Do you have sinus trouble? If so maybe the vaping is drying your sinuses out. It made mine a little raw feeling at first but slowly has tapered off. Seeing a doc might be a good idea tho.

I would say to play it safe and discontinue use until you make it to the Doc and see what he says. If you feel this is posing a risk on your health you need to do what is best. Even if it means smoking some analogs for a couple days until then. Good luck |

Have you quit smoking analogs? When I quit previously, I suddenly had blood in the morning and it got bad enough that I could see it dried between my teeth. I freaked and went to the dentist and he said that when a person quits smoking it alters their body chemistry and sometimes allows the mouth to become overgrown with bacteria. He cleaned my teeth, and the blood symptom did not return. If this is the only symptom you are having, get to your dentist soon because your gums could be being damaged. If you are having other symptoms and if the blood continues, please see your doctor. Quote:

Yea i do have sinus i do tend to sneese really bad when i wake up which hurts and pisses me off ![]() I use to sneese even before vaping.. But now a bit worried since i got a bit of blood.. I'll take it easy mabey cause i vape and don't drink nothing at night and got my troat all dry.. Then again sometimes i notice i take a strong pull that hurts or makes me cough... Then again i might need to try a less pg or something fruity like pineapple i love my ecig i don't wanna let go lolz

Update: okay the day i posted this i didn't vape as much..ect and then next morning well everything seemed okay.. Even a friend who uses it i told him about the situation. he said i could be over using it? Like how a heavy smoker would crack about 3 cigs in less than 10 min. I tend to think that's how i vape sometimes ..But yestaday i started back my old habbits, vape sometime till my troat hurts.. And yet blood this morning. Could this be one of the reason why? But then again am going to see my doctor this friday |

This seems to be common in the initial days of vaping. Been discussed in other threads. Seems that smoking causes a depletion of blood to the gums, maybe from much higher nic levels during smoking. Then you lower the nic when going to vaping, and the blood returns, causing bleeding in areas that might have been damaged by smoking. It happened to me, as well as many others here. I started to use a peroxide pre-brush rinse and it cleared up in a couple of days, and hasn't been back after 2 months of vaping. Not saying this is necessarily your problem, but you might try this. Of course, a dentist should know best. Hopefully it isn't serious, and a peroxide wash (I use a crest formula) should be at all harmful and might clear it up. |

How old are you and and how long did you smoke for? This could be useful for other people that have this "damaged gums from smoking" problem. I'm 27, 1+ pack a day for about 10 years. I did not have this bleeding / gums problem. My mouth is also, in pretty good health. I do brush every day if that has anything to do with it. |
