineapples.

I have done my own little study with this juice and I have gotten the same results for 6 months straight after I made the connection. This has not occurred with any of the other juices I use.

After 2 days of just Riskee/Ruyan #4, I will get at least one infected taste bud. If I do not switch juices, the infection continues and spreads to other taste buds. When I do switch to another juice, the infection begins to heal and go away.

Riskee/Ruyan #4 is my favorite flavor juice and even though the infection is painful, I will not give it up. I just use it in moderation.

If this has happened to you, please share. It could be that I am allergic to an ingredient and thus not a concern for most of the vaping population.

Thanks!

I have been vaping Riskee 24mg (Pure Smoker)for over 3 weeks straight. It is my #1 with zero issues. I hope this gets better over time for you.

There must be something in there that you are having an allergic reaction to?

I have been having this happen since I started vaping mostly w/ pg. It occurs mostly when I vape the same flavor exclusively without switching. I don't know what it is but it is better than smoking. I used to get the same result when eating too many acidic foods also. Is it really an infection, or is it a reaction. Would like to know as I have researched and am pretty sure how to alkalize when acidic. Have been analog free three months today.
