I found a thread on this topic last night, however, it was quite old so I thought it best to start it fresh.

Is anyone experiencing excessivily oily skin? I'm most definitely old enough that this hasn't been an issue for decades! In fact I was well into old lady flaking until about four days ago. I'm assuming its part of the tobacco detox process. It makes logical sense to me anyway that the pores are going to be a port for the body to expel all the gunk.

Can anyone give me an idea as to how long it will be before this reverses itself back to normal?

This happened to me as well...oily hair too (felt like high s hool all over again!) but I found a certain vendors juice to be the culprit. I got into diy pretty early on, but ordered a few bottles of juice everyone was raving about. Shortly after I experienced the 'oilys', and stopped using that juice and it hasn't happened since.

I suppose it could have been coincidence that my 'detox' happened just for the 3 days or so I was using this juice, but I find it unlikely. Ome day (I still have a lot of this expensive juice left) maybe I'll test it....for now, I think I'll enjoy having my dried up old face back ;)

Try a different brand of juice and see if it helps...

yes! and i still have it and i am well over detoxing and i probably started that old thread lol! I use really high VG so I thought that was the cause. It is pretty annoying though. On the other hand, maybe it will keep my skin dewy young forever! Bostonsnboxers, i am gonna PM you because i am really curious about which juice caused this for you and i hope you will share!

Oiliness - that's it! I was wondering why my hair feels so weird. And I'm starting to get the zits, at age 40....

Acne was mentioned in the sticky list of possible symptoms, I never thought of hair.

My take on it is that I was stuffing a whole load of chemicals into my system for 22 years through the analogs - not surprising that there are some weird effects after only 3 weeks. Nice to hear from TennDave that it went after a few months.

Happy vaping! :vapor:

I've been vaping now for over 1 1/2 years and have had greasy hair problems from the start and still do. If I don't wash it every day it looks like I've gone a week without a bath. I've tried PG juice, and VG juice, several vendors, DIY, you name it, and I still have this problem. It seems to be a somewhat common side effect that doesn't get mentioned much here.
