ACNE from Vaping??

[Adam Cuniglio]

Hi fellow Vapers, I started vaping 6 months ago with no issues, I loved the whole culture plus it stopped me from smoking. About a month ago i started breaking out mostly on my back. I stopped and it cleared up for the most part because I listened to my body. I recently did some research and went to a 70-30 PG/VG ratio. I then started feeling itching on my back after 2 hours of vaping and it seems to be coming back again. I never suffered from acne before. Has anyone had this Issue before? I heard some people switched to %100 VG and seen the acne disappear.

I got stomach problems from vaping for a while after I started. Then switched to unflavoured 100% VG. Havnt had any problems since

sometimes it takes a couple of months for the body to start purging the toxins from smoking... I also broke out in a rash/acne on my back ... lasted about 2 weeks ... but I was already vaping 100VG from the start, so I cant blame PG as the issue.

If you been vapeing 6 months and this just started a month ago doubtful its the vape. Reactions like that would've shone up a lot sooner. Could be something as simple as stress. Also curious how old are you?

I quit smoking 14Jul06, because i couldn't afford ciggys anymore and my employer was offering free nic gum for smoking cessation. I was 36.
So the first three months or so--i had horrible acne around my mouth and nose. I really think that there is something to the theory that your system begins to clear out toxic stuff from the cigs.
I joined a tanning bed and still tan about twice a week. Best thing i ever did for my skin.
Started vaping in 2013. I am a pretty heavy vaper and i haven't suffered any breakouts. But many folks do suggest changing your pg/vg ratio.

I found that the ingredient Linalool was causing this breakout, spoke to Spike the owner of NY Vape she edified me on this topic now im back to vaping with no symptons

After reading a bit on Linalool, don't think I would want any in my ejuice whether it caused me problems or not...
