Nosebleeds anyone ?

[7slicetoastie]

Has anyone else had consistent nose bleeds since they stated ?

I have had my 901 for about 1 month now, use TW liquid and have been very happy about the switch from analogues.

Recently, probrably about a week ago I have been getting regular nosebleeds, literally once a day. Nothing too heavy just a little blood.

Has anyone else experienced this or is it just me ?

I have searched the forum but can't seem to find any other mention on this so I thought woudl throw this out to see if anybody else has experienced this.

Maybe blood pressue has increased with use ? Don't know not a doc

Cheers,

Slice

Do you know if your nicotine intake has changed? Nicotine is linked with circulatory issues.

I do vape quite a lot..mostly at work as have my own office the e-cig is constantly in my mouth so my intake of nicotine has probrably increased quite a bit !

You should put the e-cig in your mouth, not up your nose

But seriously; a lot of people tend to smoke quite different with an e-cigarette than they do with analog cigarettes. I also noticed that I was getting way too much nicotine in my blood when I started e-smoking. Start with the lowest level of nicotine you can get and when you feel it doesn't satisfy your needs then step up to a higher level. And remember the nicotine also enters your body even without inhaling the vapor. The process already starts as soon as the vapor is in your mouth so not inhaling doesn't mean you're not getting any nicotine in your blood.

It's funny, I would have thought that you would be more likely to get nosebleeds from improved circulation with less nicotine. I guess taking more nic might raise blood pressure, I don't know.

he he..not up my nose..must remember..not up my nose..

i think I should have stayed on 18mg for a while before I moved into the 36mg..the only reason I did it was the 18mg just didn't seem to take all of the edge off the cravings..

I think I should mix in some VG and see how that goes

Could possible be the PG.

I've been vaping for about 2 weeks and for the first couple of days did not notice any detrimental effects. However between days 3 and 10 I noticed my mouth and nose getting a little sore - I put this down to the change in Ph affecting the mucus membrane.

Over the last few days the soreness has gone but I have found that my nose gets irritated if I smoke an analogue which it never did before I started vaping -- think I now know how a no smoker felt in a room full of smokers

If you're worried go and see the Doc

I had a few days with very minor nosebleeds, I was blaming my new vice (snuff) but perhaps it was linked to nicotine. Certainly at the time I was having the nosebleeds my nic intake was through the roof. Anyway they were very minor are they seem to have disappeared now.

I had HORRIBLE nose bleeds when I quit smoking. I would wake up in the middle of the night and my nose would go numb and start bleeding for what seemed like hours ... (really only 5-10 minutes) This happened consistently for about 2-3 months.

I would also have dried bloody boogers all day long ...

I never went to the doctor for them, but they had me quite worried for some time. They eventually just stopped, and I have one every now and then, but for the most part, they are gone.
