Default vaping plus eczema(sp?)?

hey gang, just wondering if there's any vapers on here with eczema (sp?)
I want to get my girlfriend to start vaping 0 nic fluid instead of the 1-3 cigarettes she has a day, and I was wondering if anyone has had any negative responses with dry skin.
Like I said, she'll be using the vaporizer very sparingly (compared to me), but she has severely bad dry skin already.
If not, I'll just turn her into a medical experiment, and report back here for everyone else. (joke)

I have mild eczema on my hands... well I should say "had"...

Since I quit smoking and started vaping (only a week) my eczema has almost completely gone away. I now only have one small spot on one of my fingers and I expect that to follow suit with the rest of it

thanks for your response! She's got a little bit more severe eczema than what you described, but its good to hear a good response.
just as a side note, how much of a smoker were you before you started vaping?
nobody else have any experience with this?

my scalp (psorisos sp?) and other dry skin issues have gotten worse since coming off analogs and dialing down on my VG/PG vaping. mine is most likely due to stress. i used to smoke 1 to 2 packs a day of analogs now i can't even handle one due to the FSC chemical not that i can't smoke them i just dont enjoy them any more.

A couple years ago mine turned from bad to worse. I love swimming but the athletic club pool's made me break out in a whole body rash. Had to take prednizone to get rid of it.
I thought I'd have to give up swimming, but then discovered that a heavY layer of baby oil before I got into the water and lotion after pretty much kept the rash away. Another thing that appeared at the same time---the inside of my nose was dry and sore most of the time.
After finding the PV, the nose problem disappeared and I can get away with just usng baby lotion before I get into the water. If I don't lotion after, I might itch for just a little bit but NO RASH.
